Dollar General Netspend debit card

I went dollar general and put 100$ on a netspend debit card. Came home to pay a bill with it but it would not let me use the card. I called netspend and they told me I wasn't registered on their computer. I have used netspend for 20 years. But I went ahead and registered again and tried to register the card again but it wouldn't register the card. So I called netspend again and they told me the same thing again and told me to go back to dollar general. Si I went back to dollar general and the manager told me she couldn't put the 100$ on another card that I had to contact INCOMM.com. since I contacted them 4 times now and this is where I'm at on this situation. Now my bill is past due. Water is shut off and now I have to come up with another 60$ plus the 100$ to have my water turned back on and I have no money to have it turned back on.

Desired outcome: To have the money put on another card I just got from netspend. Please

I had told the person if she went to he that there would be repercussions against me. She didn’t put that in her complaint. They suspected me and told me to take a long weekend. On September 6 my district manager called and...

Dollar General employee

Very rude and vulgar behavior in the Uniontown area Dollar general. The employee had a name tag of Kalie and she acted as though we were invading her space. She was in the phone with someone-appeared to be voice texting-and several times used the "[censored]" word. While I understand that people use that word frequently, we feel that it is very unprofessional for a store employee to be heard.

We do hope that some disciplinary action will be taken against this employee.

TY

Steve from Keisterville, PA

Desired outcome: When I go into the store with my child, I expect not to be spoken down to or have vulgarity used around my child while shopping from a staff member.

I was in the above store on September 10, 2023 around 2pm. Many of the aisles were partially blocked by full racks of stock (at least 6 or more) waiting to be shelved. The clerks on duty were wasting time filling the candy and gum shelves when there was clearly more urgent areas to attend. There is an obvious problem with time management and personnel. A...

Dollar General Ye old christmas decorations

The older Dollar General Store in Jay Oklahoma, last week they had all their Christmas Decorations from the last year or longer on sale 50% off. This week the same decorations are full price again. Somebody needs to go look at this Store by suprise. Its dirty there is always no room to get around very well because they have so much and carts with more stuff to put away everywhere. It is not a one time thing literally everyday I shop there the poor crew is struggling to get things off the many carts all over and on the shelf. So why not clear out that old merchandise and make room for the new? Seriously someone is going to get hurt trying to navigate this store.

Desired outcome: Fix it get more help or have floater to help with organization, get new management on all levels. Store is a disgrace to Dollar General.

I totally agree it is so hard to navigate with all the big cart full of merchandise to put away.

We walked in the store, my wife and I along with our 5 year old son, and the fellow working the counter asked my boy if he saw the skeleton.

Dollar General Misleading price sticker

On 08/23/2023 at approximately 8:15 PM, I entered the Dollar General store at 405 S Michigan Ave, zip, 48602: I picked up two 20 oz. Cherry Cokes because the shelf sticker read $1.75 each, so with deposit charge, should have been a total of $3.70 for two Cherry Cokes. But when I got to the checkout, the elderly lady waiting on me rang up $4.70! When I protested, she insisted the items were $2.25 each! So I walked away briefly, returning with the attached image of the shelf sticker. I told her. "$1.75, get the stickers right!" The woman was totally indifferent to my issue, as I walked out commenting that my time was wasted. So I drove another 1/4 mile to a Family Dollar store and bought Cokes for the price they were STICKERED at. That was the LAST TIME I'll ever enter into ANY Dollar General store again! Compared to Family Dollar, workers are commonly rude or at least indifferent to customers. I'm a senior on benefits, who will no longer tolerate this sort of treatment!

Desired outcome: This worker should be fired!

Dollar General Not aloud to sell prepaid cell phones.

I just got back from the Dollar General in New Port Richey, FL

11850 De cubellis Rd, and the lady behind the counter said that they weren't aloud to sell the prepaid cell phones in the locked display case.

I kinda laughed, but she was serious and couldn't give me a reason why. I even asked for the Manager and she said that there wasn't one working today. WHAT?.

If I owned into that franchise and one of my employees said a remark like that. I would fire everyone that works in that store. Because they are being trained wrong and definitely is putting the stores name to shame.

I'm still dumbfounded.

Her attitude was awful and said well this time I will do it but these are expired coupons I told her that wasn't my fault and that's the price that was on them as I've been a manager in a store and if the coupon was expired it's on the store to pull them . So I thought she fixed it and when I got home no she had charged me almost 450 a piece for them and not only had she dun that but charged me twice . I went bk in on the 16th with the receipt to get my money bk . I waited my turn as the cashier had a line simply asked to speak with a manager she asked what did I need and I explained to her and I had the receipt and the package of the item . She said ur bringing bk stuff ur dog ate I said I paid for them and yes he ate em I got overcharged and would like my money bk that I got over charged so she went to the bk I followed her and the assistant which happened to be the same lady who checked me out started talking and I stepped in the bk they both screamed at me to get out of the bk room and I told them I was just trying to explain they again yelled at me and Kay got up and told me she didn't even have to fix it that day but she did and I said mamn u over charged me I showed her where she quantity of 2 and cane up as 895 and than she scanned one at 450 and than she price over rided for 4.00 she never took the 895 off period and than charged me once again for one she never did give me the correct amount . She than said to me so I'm just supp give u money on what u say and I said lady u over charged me the proof is here and I'm not trying to get over anything I just want my money bk . She proceeded to be cruel and I busted out in tears and said enough is enough I'm getting a corporate number and I'm getting sumthing dun she was rude and I've never in my life been treated or talked to in that manner esp when I did nuthing wrong both of those employees were cruel to me and I dint know if I will ever shop with dollor store again but I want my money bk and sunthing dun about the way I was treated cause I had my receipt and she screwed up not me and I actually drove to the other dollie store in town crying and asked for a corporate number and could not get one no one knew ur number tgey did at least apologize but did not know a number for u and this is in Salem Indiana my name is Hope Trueblood

Dollar General Truck driver

The truck driver was driving on hwy 328 in between harriman, tn and oakdale, tn about hit my husband on the curves. The date is 8/16/23 and the time was after 3:00 pm in the afternoon. The driver came around the curves on my husband's side of the road and never even stopped! My husband had to slam his brakes on to keep the truck from running over the top of his truck. You need to quit putting your stores in the country on the back roads that are not made for semi trucks!

Desired outcome: you see how we feel about your stores in the rural country.
