Yaileen was my cashier. Very rude. Threw me the money on the counter. I don't like to go in the morning because all the morning staff is rude. No professionalism. There's no manager or assistant for manager most of the time. Lexy the "manager" is hardly ever there.

7:10 PM on November 22 I went in to the Newton location Dollar General. I had the email showing the price of 4 6 packs of Mountain Dew and Pepsi products for $14. It said good for three days November 20 through the 22nd. Nowhere in the ad did it mention that it ends at 7 PM on Saturday the 22nd the manager at the Newton Dollar General store or should I say keyholder I wouldn't think she's a manager. Would not accept the email that I showed her. She told me the prices changed at seven and nowhere on there did it say that it changes at seven. This is very upsetting to me. It is a misrepresentation of an advertisement. I'm just thoroughly upset with this location because I regularly shop here. I'm talking three times a week but you know what that ends today😞

This happens regularly. I was overcharged 50 cent to a dollars more than what the item was supposed to be. That's how they rip people off. Most people don't bother looking at their receipts. Then DG makes it difficult to take it off. The nice cashier check the overcharged items and made it right for me but now I have to wait 3 days for it to come off my card. DG would have $6 dollars more than they should. This is wrong. I will avoid DG from now on. I don't like being ripped off!

Over a $16 dollar memory card you have lost all my business forever. I will never be back. The clerk sold me what she saw instead of what I asked for. There was a long string of receipts- I was not handed one, I took the last one in the chain and threw the rest in the trash to be nice since no one else had. It was bunched up in my hand when I got in the car. I opened it up at home, excited to get started, and it was the wrong product. Damn. I threw it back in the bag to exchange because the internet had said there were 5 of the correct item in stock. But when I get back, she does NOT have the right item, and will not take it back 10 minutes later. So I get home and find the crumpled receipt, toss it in the bag, and head to the other dollar general to get what I originally wanted (website says 2 in stock @ 2nd location). I'm now a little irritated at home. Much effort my lazy day is becoming but it's OK.
I get the the 2nd store. They also don't have it AND the receipt I took out of the store- the last in that line chain of trash all other customers had left and that the cashier DOESN'T EVEN HAND YOU) wasn't even my receipt, it was some coupon that comes off separately so you THINK you took your own receipt! Nonsense. I left that trash on the counter and left the parking lot of the yellow monster for the last time ever. Terrible customer service, terrible policies, terrible inventory, never again.

The store is very cluttered and they have a lot of homeless people loitering outside when it is dark, one guy had a full face mask on at night and I spoke to the older male cashier. He acted like that was okay when a lot of older people shop here, so this store will no longer get my business.

I had a friend give me a ride to the store known as "dg" or Dollar General to get a few necessities. (I can only very rarely and sparingly buy anything for myself not even underclothes or outerwear for that matter, since my funds are still currently not accessible to myself but very much accessible to the family that stole my Oxygen debit card among other things.) I have also had my Go2bank debit card stolen and used, and I can't personally get into my original Cash App account to use it though many many other people are apparently able to receive my money although I still can't. They've also hacked my cash app Bitcoin account and an array of other things).
I need more help with the problems than I care to really realize or mention because to fully realize that fact would also be to know that I am nothing to anyone I've ever known for any reason other than to steal from me and laugh right in my face as they use up everything I have or would have had. If they had even considered me to be of any type of value as a person or anything else, because I'm a great many things more than what they see and ridicule every single day. They don't realize that they are definitely disrespecting someone or something that will ultimately either help you or make you all a dead and burned out hull of a used to be possibly prosperous planet and people, but will probably just end up exactly what they are deserving of and everything they see me as.?.. Nothing.
Case in point, Raquel at dollar general is a terrible person and tried to publicly humiliate me for no reason apparently. What did she see that the cashier boy, Alejandro (Alex) did not identify me as? The difference between the two of them is simply the quality of a person and their eternally immortal soul (Alex) or the dirty disarray of the raquel thing evident in her every undetailed detail of ugliness in her very un-immortal soul, I'm very sure. One is good quality and one is not. You choose which one you think is right and righteous. ::shrug:: Either way I paid for my items I got at dollar general. With my sparse money from my non designer cheapest disposable looking "purse" that I believe is the reason for my persecution by that subpar person who should definitely not be able to work at dollar general or in the public.

Went to DG (Burbank, IL) today for 1 thing. And left with several. Chante was AMAZING. She was patient and kind to help me with my gift cards. She gave great customer service with everyone who approach her. Great energy. Thank you for working today. I will definitely stop at this DG for now on and hope Chantel will be there. I didn't get the same service from the one in Midlothian. Thank you!

When I originally went to the store I was charged for four packs of cigs but only received 3. When I questioned the price I was told cig prices went up. After purchasing cigs at another DG found out prices did not change. Went back to DG on Lake Ave, was told by manager that there is nothing she could do, call corporate. After 7 days of calling corporate and being assured I would receive a call back in 24hrs every time. After me finally getting ahold of the DM by calling a different store for his number. After talking to DM found out the store manager could have solved the problem easily but refused to do her job causing the issue to escalate. Also could have gave me # for DM which she refused to do. I WIll never go in this store again!

Dollar General on HWY 341 S. Hawkinsville is the address says this is a FedEx drop point. I entered the store with a package, told the cashier I was dropping off and they took my package and set it down with other packages behind the counter in front of the tobacco on the floor. I waited and waited for Apple to send me verification that my device was fixed. I contact Apple yesterday and they said they never received it. I stated I used the mailing label they provided. They asked if it was a store or drop box. I told them where and they said to contact them.
I then called the store. A gentleman asked me what it looked like. I told him rectangle box one the shape slides would come in wrapped in brown paper. He looked and couldn’t find it. I told him if my IPad didn’t show up we would have a problem. 5 minutes later he calls me back with his manager yapping in the back how she had my Ipad. They opened the box and threw the box away.
First of all the label had my return address and name on it. Secondly the iPad had 2 pages taped to it with my Name, Address, Phone, Email, Claim Number and my card info: I go up, get the iPad and I am locked out of it. I don’t know the pin which means they put a pin on it. The District Manager calls me and says it was a mistake and it was sitting in the box in the office on a shelf the entire time. I said which is it? The box was thrown away or you still had the box with all my info? I said, "Well I am locked out of it. Someone put a PIN number on it." She said no they didn’t. She had humor in her voice like this was entertaining as she was defending them and their actions. Then she said she would meet with me and pay For more postage. First off I can’t send it to Apple with a PIN number on it that is why it was totally reset.
So now here I sit, with my iPad I can not access, the District Manager is entertaining and relaying lies. If this doesn’t get fixed I am out of a $300 iPad that was for school and Dollar General doesn’t care. Their District Manager just called again saying they called the employee that I gave the box to to see if he put a pin on it but he hasn’t called back. She will be in the store Friday Morning if I want to meet her or have the police meet her. I have to bring my dad to the doctor so I won’t be able to be there which means she can keep blowing off the situation and continue to not take any responsibility for her store's actions and I am out of $300.

My name is Sharon **. I purchased a gift card Gold Razer at the Dollar General today. Put $40 on it. Today is November the 4th 2025. I gave it to a friend she called and said something was wrong with the card so I called them and I was told that they could have a technician to look into what was going on with my card because he kept coming up in violent and wasn't given the $40 so she told me if I would hold on for a minute she would get a technician that could help me and I said okay. So she said it was $5. She never told me that I was joining a membership so once I put my credit card on file they took out $48 for a membership that I did not know that I was signing up for. They said they'd give me my $5 back but they wouldn't give me my $48 back for one day I did not know I am sick. I just had spinal surgery. I have to have another surgery. I am on a fixed income.
All I wanted was to give my friend $40 so she could get food and I got her a gift card but the gift card was no good so as I proceed I didn't get any help from the technician for $5 and then I ended up getting $48 taken off my credit card that was for a bill. I have text someone that text me back telling me that he got my note about what happened. Okay but it's your card and I put my money on that card and I deserve to have my money and not invalid invalid card. Anyway he tried to get an attitude and told me he wasn't refunding me back my $48 and I just bought the card today. I did not know I was signing up for anything. I don't need to be signed up for nothing right now.
I'm barely taking care of myself but God will fight my battles for me. I don't have to worry about that if they want to steal from people and if that's how their business get down like that to trap people into something to get $48 and they're that petty then that's what they do because they will get it all back. I'm just putting this out there for people to know that do not get that card because they will not give you your money back. They said they're not like Apple but they are. Least Apple tell you upfront they're not going to refund you once you leave the store so you know these people here are trapping you into a membership and you're not even going to use it for what all you wanted. All I wanted to do is get my $48 on my card. They never gave me a link. He told me he'd give me a link. I never got a link to go on there to file a complaint.
Every time I ask the headman about it he gave me this bull crap about I signed up for a membership. He was not refunding it. I'll text him for almost four times. The same thing. But you know what I'm not going to waste my time anymore because if they have to go to that route to trap people into getting their money then they're sorry their business will not prosper. God will put his hands on that business and tear it down because when you hurt his chosen people his Christian people that really love him we're not perfect no we're not but there are most definitely not perfect there are shysters and they are fraughtless. They do not tell you upfront and then act like they do but they don't. Even the chat people that you have to talk to do not tell you about if you give the $5 if you put it on your credit card you will be signing up for membership. They didn't even tell me.
The only way I found out is when I went back and to find out what was going on and that's when I found out I was in a membership of 48 dollars. They never told me. I would have checked my card to pay my bills and I am. God Will Make A Way and he will surely fight my battles for this company that is texter and I tell anyone do not get a card from them. They not only took the $48 from me. They took $40 for me on the gift card that I purchased today as well and did not give it back so they taking $88 for me. Almost $100 in one day and I said I wouldn't give their names to anyone out there.
Please do not buy this gift card. It is fruitless because they trapped you in something that you can't get out of and they will take your money and not give it back. Please I am telling the truth. God only knows I am I am sitting here in pain. I don't need to be up this late but I am very upset because the way they did me and still have not given me about $40 back off my gift card and again the gift card is Gold Razer. Do not purchase it. If the card does not work they will trap you and it making you think they're going to help you get your money and trap you into a membership and when I give it back this is what they did to me today!!!!

Prices displayed differ from prices charged when checking out. Coupons don’t get applied as they should, especially if a product is a bonus buy or such. More concerning is management. My experience in Urbana, Ohio was terrible. Items did not ring up correctly and coupons were not applied. Cashier was nice enough but didn’t know how to fix it. She ask if I could wait on the manager. She arrived and from the start was rude. When I tried to speak to her about my concern she got hostile and very loud all while sipping on an iced coffee. She had no interest in hearing anyone besides herself. I opted to return my items and go elsewhere.
When the cashier returned the items the total she refunded me was more than I paid. I told he, "That’s not correct. You are giving me too much back." So she again got the manager. The manager again yelled at me and said “WE CAN’T MAKE A MISTAKE! We just scan the receipt!” I said I paid less than what you are giving me. She again repeated herself. I offered to leave my information so she could speak to someone above her who knew how to fix it. She said NO! THERE IS NO WAY FOR US TO MAKE A MISTAKE!
With that I left the store. I did call corporate as my concern is the extra they refunded me will come out of the cashiers pocket, when she was not responsible. The manager refused to acknowledge there was a problem. Attached you will see a photo of the purchase price and the refunded amount. There is a definite lack of training and customer service, in the store is non existent. I don’t know if they are just having problems finding employees who can effectively do the job or if this is a lack of training and adequate pay to get individual who take the job seriously. I did speak to corporate and the lady on the phone was very professional.

Stop to get hand towels. Marked $3.00. Register rang up $5.75. Showed cashier how they were marked. She called manager on speaker phone. Manager sounded she could care a less. Refuse to pay $2.75 more per item at register. Mark items as they are. That is false advertisement. 1 item wrong spot....I get it. 6 in wrong spot. That is just misleading.

I want to say they're a very nice and respectful and everything. I've never had a problem really ever, he was not being disrespectful but he's supposedly was doing his job due to corporate. I understand everybody closes at 10:00 but if I'm in the store and I'm literally just got off of work, yes Granite I had a few minutes to get in there and get what I needed but you just don't give somebody 59 seconds when it turns 10:00, you guys store close at 10:00 at store number 24169 and Fort Wayne Indiana at 3201 Saint Joe Center Road Ben and dragon which was cool. They're very nice but he said, Oh well, I got to hurry you u,p you got 59 seconds to get out of here, cause corporate is getting on us because we close at 10:00."
"I understand you close at 10:00 but every store that closes at 10:00, okay Granite they give them like at least 5-10 minutes. They don't give him 59 seconds." What you guys are doing to these employees and making them do their customers is not freaking cool or was it. **, the one that told me I have 59 seconds to get out of there and I needed some allergy medicine for my kids and I couldn't even get it either, it was his doings and he lied to me or it's corporate and I find that's wrong.
If you guys get your employees in trouble for that, okay. I just got off of work. I tried to hurry as fast as I can and I still didn't get everything I needed for my child okay but that's cool you know because I will make sure I go to a different store for now on what you just made me feel like I've been there. You guys can keep your products and everything else and whatever, I don't need it. I will go somewhere else. I will go to Family Dollar probably for now on that was totally uncalled for rude and disrespectful. At least when I go to Family Dollar and they close at 10:00, they don't give me 59 seconds to get out the door and your times must be off because on my phone it states 10:01 when I walked out your store but that's cool, y'all can keep your stuff.

DGS employees need to be required to attend customer service workshops on a regular basis. A few months ago I caught an employee telling a customer that the coupon they were trying to use was expired. I was fixing to use the same coupon and knew it was still in date so I brought it to her (Katlyn) attention. Ever since she has been extremely rude to me. She has even taken my receipt with the upcoming coupon attached, wad it up in her hand and while looking me in the eye throw it in the trash. She'll laugh and kid around with other customers, including my husband, but her attitude towards me is unacceptable. I dealt with customers most of my working life and no matter how you feel about a particular person you still paste a smile on your face and do your job.

I was looking for a specific type of bin in the Middletown, CT store. I could not find them, primarily because entire aisles were blocked and even ends of aisles had shopping carts with merchandise blocking the end of the aisle and part of the main aisle. This seems like a fire code violation to me. (I may check with the local fire marshal.) Both employees I spoke with said they had to be with other bins. They are not in that place in other Dollar General stores, and there was no place on the shelf for them where the othere bins were. All items on the shelf were a higher price range.
The employees both said, "Someone must have bought them." However, neither knew where they might be located. It was a very common item in all Dollar General stores. The last time I was in this store. The store was open, but when I entered I was told I had to leave. The employee said that the manager said to close because he was the only employee there. I will not return to this store. Needless to say, I bought nothing in this store today.

This Obion, TN store is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The merchandise is everywhere creating a trip and fall hazard. You have a young assistant manager, dark hair, slender build, who is absolutely miserable. I have been in there three times since the middle of August to now and she's absolutely miserable. She doesn't smile, she doesn't greet you, and this is completely inappropriate for sales. She was observed stocking your shelves and throwing 50% off price tags on shelves (pics attached: taken moments are merchandise moved) where three customers, me and two others, were shopping. When we checked out, none of the stuff that we bought, that was labeled 50% off, was correct. The mislabeling was not honored. (See, we're not a rich community out here. We depend on accurate pricing, safety while shopping, and a smile wouldnt hurt.)
Have an enlightened.
