Dollar General — Local services in Town of Plattsburgh

Here's a fun fact about Dollar General: they specifically choose low income and poor communities to build new locations, it's not at all a sign of your area "developing," it's a diagnosis that your community is poor and about to be leeched off of by this chain. There is no excuse as to why they have dedicated row after row of refrigerated coolers for beer, but they can't dedicate even one rack to fresh produce (FRESH produce is not FROZEN). This directly contributes to the "food deserts" found in every poor community across America. The only thing you "save" by shopping at one of these stores is time that would be spent driving "into town," but I assure you, it's worth the extra miles to get the actual low prices at Aldi's or Walmart. Dollar stores prey on low income families. The only time prices are "lower" is because the portion is also lower. What would cost $3 for 16 ounces at Walmart is "conveniently only $2.75" at DG because you're also only getting 12 ounces (less product). It's important to pay attention to these marketing and packaging ploys, but for low income families there is no other "choice." That's why they're leeches. This specific location is like any other. You have a problem that you bring up to a manager and it's blamed on the employee being "new" or you're told "what do you want me to do about it?" I don't know, maybe your job as manager should be correcting issues and addressing your customers with dignity and respect? These stores are a plight on our communities. They are the rash that inevitably comes...

I used to go to this store just about everyday. Not anymore. They way the management there is awful. The way she talks about her employees to customers is unbelievable. the way she runs people down that has left there is something else. Because this store is gossip center of Cadyville. One day I was in the store the manager comes running in announcing she was late because she started her period on the way to work. Sorry but the customers don't need to no that. I have called corp. office 3 times and nothing was ever done. Half of the time you can't even get thru the isles it's packed with stuff. Its dirty, not organized. She also told me why the last manager [ a guy} left there. This was to be hushed up. All of Cadyville knows now. A few times her employees tried to get a hold of her because of problems at the store and they couldn't get a hold of her. And if you think she works her required hours, she doesn't. She will call in one of her works and leave early. If you want proof talk to all of the employees that left there, they will tell you the truth. She also told me she has the district manager right where she wants him. In her back pocket. I will drive a few extra miles to get my items I need and to be treated with some...

Cashiers are never really anywhere to be found during checkout and the shelves are in disarray most of the time ,there is no milk or bread alot of the time .But it's the only local store in cadyville so I will continue to go there . Parking lot looks worse than the local dump with trash blowing around the store and never being cleaned up. Cashiers usually emitting body odor and bad attitudes...
