Dollar General Market — Local services in Eton

Now this review was hard. Because this location is closest to my home so I'm here more than other locations but depending on the day, who is working, and what their stock is, my review can vary from 0 stars to 4 (maybe 5 on a miraculously good day). For now, I'll do 4 and ONLY because their morning manager saved the day last time I was there. First, let me advise you: do self checkout. If you're in a hurry, or don't have an hour to stand in a very slow line, do self checkout. Their cashiers are likely overwhelmed and underpaid, same as their managers, so I'm sure they have a reason for being slower than molasses in winter time when it comes to running that one register that's open. Never have I ever seen more than 1 register running here. Just do self checkout. Don't expect the stock to be up to par. This location never has the staples I need. I quit going for that. I can go to town for those items and get out of the grocery store and their atrocious self checkout just as fast. This location is building their shelves back up lately it seems. The things that are bad about this place are beyond the employees' control and a chain problem. So, I gotta thank the super nice manager for helping me the other day. I used an EBT card to pay for my family member's items and it still showed I owned 3¢. I had NO cash on me. She generously swiped her debit card for 3 FREAKING CENTS and I am grateful and forever appreciative of it because most people don't care and wouldn't have done that. So thanks to her and DG needs to keep people like this rather than run them off. I cannot fathom they keep building new ones every corner and their staff is already drowning for very little pay. Do better...

Don't get me wrong, I love this Dollar General Market. Which says a lot, do to the b.s. that I endured working for a Dollar General in Southeast Georgia. This store is huge! Biggest one I have seen, and the workers are super friendly. The reason I gave it four stars is because it says it was updated by the business to close at 11:00 p.m., however, that is not the case. I went there tonight to grab something and asked a worker as I walked in at 9:56 p.m., "What time do you close?" I just wanted to check to see if it matched the time on Google. Remember: Google states that the business updated the hours two weeks ago. He replied, "In 4 minutes." So there you have it. They do not keep their listings on Google up to date. As a marketing major this is a bit...

This store and other Dollar Generals in this area are not good at keeping track of what's on sale and what items are supposed to be discounted. We have tried to buy items on multiple occasions that were supposed to be on sale but when the cashier rung up our purchase charged us full price instead, and every time we complain and tell them the item is supposed to be on sale they always say something obtuse like "oh, that sale ended last week" or something like that. Well ok, if the sale is over then take down the signs, take the items off the table that says clearance if they aren't discounted. I wouldn't leave a 1 star review for something like this usually but it has happened so many times I think...
