Dollar General Store on Gallatin Pike, in Madison TN is closed during store hours. We have pulled into the DG parking lot many times to shop, only to find the doors locked. I understand emergencies, or cleaning, or some sort of cash register malfunctions; however this does not seem to be the issue. At 4:45 this evening, Sept.22nd, the doors were locked...

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 was told on September 1 that HR had received a complaint about me. The district manager and the one training her asked me about it. 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. Alway dirty and the employees really need a class in how to treat their customers and stop being so rude! I have stopped shopping there not worth the troubles I received! You really need to look into these stores, or they will start going under they are the worse...

Dollar General Services

Your Store located in Terra Alta wv, is a joke, I am a council member that lives in the area, and goes to the store frequently, and I went their yesterday and today.

Yesterday the only one I saw working on helping others and customers, was a manager Carrie, and she was the only one that was on the phone, helping a customer and working on the register, and I was there today to buy something and the person named logan walked away from me and I had an item to purchase and the manager Rhonda was there and did not do anything or say anything to the cashier so i set my item down Carrie who appologized and said something was wrote up, and I just said thats ok, I will go to another store and i left but for the lady carrie to get wrote up and for them the cashier and manager I who represent the town hear alot and look over alot but there is no wonder why you dont and cant keep employees, the manager rhonda goes on vacation more than any employee i know the others are part time and working full time hours and i will have a copy of this and feel that someone needs to look into this. and I know your down to only 4 employees and some of them are about to leave this is something that I would want to understand and be attentive on so hope someone does something

Desired outcome: treat your employees better

I went to the Dollar General on Selma St. in Dothan, Al. and ask if I could exchange Always discreet boutique adult pull ups for the equivalent Comfort brand. A white female employee explained to a black cashier that it was no problem and how to do it even though I did not have a receipt. After going and getting the Comfort brand and the white employee...

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. He then proceeded to tell my 5 year old that it was from a little boy (just like him) that donated his body to science. He could tell that we’re weren’t happy with him, and in the way out the door he told us that “I...

The employees were very unprofessional, they were yelling and speaking very loud. There is an employee there who brought her baby to work and sat him on the counter as she sat around and did nothing. I also witness workers putting things on the shelves where there not suppose to be, making the price be different when customers get to check out. ere cursing...

Dollar General Job

I’m a current employee of the company, along with my fiancé. We were hired together, under the same address, and the DM and SM knew we were together and told us that was fine, as long as it didn’t interfere with our work ethic and focus, or any fornication didnt occur on store property. We followed these guidelines properly, and handled all tasks very well. We have recieved countless complements from customers and coworkers on our ability to remain professional, assist customers, and complete tasks. When we were hired the store was a complete mess, and now it has improved greatly, which has also been verbally announced by multiple customers. Once the store was sorted and cleaned up and our customers began returning at a rate that was extremely impressive, we have been told that our jobs may be under threat. As of now we feel as though we have been mislead by our employers, and used in order to get the store functioning properly. This is a huge disappointment as we love our store and our jobs there, and give all the effort possible every time we work.

Desired outcome: I’d like to be given reassurance that we have not been mislead by our employers and they have made a mistake, and that we may continue to keep our store running as smoothly as possible and our customers satisfied with their service

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!
