| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75716984 United States04/03/2019 03:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dollar General is total garbage. The last time I went there, I bought a kitty litter scoop, and the piece of shit broke the first time I scooped a clump of cat pee. How the fuck do you sell something for this purpose that cannot even hold a few ounces? Quoting: FissionSurplus Since suing them would be pointless and a waste of time, I have the good fortune of not having to shop there. Rural folks don't have the same opportunity, unfortunately. That reminds me. I bought a 3 pack of flyswatters there. Turns out the swatter end was so rigid, it hardly works. Seems like the chinese factories making this shit don't even know what the item is supposed to be used for! You're better off using a thick rubber band to sling at them. |

You are so right. We barely have any stores left, except Walmart, Dollar General, a couple of clothing and grocery store, and of course Lowes and Home Depot...right next door to each other (meh.) Sad times indeed. :( |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 49357802 United States04/03/2019 03:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dollar General stores are the only American stores experiencing great success right now, besides perhaps dollar tree...they purchased hundreds of family dollar stores, opening over 900 new stores soon too...as I've watched their growth, I've also noticed their products going way downhill...their brand name toilet paper that compares to Scott toliet paper is now paper thin, like tissue paper...it's lead than half as thick as it once was...this is a brand new change. ...yet same price. Their mop I always buy breaks after just a few uses now, I live way out in the country and I'm very far from any other stores, so I don't have a choice but to shop there sometimes....their rexall brand vitamins in the yellow bottles are all fake. ....I have returned several of them...I wish we could do lab tests but they know poor people can't afford such things...they are ripping off poor and struggling people by the millions....this is how they thank us for being customers! Their quality of items are so low now that dollar tree , which is twenty miles away from me, is where I'm headed often. Pathetic ....they call this freedom and capitalism? And at a time when millions are homeless and jobless in America? I can guess the ethnicity of the people who own it....and I guarantee they dont use any of their shitty, fake products, either. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73149965 You need to start ordering online from Amazon! Cheaper and better quality. Only for now. As with all Monopolies when enough competition is wiped out prices go way up. Amazon is already beginning price increases. |

| janedoenut User ID: 73584726 United States04/03/2019 04:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I shop at DG occasionally because it's only 20 minutes away and the other options are a gas station or small grocery store. A slightly bigger town is an hour away. Every time I shop there I usually have something to return to DG next trip into town. I feel zero guilt returning shit products that break at first or second use. Don't toss that crap, they have a good return policy. Keep your receipt and hold them accountable. --- For frozen food people, you can get a far better quality from Schwans who delivers and they have a 50% off special right now.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77060897 United States04/03/2019 05:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have to watch out for their "sales", esp "buy one, get one free" sorts of things. Most of the time, you won't get the "deal" they offer. It happens so often, no way it's an "error", they just know people won't pay attention Also , avoid the frozen foods, I've seen workers there pick up hamburger patties that had been sitting out and warm and they put them back in the freezer. |

Wal-Mart is 25 miles away, too far. ..that's why d.g. is successful. ....there are many more of them....they are everywhere....even in tiny towns with a few hundred people |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73149965 Over the past 5 years, where I live, they have popped up everywere. I live in a tiny place, but 5 of them are here now. They closed our Family Dollar, so maybe they will reopen it as yet ANOTHER DG. I live in Arkansas, and the word is that they are attempting to take on Walmart. There is one Dollar Tree here, but about 40 minutes away, so I do not make it there very often. Thank you for this thread.  I feel you. ...I lived in fort Smith and van buren Arkansas. ... There was nothing much there then...except Asian gang bangers...I've lived in ten states now, mostly in the south, although I'm from Toledo ohio originally.I've slowly watched all the other stores disappear also...I'm 49, years ago there was variety and choices... |

Even brilliant people have to shop from time to time and well dammit! there's no good doom going on. I shop on eBay a lot - walking around a store is physically not great, so it's much easier buy things I might have to look for, on eBay. I also use Amazon, and Dollar Tree. We don't have a Dollar General in this area, and apparently that's a good thing.
