I feel that this company is very interested in earning the almighty dollar. They do nothing to ensure their employees safety. Sure, some locations have security cameras, but that seems provided moreso for reduction of customer thefts and shoplifters than to protect the employees. Why have a store open so late if there are few customers, and little to none neighboring businesses open?

I am at the point that I hate my job and I am certain most managers would agree. We suffer from the trickle down syndrome everyday, the people above us can not possibly make up their minds, not that would be too easy to do. I would like to know who comes up with some of these new "policies". Is it someone at corporate, divisional, regional, dm, or who??? I am pretty certain that kkr is not stupid, but what i believe is happening is one person says do this, then this one adds their two bits, then the next, and the next, and by the time it gets to us well its just a gaggly old mess and near to impossible to filter and accomplish. Not to mention when kkr took over most of the old timers bailed out and now we have all these people tring to make a name for themself at our expense not to mention jeapordizing our safety. To be such a profitable company you would think that they could at least give us enough payroll to allot for things to be done as well as have double coverage at all times. Obviously, no one at corporate has ever had a gun pointed at them. Its just not right. I believe a 7% payroll is acceptable and doable but how come I only get 5% and thats stretching it. And why so many logs, model store, how is my rm and dm benefiting from this? I understand cleanliness but give me the tools to accomplish it! And give me the tools to maintain it. A stupid color coded wall is not going to help me do that, a void log isnt going to help me. Deligation isnt going to help me either when I am the only one there. And for gods sake rewrite the deposit policy where it states a non key carrier cant take the dep to the bank and you cant leave a non key carrier alone in the store so i am not at risk by having to do that off hours creating dangerous patterns for myself. If your going to write a policy write it as if it is for you, or for your childs mother. Most of us managers are women and mothers. Take care of us and stop putting us at risk.

in july 2008 dollar general offered a rebate for certain products and customer had to mail in by july 21 2008. as of today 1 2 2009 i have not recieved 2.00 rebate and so i called the number on the rebate form (1-800-644-5043) and it is no longer in service and so i went to web site ([email protected])and this goes nowhere either so thought someone should know that as a consumer i think this is bogus and wrong to intice a person to buy and then do not follow through.

My Fiance has come home complaining about her manager just about everyday about her changing the work schedule, texting her at times telling her she is supposed to be in working and that she is late. Lyn (my fiance) writes down her schedule when she gets it. Her hours are scratched out and new ones on top

she was told when hired thats he should throw out the receipts she gets when she clocks in and out. She noticed her hours are short so she started saving her receipts. Now she notices that her start time has been changing when she clocks out. She mentioned it to her assisted manager and the assisted manager went to the back and fixed it. How can that happen unless someone did it. we still have not checked previous days, but will tonight when she gets home

I shop a lot Dollar General store. The cashiers take thier time in checking you out, etc. Knowing the line is long.
One customer yelled out to the two female cashiers (Betty and the other one with short blondish hair about 5'4" or5'5") are you going to open another cashier register.
One of tghe cashier quote no I ain't going to open another register.
The same customer said she is being smart. Then she ask for the corprate phone number.One of the cashiers (quote) I ain't going to open another register.
When I got to the cashier I asked Betty if someone would help me take my bags out.
Cashier Betty (quote) I have to see if she is busy. (the blondish cashier), Betty said pull your car in front of the store(which was a fire lane).
As I was going in the store I notice two Clearwater Police parked in the parking lot also a Pepsi truck with the # F34095 driven by a female driver was already in the fire lane.
I said you need to help people with disabilities/American Disabilities Act.
The same customer said it Freedom of speach.I respond, that is the first Amendment, we have rights to (the white house).
I said I'm not going to pull in a fire lane and get a ticket, there was two police out in the parking lot. The blondish cashier (quote) you need to tell them that."not to park in the fire lane".
I ask for the corporate phone number.
As the blondish cashier help me take my items out, she (quote) we helped you.
I said all you had to do was help from the beginning, this would not had happen.
The blondish cashier said you need to go back inside, I will give you the number.
Which she went in the back and came out with the number and said I have already call them, they should be waiting on your call. She stated I will have you band from the store.
Corporate phone number she gave me was 1-800-678-9528. Two other customers and I exchanged the Corporate phone number.
Because the carts have plastic pole about 10' that want let the carts go outside the store, a person like me who is disable can't take a lot of bags out to the car without a carts. this were the American Disabilities Act come in.This has happen several times before.
The manager or Corporate need to be held accountable for not abiding by the ADA, etc.
