Customer service is not required to work here. The cashier seemed like she would rather be anywhere else but helping customers. There is a Now Hiring sign on the door. So maybe she is overworked.Luckily, I found the items that I came looking for. This location tends to have what I need compared to others. Not sure how soon Ill return though.

Pretty popular place, they had about as many customers on foot as they had that drove in. Employees were pleasant and eager to offer help. This store also was out of stock of the Hormel Beef Tamales and Beanie Weinies as were the previous 8 Dollar General stores weve checked! Piggly Wiggly is out of the same items too. Weve been looking for 3 months!Horrible design for their entrance and exit of their pod parking lot too. Sharp 90° turns in or out st the same location, barely enough room for 2 to pass at the same time. Poor visibility and extremely limited sight range for street traffic.

You know the drill. Minature Walmart located in every small community. I have no complaints except for locking me out at 10pm as I drive up for cigs.

Friendly. Had what I needed. Not too bad wait in line. Some aisles a bit crowded with inventory dollies (hand trucks). Thats why I didnt give five stars. I highly recommend this joint.

I have the Dollar General app and i checked it before going there. Several items were listed as being in stock, however none of these items were on the shelves! The store clerk explained that Dollar General has lost a lot of employees recently and the items are waiting to be stocked on the shelves. This is the 4th time in a month that I have tried to buy these items and not find them on the shelves! Customer Service says they cant help!

While one cashier was very polite when she had to go to the bathroom the associate who took over the register was very surly and had an unwelcoming demeanor. The order online pickup in-store designated area was used as a junk corner

Saves me time and $$$.The cashier was so friendly and polite. I should have gotten her name! Your prices for the most part are lower than walmart. I spend roughly $70.00 every week or so.

The employees at the Dollar general store in Avondale Alabama I must say they are very nice to everybody regardless of our appearances lets say. It is a 360° attitude that is most welcome these days unlike the family Dollar on 1st Avenue North Woodlawn store and that is a shared opinion amongst most patrons I have come in contact with that subject of conversation is usually initiated to me I do not have to. The DG Employees are extremely nice accommodating Ive been going to that store since the first day they opened I live only blocks away my fault I usually go in the evening sometimes prior to closing and they do not harass me remind me of the time follow me around like they do at the other place I mentioned they always wear their maskand and in turn for them being so nice to me usually when nobody is around to see I at times pick up litter stray carts that wander off on their own etc its good karma, I could go on about a lot of positive things there but one thing I regret to share I am afraid that I may run out the Dollar general peanut butter with honey is a perfect mosified concoction the prices too low and none of the major brands can touch it as far as tast e spreadability none of it I average at least five yards a weekI keep k e p t i n my backpack and at times no spoon !? Ill stick a wrench down in there and scoop it out after wiping it off of course try it! With or without the wrench.🥜butter &🐝+🔧 = 🎉👅

Employees had masks hanging around their necks. Customers not distancing at all. There was an unfortunate crackhead walking around the store looking for Miss Ruby and the store staff just ignored her.

This place is in the top 10 worst experiences when it comes to customer service. I cannot believe people can keep a job in customer service if they hate dealing with people. Dont get a job where you have to represent a company through the treatment of others if you cannot handle dealing with just an ordinary Che k out with another human being

Very disorganized store. Probably not store managements fault, has more to do with Dollar General as a company.Their stores are poorly staffed, and they require the two or three people they have, to do too much.I ended up waiting at least 4 minutes for a cashier to show up.Dollar General needs to quit building stores, and maintain the ones they already have!At some point, I predict D.G. is going to find itself in a predicament.Too many stores, and not enough customers!

The store is pretty good you dont even have to shop anymore everything I need locked up behind the counter so I just go to the counter and say I need baby food laundry soap cigarettes and she gets them all right there and I dont even have to go anywhere no more walk-in walk-out and might as well just put a drive-in

Ive been going to this store and shopping here for 2 years. I went in today and the white lady told me that o had to leave with my back pack on. I advised her that it was my purse and was then told to leave the store. Wow BS. After I spend at least $50 a week in this store which was my favorite. NOT ANYMORE!!!! GO AFTER 3p.m AND GET THE HELP AND ATTENTION YOU NEED WITHOUT THE JUDGMENT.

The manager at this store is a terrible person. She curses her employees, she tries to get you fired the unprofessional way, she treats the black customers different from the white customers. She doesnt do refunds with out an reciept unless you are white. She has a snobbish attitude and the DM is always in on the garbage with her.Tread lightly
