- Back way back when they first opened, I bought a water hose. Came home, hooked it up and it exploded. Split a hole all down the side. Wrapped it back up and took my receipt, and the package, and went to get my refund. Only to accused of buying a water hose, and putting an old one in the pack, “just to get my money back.” I was livid. Cussed the woman from here to Alabama, grabbed my stuff and left. Went to the other Dollar General in McDonough, and that lady had called every store around us, telling them someone was trying to return a used water hose. The manager I talked to had good sense and realized how crazy psycho woman was, and gave me my money back.
- Went in to buy something (can’t even remember what) of course ended up picking up a couple of things. Walked out of the store with the bags. Got home, realized the main thing I needed, wasn’t in my house now, or in my car. Checked my receipt, I had bought it. Went back and told them what happened. That manager also accused me of stealing, and there was nothing he could/or would do.
- The time I went in and the kid behind the counter decided it would be hilarious to make a joke about the pads I was buying, in front of my son. Because all mothers and sons just love to joke about “that” ya know.
- The time the girl turned the lights off when I was in the store, before it was time, and told me hahaha, that’s my get out people switch. oh my hehe
- The time, that I needed 4 batteries, and saw they were $3.96 on sale, but when I got to the register, they were really $8.00. And I was the bitch for saying, uh no I’m not spending 8 dollars on batteries. Poor guy had to void out a sale, I’m sure that was alot of pressure. I walked back to look at the battery price to see what was going on. And of course the ones that were REALLY on sale, were 3 shelves down, to the right. And I was the idiot for not realizing the tag was in the wrong place. Stupid me! But I politely ripped that price tag off, and gave it to the manager, who I’m sure put it back in the wrong spot.
- The time I saw a woman in a wheel chair, about my age, that I see in our community all the time. She was a fool like me, and grabbed 2 bags of chips that had the sale price listed (she did not know the 3 shelves down, and to the right trick either, I think she learned that day.) The lays were not on sale crazy lady! The cheetos and cheese puffs are! No way are we taking that dollar off for you. Instead we are going to watch you roll and manuveur through our too small aisles to prove to you we are right, and the ones you grabbed are not on sale. Of course the sale price was ON the lays shelf, but actually pertained to the 3 shelves down......I about gave her the dollar my damn self.
- All the times I pull in and the line is a mile line, there are 20 workers and one running a register.
- And last night, when I again forgot the Dollar General game of trick the shopper with the wrong sale price. And I grabbed my 2 boxes of Lucky Charms and one box of Frosted Flakes. The sale price read 3 for $6.00. I got to the register, total was way more than I thought....so I checked my receipt when I was leaving. I’ll be damned if I didn’t just pay $9.00 for cereal, I went back in, the girl said refund, I said yep. No why, no I’m sorry, no what happened, nothing. Oh she did hand me $9.00 and said I owe you 12 cents. And then stood there. I said ok, I’ll wait here.(I think I was supposed to say, oh don’t worry about it!) So of course, I parked my buggy at the front of the store with Taylor. Walked to the cereal aisle to see what I did wrong. Read the sale tag.....and looked down 3 shelves to the right, of course.
