wrongfull termination
I was wrongfully terminated from my job . I use to like going to work . I was called in to different store to help them and when I would go back to my store the manager cut my hours to 4 hours a week. Had made comment to other employees that he did not like me and one way are another he would have me fired. so one night two people came into the store and tried a quick change con. But the manager refused to call the police and called into the store two days later and fired me and then said he would call the police. But I was the one they tried this on but the police never question me about. So did Jeff the manager really call the police on this matter or was this a set up that Jeff and Robert had planned. I am in the process of seeking council on this matter. Jeff made the comment not to come to the store. That i was not welcome as a customer. this is the way the plaza sidney store operates. Robert does not know how to manage a district stores. He will not return any call or emails. He just annoys them. Jeff has never been trained to be a manager and has friends come to the store to hang out and with him on the phone and sitting in the break talking to them or out in the parking with them. I am hoping by seeking council on this matter will prove to Dollar General that the mistreat employees.

Everything
So far, i am 22 years old, i have worked retail since I have been 16, I have worked for many other business like ShopKo, Pamida, Caseys General Stores ( at Casey's I was able to obtain a assistant managers posistion ), and now Dollar General... DG so far has to be the worst store I have ever worked for, I have more experience than most of the people working there and yet was hired on as a key carrier, but still haven't even been promoted to that posisition so i wonder when or if that will happen, the lack of trust the entire company sees in employees is unbelievable, there is no need my jacket/lunch pail needs to be searched when my shift is over to see if i have stole anything, The DM makes a point to come into the store to watch the employees on the security cameras to see if we are doing anything wrong. The company policy where I cannot have something to drink with me at the register, that it has to be in the break room at all times, is total crap or when I'm expected to stock a rolltainer an hour while being lead cashier is another load of bull. Simple things such as me not being able to void an item off a ticket, that i have to call a MOD up to do, is extremely inefficient. Also another thing I dislike is the dollar general literacy fund.. you are pretty much forced to beg for donations after each sale, and if you don't you will be written up, total BS.

new management
when i first started things were great except we had no manager and worked 10 days in a row with only 1 day off but was getting close to 40 hrs a week and everyone working there was happy and we all got along. Then they brought a new manager into the store. Hes very lazy and I believe not a very honest person. He wanted to take some of the pressure of working 10 days in a row and give us 2 days a wk off so he brought in his best friends daughter in to work part time. Then all of a sudden he started cutting my hours and i have to work 30 hrs a wk to get insurance and thats the reason i took the job at min wage is for the ins. The new girl wasnt even there 2 wks and already called off and he wanted me to stay and work her hrs and i told him no because he cut my hrs because of her and he told me he wasnt done cutting my hrs. The job is getting very stressful and uncomfortable to go to. The bad thing is is no one seems to care except me because i will no longer have ins. I may have to quit and go elsewhere because they do not treat their employees very well.

was refused job application because in college
My 21 year old daughter went in for a job application and the manager asked how old she was and if she was in college and when she relpied yes, she refused her the application saying she can hire a college student. i thought that was rediculous!! my daughter only will be going to school 2 hours aday. they can at least give her a try!! i worked at a dollar general of few years ago my self and quit because the manager was a complete idiot. she was a bad manager didn't know what she was doing. when i first started working there she said i'd be givin a couple cart full of merchandice to put away during my shift, ok, she said anything that was in my cart that was to be put towards back of store i should give to the other employee to put away because i need to be up from always watching the counter to check people out, ok, i fully agree with that, about a month later i went to give the other girl an item to put in back and the manager very rudly said for me to go ahead and just put it away even if it goes in the back to not give it to the other girl from now on, then i get yelled at for being in the back putting this stuff away (i can see what s going on in the front when im having to put stuff away in the back) and not being up from when customers are wanting to check out.. and at this location there is constantly customers in it... my thoughts are, hire 1 person to be at registar at all times, and 1 person to stock!! its not fair to expect the cashier to be at reg and be in back putting things away at such a busy location!!

staff
The only employee in the store did not greet me as I came in, although she greeted everyone else. She also did not speak one word to me as she checked me out. She did however speak to everyone else that was in line before me. I think its very rude to pick out the people she feels don't deserve the respect that everyone does.
Her name was Maggie and I think she's a manager. Which does not speak well of her or the store.

Items wanted not in stock/rude cashier
We wanted to buy some pants but they did not have the certain size we needed. We came twice and they just didn't seem to have them. We were looking for regular fit but they only had relaxed fit. Then when we went up to the cashier, she was rude with a cold personality and her answers to our questions were sharp and this lady acted like she didn't want to help us and would rather be elsewhere. Also, when we finally found some pants to exchange she kept our bag because we needed to shop some more. She was rude enough not to trust us with the pants while we were shopping, worried we might steal. We're honest customers, we never shoplift we just needed to buy a few things but we felt offended that she thought we would steal.

unproffessional management
I have been working here for 2 months and the management is poor. they have this one manager ms. julie who has no people skills and is extremely rude to everyone. she mumbles when shes talks and acts like you are bothering her for everthing! please for the love of god never get a job at dollar general, works not supposed to be fun but working here is is hell. its not even the treatment of employees, but, the amount of hours they give u which is ridiculous average 10-12. how do expect a family to survive on that kind of salary. the managers are very greedy and are taking all the hours for themselves becasue if they would just allow all of the employees to vois items and do returns then there would be no need for them to just walk around anyway and act like they are working and getting health benefits. they are so fucking lazy, . wow it must be so great being a manager of a dollar store and to still be a cashier and stocker. thats why hate all the younger employees becasue they see hw much oppurtunity they have left to actually do something with their life istead of waiting around in a tacky dollar store to be promoted. time to go to college u dont have to be a brain surgeon to be a simple manager low life dollar store!

Lock the doors
Last evening I was going to DG and it was 7:51PM. Thank god it was an hour before closing. Got to the store, ran to the door and it was locked. Then I realized that the employees were sitting inside the window laughing. Looked around on windows to see if there was a special message and nothing. RAn back to the car as I knew I could make it to Pamida.Then I noticed the guy putting a sign about 3"x5" on door. Anyway, went to Pamida and was telling of my experience and Sharon, the Pamida clerk had told me of others who came in an hour before me, telling the same story. NOw had they been sitting outside smoking as they always are, they could have kept us informed/ They could have even swept their cigarette butts off the city sidwalk. Poor management here folks.

way they treat employees
I have family that work at Dollar General. They were full time employees, had health insurance, life insurance, etc. That is until a area manager decided that some employees needed to be listed as parttime. NOW no one said anything to employee about this being changed! A call to insurance company about finding a new doctor, only to be told that YOU HAVE NO INSURANCE! Reason you were removed from full time status to part-time. No I'm sorry you have no insurance. Oh, another company handles insurance for part-time employees. Call to store and was told area manager had told manager to change some employees from full time to part-time DIDN"T REALIZE IT WOULD MESS UP INSURANCE! But call company that handles part-time insurance. That call was made told SORRY NOTHING I CAN DO, YOU CAN'T ENROLL UNTIL OPEN ENROLLMENT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS! BUT YOU CAN GET COBRA UNTIL THEN! Now no health insurance and no money for medicine. They also will not let you work more than 20 hours even when status is full time. After reading all the complaints about Dollar General and the way they treat all employees, I wonder when top officals will step in and clean up this mess. OH, THAT'S RIGHT THEY ARE MAKING GOOD MONEY CAN'T BE BOTHERED!

Heat
There is no a/c in this store, outside right now is about 8O degress and the store is over 100. It's been this way since winter broke and they will not address the problem. I've been a customer for many years, but today I'll walk the extra mile just to shop confortable. Dollar General is pissing me off
