I went to this store for the first time, and could not even walk or push a basket in there due to merchandise, carts, cut up boxes, and boxes in the floor, down each aisle. This is a hazard to customers, not to mention frustrating. I tripped over a box that was cut up on the floor. This is pitiful. The only employees I seen were in an office laughing. I...

Dollar General disrespectful employee

This employee by the the Steph, is the rudest and disrespectful person. Not only does she smoke while customers are waiting in line but has the nerve to smoke in front of the door. Smh, this store always is without products on shelves. Then when you ask can u open the boxes that box the isle she says. Uh do you work here? I took a picture of her smoking and my granddaughter said Nana that lady is rude she is smoking when she should be working.

Dollar General condition of the store

On 9/20/19 I was shopping at the Dollar General in Northampton PA. I have never seen a store in such horrible condition. The store floors were filthy, there were carts wtih product on them in every single isle and the shelves were empty. When I approached one of the employees they indicated that they don't have enough help to stock the shelves. This store should be condemed by the FDA. It should not be open to the public. Someone is going to trip over all the stuff that was on the store floor. The only section of the store that was shoppable was the Vendor stocked Potatoe chip section .

Dollar general no longer should hire people with bad attitude problems @ that location, the young lady with the tattoo on her arm, who wears a ponytail&braids. The location is close to my job so I shop there daily. And she always in a very foul rude mood. Please take the matter up with the employee. She should always treat people how she would wanted to be...

Dollar General items never stocked

I'm tired of going to buy items that are on sale and nothing is ever stocked. I always check product availability before going and it will tell me it's in stock, get there and nothing! I even check while standing in front of whatever I'm looking for and in stock means it's not there until the day after the sale is over and it magically appears. Not to mention rude manager who makes up rules and won't honor sale prices.

Dollar General inept, rude cashier/manager: fire her now

Items rang up wrong. She would not adjust. Said I was being rude for wanting the correct price, which was posted on the sign. This was at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 15. She should be fired and I should be compensated for this upsetting retail experience. Meanwhile, her low-life friend said she's had enough of my mouth. I said, "This is great: I'm rude because I want the correct price!" Skanks should not be allowed to loiter and distract the already unqualified cashier, then be rude to customers. RSVP

Dollar General workers

I went to store #14617 at 8:00 pm and all the good you put outside was all ready in the store blocking all the isle where I could not even get down the Isle that I wanted items from. I know the workers has to bring them in at night however it should not be as early as it was. If it was there at 8:00 pm all ready how much earlier was it actually put in the store blocking the isles. The weather was clear and sunny all this day so it is not due to the rain. The store is not kept up clean as other Dollar General Stores. Thank You and I hope this problem can be resolved.

Look I spend a small fortune at this store monthly. Someone that knows how a business needs to operate needs to address many problems with this store. Many times I go there several of the employees are just standing around and talking when many of the shelves are unstocked. One of the coolers up front for drinks has been out of service for months. Now the...

The oakdale california location is disgustingly dirty, cluttered, and unorganized. The employees are either rude or untrained. The manager doesnt care. There can be 8 people in line and one checker. The manager will just walk on by and never offer to help. There is so much unstocked inventory that you cannot walk down the isles. Ive tried about once a month...

And said what you wanna do . Like he wanted to fight me and my kids. He act like he is racist. I will never step foot at that Dollar general again.

The manager of this particular Dollar General Store is a racist. She berates the black employees in front of customers and if the customers complain about it, she blames said black employees. She is driving business away from this store, and I'm not sure how many complaints it will take for the corporate office to do something about it. I have NEVER in my...

Dollar General the store is dirty and cluttered and no carts are available.

This store is very dirty, cluttered, and the isles are impossible to pass through because stuff is all over the floor. The shelves are almost empty in some areas. No carts are available. I had to walk outside and clear around the store to the back in order to find a cart. When I asked who the manager of the store was, the women said "I am, do you have a problem?" She said it in a disgusted and almost threatening tone of voice so I didn't engage her. I won't go back. People are constantly complaining that there is never a checker or they have to stand in line forever. I hope something can be done because treating customers like this will run the business off.

I live in small town in Illinios have been to at least a dozen different stores in different towns. less than a handful are always neat and well stocked. I think it comes down to management. There is definitely a staffing problem. They expect staff to run back and forth between stocking and cashiering. If the manager is a good manager, they are able to retain a good team. It also comes down to type of district manager in any location. the problems start at corporate level, they want the most out of the lowest paid employees on the floor. Not enough room for amount of stock sent to some smaller locations.

That seems to be the biggest complaint about Dollar general, isles full of carts with the mdse and nothing put on the shelves. This company needs to take some lessons on organization of there stores and train there employees . Hold them accountable for there actions. It could be a great little store if there employees were friendly and you had mdse to buy

The name tag says ALE. She insisted on Teaching me (a very Midwestern accented woman from Michigan) Spanish. I spent 20 min one day not being rung up because she insisted on teaching me Spanish. She even got other shoppers involved who also spoke Spanish. She Stares at me and follows me around the store. In fact that will most likely get worse as I am sure...

Dollar General management and non employees working

I once worked with the company. Enjoyed the customers for the most part. Worked with some great woman. Had issues with the night cashiers jobs that were put upon me. I had to go light duty so that helped some. Came to the point where I couldn't do my job as night cashier and offered mornings/mids on the days she had open. At that point she was no longer willing to work with me, she let me go. We went through a few employees during my time. The only constant with this store is that when the manager works, her boyfriend is there. He is either standing/following customers to see if stealing, hovering over the gate to registers when she is at them. Always jumping in guest conversations, directing wherever they might need to go. Helps with truck, recovery, hangs in stockroom when she's back there. I was just wondering if that was normal or does every employee get to have that benefit? Time and time again she has gotten away with it. We would get in trouble for not getting much done while she is getting her stuff done plus with help. Now, I was told to go to another store and shop. I gave her a few days to get over it. And now they both ignore me and my husband. It isn't how a manager should be to a customer. Civil not rude.

I looked at them different times before this day and there was always a sign hanging up on the display stand stating they had a Rug Doctor Pro Spot Cleaner/Detailer for $24.99/24 hr. rental or $19.99/4 hr.rental...

Dollar General the store, rolltainers and the manager

Store 14211 kalida ohio. This manager is a very rude lady. When she talks with me she just laughs like I'm a joke. She always has a comment on how she is fully staffed like, she don't need any help. Ok, so answer me this. When I shopped there today, Rolltainers were at every endcap. It was very hard to get thru the aisle. Shelves were not recovered and low. So, miss manager. Stop talking down to me, talking to me like I'm a joke. You obviously do not have the staff that knows how to take care of your store. Your place looked no different than any other dollar general. Maybe if you gave me a position, your stock would be on the shelves instead of sitting in the boxes on Rolltainers. Lower your ego and stop acting like you are better than others.
