Dollar General — Local services in Connell

Dollar General is a great addition to Connell. We are a little community, mostly farmers here. There isn't a lot of business here ,;; so we don't have a lot of choices. Dollar General gives us that. There's been a lot of turnovers in the store employee roster. But we don't have a whole bunch of working age kids living here. So that's going to happen. Most of the guys around here either work at the prison or on one of the many farms in the area And many of the woman take a job at the potatoes factory or are stay at home mome with small children. So the store is going to see it have a hard time finding competent employees to fill the jobs. Your stock in the isle show this need. You only have one or two employees on a shift you can't get your shelves restocked quickly. I've learned what's going on by watching and listening. The employees you do have working are doing their best they are friendly and willing to help the customer find what they need. And if it's not out they'll c check in back to see if there's anything that just came in. It will get better. We are grateful to have you as a new and very welcome addition here. You've been able to give us options and you prices help with inflation we've had since the COVID virus. And things are only getting tougher But the store is clean. The employees are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable and we like you expanded hours.. you just need to hire some stickers on the days supplies come in. And someone to show them what to do. Part timers. I'm willing to help. I've worked in smaller family run business similar to dg. Just on a smaller level. But I know how to keep busy and focused. I was a caregiver here. I had 5 jobs that I worked all at once. I just had to arrange my hours in a manner that was efficient and produced the work I was hired to do it can be done here. Id even volunteer hours cuz I want you to stay At 71 I've slowed down about but I would just be helping with restocking. A few days a month I can manage. Heck I have 6 dogs and a 2500 square foot home to maintain and a huge yard So I am still on track. But just a bit slower. I've earned that with all the years i have been alive and participating in my own living needs. I enjoy working. Earning my keep. As one might say. I am proud of the fact that I still can. Ok Dollar General. Let me know if I can help. And thank you...

I can’t believe this store.

Every day it’s disorganized, with boxes stacked all around and down the aisles, and the customer service is the rudest I have ever experienced. While there are some nice people, most of the people working here are unprofessional and disrespectful to say the least and seem to have no idea on how to even run a store or manage their own equipment. There are hardly ever any employees to be found around the store and they struggle with checking customers out yet won’t allow them to use self checkout. Apparently they would rather check a customer out at the self checkout themselves with their back to the customer rather than using one of the two empty cashier counters. (Isn’t that what those are there for?!) Then, when you get frustrated by the lack of service and- get this- the fact that you have to even ask the cashier to move out of your way so you can pay as they expectantly tell you what your total is… then they kick you out of the store without allowing you to pay as they chastise you about how rude YOU were to THEM. This store is unbelievable and I don’t understand why a business should be allowed to operate is such a lousy and apathetic way. One thing’s for sure: if they’re good at anything, it’s how to make their customers...

I mostly shop here for the things I need daily such as vitamins and my juice favorites. Can't afford these in regular stores they cost sometimes double or triple in other shopping venues. But Dollar General keeps these items stocked up at their reduced prices. Almost all vitamins or cold medicines are kept around the $5. Price limit. That's Great for my budget. And my juice comes in cartons or cans. $1.25 or $1. For cans. I live on these! I'm 70 can't travel a lot anymore so this is nice and close to home. About a mile away. Thanks for getting here dollar general. Their phones are all reasonable priced too on average about $60. Can't beat that. They have smaller packaging but it's nice to afford what I do...
