      Disappointed by Cashier ****** attitude when I brought to her attention what seemed to be a pricing error on True Living Everyday 10" plates. The shelf label advertised 94 plates for $6.95. I pointed out that there were only 84 plates in the package. She did a price check that showed the 84 pack of plates as $7.25. After some adjustments, she rang them as $6.95. In my opinion, the point of the number of plates being less than advertised, was still not addressed. The line behind me was growing (3-4 customers). I told her I would go ahead and pay to keep the people behind me from having to wait. I let her know I still wanted to talk to someone else about it. She called her manager (by name) to assist. He pretty much said there was nothing else he could do about it. I accepted his response. I asked her for her name. She responded with a slight neck roll and a blank stare. She didn't give her name until the manager said, "She asked you for your name, ****." She acknowledged him but acted like she didn't hear me or didn't know I has already ******** chief complaint was that the fewer plates (84 /$7.25) cost more than the advertised amount (94/$6.95).I have a string of text messages with Manager ***** ******* from September 2024 through April 2025 where she offered a $25 gift card which has not been received by me. At this point, Manager ******* just stopped responding. The transaction receipt *** is attached below.

      4-25-2025 I purchased a Gift Card from Dollar General on **************************************************************** for ********** for the Mayor of **********. An employee of Dollar General handed me the card since I couldn't find it and I paid cash for the gift card and birthday card. When the Mayor went to ********** to use it, she was told it was tampered with and they could not redeem it. I took the receipt and the card and the folder into the store today and was told it wads already used and no refund. I assured him that neither I nor the mayor had redeemed it. He said they don't sell used card and I assured him I just bought a bad card. He refused to honor the policy of the store to refund bad merchandise if returned in 30 days. I did that. To add to the embarrassment of giving a tampered card, I gave her $25.00 to replace it and I am out $25.00 for tampered merchandise.

      This store is a health hazard!!There are always steel carts with products waiting to be unloaded obstructing the aisles. The aisles are overloaded with products causing a tripping hazard.I've lived in this town for a year and have NEVER been in this store when it was not in disarray! The shelves are never stocked. Nine time out of ten, I can go in there and either cannot get to the item because the aisle is blocked or the shelf is not stocked.

      I purchased a phone holder for $8.65 on cc 9042 at the *************** ** location. I used it for the day; I was traveling. I am not near the store. Otherwise I would bring it in. This snapped in half when I put my phone in the holder. I am requesting a refund, as this product is damaged and does not work.

      `I purchased 5 S ****** TRPL WVE G ************. I bought 4 in one transaction and came back later and purchased the 5th one. I did not need them because I needed 6 and after searching the other Dollar General on ********** they did not carry the item. I went to return them because I could not find the receipt. The cashier which was a woman with a cloth mask over her face said you can't return it without a receipt. Then she calls the manager and she was not pleasant and said the same thing. I told her I used my debit card and she said no. So, I went home and I found the receipt for the first four. When I approached the counter the cashier called the manager again and she was no happy to see me again for this return. Of course, I had to give my debit card so she can put the refund on it. She would not refund the 5th one. I called corporate ************ at least twice a week for over a month and a manager for that location called me on a Sunday which was man and I explained to him what happened and he told me to go into the store tomorrow which would have been Monday and when I came the same cashier would not give me her name or her managers name. They were both black. The cashier was was skinny with a mask and the manager was a short woman with two tone haircut. During this time, I explained to her that the manager told me to come in to get a refund for the curtain. There was a potato chip vendor there witnessing the whole ordeal. She got an instant attitude and told me no he didn't call. I called the customer service number again while I was in the store and the manager got mad and stormed to the office to retrieve the phone to call someone else about this situation. She walked right past me like I was invisible. How embarrassing? Unprofessional. The cashier protecting her and witnessing her rude behavior as normal. All of this on camera. I called the number so many times and no one else called. So I am here making a complaint against the store and corporation.

      I emailed back with my address and asking how much the giftcard would be because the amount unaccounted for the receipt I sent was only like $1 but this is not just about that one it is about all the times shopping the past 6 months at least and I have called everytime a employee was rude and about the $5 I received from one of the p and g deals that i didnt get to use all of it because the system was messed up I have never got anything resolved they take my call and thats it I have called over 100 times probably because of something and nothing had been done or compensated I have also emailed before and never got a response I also emailed pertaining to the address for giftcard and amount because I feel if its not a good amount then its not fair and still havent got a response again I have contacted everytime something went wrong and nothing was done am I being compensated for that also?

      I was looking at my ****** account and noticed a $1.75 charge I did not recognize which was not listed in my check register, this was a week or more ago, so I immediately contacted the store to verify what the charge was for so that I could determine if it was mine or if it was a fraudulent charge as I am a prior county, state and federal employee and my information was hacked during several breaches including the *** breach. 04/12/25 Atm/debit Card Pos Debit Dg ******** S Broacentral City Ildollar-us-1.75 The manager seemed confused about how to look transactions up as she said they had a new system, then put me on hold a couple of times during our call, and was having a private conversation with a friend or coworker about something on ********* as I sat and waited almost fifteen minutes. She then claimed she would have to research it further, then asked me for the last four of my account number I used, which I felt was unnecessary, as I used to manage for ********* and know you can find transactions with amount and date. She never returned my call after a week. I then called again, the worker put me on hold then said the manager was on her break. I then called corporate and talked to *****, she was rude, unhelpful, and hung up on me, then I called back and talked to ***** and asked for a manager, he looked up prior call with ***** and after fifteen minutes of telling her all she took no notes on the screen, this is their job!!! I then told him I wanted to talk to a manager, he said he would try to find an available manager, then never came back, so after fifteen minutes on hold I decided to contact the BBB. I have never dealt with such incompetent and unprofessional, rude employees in my life!!! I simply called to find out what the items I purchased were to verify if it was my purchase or fraud, NONE of these four employees helped me!! I recommend they be fired! I have two business degrees and my parents ran a business!! I want to know the items purchased!

      Complaint: 23251138

      I am rejecting this response because: I returned three calls and left messages, and left two messages letting her know everything the complaint already states which includes all information needed to resolve my complaint! I let her know the poor customer service I received from her employees and manager, that the manager did not want to get on the phone to help me as she was "On Break" that the manager did not know how to look up a simple transaction after I gave her all information from my pen fed account, the date, the amount, even the last four numbers of my account!! I told her I am a prior government employee, county, state and federal and noticed a $1.75 charge on my Penfed account that is not recorded in my checkbook and that I was hacked during the *** breach so of course want to verify this is my purchase by them simply looking it up and telling me what was purchased. It is no wonder the workers are incompetent, when the corporate office has the same as their employees. I have managed retail many times, this is NOT a complex issue, nor is coaching or firing incompetent employees who give bad service. Perhaps you can spell all of this out for them as if they cannot provide what I asked for to you, then I will be contacting my lawyer for them to speak to in a courtroom!! Every single time I returned her call, three times, they had voicemail on. They are doing this intentionally.

      Sincerely,

      ****** ****
