Got profiled as a thief when I walked in the door was accused of opening and stealing stuff when I work hard for my money. Called customer service and got hung up on. Manager was an old woman and threatened to call the cops if I didn't empty my pockets at the register. Will not be going in that store ever again.

Always out of stock of essential items. Never have milk nor basic staples. Only freezer in the place has been down for months. Staff is nice but the place needs an overhaul. Shelves are disorganized and items aren't in the correct places.

This is for the dollar general on lake street.Had what i needed, but their system was down or something. It took until there was 30 people in line until the cashier told us there was a problem and that it would take several minutes to fix. In the time i spent in line i could have gone to the DG down the road and driven to where i needed to go. From now on, ill by pass the headache and go to a more reliable store.

3 Dollar Generals and a Big Lots. Each store clean, stocked, masks a must, cheerful employees! 3rd time was a charm. I think I got the last 3 bags of potting soil in Elmira🍀🌻🐿🌰🌝🌦🌱

The cashier Ron is very helpful I thought he was manager he was very informative and extremely willing to help with what ever a customer needed and he was alone ran the store like a champ the store was extremely busy and he didn't look his professionalism or seem to let it bother him just smiled and continued on as nothing was going wrong....excelent character showed! I think this man deserves A RAISE a 5 STAR raiting and a BIG Raise!!! TODAYS WORLD YOU DONT FIND TO MANY FRIENDLY EMPLOYEES IN RETAIL LIKE THIS MAN WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT COUSTOMER SERVICE!

Expansion has made this place a top on stop shop. Inexpensive as long as you don't get to excited with deals and fill your cart.

Better than 2nd Street and Best employees than any other store. At least here there's no junkies sitting outside eating lunch and shooting up

This isn't a true Dollar store,prices vary from cheaper to more expensive than other stores. You have to shop their ads like everyone else.

The cashier didnt even offer me a bag. She never greeted me or said anything. She seemed like she was in a bad mood or something.
