Dollar General Poor Customer Service

I'm so disappointed in the customer service I received at my local Dollar General. There are not many shopping options I'm my town, but I know I will never step foot in another Dollar General again. Not only are you unable to use printed coupons (that a retailer has emailed to you even), the $5 off $25 coupon is crap when it has to be after any other coupons have been applied. The cashier and manager were so rude to me when I was trying to ask questions and explain. None of my other coupons were coming off and the manager wouldn't allow most of them as they were the exact match of what was pictured but still qualified based on the description and was not in the excluded category. When calling customer service line, she couldn't even find where it stated printed coupons are not accepted. When asking about the 5 off $25 she just said to find more items. Seriously?! I can go to Target where I can use my Target Circle, printed coupons plus still get 5% off my purchase using my Target card. Why would I mess with poor customer service and a company that doesn't want to work with their customers? No thanks.

Desired outcome: Policy change.

The coupons were fake. Often fraudulent coupons will have pictures of items that do not match the description. You kind of should have known they were fake based on that alone. They do allow coupons to be stackable with the $5 off $25 coupon as long as the other coupons are manufacturer's coupons but will not allow it to be stackable with store coupons. Printed coupons are not allowed unless printed by an authorized provider most printed coupons were not authorized to be printed by the manufacturer.

Dollar General Dangerous Driver

Speeding Dollar General Truck (trailer 38429) through the town of Leesville, Louisiana today (4/15/21) at about 2:45 pm... Additionally, laid on the horn and flipped another driver off, without justification, when the person in front of them simply had to slow down to make a left-hand turn on Nolan Trace at a busy intersection of 5th Street (northbound) and Nolan Trace.-Fire Fighter / Paramedic

Desired outcome: Retraining and monitoring. Dismiss if a previous similar complaint or if it occurs again within a year.

I have a complaint about a rude manager. I went into dollar general to buy my daughter a pack of chips. As I was putting the chips on the self checkout, my keys which were hanging from my wrist hit the metal on the self checkout register. I admit I even made a face because I didn't mean to do that. No where was it around the glass. Then a lady who had a...

Dollar General Poor treatment by store manager

I brought back a package of strawberry gelatin with peaches because the taste was terrible. They refused to refund the $2.00 for the remaining 3 unopened cups. Is this the store policy for the store manager to deny a refund? Oliver was the individual that told me the manager refused to refund the item. Please reply if this is correct. I will shop elsewhere if this is the policy. Thanks in advance for your reply. Kind regards,

Well store policy and company policy are 2 different things. Company policies are rules and regulations imposed by the company on all stores, store policies are rules and regulations imposed by the store manager on their own specific store. Usually when it comes to food it can only be returned for poor quality not because you don't like it.

On 4/6/21 I bought 6 Amazon gift cards, when I tried to use them 1 showed as invalid. I contacted Amazon and they said that the point of purchase was responsible for a refund. When I went back to the store the manager told me that Dollar General was not responsible for the card. I want my money back on the invalid card. Store number is #03393. Amount of gift card is $100.00. My name is Terry Cooper 24 Wilczek Rd. Lumberton, Ms.

Hi there, I really wish someone would look into an incident at the following store: 351 E Steve Warriner Dr Russell Springs, KY [protected]. My brother recently was hired (and fired) within about 2 days. My question to you is, "What kind of management do you have working there?" I mean seriously, who fires someone after 2 days?

Dollar General Service

Our dg in Randolph, VT just fired Aleasha Finkle. The only cashier that consistently was doing her job and not out front smoking cigarettes all day while customers had to wait 10 minutes or more to check out. Aleasha has learning disabilities but did her job. She forgot to bring in plastic pools from outside and was terminated. Even though the pools were there in morning. This was the first time she forgot. Why didn't she get a warning? This store has trouble keeping employees and the store has been a mess since the first manager passed away. Big mistake.

Semi trucks are allowed to park on residential streets as long as they don't do damage to a public road. California is the only state I know that defines a truck that can not park on a residential street and the only requirement to be allowed to park on their residential streets is that they weight less than 11, 000 lbs which is about of amount of sustained pressure needed to make asphalt roads to start cracking.

Someone needs to visit the store located at 514 Greenville Road, Mercer, PA 16137. This location is very dirty and photos will show that there are carts in aisles and blocking aisles that does not make it conducive to shop with a cart. A customer should not need to move a cart (could get injured), nor should I need to alter my path to look for an open aisle...

Dollar General I am complaining about Cliff Scott one of your District Managers..

I'm complaining about Mr Clifford Scott because, i can tell just by being a customer and someone who is a relative of one of your managers that have served you well for many many years now. He is not fair with his team, he picks and chooses. depending on who he has a better connection with and that's not fair. I know of managers that have cost yall so much money yet he's still best friends with them and has them over some of the other managers. He puts too much on his team members and then when they ask for help he's nowhere to be found. The relative I have that is a manager and has been a manager of 3 of your stores now. They have asked Mr Clifford Scott for help but he has yet to give it to them. Now that Mr Clifford Scott is moving this said person again, he finally brings a team in to help them. So he's pretty much getting that store ready now that the manager is leaving for another manager but yet not getting the the store my relative is going to straight. Mr Clifford Scott is racist and if you aint some young white girl who will sleep with him or if your skin aint the same color as his then he throws you to the dogs. So theres alot of team members left behind when it comes to Mr Clifford Scott

i hope this find it's way to Mr Jeff capel if not i will be contacting him another way thank you and have a blessed day.

Desired outcome: Mr Clifford Scott will see his team members as humans again and not robots

Dollar General Cashiering

I am a driveline representative at Johannesburg Dollar General. My name is Jeanette Shire. I work for Jennifer Arocho +[protected] [protected]@drivelineretail.com.

Why twice now would the Store Manager (Tracy/Stacey?) and now the associate Shandi ask me to purchase food for them because as a lone cashier in the store they are not able to purchase fir themself. I refused the store manager a few weeks ago and the store manager had someone else buy her gum and this time I said ok but from a sox and separation of duties perspective and/or Free bagging concern I feel something is not right. I am unfortunately new and tend to be a target with the FBI telling me I do have a case but am concerned with their including me in a potential risk situation.

My contact info is Jeanette Shire [protected] and [protected]@yahoo.com.

Desired outcome: Your managememt issue.

I'm not sure how it is viewed everywhere but there isn't any actual policy saying associates can not process their own transactions. I have worked for Walmart Kmart and Family Dollar and none have any written policies on who can and cannot process which transactions.

Dollar General Digital coupons Hershey’s

I have purchased on several occasions Hershey's candy . I've purchased more than I usually would because digital coupons offer 3 off a 10 dollar purchase and Most recently 5 of a 15 dollar purchase of Easter candy and it never deducts I mean never .I do not bother the cashier as there is only one and Saturdays there is usually a line so I don't put the pressure on the staff . It is not their fault . You can review my purchase history and see the coupons I had down loaded and the items I purchased . Check 3/27/21 . The Easter candy . Phone [protected] . Also you usually do not have the items in stock that you offer coupons on . I shop at my location weekly due to convenience . I would like to continue . My response to this complaints will depend on whether I continue .

Desired outcome: A refund of the $5 for the Easter candy midt recently purchased . Will accept gift card
