Dollar General Express in Midtown Atlanta... You must be this tall to ride this ride....
I am a freshly minted "former employee" of this thril ride of this market. So, lets begin with the admission that my review contains thoughts and feelings that have rolled downhill from Goodlettsville, TN and may have little or nothing to do with goings on in Atlanta, GA. Nows sit back, I need to lock this harness in place before you strat moving... oh shit.
So, my experiences as a customer we're generally good. Returning a purchase, provided you stick to the "A, B, C, 1, 2, 3" of DGX's rules is straightforward. Shopping is as one would expect. Easy in a clean and safe environment. This store does see higher than typical traffic from Atlanta's Downtown/Midtown homeless population. As a citizen who has both done work on local streets directly with this population AND hace myself lived through a rough patch and briefly suffered those same streets, I whish DGX would give some serious thought to how to better work with the local homeless as customers and less as the vagrants I have seen them be treated as by thes leadership at this location. Maybe DGX could add a paid security guard to sit at the door?
AT THIS MOMENT DGX in Midtown Atlanta sits at an inflection point. I'll be damned if the good lord himself didn't let the store catch fire. They are closed and as I understand it, remodeling with a grand re-opening date to soon be announced. Hopefully, the corporate folks will pay more than just lip service to customer loyal and friendly security. When it reopens hopefully they will have noodled out a way to both cut shoplifting and improve customer service.
Final thought, shop any Dollar General on Wednesdays (and keep the reciept) to get $5 off of $25 spent the following Saturday. It's a good little promotion. read more
