Dollar General 1216 Garland Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72703

"Being somewhat generous with three stars because I've never had an outwardly horrible experience here. It's just overall subpar and a ton of little inconveniences. Anything in the freezer aisle is at serious risk of being rotten. On more than one occasion I've had milk and frozen food be spoiled despite not being past expiration, I'm guessing improper storage/handling. Staff is a mixed bag. There's some super friendly workers and some super abrasive ones. They all seem overworked regardless. Inventory is largely fine. They're well stocked around holidays (for every occasion) and have a decent amount/variety of staple foods as well. I have seen spilled food on shelves and especially disorganized, hard to decipher areas of the store. It's gotten better in that regard though. Overall, below average even for Dollar General, but fine in a pinch."

"This Dollar General location is absolutely disgusting. It smells like mold, is very disorganized, isn’t clean, and the shelves aren’t full with product, as well as rotated properly. Tonight I went to get a few things and when I got home and opened the can of cream of chicken, it was completely molded. Corporate needs to do better."

"I called early asking if we can grab some boxes for moving. I used to work for Dollar General so I know that they let people grab free boxes after they are done stocking the items from the box. I talked to the GM and he was cool with me coming up in the afternoon and picking some up. After getting to the store I told a lady that I was there to pick up some boxes and she acted like they couldn't do that. I let her know that I already spoke to the GM and he was okay with it, she then let me know that he was a new manager and that the company usually wants the boxes sent back. I know for a fact that's not true. She said she would ask and went into the managers office to speak with him. She left me standing outside for awhile but I could slightly hear what they were saying. They both came out of the office after a long time and completely forgot about me and the reason I was there. I didn't catch her name but she was an older lady and was pretty rude. They continued talking to each other while I stood there being ignored. I just walked out and went elsewhere. Very disappointed and we won't be back."

"Oh no. The lady I posted in the photos wouldn’t let me in the store when they were still open. Had people in line and walking around the store. It’s Christmas Eve 9:55 PM store still open for 5 minutes and she had the front door locked. I was waiting in the cold until she Let a women out with 2 more customers in line still and she told me no. I said, “I just need to grab one thing” and she said, “no we are closed” So unprofessional. Even dollar tree would never let their employees pull a card like that on a holiday or not."

"I’ve considered dropping a review a few times but kept giving chances. I came here at 6:40pm. They close at 10 pm. No sign as to why. No warning. The employees are at the registers. They could put up a sign or a reason. Now I see an employee leaving. They do not apologize and try not to even acknowledge you trying to come in. This is not the first time. I only come here because I have to with my circumstances to try to load my cashapp card. I’m always prepared. Fast. Forgiving. Kind. Coming here with a baby is stressful enough because it never feels safe. A lot of crime goes on in this area. Loading a larger amount of money, a couple employees have repeated the amount loudly I’m asking to load. As I am standing there as a single mother with cash in hand. This is ignorant or rude behavior. 1/5 times are my efforts coming here successful. Wasted time. Glared at. And extra unnecessary stress. Everyone has their own stuff going on so I try to give benefit of the doubt but it’s 95% of my many experiences here. Employees need additional training and probably more attentive monitoring."
