Dollar General Market — Local services in Polk City

This store has been a flagship store in the local community for many years, well until the publics opened early this year. This store served the community very well in how it was stocked and managed. This company made a gamble within the context of the publix arrival, they drastically changed the goods they carried and technically upgraded the payment transaction stations, in short self checkout etc which came with much confusion for this unsophisticated little town. Not suggesting we are less than, but there are virtues in simplicity that many of us upheld.

How many of us are looking to refresh our bathrooms and kitchen every day? With a population of just over 2,000 residents the market I suppose would be quite flat. There are every day products that are more deserving of shelf space, yet we see home goods, baskets and smily face rugs. Why? Ostentatious imagery? What for?

The next notable change is the self checkout machines that many of us abhor. It brings nothing but horror by the mere thought of tapping and clicking our way to oblivion, through a transaction which most of us are still struggling to understand.

This is a small town, and as with most small town it’s the personal interaction that truly counts. We like talking and dealing with people and each other as human being. Please do not rob us of these little societal perks, It is certainly important to us.

Come on DGI or whatever you call yourself, you can do better than this. Also please remember the little pittance you are paying your employees is a very small price to pay to maintain the bonds of our little community. We love our people and we like a stress free life, free from those darn swipers and tappers.

Get ride of those machines and put useful products back in the store. We need this, and there is enough to go around between Publix...

I went here because it looked like a huge Dollar General and I’ve never been to such a humongous Dollar General in my whole life. 😆 It is just super big almost like a mini Walmart and they have clothing, liquor, wine candy. I mean they also have food but there’s a lot of people working here there was like maybe 12 people working in stocking and moving things around and it’s like a busy busy market. 🪅Anything you want from shoes to socks to make up to all kinds of other pharmacy items they have it too. The parking is huge and is very convenient. Also, the people were nice. Oh my God I would give it a five but it’s just next to like a neighborhood that I’m not very familiar with so I was not really Sure😳

They also have bananas and fruits and they have some containers. They have meat products in it, but nowadays, I don’t really know what those meat products could be. I mean I don’t know honestly I don’t know even even though I do know that Florida has lots of cattle, but I don’t really know what they put in those meat item products anymore because that’s just the way I’ll be thinking sometimes I don’t. I don’t be knowing if I can...

There is a stalker that shops here who harasses anyone he can and if he thinks you are rude to him he will stalk you and damage ur vehicle. He has been banned from most stores in our area. Thats what has happened to me and the cameras only half work in the parking lot so if you are parked on the wrong side then the cops have nothing. I tried to address it with the rude condescending main manager Julianna and she treated me like a lying loser. So be careful of an evil man with a knife riding in a jazzy chair and a rude uncaring manager. Park on the side of rhe building that she parks her lexus on if you want to feel completely safe. I feel bad for the every other wonderful sweet caring employee that works there and has to come to that manager for help because He harrases the...
