Dollar General — Local services in Atlantic City

I always loved Dollar General. I lived in the Galloway area and I used to go there all the time. I have since moved to Egg Harbor Township. There’s two Dollar General locations in EHT, less than 15 minutes from my house. But I don’t like them as much as the one in Galloway. Often, I will take the trip to Dollar General in Galloway, especially if I’m gonna be in that area. It takes about 18 minutes from my house and is not a far drive. The Galloway location is larger than most and it’s very well organized. It is not a dollar store, but most of the items are cheap compared to the major stores and supermarkets. Everything has a place and the aisles are clearly marked. They really do have the best prices on laundry items, dish soap and beauty items. They also have many small departments such as bathroom, and kitchen, some lamps, automotive, greeting cards, school and craft items. They also have home decor and storage containers. A must have for the home. All at a great price. My only issue is that this location are promoting too many dollar items, not worthy of General Dollar’s standards. They now have a whole, dedicated dollar aisle. I purposely go to this Dollar General instead of the Dollar Tree. It’s just filled with cheap stuff that doesn’t work or is inefficient. Dollar General used to have the best generic bleach. It was comparable to Clorox and it was cheaper. Last time I was there, I looked all around for it, and they only had the $1 bleach. I was forced to buy it because of time constraints. Naturally, the bleach didn’t work well with my whites. That’s why I gave this location four stars. The only thing I get at dollar tree is my hangers for my clothes. They have good ones for a good price, but most of my shopping is done at Dollar General in Galloway. It’s located on Fifth Avenue, across the street from Wawa. They have some good prices and brand names. Just don’t lower your standards, Dollar General! I also wanted to mention there’s a $5 off coupon, when you spend $25 on Saturdays. You can download the digital on the app or ask them at the register for a...

There are days where it's literally closed, like today, 8/3/22--out of the blue. Last week, their whole POS system was down and they were only taking cash--I had around $50 of cleaning supplies so they lost out on that purchase. A few days this month and year: they opened later or closed earlier than their posted hours.

In terms of the selection, it's actually decent and offers most things that you would need. They really need to work on training their cashiers. Half of them are decent and polite and the other half seem to have never worked in customer service. Often, I have been checked out while the cashier was on their personal phone or doing something not related to work. I understand that being a cashier in Atlantic City is not easy, but it's no excuse for the unusually low quality of customer service at this Dollar General. This DG is supposed to be one of the best in AC (given its proximity to the luxury apartments and condos across the avenue). Be consistent with store hours and train your staff with...

I go to this store almost every day. No more. The cashiers are rude and disrespectful and why wouldn't they be? Their manager is just as rude. He has defended them over a loyal customer every time. My last complaint was that the baskets were filthy. No one cleaned them. They were disgusting. When they were told about it by a district manager their solution wasn't to clean them, it was to throw them in the back and never put them out again. Tonight, I I was yelled at my the manager and the cashier, so I put my items down and said I am never coming back and the cashier said, that's ok we don't want you.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS STORE. THEY NEED TO CLOSE IT UNTIL THEY HIRE A COMPLETELY NEW STAFF.

But it it doesn't matter to me because I am never going back. Hit these companies where it...
