      On Monday, July 15, 2024, I purchased two coffee creamers (one French vanilla and the other Hazelnut). Both were dollar general brand. They were on the regular shelves with the coffee, filters, and powdered *******. I paid with my debit card, and the lady did not give me a paper receipt.It was hot as all get out in the store yesterday when I went in around 7:20pm, most of the coolers were broken and obviously no AC. The chocolate on the shelves was liquid in the package. Anyway, I went home and put the creamers in the fridge to use this morning in my coffee. Got up this morning and made a pot, fixed a cup, took a sip, and nearly vomited. It was awful!!! I tried to call the store, but got no answer so I texted a friend who works there. He stated the phone was broken. I asked about the refund and was told they wouldnt give me a refund (even though they had a record of the transaction because I paid via debit card) but I could exchange the creamers for others. He also stated they werent even supposed to sell those because they were moved from the cooler to the shelf. I want my money back and this store to be held accountable for what they sell to customers.

      This complaint has so called been worked on since May 3rd. Every time I would contact there was a different response none of which were true just a different story. After I spoke to the ******* manager I thought he would do his job to resolve the issue.

      I did contact Sephora to check to make the money was on the cards. That how I know the money was gone.

      Thank you for notifying us of the rebuttal from our customer regarding our response to her complaint connected to her purchase of a $250 Sephora card purchased at our store in ************, **.
      Upon receipt of the customers original complaint, we located her transaction including four Sephora Gift Cards, three for $250 and one for $150; we then reached out to our third-party vendor who confirmed all four cards purchased in her transaction activated properly and they had all been redeemed. As there was nothing amiss at the time of purchase and as all four cards activated properly,we again respectfully suggest our customer reach out to Sephoras customer service and open a fraud claim.

      Thank you for notifying us of the second rebuttal from our customer regarding our response to her complaint connected to her purchase of a $250 Sephora card purchased at our store in ************, **.
      Upon receipt of this rebuttal, out of an abundance of care for our customers complaint, I emailed her directly to make sure she was not referring to a card that was different than the cards we were already aware of that she purchased. She responded to my email and although this card was among those we had previously checked, I reached out to our third-party vendor again and they again confirmed this card was activated correctly at the time of purchase, and this card had been redeemed. I also let our customer know that for her protection Sephora will not share the redemption details with us and again advised her to contact ******* and open a fraud claim.
      I believe we have appropriately investigated and responded to this complaint. Thank you for bringing this rebuttal to our attention.

      Today July 7 2024 I visited the DG store on old 21 Hillsboro ******** at approximately 10:00 am. As soon as I entered the store I realized the store still did not have AC and at 10:00 am in July the interior of the store was already about 90 degrees. I asked the one employee about it and she informed me that they have been open ever since it broke and many employees have quit now. The fresh food was spoiling and it was miserable in there. I was there last week and it wasn't working then. So for at least a week if not more those employees have been working in terrible condition. They were told if they call in they will no longer have a job. The young lady on second shift is pregnant approx 7 months. I think it's ridiculous and if they can't get an ac person out to fix it then they need to close the store and give the employees off with pay. There is a DG on every corner across the **. They should be able to keep there AC and other equipment running. Like the coolers that are out at every DG that I have went to in ********, is this a way to save on their electricity bill? IDK but it needs to be looked into. I can deal with coolers being down and some food items not being available because of it. But don't jeopardize your employees to save a few dollars.

      Upon reviewing my receipt, I noticed several items were rung up for more than the advertised price. Newport cigarettes are listed in store for 9.65, but I was charged a full dollar more. I was also not credited the full $3 off for buying 2 packs as advertised in store (the $2 credit is for Doritos). Per several online articles this is a common issue at DG and this practice is ILLEGAL. I demand a gift card to compensate me for my troubles. Also, why are you letting shirtless homeless people in your store?? This was at the store in ********* Fl across from the airport around 9 am 7/6/24. I will be returning to the store to photograph the listed prices compared to my receipt. I will also be notifying the proper authorities if this issue is not resolved

      I was involved in a slip accident on August 25, 2022, and was contacted once by the risk department. Although I have called, faxed, and emailed there was no contact on their behalf. I think I may have filed a complaint but am unsure. The fall left me with injuries and medical bills and all I want to do is discuss my options. I would just like a return call.

      I went to the newly opened dollar general in *************, my hometown where everyone knows me. Im a disabled veteran with ptsd and many other disabling disorders which unfortunately are crippling sometimes. This absolutely almost sent me into a full flashed panic attack and or black out flash out but fortunately I was able to get myself together and yes I as obviously and visibly upset as I needed to pay my electric bill online so I purchased a 225$ net spend western union prepay card. I went home and called netspend to activate it and was told I had to go all the way back and have the cashier scan it again as it was improperly scanned and that cashier went stupid on me absolutely refusing my business and I cant activate it without it being properly scanned. I kept calling netspend and western union and the bank issued the card and the bank said they have been having complaints about the exact same situation from other customers. Seven times I went back with either netspend or western union on the phone wanting to talk to the cashier and explain how it wasnt properly scanned but she refused to talk to them was very ugly to me vulgar and embarrassing me in front all the patrons in the store who l I knew and then calls the cops and had me banned from the store for absolutely no reason showing the police the receipt she had saying properly scanned. I talked to the general manager there she said I scanned the scad somewhere and the money was stolen by a scammer she lied i cant use it if not properly scanned it is impossible I tried. Then now they think I was scamming them because days later after posting it all over social media a lady informed me that the last 4 of the card didnt match the recipe numbers and was correct so that means this is some type of elaborate scam where once scanned loaded the month went to the real card somewhere instead of the card in its fraudulent package. I never got my electric bill paid lights turned off for weeks and absolutely zero help

      Customer Answer

      Date: 07/11/2024

      Im unsure if I knew at the time of filing but a lady on ******** after posting it like 4 days after noticed the last four of my card didnt match the last four of the card on the receipt. What does that mean I believe that somewhere along the line from the manufacturer to the time it got to the store the card numbers match a card of unknown origin when scanned instead of my money loaded onto my card it went to another card and my card numbers were fake scam cards I wonder how many people this is happening to because the lady with the bank issuing the cards said that there were many complaints about the exact same thing. Was it done at the manufacture an inside job creating cards with a different number and loading a real card elsewhere and how would they know when that particular card is loaded in order to use the stolen money. I am unsure I am so very confused I am very disappointed in the Dollar General and the whole thing just makes me sick no one like losing money especially someone on a fixed income and literally my last dollars to last a whole month between checks. I was s made to look like the criminal smearing my name and reputation all over the place cops yo my home saying Im banned from the store try r whole time and I swear on everything holy an innocent and disgruntled customer confused and feeling like I was ripped off by the dollar store. I wonder if this was realized yet if so I need my money back and an apologize to me for first of all lying saying I swiped it and a scammer emptied the card when I never got it activated in the first place. Their recipe said it was scanned properly and it was only it went to a real working care where mine was a fraudulent card. I hope this is gottten yo the bottom of I hope the store is innocent as well but they are responsible for selling me a fraudulent card that was part of some sophisticated scam. I dont kneo this is just theory but how else could this be explained and to prove it Im  it the only one who got scammed.

      On June 30, 2024 I tried shopping at Dollar general. When I was checking out I noticed that my coupon for $4 did not come off. The male cashier who was not wearing a name tag and REFUSED to give me his name tried to tell me it came off. I explained to him all of my products and all the coupons my total should have been $22.80 plus tax, but it was ringing up $28.38 ($26.80 plus tax). He kept arguing with me saying that they all came off, finally I said never mind I will not buy any of it. He then told me if I pay for it he can fix it after. So I paid $28.38 with the expectation that he was going to give me $4 back. After I paid he looked at my receipt for a few minutes, even though I was rudely interrupted by the male employee and a older female employee, I explained all of my products and coupons again, he said he couldn't do anything. I was very confused because he said I had to pay for it and then he would fix it, so I told him I will just return everything. He very rudely and aggressively told the old employee to take care of me. So she began to return my products, I was even courteous enough to bring all of the 12 packs of soda to the back of the store and put them where I got them from. When I returned to the cash register the old lady was saying rude and inappropriate comments to me. Then she asked for my id. I asked why I had to give her my id when she has the receipt? She got very aggressive then called her manager she said her manager asked me why I shop here, As I waited patiently for about 10 minutes, and all the unnecessary drama, she refused to give me refund. Then she told the male employee to get my products that were already put back in the shelf, and I need to take the products after she returned them in the system. She threatened to call the police on me. Also they gave me soda boxes that are damaged and have mold on them (not the undamaged boxes that I had). And threw my other products in the cart some not even bagged and crushing everything.

      Dear **************: 


      Thank you for notifying us of the rebuttal from our customer regarding a visit to our store in ********, ***

      Upon receipt of this rebuttal, we reached out again to our district manager who has since confirmed that he has left a voicemail and email for our customer, advising that he has been authorized to provide a gift card for the amount of the requested refund. He left his direct contact information with our customer in the email to coordinate the delivery of this refund.

      We believe we have done our best to resolve our customer's concern. Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention.

      I was finally contacted by the district manager on July 30, 2024. He stated he was authorized to mail me a $30 gift card for my troubles. I have not received it yet and was waiting until I did to close this case. I am very skeptical of receiving the gift card due to the unprofessional behavior I have already been subjected to.

I haven't been in that Dollar General since I filled this claim.Today ***** General manager give me a gift card for Dollar General for items I paid cash. Nor do I want to purchase items from this store or have a gift card for this company. This has been a very difficult situation to be made to continue business with this company. Please understand that I deserve to shop wherever I choose to spend my money that I work to spend.
