Dollar General,

525 Eastern Blvd, Essex, MD 21221, United States

"Is incorrect when you go at 8 AM in the morning no one is there and if you try to show up by the time they close they’re always closing early"

"This store is always closed during business hours… can’t go a full week without being close 3 out of the 7 days. Plus they close early almost everyday. Try a different location to avoid disappointment."

"Thank you DG for bringing in a new Manager. I visit the Eastern Blvd location at least twice a week for the past year. And Tiffany has turned this store around in the past two months. Tiffany is doing an amazing job"

"My father and I were shopping for my friends birthday and for a few little things for around the house. We didn’t grab a basket since we expected to just be able to carry everything by hand. Once things started piling up, we started putting our items into the bag we were going to buy, to save a trip to the front of the store. When we were looking at hand soaps, a lady who worked there, uncomfortably stood next to us for around a few minutes or so. When she left she did not say excuse me or anything as she zipped past me. She came back a few seconds later and said “did you guys pay for that” as we were still shopping, of course I said no. We wanted to save the trip from going to get a whole cart or basket for just a few items when we had a bag (from the store that we were going to buy) and just use it for the few items we had instead of struggling to carry it in our hands. She then started yelling and speaking very loudly about us to the entire store and quite frankly it was humiliating. I was just trying to buy my friend a gift for their birthday. As we were in line to pay she was yelling about how there are baskets and carts and nobody needs to be using a bag and causing a big scene when we were just trying to pay. We did not say anything to her and were ignoring her, as she obviously spoke about us. I do not think we did anything wrong honestly. I don’t know who would steal from a store like Dollar General, especially a teenage daughter and father pair, but oh well. I am still a minor and I may be a little sensitive but I was about to start tearing up. She was unnecessarily rude for accusing us. We have been going to this store for years to pick up little household things, as we live a minute away. In the recent months this place has really changed, being closed on random days and times. I never thought that I would’ve experienced something so humiliating at this store. This store is often a mess but we still go. Our cashier was very kind but, I cannot say the same about other employees at this store. This happened just a few hours ago and we are hispanic if that is any factor. I don’t ever complain or post reviews for stuff but I feel so awful being treated like a criminal and being mocked and spoken about like that. I have never posted a negative review about anywhere but this was insane and I needed to share it with people other than my friends."

"This is like the worst store ever. The manager apparently disappears for days or weeks and is never there. They don't have enough staff so half the time people just don't show up for work and they close at random times. Apparently they just started putting up signs to tell people that they're closed. I used to walk up to the door and find it locked all the time."
