You can never get through the isles they are always blocked, the shelves are always messy and understocked. The long lines with only 2 registers, usually only one being ran, causes such a long wait time. The cashiers are very rude and never seem to want to help fix the problems. Walking in or around you can barely get around in that store, everyone is on...

This purchase was on 07.14.19, receipt # 899626172142839816310920919919918015221161. Today, 07.17.19 @ 11:20 am I tried to return the twin pack refills and explained to the manager who said I...

Every time I go into this location there are boxes piled in the aisles even blocking them at times. Boxes even block the fire exits. Nothing is ever stocked on the shelves yet the employees are standing around. You have to find an employee to be able to purchase anything and they are usually outside smoking and flirting with men they have come visit them...

Dollar General rude customer service

I was i n the Dollar General store on Governor's Drive, near I565 Huntsville, AL . I work near and decided that the cheapest way for me to eat lunch every day is to go there. I went in and got my snacks and went to the counter. After waiting a few minutes(have no idea what the cashier was doing), I realized I left my wallet in my car. So I left the items on the counter and went to my car. As I left the store I heard "Don't come back" This happened on July 16, 2019, at about 11:20 am. I went to go back in the store and she would not let me back in. I did nothing wrong and she is right about one thing. I am not coming back not until I hear back and know somebody above her has heard my complaint. She has no business working in customer service. I did nothing wrong. You may contact me [protected]@gmail.com. I will never buy anything at one of your stores until I know my complaint has been heard.

I visited this location a few weeks ago and the manager was so rude. She was hateful to her employees and to the customers. There were also vendors in the store that day making their deliveries and she was the exact same with them. She needs to realize that without customers coming into her store and vendors delivering products she would not even have a...

I bought lightbulbs. She told me the total was $12.99. I gave her $20. She gave me $3.01 in change as she said $7.01. She did not offer my receipt. She stole $5.00 from me. I didn't realize she stole from me until I got home. It's not worth going back, but you should watch out for her. It happened about 5:15 pm 07/15/2019. 103 Bulldog Blvd, Borger Texas, 79007

Dollar General customer service and behavior

I have been in this Dollar General many times and every single time the service is worse.
1. Every employee was sitting outside, not even a single greeting.
2.I was in the store 10 minutes before anyone even came in and of course they went back out.
3. I had to stand and wait at the check out for someone to come in.
4. Kids behind the register and all over the store, kid belong to an employee!
IM NEVER GOING BACK TO DOLLAR GENERAL AGAIN UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED

This item was sitting in $5.00 slot but when rang up was $8.50. This happens to me alot. Very aggravated. Is this new thing of getting customers to buy? No happy at all. Why must a customer have to pay for the mistake? The item wasn't like throwed in there, it was sitting upright to the front. I would understand if the item was deliberately throwed in that place but it was there neatly.

The clerk was talking on her cell phone while ringing up the purchases of the customer in front of me. Then she continued to talk on the phone when ringing up my purchases. Also, she did not tell me how much my purchases cost. When I told her I had to guess she became angry, slapped the receipt onto the counter and pointed at it. She also wiped her nose...

I purchased the 16 count blueberry and strawberry pop tarts at the dollar general on noble ave in williston, fl. I opened a package only to find it burnt and what looks like mold. There were several like this. I am not sure what is wrong with them but for safety reasons I refused to allow my children to eat them.

Your Manager at that store #10403 is very unprofessional with customer service, She has an attitude all the time and I do know how Managers should be Because I was a Manager for 3 Stores or Pizza Huts In Nashville, Tn. Customers Always come first & Professional Managers always Greets there Customers With a Good Attitude and not act like Customers are a bother.

Dollar General service

I am a paying customer that spends 100's of dollars a month at the dollar General in Hatfield ( Richland) indiana and the people working there do not believe in keeping the store clean, they will have a conversation with other workers wile customers are waiting to get checked out, and if any thing is said they will be VERY RUDE and tell you that the problem is not their fault, they are the best dg stores have ever had. In my opinion the crack heads that worked their before showed a he'll of a lot more work ethic than the fat slobs that won't do anything . As far as I'm concerned dg will never see Anouther penny of mine, at least not the one in Hatfield Indiana.

Dollar General manager complaint

I went to the store on Oxford school road at the intersection of hwy 70 right outside the town of Catawba, NC...I was with the elderly lady that I work for as her caretaker. I went to where the manager was asked for padlocks...I picked up a 2 pack and went back across the store to my employer, I guess I laid the locks down when I felt the soft pillows and didn't think anything else about it. The manager then waddled up and asked if I changed my mind about the locks and I said yes, but, I was in a car accident that gave me a brain injury and my recent memory doesn't exist. I told her I didn't remember where I layed them down at and she screamed out that she would check the cameras and see where the locks were. I offered for her to check my purse and she gave me a dirty look and waddled into the back of the store. The manager then screamed from the back of the store to the cashier to let her know when the police officer got there. I also witnessed her having a young teenage girl and a small child helping her put out merchandise and the baby running around unsupervised drawing on the tile floor with a sharpey marker, a young child isn't supposed to be working in the store without being old enough to be employed there and her and the baby running around in and out of the store back room. I don't appreciate her accusing me of stealing and screaming out in front of numerous customers. I am a very Christian woman and was with my employer and was very embarrassed by this. The manner she treated me was very uncalled for and I DONT STEAL...EVER, EVER. I want you to know that I was the store manager at Family Dollar and I have encountered many shoplifting insidents but this most definitely was not one of them. I will never step foot into that dollar general as long as this manager works there, she was very rude and judgmental and I would have lost my job for treating a customer this way without justification. I know that I didn't do anything wrong but she screamed at me and about me in front of my friends and neighbors in my small community...I was appalled! I have considered calling my attorney to get advice about bringing a law suite against her AND the store if need be, for being wrongly accused in front of my peers, and my employer.

Dollar General no plastic bags to carry products

I went to the store at 1192 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, NY & was told they had no p!attic bags to carry out products of any size. Subsequently others costumers were also informed of the issue. Some wa!ked out I asked them why they haven't order bags they stated that they informed the manager Brandy William who is the only person allowed to order anything & apparently she hasn't done so in quite a few days. We shouldn't have to buy bags to carry out products. Most costumers are walking out & complain.

Dollar General clover valley 8 ct. hamburger buns

Today (July 3rd) I bought 2 pks. Of clover valley hamburger buns, my son pointed at my burger and I looked, there was a blue bristle that had been cooked into the bottom of my bun. I have pics. Of the bag in case you need to do a recall and pics. Of it in my bun and on my plate. I'm glad my son seen it or it might have scratched my throat if I didn't feel it, I had bacon on my burger so I might would have thought it was bacon. I tried this one time and it wouldn't let me do through my fb account so u hope it goes through.
