Dollar General

"Beware of purchasing gift cards at this location. MLK blvd in Bristol, TN . I attempted to purchase a $25 gift card for Draft kings she scanned it and i paid. She then said it didnt go through must be an error with cards or her system, a paper printed and i didnt think anything of it and finished buying other items on a seperate transaction as the lady told me i couldnt purchase other items on the same ticket as gift card. The $25 came out of account (i later realized) went back to store and the lady said to come back next day in the morning that she couldnt do anything with gift cards because of scams? which i couldnt come back next day in morning. Due to my work schedule. Seems fishy and i wont be back to this location as how it looks is the worker kept rbe receipt and giftcard and told me it didnt go through. My bank gave the money back and let me dispute the charge"

"The store is clean and the staff are very polite and respectful and seem to do their job. But the stores could use more organization and bigger announcements for the stuff that ends up selling for a penny sometimes. Alot of lower class people shop here because that's the closest store around at times and because hoping to save them some money so knowing about the items that are on sell out pennies could help them and their families."

"Not pleased with the interaction at all. The short woman with long blonde hair who was the only one at the register was unprofessional - Another associate walked in and said she would help get the line down and the woman at the register said, “I can get it down, just these last two customers were needy” - As I’m standing there at the checkout waiting to pay. Hire someone who is more sociable and someone actually willing to do their job they get PAID to do. People come here to buy things, that is the whole purpose of this store. And for the woman, maybe try working in a kitchen where you don’t have to interact with anyone, your lack of communication and demeanor suck."

"The store is very dirty and untidy. I went in on a Saturday evening to do some shopping. The store was way overcrowded and only two employees in the store. Children running rapid and one person was begging for money inside the store. It was very difficult to find any kind of item on the shelves because everything was thrown on the shelves and inthe floor. Took me 20 minutes to check out. The staff just acted like that they did not want to be there that day. I do not go into the store very often because nine times out of 10 there is panhandling going on outside in the parking lot. It’s too close to the Salvation Army homeless shelter. On various occasions you will find the homeless drinking alcohol and Hanging out in the parking lot. I do not recommend the store at all. It is the last time I will be shopping there."

"Lots and lots of merchandise on carts but the shelves are bare!! Ridiculous amount of time trying to get thru the aisles for all the big carts with merchandise on them in the way meanwhile 3 or 4 employees gathered near the registers! Can't make this stuff up, its best to just go to another one!"
