My wife loves Dollar General! She's a shut-in and anytime she can go out she picks Dollar General. So it surprised me when I walked into the store, same type of stores we've been in before my wife didn't come with me this time I'm on a traveling trip. I was searching for some things was in the store about 10 minutes went over the intercom I hear please put your merchandise down the cops are on the way it was a recording. Now I happen to know there were only three of us in the store a lady my wife's age and a young lady that just entered plus myself. Since I wasn't stealing I continued and found my self at the register along with the middle-aged lady. The recording was for her she was severely embarrassed. Her statement to them was I am not stealing why would you do that. She continued to purchase $140 worth of stuff. As I got to the counter to pay for my stuff, I said my wife shops Dollar General and I would not send her to the store to suffer this humiliation. The store managers response was would you rather us close the store. As it was the middle-aged lady do it in the pantry way and waited for the officers to come she wanted to State her case. The officer came in and the store manager said false alarm. I have never been in a store that would ward off good customers for the bad. Please do something about this. The manager stated that they have had people come in and try to burn this door and that's why she put those things up. If you are shopping over a certain amount of minutes in the store they consider you a thief. I really don't get the concept but I know my wife used to do security in a major store and the number one sign of theft in the store by employees is a messy store and this certainly is one of the messiest Dollar Generals I have seen. Please educate this manager I believe it is the wrong type of manager for this area. Thank you for your time. read more
