DGX - Atlanta, Georgia

I am frequent shopper at this store in my neighborhood. Very disappointed when I was met with a very aggressive male worker at the store. Maybe he was having a bad night, but he closed the store down and locked the doors down before 9:30pm when its supposed to close at 10pm. I met him at the door when he was letting a couple out. He said to me and I quote, “Unfortunately, we’re closed for tonight.” I replied, “So, you all close at 9:30 now, because the sign posted says 10pm.” He got really loud and aggressive and said, “WELL THAT’S WHAT TIME, I’M CLOSING TONIGHT!!” then I said, “I will be contacting corporate.” He goes, “Yea, you do that then.” and locked the door. Well I did and filed a report and looking to take this further. This store is located in a prime location where I live. His very unprofessional behavior is uncalled for especially in this area. I don’t want this store to go down like other stores in Atlanta. If he continues to work there with this behavior, I will contact the Mayor personally and other city leaders to call for this location to be shut down. Not a threat a promise. I did contact the number posted on the store.
People never know who walks into there stores. From Secret shoppers or people with power. I work for a private billion dollar company and we would never allow or hire a young man such as the one I met tonight. He’s a risk to this company and he needs to be fired and have a huge attitude adjustment! The one in braids is the man I’m talking about.

I just left (Saturday, 10:17am) because it was not opened. The doors were locked. It is supposed to be open right now, but no one is inside although all the lights are on. I just needed to quickly grab some balloons and now I’ve got to find somewhere else to go. Also, I did try calling as well while I was outside the door. I let the phone ring and ring and ring and no one answered.

Super lucky to have a Dollar General Express in the middle of town! This is my go-to spot if I need to grab milk or any staples. I find that things are cheaper here than at CVS or any other convenience store. I especially appreciate that they stock some basic produce like tomatoes, garlic, potatoes, celery, avocados, etc. Also, this store is built to be accessible with a ramp for those who are handicapped. I also frequent this store if I have a birthday party coming up, it definitely has the most affordable selection of cards, gift bags, and other party supplies you might need when you're in a pinch. I hope this spot can stay around for a while as I truly value the importance of having a variety of convenience stores and groceries at different price points.

Mini grocery store with reasonable prices and nice staff. Small fridge and frozen section with what I consider to be the essentials (milk, cheese, ice cream), fresh produce, and other household, hygene, and office items.

Absolutely the worst experience I’ve had in a store in my life. I am completely shocked that such a person is employed by DGX who behaves this way and is a danger to customers/the community.

My experience was similar to the person below dealing with the same employee except WORSE. The employee tried to close the store down at 9:25 (they close at 10). While we were shopping he runs up on me and my boyfriend aggressively yelling at us that the store was closed. He then proceeds to become EXTREMELY aggressive and tries to fight my boyfriend, going so far as to follow us out of the store and across the street. I was absolutely terrified. As a young woman I was extremely concerned and scared.

The fact that this person is still employed here has me absolutely shocked. He has had numerous reviews left about him behaving aggressively and inappropriately with customers. What will it take for him to be fired?

One fine evening, I went to my neighborhood dollar general with the intention of making two separate purchases- one for myself where spent $70+ on items from this particular store, and the 2nd purchase was my 12 year old daughter’s purchase (items for her grandmother’s birthday gift). We were in a good mood, happy to be making our purchases and then this very aggressive and rude black male store manger refused to check my child out. We both asked why… He said because that’s his decision and he has the right to refuse service. Like a mama bear does I then went into protection mode. I asked to let him continue with our purchase he refused several times. I then told him I wanted to return the items I just purchased that were $70+ and he told me no. After I started to record the confrontation, he then tells me just to take the items. I refuse because I don’t want to be charged with theft. He continues to make a huge scene in front of other guest and my child. We are both embarrassed, shocked, disgusted, confused and disappointed.
This guy pictured below does not need to be working at any customer service job. He is the WORST employee I’ve come in contact this year. I will never visit this location again!!! And I definitely will be returning my $70+ purchase and going to another place like target or Walgreens which is less than a mile away from this store to purchase the same exact items. Wow wow wow!!! What a waste of my time and money!!! And the treatment he gave my daughter, who was so excited to be spending her own money to get her grandmother a birthday present, was uncalled for and traumatizing. I hope that he finds another job not working with customers & children and takes some anger management classes.
