It's Saturday and it's 5 & 10 dollar off day .....

It's Saturday and it's 5 & 10 dollar off day with the coupon depending how much you spend, so Saturdays are crazy busy. With that being said I expect the line at the register, what I don't expect is the fact the help takes turns leaving the register to go outside and smoke. So when this happens they go from 2 registers down to one, meaning if you need a gallon of milk or a 12 pack of beer you might get stuck behind some 80 year old lady doing a weeks worth of shopping to get her 5 and 10 dollars off. Which is no where near as bad as when she tries to pay with a credit or debit card and has no idea at all what she is doing, and pray she didn't forget something or thought the price of something they rang up was wrong. This is wrong the whole run out smoke come back in, then again another runs out smokes and runs back in, what ever happened to customer service???? Am sorry but there are 10 people on line your first concern shouldn't be if you got enough time to go out and smoke!!!!

The store manager was very rude

The store manager was very rude, not only to her employees but to customers as well. She acted like the customers were an inconvenience when asked for assistance with items on the upper shelves that weren’t easily reached. Her response was, you are just going to have to wait, I am busy and I am expected to do everything in store because I have lazy staff members. I felt awful for the two employees who were working with her not only that day but every time that I have been in that store. It is no surprise that I never see the same person twice, not as long as she is their boss. I will drive 20 minutes to the one farther away if I can just so I don’t have to deal with her. Her name is Marty and she works at store #7977.

Chaotic aisles

Chaotic aisles, overpricing throughout . I have visited Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and General. In the last two weeks. Massively inflated prices and a waste of my time.

I'm referring to store # 12133

I'm referring to store # 12133. I believe the store manager is named Stephanie. I have been in this store several times and not satisfied, one visit to the store looking an item and the person I asked went to her and she told the person she don't know. As a manager she should know her store. Another visit all the shopping carts with seats and backs were in the back room with I guess stock in them we were forced to use carts with the backs wide open. This visit there was a product on sale in the freezer but reaching in for the product they were smashed and damaged. I feel I pay a dear price for food these days and should not have to pay for damaged goods. So my advise avoid store #12133 on 441 in Ellisville.

Management and staff are very rude

Management and staff are very rude. Lazy and don't assist in anything. Always a dirty store and with expired food on shelves. Called corporate and they rewarded this employe for being rude and obnoxious. This has to be known by most customers as they are no different from one customer to the next . They hire undesirables and they are the worst I have experienced. This is not going in unnoticed as I and others know this establishment is , undesirable. . Galena Blvd. Aurora IL . Tameca is a Dog and rude.

Crappy app and no one answered phone

Dollar General app keeps cutting out.Tell me to log in multiple times cutting out coming back, cutting out coming back.And when I call nobody answers the phone and if this is how your company is going to be going, then you should not be in business anymore.I'm going to be making a report to the Better Business Bureau.If this keeps continuing, it's been happening for 3 years.Fix it or face the federal penalties

No one is managing the staff/stores

I am in agreement with many reviews. I have gone to multiple Dollar General Market in Lexington and Prosperity, SC locations. The staff need training in customer service. One cashier told me their express lanes could not be used because they had too much staff, but I almost always have to find the staff. Many times, I have had to resort to yelling out “is anyone here” to find someone after I walked each aisle to try to locate someone. Twice, someone would yell back at me from the office, never coming out of that office. Then, someone all of a sudden appears from the back. Dollar General Market has a good concept, and the potential for business is available at all locations I visit, but if it takes considerable time to find someone to find/buy an item, why have the business? A neighbor of mine told me they never found anyone and finally threw down their $5 bill on the cashier’s counter and walked out with the item and did not plan to return. I heard that there is a problem with theft. If that is true, I can see why. No one is watching the stores. You need managers that manage their people and the store and don’t sit in the office all day. You also need 2-3 people out in the store to assist customers and watch the store. Keep your express lanes open.

Did I mention there’s never anything in stock

Every single time I go in there they’re out of something more than they were the time I went in there before. Since the grocery store has left town, I am absolutely sick of the Dollar General and what they do not have to offer. There’s never anything in stock and did I mention that there is never anything in stock.?? Do better!

The local manager of Dollar general is…

The local manager of Dollar general is not only rude but he is very disrespectful to people with disabilities. Yes my husband had drinking problem 2 years ago. But he is fully recovered and has not touched a drop since. I am disabled and need help because of my legs. They tend to get weak and I could fall . Please let him back in the store

I made the mistake of ordering delivery…

I made the mistake of ordering delivery through Dollar General today. Do yourself a favor and avoid it at all costs. The delivery driver didn’t know where he was going, also he told me that something was not available so it wasn’t delivered. So I went to the store to see my unavailable item sitting at the counter. And when I tried to talk to the Dollar General employee about it she didn’t want to know a damn thing. She blamed DoorDash. I had no idea when I placed the delivery that it was coming through DoorDash. The DoorDash driver did not follow directions. I had to drive around my building and I found him outside wandering around after being given detailed directions. Now Dollar General is telling me that I didn’t actually pay for the item that wasn’t delivered but my bank account says differently. It’s the worst delivery experience I’ve ever had. Just don’t do it.

If I could give them a lower rating

If I could give them a lower rating, I would. Overpriced compared to other retail stores very misleading, rude employees, and they advertise 50% off then they don’t give you the 50% off, then they won’t make it right. Then you complained that the corporate office and never get a call back. That’s how much they care about their customers. Dollar General is a dollar short and a day late. Terrible place.

Worst store ever

Worst store ever. Rude staff. Approached Anna, for items advertised in store, was told items on website wont match what's in the store.
Asked about a price and was told to scan it myself on my phone. Not sure how to even do that. Are they going to pay my data rates, if they expect customers to use their phone for something we have no idea how to do it?
The salesperson seemed very inconvenienced when asked to help me. I almost just walked out. It seems stocking shelves comes above helping customers. Yet, they advertise family, friendly first.
Spent 47 dollars but I wont be back.
Not worth my time or money here.
She was more into stocking shelves than helping. She might has well not opened her door today. No wonder nobody else was here.
Not a way to treat the elderly or anyone for that matter. Shame on Dollar General.
