Dollar General — Local services in Elwood

This store is convenient and has a decent selection with reasonable prices. The employees are friendly but it seems under- staffed at times. They are never cranky about having to stop cleaning the store or stocking the shelves to go up front to ring up sales, but it has to be a pain to stop one task to do another task since they probably have plenty of assignments to complete depending on their shifts. The store is usually neat but on occasion there is an area that needs to be straightened, but I'm guessing that's because some shopper has gone through and been careless, and not because the employees are not keeping the place clean. The restroom is clean and the carts work well. Prices are pretty comparable to other discount stores and they stock the essentials so they most likely have what you need. It's just too bad they don't carry meats...

Changing my review from when the store first opened. First of all do not do the DG pickup thing. They hardly ever get pick up orders at this store and they didn't even know I ordered through the app so mine wasn't even ready at the appropriate time and the app is not connected to the store so they were out of a few things. In the store did seem like they were out of a few things and it was a regular Tuesday during the week. The employees that are currently working there are okay but nowhere near as nice as the ones that worked there in the years past. The employees in Manhattan store are much nicer and the store seems more well stocked than Elwood so I will drive the extra mile or two just...

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE Will never shop there again.... I was waiting in line and a cashier was helping someone and there was a old guy in front of me. A second cashier walked up and started organizing something behind the counter. A white couple walked up behind me and the second cashier says hey Mr. & Mrs. So and so ... come on, let me ring you guys up.... me and the old guy infront of me just look like why didnt you help one of us... then Mrs... So and so says "I guess its who you know" and shrugs..... I didnt appreciate that.... I was spending money in there at least 3 times a week.... BAD...
