Dollar General — Local services in Mont Belvieu

I will boycott this store as long as the woman that was working around 5pm on 6-22-19 is still employed there. A lady that looked to be in her 70s was trying to pay for her items and was having problems with the card problems. The Dollar General employee told the lady very loud it's declined you don't have money in your account. Their were 2 other people infront of us waiting to check out and one behind us. The next in line guest asked the employee because there is 2 standing at the same register if she could open another register. I didn't her what she told him put he set his items down and walked out. The lady with the declined card is now looking for cash in her purse. The employee spoke very load again and said "Oh now you're going to pay in cash". The lady responded with "if I have enough or I can write a check". The employee response load enough for everyone to hear "we not going to be able to run your check". The lady is still looking thru her purse and started crying. My wife and I had enough of the employee and felt sorry for the lady. So my wife paid the $31 dollars, the employee then went to open the other register and checked out the guy behind us. Just icing on the cake for me. The lady infront of us was just shaking her head.

If this is the type of people Dollar General is going to employ then I will take my business elsewhere and would hope other residents in the community would...

While I personally hate "dollar stores" due to their misleading name and front of being a discount store, this location has been clutch many times for random things. I have gone here late in the evening to pick up children's chewable Motrin and Tylenol when my kids were sick as well as shampoo and conditioner when we ran out. With this location being open until 10pm, it has been an object of convenience many times. I am willing to pay up to 25% more for items if it means a quick trip here vs. a much longer drive to HEB or Walmart. The staff here are generally polite and helpful. The selection of necessities is very good, but sometimes it is fun to wander around looking for things I didn't know I "needed". Don't expect a bargain, basically ever, however their sales are very good if you time things right and look for coupons (which I don't). I would definitely miss this store if it were to close like the other one that...

I had shopped at this store for years and was pleased. However around the first of the year, I noticed that the store had degraded significantly. I asked if they had changed management or owner and the reply was “Yes”.

This place is a mess. Shelves are empty or cluttered, while carts of unstocked merchandise are all up and down the aisles. In addition their products are limited. I was looking for milk in the refrigerator section and was told that they don’t carry milk???

I now avoid this store at all cost. I suggest the new Dollar Store toward Beach City. That store is much neater with a better selection of products. Not only do they carry milk, eggs, etc…..they also carry Blue Bell ice cream! If you don’t live near the Beach City Dollar Store, then I would suggest that you try the one...
