      On 11/25/2025, I gave a cashier named REMOVEDon REMOVED$530 to load onto my Cash App card. The money was taken, but the deposit of $530 was input wrong I only received $430 deposit. The store manager counted the cashiers drawer and confirmed it was short $100, which matches the amount I was missing from my deposit. The manager claimed video showed nothing and offered no resolution.I contacted corporate and was told the store would contact me within REMOVEDand the issue remains unresolved.I am requesting a refund of the $100 that was taken from me. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this directly with the company with no success.

      I am writing to report a concerning incident that occurred at the Dollar General location in REMOVED, REMOVED. I witnessed this firsthand and feel it needs to be addressed to ensure respectful treatment of all customers, especially elderly individuals.On 11/25 at 2:45pm I was standing directly behind my elderly grandfather at the REMOVED. He was purchasing tobacco products when the cashier (Female) asked for his REMOVED. My grandfather immediately pulled out his wallet and showed her his REMOVEDclearly. In response, the cashier said in a rude and dismissive tone, Nope, you have to take it REMOVEDgrandfather explained that other Dollar General locations allow the cashier to type in the birthdate without requiring elderly customers to physically remove the REMOVEDcard. The cashier refused and repeated that he needed to take it out. Because removing the REMOVEDfrom his wallet is physically difficult for him, he chose to walk out.What happened next was even more concerning. As I was being checked out, the cashier and another employee began openly talking about my grandfather in front of me and other customers. A Male employee asked, Is he being a jerk again? and they continued making comments about him. The cashier then said, He can take it up with corporate, all while knowing I was his family member.The entire interaction felt disrespectful, unprofessional, and unnecessary. My elderly grandfather is clearly well over 21, and regardless of REMOVEDpolicy, there is no excuse for employees to speak rudely to a customer or make negative comments about them in front of others.I am requesting that this matter be addressed with the employees involved and that the store is reminded of appropriate customer service standards, especially when dealing with elderly (Veteran) individuals who may need extra patience and respect.Thank you for taking the time to review this. I hope steps can be taken to ensure situations like this do not happen again.Sincerely,REMOVED

      I had a fall on 9/6/2025 at store located at REMOVED. I was contacted by adjuster REMOVED. He advised me that he would need to review the incident recording and would be back in touch with me. After a couple weeks I reached back out to him and he advised me that the tape had been reviewed and that once I was completed with my treatment and ready to settle to send all of my medical documents and bills via fax. I faxed all of the documents on or around 11/10/25. I called Mr. REMOVEDto see if the documents were received and if there was anything else that was needed from me. He has not returned my call , I have also left several messages for his supervisor and still have not received a call back.

      I spoke with REMOVEDon Monday and asked what messages did he leave or what phone did he call . He left no messages on my phone , but we spoke briefly about my claim . He then gave me an offer and I denied that one , after reviewing the medical bills that were sent to him , there were a couple he left out . I then called him back and he seemed to find one of them but is still disputing paying for the first bill which was over 9k. I called the hospital to confirm if he was correct and was told that he was not and that I am still responsible for the bill due to this being an injury at dollar general my insurance is refusing to cover the bill . Therefore dollar general is responsible for paying this bill . I called him back several times and left several messages with no response from him .

      I have been calling since halloween trying to resolve an issue with a product I purchased from them. Every time I am told the district manager will call you back within 24 hours and they have yet to call me!!! I purchased chocolate from them and it was WHITE. Not slightly discolored but disgusting and white. I contacted REMOVEDwho stated the product was stored improperly and to contact the store where i purchased it. They simply refuse to contact me and stand behind their product. I have pictures of the disgusting product they think was acceptable to give to children.

It took SEVEN phone calls to their supposed customer service to receive a call back from the district manager nearly a month later!!!! He denied there was an issue with the product which I offered to send him the pictures. He said he didn't need them. Clearly he could not care less about this issue.

      The digital coupon team does not respond to complaints/inquiries. I sent an email on 11-2-25 (see below pic) requesting a refund of coupon errors. They used to send gift card for redemption amounts. Now their website will not even allow a complaint to be filed, so I can only send an email to which there was no response. Dollar General did block my IP address for a while causing issues as well, but I can at least still shop using my phone. The advertised price was on the shelf at $9.00 for REMOVEDsoft. I was charged $12.35. I also had a digital coupon of $1.40 to which only .40 was taken off. The outstanding difference is $4.35.

      Thank you for notifying us of the complaint from our customer regarding concerns he has communicating with our us regarding his digital account.

      Upon receipt of this complaint, we partnered with a REMOVEDSpecialist and were advised:

      They received the customers email on 11/2 and responded on 11/10 asking for more coupon information. The team has not received a response.
      On 11/2 our customer purchased Angel REMOVED16 Mega Roll.
      The SAVE $1.40 off any ONE (1) package of Angel REMOVEDBath Tissue, 8 Mega Roll coupon was clipped to his account. However, it did not apply as the customer purchased 16 Mega Roll.
      The SAVE $2.00 off any One (1) package of Angel REMOVEDBath Tissue, 16 Mega Rolls coupon was valid at the time of the purchase. However, the customer did not clip the coupon until 11/8. Six days after the purchase.
      The item is normally $12.35 but was on sale for $11.95. That is the $.40 Discount the customer sees on the receipt.

      In addition, to address another of the customers complaint, REMOVEDdoes not block IP addresses.

      We apologize to our customer for any coupon application confusion we and believe this matter has been appropriately investigated and addressed. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

      I am rejecting this response because: No email was ever received as a response to my inquiry. There is a plentiful history of coupon errors and emails addressing them in the past. As stated in the complaint. Dollar General was very good about fixing errors early on, but since my IP address was blocked, I can not even enter any information on their website. I can only contact them via email. I do not know why I did not receive an alleged response on the 10th.

Yes I did approach the associate at the counter and they were busy lined up with five people so they could not help me and would not. The REMOVEDsoft tag on the shelf said $2 discount which made it $9 and I had a $1.40 off digital coupon. Only $0.40 was taken off.

      This is simply NOT what happened. I have included the first Dollar General response to the complaint and the original receipt.

      "Dear Ms. REMOVEDstyle="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: proxima-nova, Verdana, sans-serif;">

      The item is normally $12.35 but was on sale for $11.95. That is the $.40 Discount the customer sees on the receipt."


      The facts are these:  The shelf tag stated a $9 sale price for the item purchased, NOT $11.95.  The discount of .40 was only applied as a store discount, NOT a digital coupon. It is possible that the $1.40 coupon did not apply here, however the $3 difference is not even addressed by the response. The $2.00 coupon is not in dispute, and was clipped for a later purchase. It was the $9 shelf tag not applied on site, and no manager was available to solve the issue on site as I stated, or we would not even be having this conversation.  $12.35 - $9.00 = $3.35 I will concede the $1 difference on the coupon. That leaves a refund of $3.35.  Consider why I would make any of this up to pursue such a trivial amount. It is the principle of the matter, which I have already stated in my complaint that Dollar General has a long history of violating coupons and deal offers. I have sent over a dozen complaints in 2025 alone, most of which were handled and refunded correctly.

      Dollar General REMOVEDI went to the Dollar General 11-3-25 at 3:37 pm and Bought an 18 pack of REMOVEDLight it was stated on the door Price Break $11.95 but I was charged $15.50 with a total of $16.59. I spoke with the cashier and she stated that she had to get the manager. The manager came up and said oh they tried to take the sticker off but they only removed half of it. I stated no there is a big sign on the door, and took a picture of it. I have emailed Dollar General with no response with pictures of receipt and signs. The price is a $5 difference.

      I am so tired of the Dollar General digital coupons not working. I hardly shop there anymore because of this. They put coupons in the app but when you get to the store they wont work. I even tried using it online this time. Then you have to call them and its not worth the amount of time you have to spend on the phone with them. Then you have to wait several weeks for them to mail you a Dollar General gift card that you cant use coupons with because they dont work. This has been going on for years and Im done with it.

      Dear Ms. REMOVED
      Thank you for notifying us of the complaint from our customer regarding her digital coupon account.
      Upon review of the account information and consultation with one of our digital specialistswe were unable to locate a Same Day Delivery order associated with our customers account. If she has an order confirmation or screenshot showing this, we would like her to please share it so we can review further.
      We also confirmed our customers in-store purchase on 11/17, the day after this complaint was submitted, where one item was adjusted from $11 to $1 as a courtesy.
      Regarding the Dove coupon, the offer was:
      Buy ONE (1) Dove Men+Care 30oz or Axe 32oz, Get ONE (1) Dove 20oz+ Body Wash 50% Off, of equal or lesser value (excludes Dove 11oz Body Wash, Trial &Travel).
      Based on this, it appears the coupon may not have applied as expected due to the specific product requirements.
      In addition, our customers should be able to use a gift card to pay for an in-store purchase where coupons have been used.
      If our customer has any additional documentation or questions, we respectfully request she reach out to our REMOVEDteam via the REMOVEDon our web site and we will be happy to review further. Our goal is to ensure our customers have a clear understanding of the offers and policies, so they enjoy the best possible experience.
      We are confident this matter was appropriately addressed and resolved. Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention.
      Sincerely,

      I made a an internet order for delivery. The order was cancelled the next day by dollar general and a refund of $34.95 was given. My order and the amount taken from my account was $45.63 so I contacted them by phone to let them know I was owed the difference of $10.68. I was told that my claim would be looked into and within 23 hours I would receive an email. I did not receive any email. They did take the refund of $34.95 from my account. I just suspected that they took it back until they could verify my claim but they didnt. I called them back 3 times finally I was told I would get an email that day. The email said that the $34.95 was because some of the items I ordered were out of stock. That makes no difference because I was still charged $45.63 for everything that I ordered. So now since they took back there incorrect initial refund of $34.95 I have not been refunded nothing. I want every REMOVEDI was charged $45.63 refunded. I have my bank records to prove my claim.

      Case #REMOVEDCustomer: REMOVED

      Dear Ms. REMOVED

      Thank you for notifying us of the complaint from our customer regarding a Same Day Delivery (SDD) order placed on 11/9 to be delivered 11/10.

      Upon receipt of this complaint, we reached out to a REMOVEDSpecialist who advised:

      Our customer placed a SDD order on 11/9 to be delivered on 11/10.
      When the order was shopped by the dasher on 11/10 several of the items were out of stock. The customers total went from $45.63 to $34.95.
      The order was then cancelled around 2-3 hours later by REMOVEDand the customer was refunded $34.95.
      The $45.63 was a preauthorized hold for when the order was placed. This generally falls off 3-7 business days but will always depend on the customers banking institution.
      This information was conveyed to our customer on 11/12. Our customer did not agree with response.
      As the $45.63 was only a preauthorized hold the customer would not see this refunded on their statement. The hold would just fall off.
      Dollar General has verified our customer was not charged $45.63 and a refund of $34.95 was issued.
      Customers order was refunded Monday 11/10 the day before the Veterans Day holiday so the first business day would have been Wednesday 11/12.
      Customer should see the refund of $34.95.
      If our customer still does not see the $34.95 refund, we respectfully suggest she reach out to her banking institution.

      We apologize to our customer for any inconvenience and believe this matter has been appropriately investigated and addressed. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 24138483

       This matter has been resolved but I do not agree with this statement made by REMOVED.  When I called  originally about the refund price difference I was told to call back in 24 hours if I didnt see a correct refund. I called DG back 2 days later because it was a holiday the day after because it wasnt corrected and the original refund taken from my account all together.  Only then was I told that the $45.?? would be corrected to $35.?? And the refund of $35.?? would be issued.  I told them I have been disconnected 3 times and I just need this nightmare resolved and that I would give it another couple of days.  Your (DGs) response to my complaint seems to put the blame on me.  I dont understand why you (DG) didnt deliver any of the items I ordered if only a couple were out of stock. I am so glad this has been resolved and I or no one I know will make the mistake I made of trusting DG in there bank account.  If you all hadnt taken away the original refund it wouldnt have looked so shady.  Blame yourselves and your way of doing business not your customers.
