Dollar General cashier refused to put on mask that was under her chin, I lost a friend yesterday to covid and asked her nicely to please put on her mask and she said "I don't have to". As a senior with underlying health conditions this is totally unacceptable in the midst of a pandemic. Description of employee Young black woman in her 20's with braids

Dollar General Employees not wearing mask, sus behavior

I went into Dollar General located at 2955 Ashland City Rd Clarksville TN on 12/28/20 approx 9:50pm. The male clerk younger, overweight with dark hair no name tag was standing around not wearing a mask. Our county is under an ordinance by our mayor and our state has one of the highest warning due to the high levels of COVID in the area. I asked him why he wasnt wearing it until I got in front of him and he said he didnt have to unless he was 6 feet away from a customer. I told him its really dangerous. He said he doesnt have to and apologized if I didnt like it.

This employee has been rude before and the attitude previously was listening to him yell at his coworkers when the front register was empty and he was asked to check people out, also not wearing mask. The store has has people acting suspicious, for example the employees exiting and watching which car you leave in and standing in the lot following you out of the store, mentioning personal things about your life you never shared, looking through the front window or side door to see where you are and who is with you. Overall, a stalky-creepy vibe that shows an irrelevance to the law or government and an issue with safety. Also, a strong feeling that if you mention it they will argue with you.

Desired outcome: Having the law followed, no harassment or stalking

Dollar General labor board issue ( employee working off of the clock)

On Saturday 12/26/2020, I visited the store in Glenville, WV ( route 5)and over heard an employee talking about she was working off of the clock to get her work done. I know being a restaurant manager that this is not allowed . I went to get her name so you would know who it is. Her nametag said Brenna. This was around 4pm. Hope this gets resolved so I don't have to report to the labor board. Any questions you can reach me at [protected] or e-mail [protected]@yahoo, com. I would like to know when this has been resolved please

Thank you

Sheila Miller

Desired outcome: that should be a termination due to putting company at risk

you should really pay attention when getting gift cards. however if a card is unused it is eligible for a refund in most DG’s I believe.

Filthy is the best way I know how to describe it. Mold was growing in every freezer! So bad that I took pictures. Tried to upload the pictures and the system keeps telling me the picture is too large. It was simply filthy and not good for business. Black mold begats illness and we are in the middle of a deadly pandemic. Please fix it and clean it up.

Every time I go into your Dollar General on Divinity Street in Bristol, there is a major issue with coupons. Today took the cake as far as i'm concerned!!! I put digital coupons on my card, and they hardly ever come off. One of the managers told the cashier I was right about the price and she made the manager go get the sign. He said the item was on sale...

Dollar General Store manager professionalism

We have recently had an employee test positive for COVID-19. The store manager refuses to let any employee know about the situation. We all work together in a relatively close fashion and some have health issues. Store manager tells employees that you won't get paid if you are out to a COVID-19 situation. As I just researched it and found out you indeed can go out on sick leave and get paid if you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for this virus. The store manager is grossly using her position to lie to her staff about a public and health safety issues than can cause a death to someone

Desired outcome: Fired for unethical professionalism, and putting the safety of employees and the public at risk

My wife and myself was shopping at one of your locations in RI on 12/20/20 around 4:30 pm when 3 employees were cursing loudly in one of your aisles. The use of the f word in front of customers was very disrespectful and I am so glad that there were no children in the store at the time. I will never go back to this location again as I felt this was very...

This store is the most disgusting store. There are aisles that are blocked by carts that are filled with products needing to be out on the shelves. This store is out of stock on many products like canned foods such as sue bee chicken & dumplings, dinty moore beef stew, canned tuna among other products. Their cigarette case is completely empty, and the...

Went to this store on 12/19/2020 both the assistant manager and manager are on duty. The manager is not masked. One register opened. The line was excessively long but no self-checkout was open and the wait was long. Customers entered without masks and were coughing over and over again (possibly on purpose or so it seemed) and instead of saying something to...

I can only afford dollar store shopping after being laid off. Dollar General is my go to now for groceries. I'm so tired of friends and family getting sick with covid-19. The employees here set a horrible example for the public. If they don't wear mask and social distance then non of their patrons feel obligated to do so. This is unnecessary community...

Dollar General Denture cream complaint

My name is Donald Wyatt and this day went in to your new store at 135 N. Pennsylvania street. Store #22566. The price stating on the denture cream was 3.50 cents. as stated under the product. When I paid at the counter, the price was increased to 5.50cents. I told the manager and was told that a mistake was made stocking the product on the shelf. I said are you going to honor the price stated and was told that dollar general does not honor its mistakes and you are out of luck. That was so disrespectful to say that to a customer. I did take a picture of said mistake to prove the wrong product was put in the wrong place in case they intend to lie. I told the cashier that I want to file 2 complaints. How I was treated and how you dishonor your mistakes. What do you intend to do to make things right? If nothing is done as they said nothing will be done, I will have no choice but to put my complaints on line as proof to how DGX treats their customers and with disrespect and dishonor to the entire WORLD to see and ask that they never shop at DGX downtown ever again. Sincerely Mr. donald Wyatt
