I work at Dollar General 10589 St Peter MN. I have mentioned Mold smells in the store and back room. I mentioned it to my Manager and was told good luck. I do not know if the mold is in the ceiling or in the wall between the store and the back room or in the ductwork. Something has to be done. I have had customers complain about it. they have done surveys about it. I have been getting migraines from it. HELP!!

You should hire people that know what shampoo and soap is, they always small and look like they just came from a trash bin and all the dirt and dust on items and no room to walk half the time. I suggest hire people that know what there doing and that know how to shower and know how to be nice to people. You make a lot of wrong choice's when you hire people...

Pe PettleKenny Jan 24, 2021 Why do the employees smell like marijuana all the time? Even the managers do. You can watch them smoking weed in there cars in the parking lot. Very unprofessional! Even when wearing a mask it all you can smell at times. If you ask for help from an employee the smell gets even stronger. We the customers don't want to smell that...

Dollar General Forever pals light up spiky ball for dogs

Please dont sell these toys. These toys have batteries inside the toy. My dog bit into it and all the really small batteries came out. This will hurt or worse harm a pet. If my dog had swallowed these I would be contacting my lawyer not complaining. This is the number on back of these toys [protected]
I beg of you to not sell in your store. I dont want a refund. I want you take off the shelf. I got these at a dollar general in morgantown wv 26505 on earl core rd. You can see the batteries inside. They are not made for animals

Desired outcome: stop selling product harmful to dogs

Dollar General Service of the employees

They treat their black customers like we are always stealing. I asked an
Employee why was some plugins on clearance and instead of checking or seeing what I was saying they cashier immediately blamed customers for putting the item on the clearance isle. When I explained it was more than one and placed there as if employees did it she still insisted I was wrong and she didn't know what I was talking about. I wasn't trying to get the product but wanted to know what made them clearance items when the app says they were still $11. That's in Copperas Cove, TX. In Killeen, I've witnessed the store manager talk bad to customers and even when she was wrong she still blamed the customers. Claiming they were stealing and made some women not being their bags in the store but it was only black women. I could have went to social media with this but I'd rather see what the company will do first.

Desired outcome: Someone need to have better training or get fired.

Both times the managers said there was nothing they could do... Saying the...

The stores in Chickasha are always a disaster. Shelves are bare or completely disorganized and a complete mess!! You can't get through the aisles to even shops because there are carts and boxes up and down most aisles. It's not just once in a while! It is every single time I go in there. Usually employees are outside smoking while nothing is done inside. It's pathetic!!!

This store needs to close. The coolers are completely empty. Nothing on the shelves yet the carts with the stock on them are parked in the aisles and you can't get around them. The employees smoke at the door so you walk through a smoke cloud to get in. Trust me, I won't be walking through that smoke again because I won't be back. The employees are making a...

My husband and I both was falsely accused of stealing from the store. When we spend a minimum of 60 dollars each visit to store. The manager called the police having us thrown out of the store in front of people. When we had done absolutely nothing wrong. Had no proof of any wrongdoing on our part at all. It is also the only store in our town to shop. They...

The Dollar Store in Byron, IL. Upon entering the store, I had a face covering on. However, there was a woman who apparently worked there but 9n shift. She began yelling at me that I didn't have a mask on. The sign on the door clearly said face covering required. She required to remove me face covering and put a mask on. She was loud, rude and the situation...

This isn't the first time I have had problems here at this location.. In the evening hours I have went in to get some things for when my girlfriend comes in to town to visit me and I have had to wait and wait for someone to come to the register to check me out.

Dollar General Capon Bridge WV store manager whom would not identify herself

After several weeks of many, many items never getting stocked...I simply asked for managers name! I qas tired, dirty, and hungry from a very long day at work! I was not up for a long conversation w her! Simply wanted a discrete review in hopes of change...as I asked for it and clerk refused she approached me w an introduction that was somewhat cocci and bulky like...wanted to know why I wanted her name etc! Very, very unprofessional! Meanwhile a big, burly biker guy at other register starts to yell at me "How dare you complain about this fine young lady...cursing and sharing at me! I weigh 126...5'2" soaking wet! He and I exchanged words! I confronted her that she was going to allow this! He was red faced and obviously fearless of a confrontation! Meanwhile I pay fast, leave store only to have his gf try to fight me in parking g lot! Oh my God I am rattled! I am seriously considering calling an attorney tomorrow!I love Dollar General and drop 10 K a year there minimum!I would greatly appreciate a response before I make any decisions...
Sincerely,
Angela Boyd...[protected]

Desired outcome: Manager fired or I'm seeking council
