Dollar General
Reviews and Complaints

I am 32 years of age have worked since I to was 16. I heard people complain about working for Dollar General and honestly I thought, they were baby's and didn't have the experience to work there. After working 1 week I apologize to anyone I thought that about. It is a freakin joke working for them. Where I worked there were only allowed 2 people to work at a time. Non management people have to do everything...and I mean everything but paperwork and deposits. I had to put up roll carts, watch for theft, mop floors, clean bathrooms, move roll carts and set up outside, front shelves, recoveryand that was all while waiting on ALL CUSTOMERS. I thought it was just the store I worked for but, after talking to people from the other 5 local stores that is the way they are all ran in the area. You get min, wage to work your tail off and be treated as a theif and a no body. With out there employees they would have no store's. This is the worst job I have ever had! I will no longer shop at ANY Dollar general, they will no longer get my money and I just recently quit. You know they have alot of merchandise walking out the doors but I guarantee its not the employees its the customers because the cashiers are running around with way to much to do and can not greet the customers properly or actually spend any time watching them.

I also work for dg and agree with all your complaints. The company is ridiculously overzealous in their pursuit of catching employees breaking company policy. The fact that we cannot even purchase a soda in the middle of a shift without clocking out is absurd. If corporate spent half the effort they put forth watching employees work into building a solid relationship with over worked underpaid loyal emploees things would run alot smoother. People get tired of working their tails off for an unappreciative company that treats us all like thieves

Sounds like you should have looked into company policies a little more before you hired on. My guess is that you have no where near the experience the people that work there have or you would understand the DG policies when it comes to protecting their inventory. Most retail corporations have the same sort of policies to protect their assets. Typically employees that complain about these type of policies are the ones that have something to hide... the product they are walking out the door with. I live in Crete and know that some of those ladies have been there since the store opened - nearly 10 years ago. Therefore your complaints that you have more experience is simply ridiculous. My guess is they were in retail before you got out of diapers. The problem is you are 22 and have yet to grasp the ins and outs of running a retail operation. Grow up.

yes im a consumer that shops there every day and the main kathy dont know last name manager, is very rude and talks about things that should not be heard from a payin consumer.. like talkin on the phone about drinkin beer or drugs... and sayin that is cant get anything done because of dealin with consumers.. she does not need a job like that.. she neds something behind closed doors... i will not shop there again...but on a good note besides of the manager the cashies and other managers are great...

I purchased this cat food from the Dollar General in Turbeville, SC. I'm having to dump this cat food out of my cats bowl on a daily basis due to it crumbling to dust when my cats try to eat it. I'm highly disappointed that this is even on the shelves. I usually buy better cat food, but was on a tight budget this go around. It was a complete waste of my money. I had to dish out more money to get another bag of food. Will never buy this again and wish I could get my money back.

I shop the Urbana Ohio store on a regular basis, at least 2-3 times a week., Today I asked a girl that was stocking shelves the price of a can of apples that were not marked, she said she had no idea what the price was, and turned back around and went on doing what she was doing. She didn't offer to go check the price or anything. When I was checking out I mentioned this to the checkout girl and she said that's our new manager, I said seriously, she was rude and not at all concerned about the customers. May be a long time before I go back. Today is October 27, 2017. In my opinion this person is not a good fit for your store.

WOW. You wanna see a drama show? Come to Vandalia, IL Dollar General. Soap Opera plus starring the Mgr, and her grandbabys mama lead cashier...boy, dont this take the cake. Control freak refusing and threatening NOT to give breaks (illegal as I'll get out), claims to forget employee breaks, refuses to stock bags for consumer products? That really floors me...we want customers, but no bags to their purchases in? What a joke! What a freak show this store is!

I had walked in the store and no one talked to me and the store was so nasty I would never go back to a dollar genearl to shop I think the store can be better I have all ways shoped their and the old team was nice now the team was not noce to me at all so please make a store vist to that store soon as you can!

We have 3 dollar generals in our city. I live closest to the one on N. Fifth st. I went there last night to purchase a few items and couldn't believe the shape of the store. This was not the first time. I couldn't even get through the ailses because of carts with product in them and ladders and such. Another time I was in there and someone had vomited in a mop bucket and it was left on the shelf. That store is in deplorable condition. I told the manager what I thought and he said he just started one month prior. There is no call for that kind of filth in a public store. I hope something gets done abou it.

I was wondering when Dollar General became the Local Wal-mart. Prices are just as high as going to Wal-Mart and sometimes even higher. The price of a 14ounce drink is $1.65. Wow, ya no, i think I will take my business elsewhere. I walked to the check out counter ans waited over 5 minutes, before I had to go find an employee, who then never said, Hello or how are you. Very rude and disorganized store. I will continue shopping at Wal-Mart where the prices are ALOT CHEAPER.

The employee yelled out the store ### and when I confronted him he thought it was funny. I asked him for the manager he told me to get him myself. When the manager came out and I confronted him he told me that his employee is mad because his replacement is always late. I wanted him to confront the employee, but he said he was on a time schedule to worry about the milk delivery and he was going home soon. I kept asking him to confront the young man. But instead was told to leave and not come back into the store. I was kicked out for telling the employee and manager Keith to handle it.

One of your employees does not conduct herself as a good employee by the name of vanessa osborn, she is mouthy, and complains about her job on facebook.

My husband and I was sitting in the parking lot of this dollar general store in muskogee, ok and one of the employees walked up to the door and pulled her pants down. While I was shopping she constantly had her phone in her hand and was standing around doing absolutely nothing but texting on her phone. Her dress code was in violation as she had her shirt pulled above her navel and has piercings and tattoos showing all over her torso area. Very bad business. Will not be back.

wow do i just work in one of the only stores in the country that has a GM and DM that have a clue?

First of all, they can't refuse anyone to fill out an application...regardless of whether they are hired or not they CAN fill one out.
Secondly, they are NOT allowed to ask a persons age! The only thing they can ask is whether someone is over the age of 18.
Last, I totally agree with what you are saying about running the register and expected to put up merchandise. I just quit my Assistant Manager position a week or so ago because of issues in my store. You know why they don't have a stocker, cashier and manager at the same time? If they hired more people, the District Manager doesn't get as big of a bonus...save payroll but make sure the store is model condition. The issues in my store forced me to quit and go to the NAACP. I am white but the issues going on in this store...OMG!
At least 90% of the managers are incompetent. They push all the work on everyone else and they just look busy. My manager was prime example. The stories I could tell about Dollar General...
FYI don't complain to anyone...you will lose your job.

The dollar general store "manager" in 2727 Edenborn at Metairie is a rude woman she needs to do her job right instead of talking on her cell phone, and help customer out I always buy at this store but after her attitude with my 4 years old daughter for touching a toy never ever to buy here again, she should put sign on every shelves that says"do not touch anything "very unprofessional woman, not good manners at all.Get off that phone lady and stop telling people your business, customer do not need to know all that and be professional and get your nasty attitude right.

I was an assistant manager for Dollar General, and just had an experience with the cash registers rebooting themselves, I called the store manager, and she kept asking me what is going on, of course, I ended up calling tech support, which did not help at all, The store manager said she was too far from the store to come in and take care of the problem, It's her store and her responsibility... This was so stressful that I had to resign. I'm now suing the store manager and the company for lost wages, because of this incident and never being trained on how to handle this situation.

The following day after I resigned, the store manager sent me a text, that said I wasn't responsible enough to handle the situation, of course dip ### I wasn't trained, how much more of friggin ### can you be.

Your a solid gold idiot. The Store Manager is the only one who makes the schedule and they don't want the hours they work because they are on salary you ###. That means they don't get paid for all the extra hours they work doing your job and that of 6 other people because their staff is too lazy to do what they are supposed to be doing. And it's not up to management to let cashiers do voids or anything of that sort because the majority of you people would steal and pocket money left and right. In retail 70% of all theft is INTERNAL, this is why we trust our employees less than we do the customers.

It is not their job to sweep cigarette butts off the city sidewalk. That is the up to the city to maintain the sidewalks. From the sidewalk to the curb is city property. You should quit being Algorish of the situation. Were talking about cigarette butts not a freaking bomb. As a rule of thumb, I try not to get their during the last hour of business. The registers could have had problems, had a situation, or had to close early for inventory. Now if I were treated disrespectfully while inside dollar general I would let it be known, call for a manager, and follow the chain of command if appropriate. Though I have a current beef with Dollar General about management and customer service that went unanswered, yours seems quite frivolous. As far as laughing at you, well did you demand to come in there, despite the doors were locked? and wait there. I have seen that happen firsthand at Hollywood Video, but come on it is not life or death here. Go to another location or somewhere else. Nitpicking will get you nowhere.

i had been feeding my two dogs everpet dog food for some time. i noticed the little female dog began losing a lot of weitht, hair coming out on hip hips with scaly sores underneath. i took her off everpet and started feeding her iams dog food. she immediately began putting her weight back on and her hair is growing. i am so sorry i put my dog through this. i will never use these products again.

Actually there are several instances of pet food having salmonella. Since my son has been sick from it for 5 days now I've been doing alot of Further research brushing up on the subject an d you might want to have them checked. And to stealth you posted on th BK post that smonella is only in chicken when in fact you are wrong. Salmonella can come from a leaky roof with bird droppings in the water then get in or on anything snd contaminate it... It can come from feces if people don't wash their hands, it can come from 100 different things other than just chicken. Do your research before you post on serious matters.

Everytime I go into the Dollar General it wreaks of perfume. The bread wrappers, the cat food, the women's pads (which cause irritation) . I have severe asthma. I will not be shopping at the Greene or Whitney Point, N.Y.. I think it is in the warehouse or trucks. I will not recommend this store. I'm surprised no one has sued.

Why didn't YOU walk back for her instead of making her walk is my question...

Brown and stealth are right they could get fired because of something so stupid.

Sorry about your unfortunate experience with Dollar General. I can say that the ball wasn't sold because it had been recalled. The system wouldn't let the cashier sell it. She could have explained that but what do you expect, she works for a company who only hires lazy, rude and incompetent staff. Yes, I worked at DG up until about a week ago when I had enough of the company.

Hey TROLL, I would love to meet you.It would be your last look at a human you piece of CRAP!

No one cares about your cripple mother. In some societies the elderly do the nobel thing and kill themselves once they become a burden to their relatives. In the time it took you to write this stupid story you could have euthanized her already.

You should have asked to see the manager. I would have like to hear her excuse for not allowing you to buy that ball.

There really was no excuse for this kind of behavior. She could have gotten a price check and manually input the price.

what ### would buy DG brand batteries for their digital camera---digital cameras need lithium batteries, as this camera is a mini computer and will leach the life out of an energizer brand if you use it.
