Titles pretty self-explanatory I'm sure you guys have ran into this before.

Honestly don't expect the district manager to care so I'd probably go for the department of Labor or maybe OSHA if they care about hostile environment.

Pretty sure I have enough evidence just from today's text messages I have obvious threats of termination and retaliation. To be clear I'm not even a key holder tho for some reason I'm the one who's training the new LSA.... I have zero responsibility to come in on my day off especially when they were expecting me to work alone for 5+ hours.

Just upgraded my iPhone to 16 pro max and my app isn’t working. It logs me in then logs me back out and when I try to log in again it says it’s locking me out for 20 minutes.

• Latest Software is updated
• app has been deleted & reinstalled
• phone restarted
• password has had to be changed multiple times in the past week
• login works on safari & google chrome

Am I missing something??

So since my store got a new SM like a year ago the alarm has never been set. How big of a deal is this?

I called off sick yesterday and wanted to use my sick pay but my manager says she already turned in the payroll. Is there anyway to get ahold of someone higher up to still receive that sick pay for yesterday on this next paycheck?

I got promoted about a week ago, yet when I go check my hourly pay it's still the same as when I was a sales associate. When will it be updated??? I want to make sure I'm getting my raise

The new meat reinvention planagram calls for 2 new shelves that are suppose to be sent via FedEx hasn't shown up yet. Anyone else have this issue? Is there possibly a sku someone may have to order new ones?

So I'll start working at my local Dollar General out of desperation. Any tips or heads up?

As a consumer that shops at your store it’s very frustrating to look on the app and see something is in stock and when you arrive at the location they don’t have it. How come when this happens the store doesn’t to a count on the item and update inventory so it doesn’t happen to the next customer and so that the product will be reordered? Who is in charge of this process and why can’t this be fixed? It is not just one store in my town but all of them.

My Store manager comes and goes as she pleases, never stays her entire shift except the one close she's required in my district per week. ASM quit about 2 1/2 weeks ago and the lead key (ft) took the ASM position and I moved to lead key. And both are looking for other jobs now. I definitely don't think I want to be store manager if they quit and I was offered it lol it's not that I don't want the opportunity I guess; it's more the fact that I've only been here 6 months. Plus it's became a shit show. That's probably from having 4 employees up until 2 days ago so the opener usually worked alone until the first closer shows up(8 hours at minimum)Anyway lol today me and a coworker got fresh truck and started going through stuff making sure oldest was first and found so much expired food. Mind you I've not worked during fresh in 4 months. They've just been shoving it in the back instead of rotating (SM and ASM/former lead key). And 15 minutes after finishing, steritech showed up to do an audit on everything. Call SM she says "oh shit call me when she leaves" like seriously?! This company is a joke lol. Idk I feel like the SM just doesn't care since her divorce a few months ago and stopped trying. It's frustrating and I'm worried they're eventually going to offer me the store manager job and it be too stressful but I'm also worried about who would come in instead if I was offered and turned it down.

I turn 18 in about 3 weeks and was wondering if Dollar General would be a good first job for a high school senior?

Anything I should know before I apply here?

before i start, please don’t say anything like “leave” or “get out while you can.”

i’m a full time key carrier and my store manager is transferring to a different store. she has asked me to become manager. i haven’t taken the job yet, but i’m seriously considering it. the pay would be a lot better than what i’m used to. for context, i’m 20f and started working for dg when i turned 18. for the most part i like my job, but like any job there’s some bad parts. the team we have if very good and they’re all reliable workers. if you’re a store manager, can you give me some pros and cons? thank you in advance!

(DGTP23).. We'll also be on the New System.. insights,Tips? Please and thank you.

Do any DG employees know step by step how to do the Saturday rollup?

So long story short my manager assured the two most unreliable workers that they wouldn’t have to work thanksgiving because……” they have kids”

Her plan( as she told me/ ASM) was to give them thanksgiving off and work me and 2 other associates on closing shift the holiday. She told me that she will open and that way 3 of us will be working at night, but knowing her she will either call me last minute with some BS “emergency” or call me in early so she can leave to be with her family.

I just think it is stupid to give someone off the holiday just because they have kids, like not even an age thing, but because I chose to not be a parent that makes it to were I’m not as important to be off.

To top it off the FT key she is letting off( other is a SA) has never worked more than 18 hours, our PT works more then her, since we don’t give her any because she never gets anything done and gets “ anxious” and “ stressed” when she has to handle money.

She literally quit last week after coming in late, only for the SM to let her back an hour later.

What I hate is that she will be able to get off the holiday but because she is coded as a FT key she will automatically get the 8hr just for working on the week of the holiday.

I just want to know is that normal or expected at y’all’s store, because quit frankly if anyone should get off it’s me. As inventory was last Tuesday and since we got our truck Wednesday ( 60 rolltainers, 70 totes, 14 Uboats), I’m the one who has been here overnights and practically all day to get the truck out, and when I came in today at 3( after leaving at 6am) the three of them that were here ( including SM) got Nothing done

i started working at dollar general thursday (yesterday) will i get paid the upcoming friday (November 15)

Are family members allowed to buy penny items at the store you work at? I see the policy said they aren’t supposed to say you can’t buy these items but are managers allowed to say I’m sorry you can not buy these or I will have to fire the employee you are related to?

Is it true that you can’t request paid days off from Nov 15th till January 1st ? We have new store manager they told us that we can’t request paid vacation or sick leave within this period. I’m surprised this is an actual thing and had never heard of it.

Thank y’all in advance for your input.

Since 2017 we've looked forward to Christmas every year at Dollar General for one reason... Christmoose!

This was last year's version:

https://preview.redd.it/zjn67d7clkzd1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad82fdd1de60f29d39ccb66e022b885944e9b488

They've always been the same style/manufacturer with the googly eyes and different outfits. There was only one year during the pandemic where they didn't come out with a new model.

And now this year, it appears they've switched manufactures as these are what they're listing as the standing moose 41". I finally saw them on the top shelf of a store and was so disappointed.

https://preview.redd.it/hxfyxttslkzd1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f71bd462139daccacfb7b20d40ba9ae7cccebef0

Both are also selling for $30 and are 41" tall so it's definitely this year's and it's the result that comes up on the web this year. We're so disappointed. We used to buy ~12 every year to give to family and friends and everyone loved them (and never knew we got them at DG!). I wish I could find the supplier. I've seen some that are more similar but they only appear to be 26" tall and you would definitely know the difference. RIP Christmoose, we loved you more than you know!

When did Dollar General make the change to using the digital coupon anytime you want? To now you can only use the digital coupon on Saturdays now? It was convenient for me. Cause I live closely to a Dollar Tree just down the road from me. When I need to go get dog food. I could go down there using the digital coupon instead traveling further down town by the highway where a Walmart is at, it’s frustrating now you made that change.

I was recently fired because I was shopping off the clock for sales items. Manager lied and said I was told I couldn’t shop for the sales items she had to ring me up. This is crazy I was never told that. I get off my shift to buy some sales items mind you they cashier didn’t ring me up told the manager and I get fired. Is there a policy saying when you off the clock a manager has to ring you up? What if the manager not working then you will miss out on the clearance item don’t make sense. Has everyone heard of this policy????

So, I started there a few weeks ago and no training at all on register or anything actually. Then when some a customer decides they didn't want the item anymore because it was 7 cents more they wanted to spend I have to run and find someone to help me. It is a lot wow

I don’t work at DG, but I need some DG insight. Most of the DGs in my area usually keep those handy black plastic step stools scattered on random isles throughout the store. As a customer I use them all the time for reaching items on top shelves. They are convenient as fuck; I even have one at home and use it frequently. You know the ones I’m talking about? They are a single molded piece of black plastic and don’t bend under weight and have rubber grips so they don’t slide all around. Much better than those step stools that fold in and out.

I go into DG tonight to grab some cereal and of course the one cereal I want is completely out of stock, but it was located on a higher shelf, so I see one of these black stools right at my feet and use it to get a better look at the situation (gotta make sure there aren’t a few boxes hiding behind the other cereals on each side of the missing cereal’s spot). There were none, so I grabbed the second best option and headed to the register. When I get there, the girl checking my items out looks up from her phone screen to tell me something. She started this off by saying, “I don’t want you to take this the wrong way or anything, but customers are not allowed on the step stools, it is a safety hazard, someone could fall. It is a store policy.” She goes on to recount to me that she was watching me while I was using the stool to look for cereal and didn’t want to shout this at me from across the store because that would be rude.

I am no Karen and have no brain capacity for quick witty responses in situations like this, so I just replied with an, “ummm, ok”, gave her a confused smile, and grabbed my cereal and left.

Once I got in the car and started heading home, I was really able to stew on the interaction. I have no clue why it is bothering me, but it just seemed so unnecessary, like would she rather have me climb up using the shelves as a step, or grab a long broom from the cleaning isle and start knocking shit around up there? Why did she stop scrolling her phone to tell me this. Also, the whole “store policy” line sounded like complete nonsense considering these stools pose more of a trip hazard to customers than a fall hazard. Why leave them all around the store if you don’t want people on them?

Was this girl just needing to vent some cunt steam or were her comments backed by legitimate “store policy”?

So, I am one of many of the recent hurricane victims, and my family and I did lose Everything in the storms. After the storm, the DG I worked at was closed naturally. However, in the past 2 weeks, it reopened, and I have Not been given any hours even though everyone else has. I have not had any issues in the past and have been called in regularly when they need someone one and never had a complaint. I have not been officially fired, but I might as well be as I have no income because of no hours given to me. I have reached out several times to my manager, and she will not respond . My mom has seen her and asked, and she told her she would call me and never did. It is bad enough going through this disaster, but to be treated like this, especially when I need to work so I can rebuild my life, feels so wrong and very upsetting. I also feel like this is not legally okay as well. Advice would be appreciated as I'm not sure what to do, but this lack of respect and care is not okay, and I want to do something about it if there is anything that can be done.

Clearance phones moved to the phone case a few weeks ago, and this week Driveline is starting to take out the locking pegs from the Electronics section.

They would be good to use on a high-shrink item, but the question is finding a place to put them. My SM is just leaving them aside for now until she can come up with a good spot for them.

Anybody else finding a new use for those pegs or just forgetting about them?

Is there a reason why later in the evening there’s only one person working a register, but the self checkout is closed?

I find it a little weird because I’ll come in to buy one quick thing at like 8PM and the line is backed up, but the self checkout lines are all closed - not like for a maintenance thing because they’re open during the day, but just closed.

I worked in a retail-y job and my main guess was just to prevent people from stealing as much when you only have one person to work a register. Which if that’s the case, that makes sense, but it does seem kinda inefficient to put all that onto one person.
