Dollar General — Local services in Daingerfield

Found mostly what was looking for. Had not been in that DG for some time. At least 8 months. Even though there were stocking carts waiting for attention scattered around the store, it was difficult to move a cart up and down the isles. Plus, many of the isle displays were messy and undesernable. There were abandoned hand-carry baskets on the isle floors, some with half used items in them. Because of all of the isle blockage, I didn't feel safe in the store.

When I was walking towards the check out I stepped on a wrapper from an item, that I assumed had been shop lifted, it stuck to the of my shoe. Gross. It was at this moment I though, there is truly something wrong about this place.

When I got to the cashier. He was getting a counseling/up-date from (I assume) the Manager. She told him about sales stats, number of people in the lines per profit, waiting times for customers, basically how to sell and keep the store open!!!! Joking that she never took a full break, and, of course, neither did he! I was in the USAF for 26 years and would have Never talked to one of my "Workers" in front of the Customers in that way. There was no privacy involved in their face to face, and no way for him to reply to her comments in an honest way. She was wrong for doing her counseling that way (make time for quiet one on one!), and mostly his fault for allowing her to do it while he was working with customers.

When checked out I asked him if this store was always this Sloppy, he said No.

When I left the store two customers thanked he for speaking up. And, another walked by my vehicle giving me a stare. I'd seen her and the cashier talking before she exited the store. To the cashier, grow up/suck it up and fix the problem. To the Manager, think about the correct way to do your job. Just checking the boxes is not being the Boss.

I'll continue to shop Dollar General, just not this...

There is a heavy set Caucasian lady there that is out right racist! She encourages her staff to be the same. I don't like sending my children there. One day after a basketball game, I sent my 16 year old and his basketball team mate into the store for some door racks. Soon as they turned up an isle, I saw her dashing in full sprint behind them! Neither would have stolen out the store! I got out the car very offended. I'm a large woman tall and stout. She disappeared, but I was sure to let her and the employee behind the counter know just how upsetting the entire scene was! If it wasn't so close to my house, I wouldn't shop there EVER! When I can get to Family Dollar, that's what I do. I only go there when I absolutely have to. A fight comes with picking on my oldest son! He's the humbled person I've ever known, and I'll defend him with everything I have and can muster as a...

This place is a disaster! The worst I've ever been to as a matter of fact. Products on the shelves are not fronted or even made to look nice. Half the stuff you go in looking for is either out or still on carts located throughout the store in the isles there's trash and whatnot on the floors it's really a nasty store. The employees there are nice and cordial but do not get in any hurry if they've got a line 15 people long or even call for a second cashier to help. I stood in line for 25 minutes just to buy a quart of oil and I would had left and just bought it somewhere else if I hadn't already stood there for 15 minutes then I felt why leave now I've been here this long. Ya know?! I try to avoid this store as much as possible even driving to the next town if I have too just so I don't have to go there. Again the employees are great but that store in...
