cleanliness and organization of store is awful
The outside of the store in Sharon Tn looks as though it's one of the last stores standing after Armageddon, the manager sits in her car leaving the store fully unattended to smoke all day, the other employees have no clue most of the time where anything in the store is and act as though they themselves are lost as Easter eggs, the store inside is completely horrid, it needs some major attention it's pathetic the grounds outside look horrible trash everywhere nothing is picked up rarely ever mowed it's ridiculous
cigarettes
Bought two packs of Misty Blue 120 today. Got to my car and noticed the cashier had placed the menthol instead of Blue in my bag. Went back in and told the cashier that I needed to exchange them for blue . She said she couldn't exchange them. Showed her the receipt, she still refused to exchange them. Talked to the store manager and she refused also.
I am a frequent shopper at Dollar General and feel I was treated wrongly. I would be afraid to shop anymore at a store that doesn't allow exchanges .
General Dollar is a poor place to shop. One has to look closely at the dates on any food products bought there. Sometimes the dates are expired.
condition of stores
Dollar General has always been my "go-to" store, but I actually left my partially-filled basket and walked out today. The three stores near me leave boxes and carts for stocking in the aisles, but they don't stock, and you can no longer even push your cart down a single aisle because they are almost totally blocked. Two other customers walked out with me today. This applies to the newer store on East Berry St., and the two stores on Mansfield Highway in Fort Worth, TX. You're losing customers because of this, and even though I've always been one of your most faithful customers, today was the last straw. I'll be going elsewhere in the future.
receipt
I purchased 18 bottles of zero lemon lime Gatorade from the above store. I buy all Gatorade from your stores as your company offers the Gatorade sports codes. I travel 20 to 25 miles each way to 3 of your stores not only for the above reason but your stores most always have the product. When I received my receipt I couldn't read anything printed on it. I...
Read full review of Dollar Generalthe store is a mess, the floors are dirty. no carriages
I use this store at least once a week. It is the dirtiest store, the supplies are left in the ailses in the carriages, so the shoppers have no carriage. The floors look like they have never been washed.
I am sure you need to make a visit to this store and see that someone is not doing their job. If the state comes in I am sure they will close the store.
store policy
I visited Dollar General on 08/16/2019 around 6:00p.m. and I purchased a few items along with a alochic beverage, I'm very well aware of the photo i.d.policy, however I was behoove when the cashier Ryan asked me for my I.D. when the Caucasian lady before me bought cigarettes as well as alchol and he did not I.D. her, although he did ask her for her...

I visited this Dollar General today. I shopped for 40 minutes in the store. When I went to checkout the line was extremely long and only one cashier was waiting on people in line. I had a $5 coupon to use on my order. When I got to the register to use my coupon the cashier could not scan it and an older gray-haired lady with a long ponytail tried to help...

To Dollar Store Corporate Management, The outside perimeter of this store is in extremely poor condition as it relates to the parking lot, overall maintenance around the building, landscaping, overgrown grass, untrimmed shrubbery along with paper trash and debris. The property is totally unkept and a poor reflection upon both Pineview and Madden Hill...

The man checking every one out was rude (cursing) he was also loudly putting dg down by sayinghe tells people as they enter the store things like "welcome to dg where nothing checks out right and sales may be real etc..." he made fun of me while the manager (I guess the guy was who finally came up to unlock the register and explain that the sale included...
Read full review of Dollar Generaldigital coupons
I had tried to use $2 off gain digit coupon twice for gain fireworks scent boosters and it didnt subtract from my total.. I ended up having to buy them 4 times! Twice at full price, then twice it finally used the digit coupons..
The two times the coupons didn't work, the managers said they couldn't do anything about it and to contact corporate about it..
dirty messy store
The parking lot and entrance to this store is filthy... trash on the ground always. Paper, cups, etc. I've never once seen it clean. In the store it's hard to move around. There are always bins in the way that need unpacking. At times I have to move heavy bins to get what I need. Hire more people in these stores and maybe the employees can do a better...

Read full review of Dollar Generalno one at register
I was at your store on victory dr. I was at the register for a couple of minutes. I'm not complaining about that, it's just the cashier said that I should have rung a bell which I did not know. I've been to a lot of dollar generals, I've even worked at one a couple of years ago. I've never heard someone having to ring a bell.I thought that the cashier is supposed to keep an eye on the register and always be in the view of the register. She acted like it was my fault that I didnt know, at other Dollar Generals you dont have to ring a bell.
company policy
I am a senior that rides a bus and frequents your stores. The cigarette policy of requiring even elderly to show ID is ridiculous. I was embarrassed and ridiculed the other day when I forgot my ID. Because it would have meant going home and taking a bus back again. I simply did not have the strength to do so. I had to ask someone else to buy them for me. Shame on your unfair policies. I will never shop your stores again.
Read full review of Dollar General and 1 commentparking lot lighting
I live in Topeka KS and shop at the location on 10th St.
The management has made the choice to have ALL lights out in the parking lot. I should not have to tell you but the parking lot is very very dark. Dollar General has made the decision that saving electricity dollars is more important than customer safety. A person can fall, be robbed, get hit by a car, etc., etc. Your corporation will be responsible when there is a situation, as you should be. Corporate greed is disgusting and endangering customers for the almighty dollar is a shameful act. You deserve every lawsuit that will come from this.
staff
Ok, I want complain for my mom in-law. She has to much heart to tell anyone what went on in DOLLAR GENERAL A1A, Cresent Beach. I went up yesterday to apply the onsite hiring interview. So, it was not to surprising, The manager was working on register and boyfriend was hovering over the gate, He is up there more than he should...overnights, anytime no new management. Recovery, security interacts with customers.Not sure why hes not on payroll..
As for the main issue .The reason I decided not to go in...My Mom in-law said she was leaving for health reasons but could work a few hours a week...Reply was noone is going to tell her where or when they can work anymore and Shop at different dg or shes going to tresspass her. She lives 2 minutes away from that store.
I do know one thing the way she puts them down, punishes them by their schedules.Her working as 2 people getting extra done when the rest of them struggle to keep up as one( they dont have boyfriend help)..Thank goodness my mom doesn't work there anymore.
abusive behavior by staff.
On Aug. 05, 11:30 AM, I was going to buy Keystone beer on sale for 6.95 for 15 pack. Went to register to pay and clerk informed me the store was not honoring POSTED sale price (Reg. Price 8.95).
I informed her that DG needed to honor posted sale despite her excuse her register was not deducting sale price. Also management had to honor sale and take down wrong posted price. She also mentioned that several customers complained to her and manger before me.
She was rude, unperceptive and had Manager to tell me buy the beer at regular price or stop shopping there. Very rude and insulting behaviors. I've shopped at DG since inception. I demand investigation and apology from Cashier and Manager along with disciplinary actions.
They cannot change beer prices on the register. As in the system does not allow price overriding beer, cigarettes, etc. Its not that they won't, they physically cannot do so.

Read full review of Dollar Generalnot getting a refund of double charge.
On July 1, 2019, I purchased two Lego sets and a few greeting cards. When I wrote a check for $32.08 the cashier had trouble running it through the register and the check kept getting jammed. Instead I used my debit card and she still had trouble with it. It finally worked, but the register would not print a receipt. I went ahead and left, thinking all was well...I got my bank statement in the mail today and found I was double charged for this amount. I went to the store and asked about it, Manager told me there was nothing she could do, as it was all handled at the Corporate Office. She gave me someone elses receipt after tearing part of it off and told me to do the survey to get my money back. I called the 1-877-463-1553 number and was referred to 1-800-678-9258, called this number and was told to call 1-615-855-4757. By this time their offices were closed and I left a message. If this was only for a couple of dollars I would just let it go, but $32.08 is more than I care to lose. My name is Gyla Jean Wills and my phone # is [protected] I would like to hear from you as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.
mistreatment by staff.
