God, I love hole in the wall discount stores! On the outside it might look like a regular…read moreconvenience store! But on the inside there's so much to look at and find! It's way bigger on the inside than it looks. Plentiful amounts of merchandise, and the owners (I think) are very friendly and polite. The guy who cashed me out almost gave me the incorrect amount of change back and when I politely pointed it out, he seemed sort of embarrassed, but remained calm and thanked me. I bought a bandana, a Du-Rag, and a black hand towel for my bathroom which I had been looking for, for a little bit now. The prices are pretty decent, seeing as how I'd be more inclined to visit a place like this versus a Dollar Tree. There's just something special about these types of places that you don't get at the corporate stores. The Gold Stars Gift Store is a highly underrated gem in Pawtucket. Don't be intimidated by the outside, come on in and you'd be surprised to find something for your house or yourself. It's like a corner store, dollar store, jewelry store, and more mixed into one. Cool place! Would definitely recommend you check it out! :)

On the outside this shop looks rather small, but on the inside you will see that it's fairly…read morelengthy with an assortment of cheap goodies; everything from hair accessories, makeup, jewelry, hats, pajamas/slippers and lingerie, to bags, and beauty products, a small selection of toys and school supplies... really, a great random assortment of things here. The main attractions (esp. if you're a girl) are really when you walk in-- your eyes draw you straight to the load of hairclips and headbands. If you're like me and "uber kawaii hipster fob" styles entice you then I have to say this place is for you. Okay, back to talking about the hairclips, the ones they carry here are the exact same styles that I buy from a little shop on Thayer called Details for $10 each. (I know what you're thinking, who the hell buys hairclips for $10 a pop? Well I'm one of those crazies. Anything that shines and sparkles and makes me tune into my inner child I just can't resist. It's a sickness really, but I think we all have our weaknesses). ;) Anyways, back to the review. Since Halloween is later this month, my search for wigs was what really brought me to this place. I was looking for a nice long blonde wig for a potential Alice costume and sadly the only selection they carry are brunette wigs. Lovely nonetheless, but nothing really costume-y. A plus for the wigs ranging from $20-30. I did ask the merchant about their limited selection on wigs and his response was understandable. (because lighter colored wigs don't sell well). Oh and they have a nice selection of jewelry, nail polishes, yet smaller selection of makeup. As far as clothing goes I did see a few pajama styles I thought were cute, though I gave up when I tried looking for smalls. Besides hair accessories I did buy a makeup palette and a really cute knitted beanie. Again, similar to a style of hat I bought at another store on Thayer, kinda like UO (forget the name of it) that sells over-priced new vintage-looking clothing. That hat I bought for $30 (yes $30 for a disposable knit hat?! Yesh tell me about it) I ended up buying this similar looking one for $4. Cons about this place would probably be due to the fact that their stock is so random. Anything you find here they probably would have limited duplicates for. I guess for some that might be a pro, esp. if you like unique finds. I guess overall as far as shopping experience goes, organization could be better. It's not bad, but I think it has a lot more potential. And as far as stock goes would love to see them expand their selection of shoes, purses (preferably lower the prices), makeup, and wigs! All in all I'm satisfied with my purchases, for the prices at this shop you can't complain. For as long as I like uber fobby/kawaii goodies I'm going to keep checking back at this place for sure. :)

One lady asked if she could help me look for something and even though they didn't have what I needed in the gardening section she did look with me. Another lady I had a question for in the essentials section did help me clear up a pricing question. The young lady that cashed me out was sweet. The prices range but everything I purchased was reasonable priced some at a lower price than the dept stores. There is plenty of parking

For example, EVOO is very cheap. We normally spend upwards of $15-$20 on EVOO at Stop & Shop, Whole Foods as well as other places and it's $5.99 here for the same volume...how?!? I know what you're thinking, the quality is trash, but you'd be wrong. We did some research on what we bought and whether there are any additives and it checks out. I can't say that this is the case for all items, but worth a try to save some mula. This store looks like it's well taken care of. It's clean, organized and the staff here are great. There's not too much wrong I see here and we will continue to come regularly. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

Went there today he's in the isle cleaning up, then holler out to the cashier, NO BACKPACKS ALLOWED! Said something about, he finding stolen stuff on shelves! Found a $32 dollar skillet, or some shit! If ya found it on the shelf, They didn't steal it! And he said,"I don't like ya'll!" Ya might wanna go find another profession! Ya not ready to manage Dollar General! Tell them to leave in the front if they don't want to, they can't come in! Really? He thinks he coming in cleaning up General Dollar, New Manager in Town! Why he's telling employees now! Should have discussed this in a meeting! He Thinks he's the best thing that could have happened to General Dollar! And he makes it known while shopping, checking out, all at the registers talking shit! I just wanna shop and go home! He's gonna be the cause of employees getting hurt, while trynna doing their jobs! Hey Mr New Manager,Dollar General ever thought about security officer at the front door? Lately everytime I go in their New Manager at the front, isles, talking about how he gonna make Dollar General Better, and you been Managing since when?

I was trying to use a digital coupon in which for some reason it wasn't going through the system and it was on my phone. The first two times they told me I got the wrong items but they were clearly marked with the little tags that said the item and if they were part of the deal. I went back three times. I asked for help. They said that there was nothing that they could do. No one was willing to help me at all. It was very frustrating cause this has been the fourth time I've been in the store to get the sale items and nobody gave a damn at all. It was near closing and they were telling me I need to leave and that somebody had to go pick up their kid, in this problem was not their problem. I work in customer service and if I ever treated anybody like this or didn't try to resolve the problem or even help someone. Why do I even have a job? I would get in trouble. You have one job and I was there four times and nobody was willing to help me a little bit.
