Dollar General — Local services in Barberton

Dollar General used to be my go to place to purchase my hygiene and daily household items, however, I will never again patronize this establishment ever again. Hopefully, you will not either.

I needed razors. I only use one specific type that very few retailers keep stocked. D.G. happens to carry my brand so my friend and I busted out our lists and was ready to drop some dollars. We are approaching the checkout line when two Barberton Police Officers ask us to step outside they needed to speak with us. Initially, we thought a family memeber may have been injured, suprisingly we were informed that we was shoplifting. We complied with the search and the officers went inside to inform them we did not have any D.G. merchandise. Regardless, D.G. said we are no longer permitted in their store.

Dollar General falsely accused us of theft and instead of an apology we got the boot.

Good job,...

First off do not go here if you're in a hurry. Everytime I've ever been here I've had to wait in line for atleast 5 minutes or longer. Part of that might be because they're understaffed but it's still frustrating. I prefer to get in and out of stores as quickly as possible, but that simply isn't going to happen here. The store is way to small for the amount of people that shop there, which can get frustrating too. Also for what ever reason it usually smells really bad in there like to the point to where you feel like you might throw up from it. On the plus side the staff is usually pretty friendly and it's decently stocked. It's not my favorite place to shop but it's ok if you have alot of time to spare and you can deal with the smell. I will still shop here, but there is definitely alot of room for improvement...
