What You Need To Know Before Shopping At Dollar General Again 

dollar general.

@@coopersmith7182 hi

The store in Britol, VA on Euclid Ave worst store DG store I have ever been in

DG Saturdays 5 off 25..best deals ever

I love Dollar General. Especially doing my weekly pantry staples on Saturday. I use the digital coupons and the $5 off $25 purchase. I look forward each week to those savings.

That is exactly what the believe as well. DG is a scam

I agree with you

I agree with everything other than I think their quality is about as good any anywhere else.

Same with the store that's close to my house, the only thing they have is convince. It's either buy from them or drive 15 mins into town for walmart.

As a DG employee I can confirm

Wandah Whetstone It is, isn’t it.

Exactly. Same here. All we had was a Vons that was very expensive! When DG came in, I saved over $250 a month! NOT ONE DAMN THING WRONG WITH A STORE WHERE I CAN GET MORE FOR MY MONEY.

lol I do also, in every direction😂

Ditto

True but in my tiny lil town there is no Walmart no Safeway no fred Meyers. Its Ray's McKay and dollar general

-Travel the back roads across the USA of today, noting the 'no longer relevant' small towns, settlements of former sustenance, that are rapidly fading, decaying away into the passage of time. No Walgreens, no regular schedule 'open' food stores, no Walmarts, no Anything remains of business infrastructure. Conditions very reminiscent today, of what was formerly USSR, countless hundreds of thousands, millions, of abandoned, entire Villages. A Dollar General, with basic needs available at Any price, is akin to, and as cherished as the chain of former 'Trading Post' oasis, deep within the remote wastelands.. ;}

There ain't too many Walmarts. I live Sheridan Ohio close to South point Ohio and the nearest Walmart is almost 10 miles away. Sheridan has a dollar general which I buy things like grocery food at and South point has family Dollar that I buy some things at. They are both A LOT closer to my house than any Walmart.

what items??

Dollar Tree is way cheaper!!!

Me2 but Little Debbie is stale there. Packs of candy bars are stale too.

Sounds like u should start a vegetable garden

@@thekooterdestroyer8699 yes, then sell them. You'll make a fortune!!

Sounds like your Dollar General is the exception to the rule

15 miles? Your a lazy person, or you do not own a car.

Matt S , that was stupid.

Dollar general stores. Started with pink khaki pants that he sold for a dollar after buying it from a liquidation company so that's why I got the name Dollar general stores. if you buy anything for dollar in 2020 it's absolutely junk.

Maybe they should change the name to Generally A Dollar Store.

@@RandyFelts2121They changed it from the original brand name.

@@yodead369 So everything that is more costly at Dollar General comes from the elite, high end of China???

@@stoneridge3951 yes sir! Lmao. We China workers wear Suits and ties to work!

@white light no they do not. Wal-Mart jr in the making.

RAMONA-HOW TRUEE!!! DONT MAKE A BIT OF SENSE! PAYING LOW PAY WAGES, BUT RUNNING A BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS!! RICH😈KEEP GETTIN RICHER, WHILE THE POOR, STAY POOR!!!😡🤬

I have friend working there. WORSE than Mc D’s. They give you unreasonable tasks to do. But not enough time to do it. DG is too big for its britches!!

dollar tree does that too

The girls who work at our local dollar generals are overpaid and lazy as heck. If they arent smoking outside the door they are dancing to raunchy music in the aisles. Pretty gross.

I was on DG dedicated account...it whooped my ass

Props. I’ve noticed that at MANY location! Thank you!

Yeah and you forgot to mention that they hire any dude who comes in for an interview to be a DG truck driver. One time I had a truck driver deliver to the store I worked at and he was high on meth and brought his gf with him to help him unload. Y I K E S

I did it too, but for Family Dollar. I lost 27lbs

What.!!✊👊👏 What!!✊👊👏

I just go to the dollar general to get 50 or 100 iTunes and Xbox gift cards

I always did that, too

@Trey N For sure, I hate Walmart, I'm a Target girl.

Dollar Tree meets my SSI monthly budget! Thank God for Dollar Tree!!!

Me too. Slot of their health and beauty aides are decen as well

*Taget SeLLs same Tuna Fish Brand for 88cents/can!!!!* *ALso, I Get BeTTer Food at TarGet!!!*

Walmart took the mom and pop stores out because they buy from China and sell their crap for a huge profit. Walmart is CHINA CITY) and I hope they fold soon.

@@margeregan7497 --Originally, when Sam Walton was alive- Walmart Pushed American Made Goods-he kept many American Factories Alive and Making Money. His Children and Business Managers in Cohoots with Bill Clinton a Liberal Democrat who signed NAFTA into existence decided to use China and other Asian Countries-Build Cheap-Sell High and they continue to do this--Trump is Trying to Bring Industry Back to America and Kill NAFTA....

I can guarantee you that if Sam Walton was still alive he would fire all of his kids! He was firmly a made in U.S.A. guy!

@@garypollard9770 Dollar General does the same alot of their "$1" stuff is also from China, At least you can get through a Walmart most DG stores are so messy and boxes of unpacked merchandise all over the store you can't even get through to shop,but it will stay that way if they continue to treat their employees like crap and expect them to come in and put in very little to no hours for most employees at $7.25 and hour leaving 90% of the work for the management to do..They have been sued so many times for allowing people to work off the clock but act like they didn't know it was happening !!

Dont worry we wont.....

Just like how online shopping is doing "harm" . Nothing you can do. People will go where they want to go. Times have changed. Of course, on somethings not for the better.

They take advantage of employees who might not have the skills, transportation or other needs to find good employment somewhere else. They treat their employees like garbage. Everyone Deserves a job where they can maintain their Dignity.

@@Akinsh58 You do understand that no one is required to work there. I don't work for them and have no special love for Dollar General, but that's quite a hate list you have for them. Sounds to me like they employ people who really need a job. It's not a career - they can move on to better jobs.

@@ronniegreen3513 Of course I realize no one HAS to work there. Out of desperation, or lack of certain skill sets, lack of reliable transportation, etc..some may be Forced to work there for a specific space in time. Again, I believe, in my humble opinion that EVERYONE DESERVES to maintain their Dignity. Sometimes, that is ALL some people have left in life. It shouldn't be taken away just to survive. That can be modern day emotional slavery

Yeah that's a tough retail grocer to work for. Basically just two and rarely three employees to maintain the register, to stock merchandise, off load the trucks, and have to deal with customers constantly streaming in and out. Can burn out pretty quick.

And dg should not lay employee off of work just because there sick this is a major problem with alot of companies for decades it needs to change! BBB better business bureau!

This is the exact training i received and was eventualy fired(2 weeks) because, well, I'm a well rounded employee and that's not what merica is seeking in the laborforce these days.

And zero insurance costs for DG due to the turnover before you are able to get insurance.

Athena, you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!

Same here with me.

@Frank I’ve blood pressure issues that cause me to faint. Big scary dramatic drops. Which caused me to break my ankle in 2 places in January of this year. Arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic anemia and that’s just the tip of the iceberg

an opinion is given, take it as YOU wish.

This article is just to get clicks on RU-vid...

Reasons to say what I want to say DOLLAR GENERAL SUX . I LOVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT. DO YOU. I DO ME. STFU.

Latinos are discriminated at this stores

As for a reason? How about they don't pay their workers a living wage and expect long hours for crap pay, sometimes 50-60 hours a week? Or how they intentionally understaff their stores to save money which leaves the worker isolated at night and an easy target for robbers but still won't give a pay raise when they make 3.8 billion a year

Me too

Yes, good old Woolworth's! Loved that store

Meeeeee to

Amen !

Slave labor is what this sounds like. My sympathy to you. I pray you find a better job.

I quit QUIT after up to 13 years of being there, n it was WAS the best thing that I ever did!!! They don't care about thier employees and it shows... I could go on but I'm not.

discontinuing the smoked herring was the single most terrible choice this company has made.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

@Tony Brown its a money maker

Thank you for what you do and stay safe bro

Good job buddy!!!🤟🏻

@@Justin.Martyr Jesus Christ said things like "It's harder for a rich man to go to the kingdom of heaven than it is for a camel to go through an eye of a needle". When taxes on the highest earners is the highest like at 50% on whatever you make after $500,000 you notice you don't see people wanting to be famous, rich actors, singers, or pro athletes any less.

People are just assholes by nature

Kristin Jones : I Work And Live In Tampa ( Hillsborough County), Florida And I Shop Occasionally @ The DG ® Store Locations On East Hillsborough Avenue And North 56 the Street Near Temple Terrace. I Am Always Considerate Of The DG ® Employees. I Know You Work Hard And Get Very Little For It. I Do My Best.

Dollar general employees are morons.

Matt S No, we are not. Don’t shop at DG, if you think that. We work hard, to keep our customers happy. Some just think they’re god, when they’re not, everything we do for our store is to make our customers happy. Check yourself, man.

@@matts8547 hey they are human beings just like you are. Trying to make a living in this crazy world. So don't judge people. You are not GOD.

EXACTLY 💯 And he is not the only one that acts like that(that big wig) They screw over soooo many employees with pay amount and so very little hours expecting them to come in and get anything done They try starting every cashier out at $7.25 an hour and then put them on the schedule for a total of 8 hours to 12 hours a week !! By the time taxs come out of that they have no check. And people with families can't live on that..But upper management like Mr. Big wig gets good money, great raises, lots of vacation time and they never take a chance on going into work if there is bad weather with any amount of ice or snow...But by gosh your store better be open even if you have to work it ALONE ! AND now JEANS are what they are allowed to wear with company shirt and name tag....So much for his thought on the jeans ...And half the time the product you need or came in for is still setting in the back room in boxes were it sets for weeks at most stores. Unless it's the stores built in and around the corporate office or some special event is going to take place in a certain area then they will give v that store extra people to get it stocked and clean but after said event the store goes right back to messy again most managers don't care they are just there to get that pay check and go home or spends most their day outside smoking and talking so nothing gets done...You can almost be 100% sure that when you pull up to a DG SOMEONE is outside smoking blowing smoke right in your face as you walk in and 99% of the time it's management !

@@dovieperez6879 Wow! That blow my mind. No wonder I have noticed different people working at DG and I often wonder why, now I know. Thank you so much.

a commercial for Dollar General.

*IDIOT*

Lol!!! I really though these stores came out in the late 90's!! Really didn't start shopping at dollar general until mid 2000's been a customer every since! Lol

i watched it to

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😛😛😛 N i clicked here. That is funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 At work you made my day😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dollar stores are a good deal on some items. You just have to do your homework.

@@markg6860 true dollar stores like dollar tree are useful for some things....

I'll go to the dollar aisle and I get everything I need it's better than the Dollar Tree

Thats very true, higher than Walmart!

I agree

Remember Dolgens back in the 80's? DOLlar GENeral

I live in the home town of dollar General and that's what we call it. We refer to dollar General as the warehouse and dollar store as the store. Lol

Yes. This is a pet peeve of mine too. Also, I hear a lot of old timers call it general dollar. You mine as well call Walmart the dollar store too, because they’re way cheaper than dollar general.

Our local family dollar is a rip lol. We used to have a store called, the dollar store. However, they had things in there with price tags upwards of 70$ . Place was shit anyways, glad its gone.

I say dollar because for a long time we didn't have dollar tree. We don't have dollar express or the other one u mention. Out city always said dollar store. U had dollar general and family dollar. So that's where store store came from around my part of the world. I'm sane . and its just a name we called it. And u may call ur store what ever as well. Don't have to be rude about it. I might say tarot u might say potatoes.

*Why are you Cowards ALways Afraid to say where you Live???? Eugene!!!!*

it must have just opened wait till next 6 months

Same

Why call your self a handicapped,your are wonderful and fairly made 💖🙏

@@SisterselTV saying we are fairly made dosent cure blindness and make it easier for people with health problems. They say they are handicaped becuase they are!?!

@@SisterselTV Stfu. That's the dumbest shit ever. You can't fix something if you're not even aware something is wrong.

@@antichrist4449 thanks, maybe it doesn't cure naturally..but I am 100%sure it will spiritually and emotionally ..KIND WORDS..God bless you be safe 🙏❤

N better

DIDO!!!!!

Absolutely

Lol we have one two and its disqusting quality and everything but hey a dollar if your looking to die earlier I guess go to dollar tree

Because its all China!! Dummy. Lol

Yeah, like to see some produce added to our DG's out here in the country.

I would pay 4 dollars for a blind bag, My kids always get them when they go the dollar general. Probably not you, I'm pretty wealthy.

@Ocean Deyy Yup, Agreed

It’s not a Dollar General......it 3-5 dollar general......I never go to junk stores

Dollar general owns dollar tree now

monica walsh not true the investors own it.. look it up

there good for about a month and then they are fire trap

.....That's the managers failing ...ours is really clean .

They make too few employees stock, ring up costumers, Unload truck and the want us to mop, clean bathroom and clean shelves before we go home. Not enough time in the day to do all the crap they want, for very low wages, mostly minimum.

@@margaretbeard6564 so true!

I like the store. Who cares about the floor

@Tony Brown Really? Are you presuming to speak on behalf of the entire country of maybe just your little part of it? Here in my little part of the world, southwest Virginia, in the beginning, back in the '50s, there were stores like Eagle, Newberry's, Kresses, Murphy's, Western Auto, Mick or Mack and Kroger (grocery stores...*just* groceries)...lots more. And those were the "big-name" stores. Sure, lot's of "ma and pa" stores...everywhere. But then along came Hill's and Grant's and 7-11 and Hop-In and...some of those "ma and pa" places started vanishing. Other things vanished, too, you know, like guys who would actually pump gasoline,,,into your car. Nope, gone...because everyone loved self-service. Amazing, wasn't it? Fewer people to pay but...those damned prices just kept going up, didn't they? And then came...K-Mart. And everyone loved it. Everyone was so happy! And those other stores like Eagle and on and on? Yeah, they vanished. And then came...Walmart. And everyone was even happier. And most of those "local" stores? Poof. Gone. Just like that. Kroger still remains, of course but now? Oh, I can buy patio furniture there. Isn't that just swell? And now K-Mart is gone and all that is left standing is...Walmart. And now everyone hates Walmart and wants people to shop...at local stores, ma-and-pa stores? That's funny. What is even funnier is that it is yet another "new" generation that wants to "return to the good ol' days". Or this way: "I don't wanna work for a huge corporation. I wanna own my own business, dammit!" And now Walmart is competing against...online "shopping," you know, places like Amazon. So either you live in "the city" somewhere, where pretty much all you've ever known are "ma and pa" stores (and I am truly guessing at that 'cause I ain't never, and have no intentions of, stepping foot inside a "big city"), or you're just really young and have no memory of these things. But no, it is not "bullshit". It is the inevitable natural order of things meaning only that one day, yep, even "online shopping" will be a thing of the past. Tony, stay safe and be well.

I hate to say it, but mom and pop shops often act like they’re doing you a favor. Family run businesses suffer bad attitudes and unfair return policies that would never fly in a corporate setting.

@Tony Brown Trying to sound...what? You can't complete a sentence...but you want me to believe you can actually complete a train of thought, you know, something that would let you state, with such absolute certainty, your original comment: "Total bullshit". Well, since you prefer brevity: Thanks, but no. I ain't buyin' your bullshit.

It really depends on the mom and pop store. Some get complacent when they're the only game in town with dirty stores and low quality. If that happens then stores like Dollar General thrive. Where I live there's a DG, a Sav A Lot, and a larger locally owned grocery store. All serve their purpose.

@@lisettegarcia Because customers take advantage way to much. Mom and pop places dont put up with shit which is the way every business should be :)

5&dime was around when I was young dollar was good to have

I'll go down the dollar aisle and I get better stuff than the Dollar Tree

This is the only positive comment that I've read from an employee.

Good luck. Its controlled by stock holders! The more they shareholder pay in, the more money the company can spend..

Cheapest as# company i ever worked for in all 40 years of my working.

I surely hope that there's a Dollar General Market near me someday.

@@margaretbeard6564 True and work your ass off also.

Broke boi

You'll still be able to say that even after you've been to a Dollar General. It ISN'T a dollar store. You aren't missing anything.

*They Shut down, MORE JOBS!!!*

Made in China

Convenience Store pretending to be a dollar store.

But no long lines!

Exactly, it’s for convenience, smaller portions in packaging. There are 3 in a 4-5 mile radius. Closet grocery store is 6 miles. For me it’s only for a necessary item quickly

L Harris Alcohol? Really. I suppose I never noticed since it is not what I look for.

Janina Taylor ..Here lately ,I’ve been seeing a Lot Of disinfecting items ! .Just took time to get disinfectant wipes in !!!. There still seems to be an issue with Paper towels and Baby Wipes !....

what about disinfectant spray/nonexistant for months by me in nj

@@paulszeles1828 I come across disinfectant spray every once in a while in AL. Once every blue moon wipes.

Thank You Janina,very thoughtful of you ,much appreciated,God Bless,Be safe

I agree with that statement 100%

Don’t forget to hold on to your purse

Quit your whining! Never happy about anything!

A lot of people are dirt poor and prefer to have something in their stomach vs nothing

@@davedining5069 that "something" causes them to have diabetes, heart disease, stroke, malnutrition, and High Blood Pressure... its like putting oil in the gas tank and saying welp... its better than nothing...

I agree it's called dollar store because things are a dollar but if you go down the dollar aisle I buy everything I need for a dollar like the Dollar Tree and I love it way better
