This store is very dirty, and the workers are rude. This si my third time in this store, and each time I go there, the store is very dirty, products blocking isles, and the workers are rude. The manager is always in the office or outside smoking.

Two days ago I was given my write up for a ncns. It wasn't intentional, I had my teeth out and was on medication. I completely slept through my shift... Well, a few week leading up to my ncns, another employee had ncns... No write up!! And I verified with said employee before filing this.. Why am I the only one being wrote up for this and no one else is?! You can't be unfair like that..

I live across the street and have had numerous complaints about the store in albany, louisiana. I have to say... I went in yesterday, and the store was once again, stocked and clean. I can't say for how long this has been going on since I did decide at some point to steer clear of the store but in recent weeks, the store seems very organized. The one thing...

Dollar General service and safety

At 4 am Jan 27 single car in parking lot, small town we look out for each other . There was one person in store stocking. This is the same person that is always working and stocking there. I didn't talk to this lady that night but later asked why she was there so late she replied to me my job. How can a store manager not be there or have someone with her to help? Do y'all as a company not care about employees or their safety? Just let managers treat them any way she wants ? This is a sad way to conduct business.

Store manager was not there . Asked person later that week she said no one but her was there. And why would one person have to stock the whole frozen food section alone.

Dollar General I was followed to my car and threatened by a dollar general employee and now I am banned

After refusing to give refund or exchange item with receipt at first dollar general, I went to second and received an exchange. I went to first dollar general showed cashier my receipt and simply said, :you are misunderstanding your return policy:. Walked to my auto, got in and cashier came outside and said, you better be glad im on the clock or I would see you. I stopped my car and asked if he was threatening me and he retreated into the store. I immediately made a police report. They watched the video. My wife returned to the dollar general a couple of days later and was told she was banned. I called katina, the regional manager and she told me neither my wife or I was banned. I returned to the store on 02/05/2020 and was told I was banned. I got katina on the phone and she lied to me and my wife and had me banned when she said I was not on the phone to mmy self. I am 56 yr old army vet who is pissed at this situation. If I could find a lawyer iwill sue the hell out of dg store nr 13069 848 s. 16th ave laurel, ms. They are liars and dont deserve to serve our community on account of the situation I have listened to. The cashier is a liar and the general manager katina is a liar.

For a second time within 6 months I have gone into the local Dollar General store and found that it is dirty and messy with product that should be on the shelves stacked on carts in the aisles. It is next to impossible to shop in the store because the shelves of product are inaccessible and new product is not on the shelves. The store is dirty - floor...

On January 23, 2020 I shopped at DG I had to wait to check out because the 2 employees were STANDING IN THE DOORWAY smoking. The smoke came thru the store. I am highly allergic to any kind of smoke. I had to wait until the smell of cigarettes was outside. I'm sure there's a rule about smoking & where to go. Nobody wants to come into a store with people...

Every time I come to my DG the same van is parked in a prime parking spot for customers. This is rude. They are here all day, they need to park in other locations. It seems that this has to be longer for your corporation to care. It is simple move employee cars from the front door parking locations! Maybe the employees could pick some trash up out of the disgusting parking lot while they are at it.

It saddens me to see the store I once worked in many years ago in such horrific shape. It's truly disgusting. I only worked there a few months before being called out to lead a team to purge stock rooms and stores of old merchandise (alpha team). Then was given my own store to manage. I did do for 3 years and won awards for top sales, reduced shrink, and...

Dollar General worker

I am a regular in youratore at 801 zion Church Rd, and I asked about the Manager Kevin, I was told " I got him fired finally" by Tina. This is absolutely absurd to hear this from a so called manager. Losing Kevin from that store will hurtypu more than you know. After tonight I will never shop there again. He was the only person that was making that store look better, and was a hard worker and very nice.

It seems a change in management means the right to bash customers who were friendly with the last employee. The unprofessional behavior of this female employee is noted, and will cost this store any further buisness.in a town of 1400 how many customers are you willing too alienate with your classless demeanor? This loyal customer who spends 800+ a month (from my household alone) at this location will find somewhere else to shop.

Dollar General waited about 10 minutes with no one in front of me just to pay $1 for cookies

I just visited my local DG and the store was empty so I expected the highest of customer service quality. I only went to buy $1 of cookies. I grabbed my item and was waiting for 5-7 minutes until I asked where everyone was at impatiently. Someone said they will be right with me but I had to wait another 3-5 minutes until they came to the front. When the cashier arrived they were rude eating while talking to me. I just expect more from any store in at least being either good customer service or fast check out but I had bad customer service and a 10 plus minute wait for one item that cost literally $1

Dollar General hours open and stores not being stocked

I have 4 DG stores within 3 miles of my home and half the time they are out of juices. One of the stores has no juice at all on its shelves. And I buy a certain java monster and but all 12 the stores get at a time then it might be 3 weeks before they get more. And lately I go to a store at 5:15 after I pick my child up from school and the stores are closed I drove out of the way yesterday to the cashier locking the doors at 5:20 in the afternoon with a sign on the door saying closed for the evening

I was at the Beech Creek Pa Dollar General store on January 18 2020 around 130pm. My fiance and I went in to get a few things. My fiance went up to buy us a pack of cigerettes and then go out to car to smoke and sit with our dog that was in the car. He went up to purchase our cigerettes and his ID was expired, so they would not s ell them to him. He is 47...
