Crispy rice cereal
Jan.4, 2024, about 6:45pm.
I went to purchase a box of Crispy Rice cereal at Birmingham Ohio Dollar General. The price on the rack said " crispy rice cereal $2.45. When I got to the check out counter, The price came up as $2.95. I told the cashier it said $2.45 on the rack, and he said he could not change it. Again, I told him the price was $2.45 on the rack, and he refused to change it to the price on the rack, I told him this is a bunch of bull crap, and told him I didn't want the cereal (at that price). So I didn't get it. This price change (always UP) has happened to me several times at this location, usually, if it is small, I let it go, because I do not want to fight over a quarter or so, but this is getting rediculus. I am totally dissatisfied That they would not make the price what it was said to be on the rack, and that I have to either eat the loss, bring it up to the cashier, or go somewhere else.
Claimed loss: Time and gas running to this store for nothing.
Desired outcome: Monetary compensation, and your stores selling the product for the price it says on the rack. I'm tired of getting ripped off.

Gift card I purchased was denied at the store I tried to use it at
I purchased $450 worth of gift cards on 12-15-2023. When paying, 1 of the cards was rejected, so they gave me a refund and I purchased another card to the same store for the same amount. I gave this card to my grandson & his mother used it for a purchase at the store. At that time, the card said it was denied, so she had to pay cash for the purchase. She...

I had to walk to Dollar General located on Commerce Street in Summerville Ga yesterday. It was approximately 5:30 pm. I was doing my shopping when it hit me that I had to use the bathroom. My husband asked where the restroom was and was told that it was out of order. I honestly do not believe that but anyway, I had to poop badly. With nowhere to go and I couldn't make it back home to go, so I pooped on myself. I have never, and I mean never been so humiliated in all my life, and I am over 50. I know that employees do not like cleaning bathrooms, but I truly believe this whole episode could have been avoided. Please look into whether the restroom was really out of order or if they just didn't want to deal with cleaning the bathroom. I have never had to deal with anything like that and I did not like the fact that I had to walk home after I had to poop on myself because of this. I will not be going back to this store because of my being humiliated with what happened.
Claimed loss: I ruined my pants, my shirt, and my jacket that I was wearing.

Heartland Outdoor Cat Food (?) Cat Poison (!)
Our cats don’t recognize this crap as food. Had to buy it because their shelves are nearly always empty.
Attempted return, manager balked, but finally acquiesced.
I got my righteous customer anger out by opening sealed items and leaving them on their untidy shelves (I have a new hobby!).
Loosing money is the only thing that gets their attention, so sabotage those shelves!
Go to hell Dollar General.
Desired outcome: Total bankruptcy of Dollar General.

Store #22557 at the address 5 Rte 103 Sunapee NH is continually closed on Saturdays. I am furious because that is the only day you can use the $5 off coupons. I have complained before, but they never do anything about it. The manager needs to be fired. It is infuriating. I went by today at 1130 AM and the place was locked up tight as a drum, no sign or explanation. Disgraceful.

Unexceptable customer service
This is a complaint against the manager at one of your General Dollar stores. I would like to raise awareness of the unacceptable customer service treatment I received. It first started when I visited General Dollar on Saturday, 12/02/2023 in the afternoon. I asked the young lady at the cash register for the rental price of the DOCTOR RUG carpet cleaner...

I was in the store the previous day at exactly 12 pm. I arrived until maybe 12:45 pm. The Manager in question even checked me out. There is another man that rides a four-wheeler down there also. We look very similar in stature, same hair color, and build. I asked her repeatedly to look at the camera again; she would see it wasn't me. She refused, just...
Read full review of Dollar GeneralHeartland dry cat food
I bought the Dollar General Heartland dry cat food for the first time. I have 2 cats and a dog who also eats out of their bowl when we bring him in at night. My youngest cat immediately started having bloody loose stools. My older cat has also been puking it up. Last night my dog who is 13 and has NEVER had an indoor accident also had a massive loose bloody stool. I will not be feeding this to them ever again.
Claimed loss: $22.58
Desired outcome: Refund on cost of cat food since I cannot finish it.

Then I received a 'INSTRUNCTIONS FOR CLAIMING UNPLOYMENT BENEFITS' form on November 7,2023. I called [protected], talked to 'James' who gave me #0814709 to fix this oversight.

While in the Minier, IL DG (61759) I witnessed the manager, Paula, reprimanding an employee on the sales floor around other customers. It sounded like a matter that should have been private. Treatment of employees by upper management on the sales floor should not be tolerated. Because of this I will now drive 7 minutes to a neighboring DG. This is sad...
