Dollar General 1417 Harrison Avenue, Centralia, WA 98531

"Pretty decent place and a new location we go here for small items"

"Nothing ever seems to be in stock. Shelves are almost always bare in most departments. The staff is friendly which is nice. But lack of items usually has me going elsewhere."

"Absolutely pathetic, nobody in this store knows what they're doing, they have new people alone at registers. Employees with shirts unbuttoned and having their face buried in their phone. This is ridiculous. I enjoy shopping here but I have lost all respect for this place. Whoever is hiring these idiots needs to rethink what they're doing. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC."

"**edit on 8/13/23** The family (kids and parents) went in to grab a few things. Kids went to pay first, then parents paid. As we were paying, the kids beeped on the way out. The EMPLOYEE (who seems to hate his job, customers, and kids in general) tells Chris (the manager) that he only rang up.camdy for them, so they must be stealing from them. We get out to our kids and REAM them for shoplifting, had them in tears! Turns out that the employee WHO RANG THEM UP is a LIAR as well!! The 1st 2 items on my kid's reciept.... nails.... and guess what, those beeps on the way out. How sad of their employee!! VERY disappointed in the management and staff in this DG. We used to love going to this store! No crowds, could walk from home, and prices were the same or better than Walmart and Dollar Tree. However as of late, we will go out of our way to drive somewhere else when we used to go here every day almost. The new staff members in there now seem as though they do not want to work, are rude, and are disrespectful. When we went in there today (forgot an item elsewhere), there was nobody at registers. When they finally came up both were rude to customers in their tone and actions (in my opinion), then they did not know how to do many tasks in a line that kept growing. The manager was hard to get when they needed him up front. Then to top it off, one of the employees started gossiping and speaking badly of other employees!! Very rude and unprofessional in my opinion! There are now only 3 employees there worth a damn it seems. How sad."

"Biggest thing I like... It's slow. Safeway in Centralia is PACKED at all times. Staff is friendly and easy to talk with. Kind of surprised by the variety for such a small store. My first visit I got water, 2 pizzas, fresh strawberries, beer, wasp spray, and some medicine. Overall, I'm sold, I'll be back."
