Date 11/09/2019 I was a bit distracted as I was talking to the cashier about the slightly cooler weather and people wearing overcoats. He said, you have just the one bag. I realized when I got home (5 miles away) that I was missing the first 8 items on the receipt (see attached). I called the store to tell them they still had half my items they said...

I go to shop at least once a week can't even get down some of the isles. They never have what I need on the shelfs and the stocking metal crates are all over the store packed with merchandise. It is frustrating. I know it is a small town store and other people I know quit shopping there because of this. Family dollar is accross the street and much easier to shop in without a mess.

Dollar General store appearance/merchandise accessibility

I am filing a complaint about the ongoing appearance and accessibility of merchandise. It doesn't matter what day if the week or time of the day, the store looks ransacked! Entire aisles are clocked with inventory carts. You are often unable to even get to the shelves or push a cart through the aisle. The location of the store is Coalton(Nokomis) IL.

As an active customer and a very frequent visitor I can't believe this stores heat. It doesn't exist and has not worked for well over a week. The employees are wearing heavy winter coats to work in. All of the corporate paper shuffle to get approval for repairs is absolutely ridiculous. Why does this happen at this store every ear and not taken care of. Shame on Dollar General for allowing this to happen.

Purchased a box of the Queen Anne Cordial cherries on the evening of November 7, 2019 at store #03604 in La Féria, Texas. When I went to open the box on Saturday, November 9, 2019, they were all melted and the contents of the cherries were all over the sealed containers.

I have been a customer at this location since they opened because it is close to my house. I have noticed that the store always looks dirty, there is never any room to move around and shop because there are containers and boxes covering the floor. It is hard to find any item I am looking for. The management staff is horrible to their employees and...

ghetto talking white girl made it abundantly clear she hates people. so I had proceeded to other line. Much nicer service. Why does DG hire psycho employees whom obviously hate general public, and very open about it. I should lawyer up after this disgusting experience. Please evaluate your employees before hiring them Me and my loved ones were disrespected in this store.

While my granddaughter & daughter in law were shopping in this store, Nov 7th, our great grand baby was walking with us, holding our hand. She temporarily let go of her mom's hand, & from behind, was knocked into a shelf by a dog. The dog came out of nowhere & obviously just wanted to play, but it's not acceptable for there to even be dogs inside, except of...

Dollar General working off the clock

Store number 00777 . I have worked off the clock every Saturday for almost 11 months now with only to be fired because they said I was doing bogus returns. Never heard of that but yes I was arrested for theft under $500. I was told three days in a row to not alarm our alarm system. Through my ex boss Anita Spears. I was fired so say doing what another employee was doing and is still doing. I will not stop my fight to clear my name. So someone really needs to see about this situation.

Dollar General parking lot

The parking lot is very dark especially with the time change the lights do not come on, the side parking lot is also dark. We are concerned for your employees leaving when
the store closes and also driving into the parking lot you could not see the road. We were not sure the store was even open. Thank you for your time .

Sincerely,

Ed and Dawn Blazis

Yeah, please include more info if you can because this is indeed a very serious / valid concern. A few months ago I was the victim of a hit and run while parked at a Goodlife Fitness here in Canada. The gym staff could care less despite me voicing concerns over their lack of cameras for a place open late at night...

Make sure you try pass this feedback on to corporate so they can work with the property management company to rectify this. It's in their best interest for both customer and staff safety. With the latter likely being there late at night it always helps to have proper lighting, I mean that seems rather straight forward. Thanks for voicing this concern.

Dollar General employees/way they are treated

How can someone in this franchise treat their employees the way they do and get away with it? They are not given enough hours in their shifts to be able to do everything that needs to be done! They have to watch registers, help with the truck, take freight out to the floor, put the freight away. All the while, having to watch for customers and ringing them out. And usually there is only 2 maybe, they are lucky, employees there. They only give them a weeks training and expect them to know how to do what is required of them. And there hours are chaotic also. Something needs to be done. Someone needs to go undercover and see how things are done at these stores. High turnover rate and employees are burned out too soon. Could be a great job if they were trained right and were treated right also. And given at least 3-4 employees to make things right in the stores.

As i know someone who was a keyholder there they work them like slaves. Leaves pages of work needed done with threats saying write ups if not done. The girl worked almost every single night. Cuz the store literally had 5 employees. She was only keyholder there. She was hurt when another employee hit her wirh a full freight cart and 3 days later the keyholder was fired for bogus reasons. And not only that but publicity humiliated! The store manager was screaming at her making sure customers heard. Calling the girl horrible names barely let her get her personal belongings! She keeps the cashier who does nothing but bad talks everyone and cant even ring up right without needing something voided. Yet got rid of the one person who did work and the town liked. They are bad people. Dg dont care about character! If they did they wouldn't promote someone like nicki to be a store manager. Look at how many have quit this past year. She cant keep help bc shes kazy and uses all the goof hours on herself while others left fighting for the rest ! Its sad and I think they should shut down every store and properly train managers on human decency oh this was witnessed in camden michigan store number 13823.
After the girl who was fired left the manager was making fun of her and bad mouthing her to every customer who would listen!
