      I like to use the Dollar General app for the coupons but it's very upsetting when they don't work and the employees cannot do anything about it. On more than one occasion, I've walked around the store, shopped and chose the items I wanted to save money on and then some, but then I don't get the discounts due to an issue with the app. I'm sorry but that's not my fault and shouldn't happen. I witnessed it happening to another customer as well. So what did I do? I walked out mad, and didn't purchase anything! That's totally unacceptable and not fair. Why advertise digital deals, in store and on the app, when you can't get them. False advertising? Definitely not good.

      Our customer also emailed me directly and when I responded I included a copy of the email I sent to her on March 14.

      Cashier had difficulty feeding check into machine. Tried multiple times at two different checkout stations. Finally refused my check and kept my basket of goods. Later that day I got a receipt via email for the purchase which I was not allowed to make. I called the customer service number and was told to go to the store to get a refund. The store refused. I called the customer service number again. I was told that the regional manager would call me. I was not called. I want my $166.20 paid to me.

      I did check with my financial institution.  I paid to have a "stop payment" issued for the check.  The concern is that whatever computer issue allowed a receipt to  be sent when a purchase was not made could result in the account being drafted. The company needs to address its issues with check acceptance and needs to address the *************** training, and machinery issues.

      On 2-13-2024 I was charged $39.72 for a number of products I purchased at the (now oob) Dollar General Store #*** located at ******************************************************************. The store was having a "Going Out of Business" Sale and I was told by the 2 clerks working (one I believe *** have been the store manager) that evreything in the store was currently 90% off. I was also told the 90% sale had just started that morning. There were also many price signs throughout the store saying 90% off, along with price examples of different price points and their new price after the 90% was applied. There were no other pricing signs besides these 90% off signs and there were also very few shelf price tags remaining anywhere in the store. When I got home I realized I had been overcharged by $22.43, as many of the items I purchased did not ring up at the promised 90% off price point. I returned to this store the next morning with my receipt to get my refund. The store clerk said she did not have the access or ability to give refunds ay longer because the store was going out of business. She also said her District Manager would be in the following morning, if I wanted to come in again and talk to her. The next day I returned to this store again, and the DM (named ***********************************) was indeed there, and I was able to talk with her and explain the issue I had with the overcharge. She was immediately defensive and said there were absolutely no refunds because it was a Going OOB sale. She at one point was pointing at the sign that stated this. I explained to her I was overcharged, and she denied that as well, saying the 90% off sale did not apply to everything in the store. I explained how both clerks told me it was 90% off everything. One of those clerks was present during this conversation, and she agreed with me. The DM would not budge, so I left unhappy. I have contacted Dollar General's **************** number 2x and spoke with them, but nobody has called me back.

      I used self check out and Selected no cash back. It then asked me if I was OK with a $1.50 feet for $40. Cash back , I said no! it charged me a fee and gave me the $40 anyway! When I rang the bell for the cashier, She was extremely rude and told me she knew it's just sensitive. So they're aware of the problem and are just letting people get scammed out of money! Now I also have to take time out of my day to go put money back in my bank account! How many other people are they doing that to? And how many other people might not have the money and get charged an extra fee for over drawing! I want my time back that I have to spend going to the ******** want the fee refunded!

      A couple weeks ago I went to my local Dollar general store in *****, ************** to get just a few things. It was close to closing time, it was about 9:48pm. They don't close until 10:00pm. But the people working that night had already locked the doors and weren't letting anyone else in. Only letting people out. There was 12 minutes before closing, i didn't think they could lock the doors until exactly 10:00pm closing time. I really needed something personal and couldn't get it at my local dollar store. So had to drive out of my way to get what I needed, all because someone decided they weren't going to work the last 12 minutes on the job.

      On 2/16/2024 @ 9:00am I purchased an apple gift card for my sister in the amount of $400 from Dollar General, store #*****. I literally live 3 minutes from this store. By the time I got home and gave it to my sister, which took about 5 minutes, upon activation attempt it stated that the code had been redeemed. I returned to the store to ask if they would check and make sure that the card had been activated, as apple says that that message will appear when it has not yet been activated. The store manager was very prompt and adamant that the card was activated and turned to walk away without providing any further assistance. I called apple and they said that it had been redeemed and that they would put a fraud alert on it for whatever its worth. No one had that information other than me and my sister. So Im not sure how it got redeemed other than someone at the store. Store #***** Transaction #***** Ref #************ Issuer CHM

      I would like to make a complaint about store dollar general store #**** at ****************************************************** on the 12th of February I was going to purchase a prepaid debit card a my vanilla card when I got to the counter **** was the cashier she went and grabbed a different one and insisted that I get a western union one so she brought about 3 or 4 to the counter scanned them saying they weren't registering and supposedly one finally went through I put ****** dollars on it got home tried to activate it and they wouldn't allow me to saying it was already purchased and put back in the store that they were going to put a block on it. **** is not trust worthy at all whats the chances she cashed me out with one I would be scammed on. Also after reviewing the receipt it does even have her name on it it says cashier was ******* he did not cash me he was stocking shelf the as just as I'm getting ready to go to self check out she's digging in the garbage for the card she just throw in there. Now im out 300 dollars. I will be boycotting this store it sad cause I'm in there anywhere from 4-8 time a week. I truly hope this company fires her this was done intentionally It's totally wrong. She shouldn't be running on someone else's till and living on a set income I will never shop here again I can't afford to loose 300 everything I'm trying to save money because the employees are not trust worthy.

      I recently had a rather disappointing experience at this store due to their recent implementation of a 5-item limit at the self-checkout. While I understand the need for policies, the way it was handled left much to be desired. I get that this policy may apply when the store line is long and to keep the flow of customers checking out. However, I was one of the few customers at the store and no one at the cash register.Upon arriving at the self-checkout with more than 5 items, I noticed the classy construction paper sign indicating limit 5 items. However, there was no staff at the front, and no one in the store or line at the regular cash register. In an attempt to proceed, I was confronted by two cashiers who, instead of politely informing me of the new policy, exhibited a condescending tone.One of the cashiers turned the monitor away, stating the 5-item limit "para la otra" (for next time), and walked away without offering any assistance. The other cashier, *******, was then called over to repeat the same message. What struck me as particularly frustrating was that neither cashier offered to cancel my transactions and move my items to the regular cash register.This encounter was made even more unpleasant by the fact that it occurred in front of vendors who were making deliveries. The lack of professionalism and customer service in handling the situation was evident, leaving a lasting negative impression.While I understand the need for store policies, it's crucial that they are communicated respectfully, and staff should be equipped to assist customers in finding suitable alternatives, especially when the situation could have been easily resolved by cancelling my transaction and moving me to the other cash register.I hope that this store can address these customer service issues to ensure a more positive experience for customers in the future. I did not continue with the purchase and asked for the cashier to Cancel it. She proceeded with saying "Thank you have nice day".

      Complaint: 21295003

      I am rejecting this response because:I have been called 2 times by some lady who says she is with DOLLAR GENERAL and she has left a phone number that (has been disconnected or is no longer in service).  ************ has made absolutely NO EFFORT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE OR COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY WITH ME. I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND LEFT MESSAGES AND EMAILS CONTAINING MY NAME ADDRESS PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL INFORMATION, ALSO THE BEST TIMES TO REACH ME. 

      I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE OTHER THAN THE 2 PHONE MESSAGES WITH THE BAD/DISCONNECTED LINE.
      I ALSO SHOWED THEM MY RECIEPT FROM MY PREVIOUS VISIT WITH THE OVERCHARGE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME AT ALL.  AND SAID THE STORE WAS CLOSED AND I NEEDED TO GO.

      THIS IS ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS AND HORRIBLE THAT THE BBB IS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL TO ASSIST IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER. 

      I ONLY WANT WHAT I WAS OVERCHARGED $30.00 ETHER AS A  CHECK, OR GIFT CARD. 

      I JUST WANT THIS TO BE DONE WITH! NEVER STEP FOOT INSIDE A DOLLAR GENERAL AGAIN!

      Case # ******** Customer: *******************
      Dear **************:  
      Thank you for notifying us of our customers rebuttal to our response to her complaint regarding a transaction made at our store in ******,** using her digital account.
      Upon receipt of the initial complaint, we reached out to our customer for more information and after she responded, as we were unable to locate the transaction specified in her message, we were able to determine the following:
      Our customer made a purchase on 2/7 of $85.60.  Prior to that she made a purchase on 1/24. No other purchases are seen for the year 2024 in her digital account. 
      Our customer did not purchase Charmin* on this transaction for it to be returned.
      *This is the product mentioned when we asked our customer for more information.
      However, on the transaction right after the $85.60; there is a return transaction for Bounty Paper Towels. Which are the same paper towels purchased in the $85.60 transaction. 
      If our customer expected a digital Bounty paper towel coupon to apply, there was not a Bounty digital coupon offer clipped. This is why it did not apply. 
      Coupons that did apply are:
      SAVE $2.50 on ONE (1) 6 oz or larger bag of DentaLife Dog Treats
      Save $3.00 when you spend $15.00 or more (pre-tax) at Dollar General
      We have checked all items purchased to see if there were corresponding clipped coupons that could have applied but did not. We were unable to find any.

      We are confident, with the information provided by our customer, that this matter has been investigated and appropriately addressed. To ensure any digital questions or concerns are addressed in a timely manner, we respectfully suggest our customer reach out to our digital team ************************************** any time she has a question or concern regarding her digital account.
      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
