Stay away from this store, guys. Dollar General is known to be convenient, and somewhat thrifty. As you can see from my previous reviews, this Dollar General is often in disarray, but it it convenient. it has turned to be a little nasty. I've noticed there are some abandoned frozen items that have been defrosting on a shelf by the checkout for days now.
This store takes advantage of customers, though. It is deceiving when a store advertises coupons for very specific items on a very specific day... and customers shop for those very specific items in the timeframe...but cannot redeem the coupon due to store technical problems.
Dollar General is setup to allow customers to add digital coupons to their phone number in the store's app. Properly loaded and ready to checkout, this day the system would not allow me to enter my telephone number completely. We tried twice. The cashier finally smiled and asked if I had the Coupons on my phone so she could scan them, but of course...There is no barcode with this new way of doing things; coupons is linked to a phone number.
I was standing there with a couple of things I needed, but not necessarily my brand of choice, and there was a line behind me that I would not delay. However, it doesn't leave customers with a positive experience when the store steals $3 from them. I won't be back to this store shopping for gimmicks. Why should I, when I can drive an extra mile and a half and be at another DG? Bad deal. read more
