wrongfully dismissed
i worked for dollar general for a year i really liked my job.i really had
big plans working with this company.we went through 4 store managers
in that length of time.well i had a district manager that used me the store
manager and the asst. manager.there were other people working there
that didn't like me.finally its got to the point that they we accusing me of
stupid things that i didn't do.i was getting so upset but, i hung in there
because i wanted and needed my job.well i couldn't tell you all the things
they did. oh and i was promoted to 3rd key to during all this .but
according to the district manager i wasn't experience enough to be store
manager when i have been in retail for 25+YRS.so they finally let me go
by wrongfully dismissing me.oh but guess what they all lost their jobs
shortly afterwards.i have beening trying to get my job back now if you
were corporate office wouldn't this tell you something? i am hoping they
will hire me back as store manager.

Bad Customer Service
I was in the Bronson, FL store the other day and normally I am greeted, but this day I was not. There was a guy at the register his name is Brian and he just gave me a nasty look. He was rambling under his breath and was steadally giving me a nasty look. I kept going about my business because I needed diapers for my baby. I walked around the store for about 15 mins and I noticed he was following me around. I went up to him and asked him why he was following me around he told me not to worry about it..I asked to speak to his manager he told me that he was the manager.. I have never had any problems with this store. I have shopped there for over 2 years. I think that this store needs to be inspected a little better..I could not believe the way I was getting treated. I put the diapers back and went to the gas station to buy them even though they are more expensive there. I would rather pay more money somewhere else than to deal with that stores bad customer service..

Store Hours
I don't not understand how Dollar General can be so greedy for the all mighty buck that they have to have thier stores open from 8:00 am until 9:00 pm 7 days a week! Since when does this store try to be like Walmart????. The reason why Dollar General is doing so well is because they aren't like Walmart! Or i thought they weren't. There is no holidays that are concidered legal except Christmas. So having the store open that late is not only stupid, but idiotic. Dollar General runs the risk of being robbed and don't seem to care about the employees that have to work the hours they now have to compensate thier lives for. I live in NY i know what i'm talking about. I will not give my name due to being fired from my job for being honest in how i feel. I know how big companies work. They want employee feed back, but if they hear something they don't like they find any excuse they can to fire that employee. The little people within the Dollar General company have lives to. If it weren't for the little people being willing to work then the higher ups would have to really work to earn thier paychecks. You higher ups come up with these so called great ideas on making a profit, but don't stop to think of who really makes those profits work. Its's us little people and the customers who shop at Dollar General. There was nothing wrong with having the ny based stores open 8:00 am until 9:00 pm monday-Saturday and 9:00 until 8:00 pm on Sunday. Sunday hours should have stayed as it was before the new hours were posted. 9:00 am until 6:00 pm. That gave cashiers, managers, and other employees time for nightly services at church! Now there is a problem with making services due to the hour change! I'm sure you higher ups can sleep at night, cause instead of counting sheep you could dollar bills! Ok end of my rant...thank you for your time

the new manger
I had been working for Dollar General since Septmber 2008 and i loved my job my boss at the time understude that i had two small children at home and really worked with me about my hours that i worked and taught me a lot when i got hired i became a third key holder so i was really happy. But then we had a new manger take over the store and she was opening every deposit that i made why i still dont understand that she also had me working every night never day shift and she never would work night shift. When my old boss left the distantant manger offord me the the assisant manger job with more pay and i say yes i ran the store 5 days by myself and did a good job then when the new manger came along I called the big boss back to ask about my pay because i never got it she said i was not the assisant and that it was up to the new boss if she wanted me to have that postion or not. I fell like i was used and i think somthing need to be done about it.I finally quit Febuary 3 because i has call my boss and told her i would be comming in late sue to my kids and she told me i was going to get wrote up for it and that i need to find somthing else to do with my kids she was upset because she had to leave early to take her husband to the docotors.. i feel like if she is the boss it is her job to stay there until i can get there.I also had a bad problem when one of the cashiers there was taking money from the cashregister and when i call her she wouldnt do anything about it so i called the big boss and she told me to just keep my eyes on her. I feel like they reather have people there who are stealing money and there products there instead of people like me who was doing so much for the company and trying to help out and stop the people who was stealing i couldn't work around that stuff anymore. And when i went to get my last check i didnt have one i have my clock in paper that shows i worked 14.50 and still to this day have never got paid for it. But my old buss sopsely got fired for cutting a persons time by 15 minutes.. So i really think you guys need to do somthing about this...PLEASE i loved my job and hate i quit but i could no longer put up with this kind of stuff going on and nobody seemed to care but me...

Open on Easter!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/stop-dollar-general-from-being-open-on-easter --- SIGN HERE, copy and paste the code in your browser.
Dollar General has now decided to stay open and make its employees work on Easter! For many years, the only days Dollar General were closed were on the days of the Lord: Christmas and Easter.
Many of us thought they were pushing it by being open on Thanksgiving, but this is ridiculous! Easter, as well as Christmas, is a time for our Lord, and family. Even those who do not believe in God should respect the beliefs of others and keep this day Holy.
It's bad enough that Dollar General stores stay open later than 6pm on Sundays, but now they want to force employees to work on a day that should be spent with family and worshipping their Lord?
This is an outrage. I am truly disappointed with this company and its decision to disrespect so many of its employees' religious beliefs.
If you agree, please sign this petition, and we'll get it back to Corporate. Also, do all you can to keep your store from being open on Easter.
Do NOT shop at Dollar General Stores on Easter.
Let's let them (and all other stores open on Easter) know that this is wrong.
Spread the word by passing this on to everyone you know!
Please, even if you don't believe in God, show your respect for others' beliefs by participating in this. Sign this petition and refuse to shop at Dollar General on Easter.
Thank you.

Fraud and cheating
On February 10 I bought a 'Wireless Gear' mobile phone charger 'for use with all Motorola, Nextel, and Blackberry phones' at Dollar General. I paid $7.00 plus tax. The charger would not work with my Motorola TFC139B. The next day I carried it back to Dollar General.
I was told that Dollar general does not warrant electronics, and that I would have to call the technical 'support' number on the merchandise box. Reluctantly, I did. There was no toll-free number, so I decided to spend a little extra to confirm what I already knew--'there is no one available to take your call.' This was on Wednesday morning at 9:00 and 9:20 AM CDT. If there is no one at these times, most likely there will never be.
But there was a remedy! I could return the merchandise (at my expense) to the importer with a $5.95 shipping/handling fee under the terms of 'ESI Cases and Accessories'' 'lifetime warranty.' No thanks! Being ripped off once in one week is enough.
In effect, Dollar General is selling cheap electronics at a not-too-cheap price with absolutely no customer support. Dollar General will not warrant it. The 'world's largest manufacturer of cellular and IPod accessories' did not have anyone to answer the phone in the middle of the week, but they have an air-tight 'lifetime warranty, ' if you are sucker enough to exercise it.
Over the past ten years, I have bought a little over $200.00 in electronic merchandise at Dollar General. Never again! That will cost them a lot more than seven bucks. How many hundreds or thousands of people will read this? How many of them will avoid electronic merchandise at Dollar General? Circuit City shot itself in the foot with this kind of customer service. Dollar General, take heed.

Is there anyting good about this company (NO)
This company is so stupid They keep cutting my hours and then the call me on Valentines Day and say why didn't you come in today. I didn't know i was scheduled to work. I called them the day before and they said I didn't have to work . This all started after an employee put his hands on me. I told my boss about it. My boss turned it in to the DM. They keep saying things like if he gets fired it is your fault and there was nothing wrong with what he did. They said that he was just being nice and I should've just left it alone. When the started cutting my hours my boss said well your husband works, you have an income they don't have any money they need it more than you do. well thanks to them I am behind on my car payment. I did not take a job that started me out a 40 hours to get cut down to 4 hours a week. This sucks!!!

worked through my lunch with no pay
Where I work the management robb people of their hours. I was not given a lunch break and I have my slip to prove that I worked 8 hours and 15 minutes straight. On that same day my manager fixed my time on the computer to show that I did clock out for a lunch. I called the # on the slip to only wait and find out that they really don't do anything. I am now calling another # hoping that someone can do something before they try to get rid of me. They jump on other tills and people come out short at the end of the day. They get items at red cart prices for them and their families. They get away with a lot and people like us just end up quitting or getting fired when we make our complaints. Headquarters need to make a lot of changes in the system. We are not robbing the stores, the customers are not robbing the stores, it's Dollar General's own Management that is robbing the stores in a slick kind of way. "O" and I do work to the best of my abilities, I am on time, I do not call in, I do not drink, I do not smoke, I am a hard worker that deserves better. I am complaining about store #7425 in San Antonio, Texas. Managements are Veronica T. and Mario H. ...
