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.

My store in Terry, Ms claims not to have any air and they have changed their hours because of it. I don't understand how a multi-Million dollar company can not get the air fixed in one of their stores. The new hours are very inconvenient especially when I get off work and would like to stop and pick up something and they are closed. This store has the most...

The manager, Paula, at the Dollar General in Minier, IL, angrily berates employees in front of customers which is highly unprofessional and makes us customers feel ill at ease. We wonder if we should speak up in defense of the hard-working employees who do not deserve such treatment, at least, from our standpojnt. One employee is special needs, and works a...

Dollar General Clover valley kosher dill pickles gallon size

These are the worst pickles I have ever had. I love to drink pickle juice also, but it's a no go with these. I checked the expiration date and they are suppose to be good for another 2 years. If they are this bad now, I hate to know what they were like if somebody didn't purchase until closer to expiration. These things are rancid, not to mention that I paid more for these than I would a name brand at any other store. I just happen to live close to DG and really wanted pickles. I thought surely you Can't mess pickles up, and went for the big jug! Boy, was I wrong! Such a disappointment.

Desired outcome: I would like my money back, or at least a good jar of pickles in its place. I spent almost $8 on these gross pickles.

Yes I was in motion but they should have had something visible to see they just had a basket cart in the pothole they should have had a big barrel maybe orange or yellow I couldn't even see the grocery basket in the pothole because it was so small I couldn't even see it in my rear view mirror or side mirrors

There seems to be a lack of leadership at the White Lake N.Y. store. They are always out of stock with a lot of merchandise. When confronted they blame it on the delivery trucks. I personally waited until after their delivery by 2 days, and there were boxes stacked all over the store. When I asked the woman about it, she very nastily said grab a box and do...

As a customer at the dollar store in Shelburh Indiana and a person who has also has a lot of experience working retail I've noticed a few things. 1. There are usually several stock carts piled high all around the store that I've had to move in order to get to the products that I needed. 2. There are displays blocking shelves, product and isles which have to...

Dollar General Aisles are plugged.

I was so happy when the Dollar General was built about 3 miles away.. I have to say I am completely disappointed with it. You can never get what you need because the shelves are always empty and they have those big carts loaded with merchandise to be put on the shelves. Today, again I went down and got 3 items out of 4. Honestly, you can't get at the shelves because they are blocked. There were quite a few customers there a little after 3 o, clock today 7/25/23, and all complaining about you can't ever get what you want. And the aisles are so full of unpacked items that customers had a hard time getting around. A Dollar General spokesman that represents Boyle County Kentucky needs to drop in on the Parksville, Ky Dollar General. Something has to be done if, in my opinion, they want to stay open.

Dollar General Heartland farms seafood medley cat food

We on the regular go to the dollar store to buy things but buying cat food has never been a problem till now. We bought this food thinking it would be safe for our cats. Then not long after we have fed them it they have been throwing up every time they eat. If this product really makes my cats I’ll and there’s a huge vet bill I will be more than livid. After doing research I’ve seen there is another complaint about this food with mold! I haven’t see mold in the food but the food shouldn’t be molding a week after purchase. Not only that but the brand has had several recalls in the past. I’ve never had this big of a problem with the dollar store but now I do.

Dollar General contacting health dept. f you don't respond to this

On Sat. 7/22, I went to my local Dollar General in Hilliard, FL. As I walked in, the guy going in right behind me was was barefoot and the feet were dirty. I told the girl at the register he was barefoot and she said OK!, so I thought she would tell him to leave. However, after I finished shopping on was on line to check out, the dirty barefoot guy got on line behind me. I took a photo of it and attached it below. If I get no response to this email, I will be sending everything to Nassau County Health Dept, and I'd think they'd have something to say to you about it. There should be a sign saying shoes are required, like many stores have - NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE,

Desired outcome: I also want an apology that the store allowed him to keep shopping, and served him at the checkout, as well as some assurances that I'll never have see a disgusting thing like this again in your Hilliard, FL store.

"Karen" much? No one forced you to continue looking at his feet. Did you ask permission or just start snapping pictures? Either way, YATA. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of the Nassau County Health Department when they receive this complaint. If anyone is deserving of an apology, it is him.

Dollar General Hamburger buns

I bought a pack of Clover Valley hamburger buns on 07/19/2023, with the best if used by JUL [protected]:45 3, and these buns are so horrible. Stale, tops crumbling off, kinda stiff and aren't worth sh&*! I purchased them from a dollar general in mayfield ky, Hwy 303 to be exact...just when I thought that clover valley may be almost equivalent to other name brands they go and put out some crap like this, low quality and most definitely overpriced for the product period! Shame on you~

Desired outcome: I would like my money back
