As someone who's worked there for a mere 2 weeks I can confirm a lot of workers are unfairly treated. Heck why you think I left? I nearly broke my foot a week in, I even had a doctors note station I needed to sit while working. Boss never let me sit once. That's 6 to 8 hours on a bad foot, and it took 6 months after I quit for my foot to completely heal.
"Its like an escape room, but the theme is osha violations". Made my day. My son used to be a night stocker, actually got trapped under a box pile collapsing on him.
It takes a LOT to make me LOL. But the OSHA comment did it! My grandson wanted to work for the trucking Co. that delivers to DG. I told him nope, never, not going to happen. In my travels around the Midwest carrying car parts to various warehouses, I NEVER saw a delivery truck parking that didn’t need to blind side into it from the road or around to the side of the building. ie. the driveway was always placed wrong for a truck delivery. I talked him out of taking that account.
Your dollar general had NIGHT STOCKERS?!?! Wow fancy. Here we just make the two employees on shift unload, stock, deal with ppl, and cashier. Been that way for yrs now lol.
@@butwhytho4858 truck drivers got paid wait time, wait time that didn't cut into their DOT hours(no I don't know how that worked, ask the union), if they showed up and no one was there to unload them. So they started making a point to show up at 3am
As a ex DG employee a lot of these are accurate with the state of the store cuz the stores were always so understaffed. I was the only person on staff for hours so many times
I always feel sorry for the staff at my local DG as corporate never give them enough man hours to keep up. Even when they have the staff many do not show up to work.
it's really obvious this company doesn't give a damn about its employees, customers, their reputation...or even people's lives in there...it's madness..I go because I can't stay away..it's like watching a train wrecking.. I say to my boyfriend..let's just go in and SEE what's going on....the one store has this terrifying apocalyptic parking lot with crators..
Yeah I think Walgreens is embracing this concept. I was in one yesterday, and a WG employee told me flat out he couldn’t take my passport photo because he was only one of two in the store.
Have you ever walked into a place got a bad vibe and turned around and walked out. That's how I left my dg job. The environment was horrible. It seemed everyone disappeared when the part time cashier came to work. Imagine working 6 days a week and bringing home $140. I felt bad but part time and still working 6 days a week. I've made more of a living wage from my birthday money than I did the entire 6 months working there. So Dg to me is where depression goes to thrive. TG for Family Dollar.
I love the fact that DG isn't on top of cleaning their shelves. Each time when the new stock comes out and the old stock drops to a penny I am able to get a bunch of toys, candy, food, etc. for my little cousins, my own house, extended family, and my church. I have been prepared for birthdays, holidays, and various collections/drives for years. In fact, I am taking $76 worth of flips flops to church today!!! 😁
One time in 1984 my grandma found some plastic cups she liked at a dollar general. In 2001 I was at that dollar general and found the same cups that were from the same lot and had been sitting in the store since then.
Yep. I was briefly assistant manager at a Dollar General. The store manager went on vacation and I was in a panic because, by my standards, the place was a mess when she got back. But she was impressed that it "didn't go downhill" while she was away.
The "is that a dog" part reminded me that a few months ago at my local Dollar General, we had a duck in the parking lot for a few weeks that everyone was feeding. I tried to catch it and put it with the ducks I already have because I'M FROM ALABAMA SO OF COURSE I HAVE DUCKS AND NEED MORE😬 It didn't work out but he's gone now. I think about that duck often 🥲
I stopped by our Dollar General one day, while I was entering the cashier was chasing a possum (opossum) out the door with a broom. The next time a small tree normally on a lot divider wad down and the car that hit it was stuck on the divider You never know what you see at the Dollar General here in Texas
That duck migrated north, and he's now the Employee of the Month at our Dollar General. No, the other Dollar General. No, the _other,_ other Dollar General.
I went to Dollar General and came home with a cat. Staff said he'd been living in the back corner between the paper product shelf units for three days. I named him DG. We call him Deege.
Dude, I’m a southerner and my fiancé is Korean. She’s coming to Georgia (my home state) and I can’t wait to show her the beauty of the sacred Dollar General
The DGs around where I live (rural) almost always have only one employee in the store, usually the manager and female, checking customers out and all alone. This just is not even safe not to mention lonely and horribly understaffed.
That’s the DG corporate mentality. And then they scream at the employees about why the store isn’t spotless and completely stocked when they will only allow the manager to schedule one or two people on a shift at a time. Can’t ring and stock at the same time! And Corporate and the District Managers are all made up of people who have never actually worked at a store in their lives. That whole “I know better than you even though I’ve never done the job” attitude. That’s why the turnover rate for employees is so high. On average they seem to stick around in my store about 6 to 8 months. Anyone who sticks around longer than that has the attitude that they’re not going to bust a gut trying to get a job done in a unreasonable amount of time because DG is too cheap to allow their managers to staff their stores properly.
DG has become known for cutting corners by understaffing Both the stores in my town are frequently packed with delivery pallets wall to wall because they expect one person to stock, clean, AND run the register.
Hey, now! Don't y'all be dissin' my Dollar General. We just got one last year. Now we have a convenience store/gas station, a restaurant, a vegetable stand, and now, in addition to our post office, a Dollar General! Our little town is moving up in this world!
This was so spot on. I laughed all the way through it. I only shop there when someone gives me a gift card or Dollar Tree doesn't have it. My town of 23,000 has 3 Dollar General's, Each a different level of messy.
I live in a really small southern town, less than 6,000 people. We have 7 Dollar General stores within 10 minute drive of us, including 5 only being 5-7 minutes away. They're all messy!
As a city girl who is from rural Kentucky, I'm gonna let ya'll know that DG saved my home town. It used to be a 20 minute trip into town either direction, or you could go to the country store 2 miles down the road and pay 5 dollars for a loaf of bread. Or my Dad's bait shop could sell you pop, snacks, or cigarettes. But the rural DGs have EVERYTHING for cheap. I got name brand soda cheaper by the case than at Walmart in town...and they had the flavored water my daughter likes, and we got stationary, cards, wrapping paper, and some cute home decor. DG figured out there was a need in rural areas to keep people from driving all the way to town for Walmart. I don't go to Walmart...I don't want to have to walk the length of 2 football fields for a gallon of milk. So lay off the DG!
Oof but you realize that’s the problem, ma and pa stores have to charge $5 for a load of bread because they aren’t huge national corporations that can order at the high standard level for a real business discount I mean god damn this is some of the most ass backwards shit I’ve read. DG isn’t saving shit they’re taking advantage of a desperate situation and furthering the plight against small town America and their right to start and run their own businesses effectively aiding the killing of the whole American dream. Wake up.
We have a lot of Dollar General stores where I live. The chain was started in Scottsville, KY just down the road from me. It was the only place I could find toilet paper back in 2020 during the pandemic. Sure it was more like sandpaper, but sometimes you have to make do.
The drive thru lol literally had a woman run her car into our store the first year I was manager, then had two cars blow up in our parking lot the same year. Hell of a place.
This happened a few years ago to a Wendy's in my town in North Georgia - or maybe it was Walmart. It might have been both. lol. Didn't realize it was just a this area thing.
Congratulations on your promotion, Matt's dog Bruce! I'm sure it's well deserved. You know, you can't beat the price on kiddie pools at Dollar General.
Everything was painfully accurate except finding a DG with an air conditioner. I Believe he discovered a dollar general in a pocket dimension or something...I just asked a worker the other week in one that they were complaining about the heat if they were allowed to pull items off the floor for store use, and if so, they should go grab some box fans and plug them up all over the store, it was miserable in there!
The AC is set at the headquarters office. The store can't even control it. That was amazing to me when I worked there. They fired me and it may have been the best day of my life.
Oh they have an air conditioner.. The vents are just full of and blocked by cardboard boxes.. If you remove all that you might find bruce willis skeleton in there.
My childhood DG had an old, brown one in case it got too hot in there, lol. I still remember the amazement as a kid when I discovered that the store had a bathroom. That was almost 20 years ago, and the store is still standing and in business.
I once lived waaay out in the country and the Dollar General was the nearest place to go shopping. I would seeing ladies leisurely browsing the shelves. I was there doing the same thing. ☺️
Nearest as in "dollar generals lined up in a circle like a stonehenge with a crack head doing dances in the middle alter asking for a ride,some change and if you married...
I got there for stress relief. Buy a new dish towel or some toiletries. They have the best cookies - they are like Girl Scout cookies but available all year. Some yard art… Lately the ones I’ve been going in are pretty cleaned up. I like a good DG and Dollar and a Quarter Tree.
Dollar General is like a sentient, semi-harmless Eldritch being from another dimension. Who decided to just stay put and well... Allow mortals to buy wares.
😂"Those people have never tried Clover Valley Mayonnaise" 😂... brings back bad/funny memories of trying Clover Valley cola when I was broke years ago... no, just no! This was a great video, one of your best! Too funny...
When I lived on the family farm, I was super excited to see a Dollar General get built nearby. I could go do my grocery shopping without having to drive into town. It was amazing.
Omgosh! So funny! For 21 years we lived in a smallish town (10,000 people) that you could literally walk from one end of the town to the other end in 30 minutes & they had 2-3 Dollar General and 1-2 Dollar Trees 😂😂
I worked at a dollar general for six months and this is so accurate. The clover valley, the random dogs that come in, everything out of place, employees nowhere to be seen (they’re smoking weed in the back room most of the time). And of course the broken AC They are the beating heart of small towns though. You see everyone and talk to everyone, kind of sweet in a way, giving a sense of community
@@michaelmcclure9350 That was more of Wally Worlds doing. DG, and in my area Family Dollar have kind of helped bring at least something besides Walmart to go to. Usually closer as well. At least for cheap stuff.
Or you didn't see employees because they were stocking out pf uniform, i do the same thing i hate dealing with customers while stocking cause normally they ask stupid questions
I love Dollar General. The old one, down in Magnolia fits all of these descriptions. But the newer one closer to me is twice the size, open and well stocked. I love some of the gardening things, and hit their $1 section regularly to see what is there. The newest one up the road the other way even has fresh fruits and veggies! But the dog thing, yeah. It's those automatic doors.
This was gold. Everything you think but never say. My favorite was "why is it so dark back here" and the boxes. Lol. I needed to go to bathroom in a DG once it was like going through a creepy haunted house. Also, we hadn't been to a DG in many years, like 10 yrs. We decided to go and thought this will be a cheap place to shop...*forgetting the past*...we spent $75.00 on crap y'all! 😱 The place pulls you in with it's dollar name, chews you up with the weird shitaki that happens in there, swallows you down with all the "oh that's pretty interesting" stuff and pukes back out into the daylight dazed and confused 😕 🤔🤐🥴
True. My favorite was the person who pulled up to the $General and drove right into the store thru the front wall. That happened when I was in a store.
That is because they are understaffed and over work their employees also you have to stock and run the register also no body who shops at dg knows what a self checkout is. Corporate also sucks.
They're taking a play out of Walmart's book... they figure since they don't have self checkouts, maybe they can at least get the customers to stock the shelves for them.
"Thats some CVS behavior right here".....still laughing. 😂 I get those receipts that look like wallpaper rolls. And y'all quit hating on the DG! One year I was out of work and did my Christmas shopping for my bother and my daughter....and Christmas dinner!
I went to dollar general the other day they had a 50% sale the cashier asked another cashier how do I figure out what's half of the price and the other cashier said I just guess I don't got time to be doing math lmao
@@brininahoward5445 nope, i work at dg and clearance does not mean a mark down in price all it means is that we don't get it anymore. Only way you are getting a deal in the store is if a sign says so other than that you gotta go by what thee computer says. So many customers come in thinking clearance means thee item is on some sort of sale when its not it clearly says over there as marked which means it is whatever the computer says.
I was once checking out about eight dollars worth of stuff and the teller looked at me and said that’ll be $.27 cents. I was rather stunned I thought she had made an error but it turns out they don’t have a problem with 97% off sales prices. Of course I think everything I bought was over six months old!
Things get marked down, if they haven't moved, especially seasonal/holiday. Last chance are items for a penny. Hunting 'pennies' is a big thing for many DG shoppers.
@@lindakluth5611 because they don't help the sales of the store and dg employees are demons who find helping customers not worth it usually because customers are usually assholes, dg is just a jungle tbh i know cause i work there.
I love ya’ll! Your videos make me smile so much. So much hateful crap on the internet, then you guys come out with these cute videos. Thank you. I feel like it’s a wholesome vacation from the hate.
I love how the shelves behind the one guy are empty because that's how it's been in the 14 or so DGs near me lately. They were pretty full until about January 2021, then after that they sorta started drying up. I'm trying to figure out what's different in the country since then that could possibly correlate with that....by the way, do they sell baby formula? And Clover Valley mayonnaise is just fine if you're only using it as a lubricant in farm equipment.
Same. There is a rundown DG about 4 miles from me but I instead go further down the exact same street about 1 mile further down to the newer one. Since it's only a couple months old it's stocked, clean, and always neat. Opposite of the other two in town.
Sweet we have Big Lots, Dots, 99 Cents Store, Dollar Tree, Dollar Store, and I think one or two Dollar General's. We've also got something called Canned Food Outlet..that we love. Love discount shopping!
So true, y’all. Only thing they didn’t mention was the clearance items that weren’t really clearance; they’re regular priced items on a shelf marked “clearance.”
Dollar Generals are a wreck. Matt was right. I never know what things cost because there's no price tag and, there's no one to respond to my questions. Even though Dollar Tree is now a $1.25, I will take my chances with them.
We have a Dollar General in a town of 800. And we have the resident dog (Bentley) who comes in checks out the store, greets customers ( which is something employees don’t do) then goes home after his snack.
With the prices being more expensive than getting it at a Walmart or any normal chain store. Everything is designed to look cheaper but at a cost of reduced portions and quality. They are known for spreading in low income areas for a reason. I rather buy in bulk and save in the long run.
My son is in school overseas and has made friends there that specifically want to visit a Wal-Mart when they visit our country, they have nothing like it in their home countries.
@@kevins4213 if your son has friends from the UK, they most than likely have been to Asda , three guesses as to who Asda:s parent company is. It's not Walgreens, Costco or Rite Aid
I hear both Liz and Ryan. A Dollar General opened about a half mile east from my house last year. A week ago or so, I was traveling west and saw a cement pad being poured a few miles from my house. A few days later, *poof* another Dollar General. And I live in Connecticut.
Mat: One time I went into the back room and got trapped there by all the boxes. It was kinda fun actually. Every retail employee: Yep. That’s why we take so long when you ask us to check in the back. It so peaceful and quiet.
This is a perfect description of the dollar general down the road from our house. I can never tell who actually works there; getting in the checkout line is always like Russian roulette to see which person you thought was a customer slides behind the counter to ring you up. And going down the aisles is like playing hopscotch in a mine field.
In my tiny little home town “one” of the dollar general got a squirrel inside and they called the police. That’s not the bad thing. An officer showed up and pulled his firearm and shot at the squirrel inside the dollar general. He was shocked when he got fired.
"Bubba shot the jukebox..." Gross! I can see bloody squirrel fur & meat all over their cookie packages & school supplies!!! Hopefully, he didn't come close to hitting any customers!! I'm a LITTLE surprised he got fired, too. So many of these are in the rural South! He solved the problem, didn't he??
We have a New Dollar General 6 minutes away. Yes I GPSed it!!😂😂😂 One day it was a dirt lot. A week later.. A 💵 General.. 👀 👀 AC & a Self- Checkout!! Hallelujah 🙏 🙏
My dollar general is the only place you can buy groceries in my city. You have to go one or two cities over if you want a Walmart or a big grocery store. It's a mess, but at least you get basics without having to go into town.
When I worked at Toys R Us, our managers were on us like ducks on a June bug if we walked more than 10 feet from a stocking cart. Even if you just needed to run to the bathroom, you had to put the cart back in the back first. And it was one cart per person; you were never allowed to have two carts sitting there and only one person working off of them. Now that I work in commercial real estate and handle litigation, I understand why they were so strict. So I am completely confused why DG puts out all of the carts all at the same time--most usually during evenings and on Saturdays, when the store is the most-crowded--and never has anyone working on them. Their aisles are already narrow, but with a cart in it, you can't get through with a buggy, and often not on foot, either. How they haven't been sued into correcting that behavior, I don't know. Normally I'm against most slip-and-fall litigation because it's BS (e.g. someone slipped in water IN A PARKING LOT; like, is someone supposed to mop it every time it rains?), but when I'm holding onto shelves so I can step over crap in the floors at the DG, I'm thinking I would not cry for them if someone did.
The “new fancy one half a mile away” is so true for me, we had a normal DG and then recently they made a new one less then half a mile away, and it a Dollar General Grocery
@@crisraines6664 We have two now, a quarter mile apart on the some road in a town of less than 10K. They couldn't staff the first one, now neither one can stay open at the same time or for the entire day combined.
Spot on! Can absolutely relate to going to the "fancier " DG with AC(mine was about 2 more miles away). The closet DG never had anything I needed AND I absolutely go to Dollar Tree for party supplies.... DG is way more expensive than any other store for all their items! Except Dr. Pepper when they have a sale on it & with $5 coupon, cheaper than WM!
DG always has everything you need. It just in the boxes stacked 6 high on the carts that are blocking the isles. If you find what you need you have to stock all of that item on the shelf. Then you get a $5 coupon.
I've found my person! I was always so grateful when they were running a special on Dr. Pepper and I could use the $5 off $25 coupon too. It was nice to take a 2 minute trip rather than a 30 minute trip to Walmart too. They had pretty good coupons on Tide too. I haven't set foot in a Dollar General since 2020 after I moved though. I appreciate having many easily accessible choices again!
I love the "This was not here yesterday" part, because it's so true. They just seem to pop up overnight. Also, here in rural PA, our Dollar General has a hitching post, for Amish horse and buggies. Beat that, Southerners.
When DG opened in my little western NY town in 2000, maybe ‘99, I felt like a sweepstakes winner Affordable NICE clothes even - remember? On racks in middle of floor, not just sweatpants and bras stuffed in an aisle. All the plastic drawers and bins! Cheap food Cheap toys I immediately said-a miniWallyWorld!
DG finally filled their Bingo card in my county here in Michigan. Every little town and village in the county has their own DG now. The last one is literally between two cornfields
When I was “really” poor I bought the Cloverfield brand version of Chicken in a Biscuit crackers. One bite and decided I wasn’t “that” poor. At that time my TV was via antenna, no internet, no cellphone, no subscription of any kind, and my efficiency apartment didn’t even have a kitchen stove.
I went into DG last week for one thing. Came out with five items including a Jurassic World dinosaur pop it fidget toy that I absolutely did not need. Some kind of magic, I tell you.
I absolutely love Matt’s line about the stock room.; “it’s like an escape room except the theme is OSHA violations.” I laughed so hard. This whole video is a DH roast. A lot of what they said also applies to the Walgreens I used to work at except the line about the lightning. It was brightly lit so you could see the mess better.😜
The smell thing is so spot on. I went to a brand new Family Dollar (my area's version of Dollar General) and it smelled exactly the same as one from six years ago. What, do they pump that smell in like they do at Disney World's Pirates ride? If they do, what's it called? *Smells Like Cheap Crap.* So many questions. I do go there and buy things once in a great while though. Every now and then you find something you could not possibly live without, and you don't pay much.🤣
Funniest thing....we lived in a small community called "Pumpkintown" for a few years....place has been there forever...like founded in 1795 forever!! Two years ago they opened their first new store in EIGHTY YEARS....and it was a Dollar General!! 😂😂
There was a DG next to where I used to work. This is more-or-less my experience with them in a shellnut. They kept extra drinks in the cooler just for me because I became one of their regulars.
1:27 Lmao! This past summer, my closest DG closed early in the afternoon each day because their AC was broken, and they apparently weren't in a rush to get it fixed.

The DGs around where I live (rural) almost always have only one employee in the store, usually the manager and female, checking customers out and all alone. This just is not even safe not to mention lonely and horribly understaffed.
My sister does it every single day. From open until the next person comes in. She has a staff of 3.
@@Whyarewehere53 Do you mean the next employee? Or does she just hand off to the first customer?
@@dotar9586 Well apparently they draft dogs into service so maybe?
That’s the DG corporate mentality. And then they scream at the employees about why the store isn’t spotless and completely stocked when they will only allow the manager to schedule one or two people on a shift at a time. Can’t ring and stock at the same time! And Corporate and the District Managers are all made up of people who have never actually worked at a store in their lives. That whole “I know better than you even though I’ve never done the job” attitude. That’s why the turnover rate for employees is so high. On average they seem to stick around in my store about 6 to 8 months. Anyone who sticks around longer than that has the attitude that they’re not going to bust a gut trying to get a job done in a unreasonable amount of time because DG is too cheap to allow their managers to staff their stores properly.
DG has become known for cutting corners by understaffing
Both the stores in my town are frequently packed with delivery pallets wall to wall because they expect one person to stock, clean, AND run the register.
Hey, now! Don't y'all be dissin' my Dollar General. We just got one last year. Now we have a convenience store/gas station, a restaurant, a vegetable stand, and now, in addition to our post office, a Dollar General! Our little town is moving up in this world!
I love dollar general
This was so spot on. I laughed all the way through it. I only shop there when someone gives me a gift card or Dollar Tree doesn't have it. My town of 23,000 has 3 Dollar General's, Each a different level of messy.
My town a little over 9,000 has two brand new Dollar Generals, one is one of those new DG Market stores, a Family Dollar and a Dollar Tree.
I only have Dollar Tree near me and lots of different ones to choose from. There are no DG in my town. Very few if any in my whole state.
I live in a town of about 35,000. We have 2 DGs, 2 Family dollars, and a dollar tree.
I live in a really small southern town, less than 6,000 people. We have 7 Dollar General stores within 10 minute drive of us, including 5 only being 5-7 minutes away.
They're all messy!
Shoot, we have 7,000 people, 3 Dollar Generals within 2 miles of each other & I think 4 more within 5 miles of that.. They’re like weeds!!
I always use DG bags to line my bathroom wastebaskets. 😁
Are those the reusable bags I keep hearing about? 😂
Ditto ♡
Yep, every trash can in the house.
Me too
Just replaced all mine!😊
As a city girl who is from rural Kentucky, I'm gonna let ya'll know that DG saved my home town. It used to be a 20 minute trip into town either direction, or you could go to the country store 2 miles down the road and pay 5 dollars for a loaf of bread. Or my Dad's bait shop could sell you pop, snacks, or cigarettes. But the rural DGs have EVERYTHING for cheap. I got name brand soda cheaper by the case than at Walmart in town...and they had the flavored water my daughter likes, and we got stationary, cards, wrapping paper, and some cute home decor. DG figured out there was a need in rural areas to keep people from driving all the way to town for Walmart. I don't go to Walmart...I don't want to have to walk the length of 2 football fields for a gallon of milk. So lay off the DG!
I live in a similar town in TN and if I can't get it at the Dolla it has to wait, cuz I'm not running "up to town" every time I need sugar or catfood.
I agree! DG is great in our town. It's clean and organized and the employees are always friendly.
SAME! Here in rural PA- we call it the Albion Mall - lol
Oof but you realize that’s the problem, ma and pa stores have to charge $5 for a load of bread because they aren’t huge national corporations that can order at the high standard level for a real business discount I mean god damn this is some of the most ass backwards shit I’ve read.
DG isn’t saving shit they’re taking advantage of a desperate situation and furthering the plight against small town America and their right to start and run their own businesses effectively aiding the killing of the whole American dream. Wake up.
@@M335h1 A load of bread🤣
Closing the old DG to open a new one, because the old one was too dirty to keep, is exactly what happened in my town 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We have a lot of Dollar General stores where I live. The chain was started in Scottsville, KY just down the road from me. It was the only place I could find toilet paper back in 2020 during the pandemic. Sure it was more like sandpaper, but sometimes you have to make do.
And real sandpaper clogs your toilet up! Won't make that mistake again, let me tell you!
@@bradleynoneofyourbizz5341 🤣😅🤣😅

The drive thru lol literally had a woman run her car into our store the first year I was manager, then had two cars blow up in our parking lot the same year. Hell of a place.
Either you live in North Georgia or this happens frighteningly often 😅
@@chrisnesbitt_jr How did you guess? lol
This happened a few years ago to a Wendy's in my town in North Georgia - or maybe it was Walmart. It might have been both. lol. Didn't realize it was just a this area thing.
Was this in middle TN? 😆
@@parrotsontheplateau3488 sounds like middle Tennessee!🤪
I'm from the Midwest, but have family in South Carolina, and I swear there's like 30 more Dollar Generals every time we go on our yearly visit
in the recent past (I'm in SC) they built a DG every 7 miles along the main highway I live near!
Congratulations on your promotion, Matt's dog Bruce! I'm sure it's well deserved. You know, you can't beat the price on kiddie pools at Dollar General.
Truth!

Good boy!
Bruice... spelled like Juice.
Everything was painfully accurate except finding a DG with an air conditioner. I Believe he discovered a dollar general in a pocket dimension or something...I just asked a worker the other week in one that they were complaining about the heat if they were allowed to pull items off the floor for store use, and if so, they should go grab some box fans and plug them up all over the store, it was miserable in there!
The AC is set at the headquarters office. The store can't even control it. That was amazing to me when I worked there. They fired me and it may have been the best day of my life.
Oh they have an air conditioner.. The vents are just full of and blocked by cardboard boxes.. If you remove all that you might find bruce willis skeleton in there.
The AC works fine to me. I have never gone into a DG with no AC.
My Dollar general has an air conditioner; it just never works.
My childhood DG had an old, brown one in case it got too hot in there, lol. I still remember the amazement as a kid when I discovered that the store had a bathroom. That was almost 20 years ago, and the store is still standing and in business.
I once lived waaay out in the country and the Dollar General was the nearest place to go shopping. I would seeing ladies leisurely browsing the shelves. I was there doing the same thing. ☺️
True! In the rural South, this is often the nearest store or only store in these tiny towns. Least I forget, either a DG or Family Dollar.
We have 4 grocery stores in this college town of 6 stop lights. And the folks still browse the shelves of 3 dollar general's!
Nearest as in "dollar generals lined up in a circle like a stonehenge with a crack head doing dances in the middle alter asking for a ride,some change and if you married...
@@THENEVERDEADIV the crackheads are strategically placed there for entertainment purposes only
I got there for stress relief. Buy a new dish towel or some toiletries. They have the best cookies - they are like Girl Scout cookies but available all year. Some yard art… Lately the ones I’ve been going in are pretty cleaned up. I like a good DG and Dollar and a Quarter Tree.
Funny!!! I remember a previous Dollar General segment and Matt exclaimed "Dollar General is out of control!" That hasn't changed. 😊
Dollar General is like a sentient, semi-harmless Eldritch being from another dimension. Who decided to just stay put and well... Allow mortals to buy wares.
😂"Those people have never tried Clover Valley Mayonnaise" 😂... brings back bad/funny memories of trying Clover Valley cola when I was broke years ago... no, just no! This was a great video, one of your best! Too funny...
They need to do a Clover Leaf taste test. Is any Clover Leag item worth eating?
The clover valley bread is fairly decent though
Come to think of it, if anyone needs to file bankruptcy, just tell the judge "I buy Clover Valley products... ON PURPOSE"!! That should work 😂
When I lived on the family farm, I was super excited to see a Dollar General get built nearby. I could go do my grocery shopping without having to drive into town. It was amazing.
"It's like an escape room, but the theme is OSHA violations" also describes the main shopping area...
Holy crap, this is on point! Like an estate sale at a hoarders. Hilarious!!!
I have at least 4 in my small Florida town. It's a favorite hangout for everyone. ❤
Omgosh! So funny! For 21 years we lived in a smallish town (10,000 people) that you could literally walk from one end of the town to the other end in 30 minutes & they had 2-3 Dollar General and 1-2 Dollar Trees 😂😂
I worked at a dollar general for six months and this is so accurate. The clover valley, the random dogs that come in, everything out of place, employees nowhere to be seen (they’re smoking weed in the back room most of the time). And of course the broken AC
They are the beating heart of small towns though. You see everyone and talk to everyone, kind of sweet in a way, giving a sense of community
sadly theyve helped destroy small town retail though
@@michaelmcclure9350 That was more of Wally Worlds doing. DG, and in my area Family Dollar have kind of helped bring at least something besides Walmart to go to. Usually closer as well. At least for cheap stuff.
I'm not sure what it is about the dogs, my closest one has had a few dog customers too here and there.
Or you didn't see employees because they were stocking out pf uniform, i do the same thing i hate dealing with customers while stocking cause normally they ask stupid questions
I love Dollar General. The old one, down in Magnolia fits all of these descriptions. But the newer one closer to me is twice the size, open and well stocked. I love some of the gardening things, and hit their $1 section regularly to see what is there. The newest one up the road the other way even has fresh fruits and veggies! But the dog thing, yeah. It's those automatic doors.
This was gold. Everything you think but never say. My favorite was "why is it so dark back here" and the boxes. Lol.
I needed to go to bathroom in a DG once it was like going through a creepy haunted house.
Also, we hadn't been to a DG in many years, like 10 yrs. We decided to go and thought this will be a cheap place to shop...*forgetting the past*...we spent $75.00 on crap y'all! 😱
The place pulls you in with it's dollar name, chews you up with the weird shitaki that happens in there, swallows you down with all the "oh that's pretty interesting" stuff and pukes back out into the daylight dazed and confused 😕 🤔🤐🥴
Ain’t it the truth? Last spring, I walked out with an entire set of 7 Dwarves garden gnomes. 🤷♀️
True. My favorite was the person who pulled up to the $General and drove right into the store thru the front wall. That happened when I was in a store.
So funny and so true. All of it!!😅
This is hilarious and on point! We just moved to a tiny town in the south where the only store is DG and my wife was not built for this 🤣
“Motor oil? You’ll find it in a box on the floor next to the paper plates.” 🤣🤣💯💯💯Sometimes I feel like I should stock the shelves for them.
Driving past the closest DG to go to the "nice" DG is a Southern tradition!
Everything spoken here is 100% true. I can't find anything, the shelves are never stocked, and their are boxes in every single aisle
It's an obstacle course if not a fire hazard!
That is because they are understaffed and over work their employees also you have to stock and run the register also no body who shops at dg knows what a self checkout is. Corporate also sucks.
They're taking a play out of Walmart's book... they figure since they don't have self checkouts, maybe they can at least get the customers to stock the shelves for them.
"Thats some CVS behavior right here".....still laughing. 😂 I get those receipts that look like wallpaper rolls.
And y'all quit hating on the DG! One year I was out of work and did my Christmas shopping for my bother and my daughter....and Christmas dinner!
Lol yes on the CVS part. I laughed so hard on that
I actually work at a DG😂😂I've showed my manager and she thinks these videos are absolutely hilarious😂😂
Did you see the video they made about DG’s literally popping up everywhere uncontrolled? Lol
@@somecrazyveteran yes I did lol
@@abs0711 where I live I’ve lost count how many DG stores there are here lol
I went to dollar general the other day they had a 50% sale the cashier asked another cashier how do I figure out what's half of the price and the other cashier said I just guess I don't got time to be doing math lmao
Wow. Shouldn't there be a UPC that they scan which makes the computer change the prices automatically?
@@Midala87 I think clearance items require an override and have to be input manually.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
@@brininahoward5445 nope, i work at dg and clearance does not mean a mark down in price all it means is that we don't get it anymore. Only way you are getting a deal in the store is if a sign says so other than that you gotta go by what thee computer says. So many customers come in thinking clearance means thee item is on some sort of sale when its not it clearly says over there as marked which means it is whatever the computer says.
I was once checking out about eight dollars worth of stuff and the teller looked at me and said that’ll be $.27 cents. I was rather stunned I thought she had made an error but it turns out they don’t have a problem with 97% off sales prices. Of course I think everything I bought was over six months old!
Things get marked down, if they haven't moved, especially seasonal/holiday. Last chance are items for a penny. Hunting 'pennies' is a big thing for many DG shoppers.
I have never, EVER, ever, heard of such a thing. That happens *never* in the upper Midwest. Wow.
Worked there.Doesn't happen up north as they throw away the penny merchandise.
@@lindakluth5611 because they don't help the sales of the store and dg employees are demons who find helping customers not worth it usually because customers are usually assholes, dg is just a jungle tbh i know cause i work there.
@@lindakluth5611 They don't throw it away. They just put it back on a truck and send it down south, dust and all.
Having been a key holder at a DG I can say that this video is 100% accurate!
I love ya’ll! Your videos make me smile so much. So much hateful crap on the internet, then you guys come out with these cute videos. Thank you. I feel like it’s a wholesome vacation from the hate.
There are some DG's around me and I have never even been in one. However, Dollar Tree, oh heck yeah. I love Dollar (and a quarter) Tree.
I honestly really like DG 🤣 Saves me from driving out further for odds and ends I need.
I live so far out in the sticks I actually appreciate our Dollar General, especially after the grocery store went out of business.
"I've seen better lighting in an outback steakhouse" 😂🤣🤣
I have NEVER heard so much truth crammed into one roast before 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the shelves behind the one guy are empty because that's how it's been in the 14 or so DGs near me lately. They were pretty full until about January 2021, then after that they sorta started drying up. I'm trying to figure out what's different in the country since then that could possibly correlate with that....by the way, do they sell baby formula? And Clover Valley mayonnaise is just fine if you're only using it as a lubricant in farm equipment.
Lol....this is the most truth ive read in awhile!
That going another half mile to the newer fancier Dollar General - oh yeah, been there done that.
Same. There is a rundown DG about 4 miles from me but I instead go further down the exact same street about 1 mile further down to the newer one. Since it's only a couple months old it's stocked, clean, and always neat. Opposite of the other two in town.
Sweet we have Big Lots, Dots, 99 Cents Store, Dollar Tree, Dollar Store, and I think one or two Dollar General's. We've also got something called Canned Food Outlet..that we love. Love discount shopping!
So true, y’all. Only thing they didn’t mention was the clearance items that weren’t really clearance; they’re regular priced items on a shelf marked “clearance.”
Dollar Generals are a wreck. Matt was right. I never know what things cost because there's no price tag and, there's no one to respond to my questions. Even though Dollar Tree is now a $1.25, I will take my chances with them.
I laughed so hard at the beginning when she said this wasn't here yesterday. So f'in true
Ooh stores, great job! I look forward to a feature on the Walmart It's a Southern Thing 😄🙌🏼😘
They already did one.
So true and it's incredible how they keep on popping up in cow pastures around here
I used the self checkout last week and it has such a strong southern accent the fact that it didn't say "have a blessed day y'all." felt wrong.
I can relate! The dog as a cashier was the best.
"Once I went into the back room and got trapped by all the boxes..." That happened to me...except I was in the aisle.
We have a Dollar General in a town of 800. And we have the resident dog (Bentley) who comes in checks out the store, greets customers ( which is something employees don’t do) then goes home after his snack.
Estate Sale at a Hoarders House-- I howled!
" It got too messy, they just gave up & shut down." That was funny😁
I had friends from another country visiting that asked me what a Dollar General was. The best way I could think to explain it was it's a mini Walmart
With the prices being more expensive than getting it at a Walmart or any normal chain store. Everything is designed to look cheaper but at a cost of reduced portions and quality. They are known for spreading in low income areas for a reason. I rather buy in bulk and save in the long run.
My son is in school overseas and has made friends there that specifically want to visit a Wal-Mart when they visit our country, they have nothing like it in their home countries.
@@kevins4213 if your son has friends from the UK, they most than likely have been to Asda , three guesses as to who Asda:s parent company is. It's not Walgreens, Costco or Rite Aid
Where I a man they have at times beat Walmart in paper products and milk
@@kevins4213- Yet.
This is so accurate! The DG closest to me is the fancy new one because it caught fire and they had to renovate 😂
I hear both Liz and Ryan. A Dollar General opened about a half mile east from my house last year. A week ago or so, I was traveling west and saw a cement pad being poured a few miles from my house. A few days later, *poof* another Dollar General. And I live in Connecticut.
"It's like an escape room, but the theme is OSHA violations."
Oooo... I *SO* want to try that escape room. Sounds like a hecka lotta fun.
Mat: One time I went into the back room and got trapped there by all the boxes. It was kinda fun actually.
Every retail employee: Yep. That’s why we take so long when you ask us to check in the back. It so peaceful and quiet.
LOL. That receipt really does look like that, and it ALWAYS has that $5 coupon attached to it.
This is a perfect description of the dollar general down the road from our house. I can never tell who actually works there; getting in the checkout line is always like Russian roulette to see which person you thought was a customer slides behind the counter to ring you up. And going down the aisles is like playing hopscotch in a mine field.
We have 4 dollar stores in a 10 mile radius and they are all the same...you guys got the dollar store ......spot on!!!..good job!
What a dream come true
In my tiny little home town “one” of the dollar general got a squirrel inside and they called the police. That’s not the bad thing. An officer showed up and pulled his firearm and shot at the squirrel inside the dollar general. He was shocked when he got fired.
Oh Mylanta!!!🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Bubba shot the jukebox..." Gross! I can see bloody squirrel fur & meat all over their cookie packages & school supplies!!! Hopefully, he didn't come close to hitting any customers!! I'm a LITTLE surprised he got fired, too. So many of these are in the rural South! He solved the problem, didn't he??
There were no squirrels or customers shot but even in the blue ridge mountains of Tennessee it’s a big deal for a police officer to fire a weapon.
😭😭😭😂😂😂
Who is hating on DG? I LOOOOVE DG. Plus, their company is so generous and gives charity for literacy programs.
I like how Dollar General is the dollar store of the dollar stores, and Dollar Tree is the target of the dollar stores.
I’ve “shared” It’s A Southern Thing’s last General Dollar video with numerous people, and this one will be shared too. Good work, guys.
Why did you use quotation marks for the word shared?🤔🤔🤔
I have no idea. I agree. A punctuation error. Mea culpa.
We have a New Dollar General 6 minutes away. Yes I GPSed it!!😂😂😂 One day it was a dirt lot. A week later.. A 💵 General.. 👀 👀 AC & a Self- Checkout!! Hallelujah 🙏 🙏
I love that the dog spells his name differently! :)
we love it too. good prices on some stuff. most have a $1 aisle towards the back with nice options too.
My dollar general is the only place you can buy groceries in my city. You have to go one or two cities over if you want a Walmart or a big grocery store. It's a mess, but at least you get basics without having to go into town.
"Like an escape room, but the theme was OSHA violations." I'm DYING over here. So true, y'all.
When I worked at Toys R Us, our managers were on us like ducks on a June bug if we walked more than 10 feet from a stocking cart. Even if you just needed to run to the bathroom, you had to put the cart back in the back first. And it was one cart per person; you were never allowed to have two carts sitting there and only one person working off of them.
Now that I work in commercial real estate and handle litigation, I understand why they were so strict. So I am completely confused why DG puts out all of the carts all at the same time--most usually during evenings and on Saturdays, when the store is the most-crowded--and never has anyone working on them. Their aisles are already narrow, but with a cart in it, you can't get through with a buggy, and often not on foot, either.
How they haven't been sued into correcting that behavior, I don't know. Normally I'm against most slip-and-fall litigation because it's BS (e.g. someone slipped in water IN A PARKING LOT; like, is someone supposed to mop it every time it rains?), but when I'm holding onto shelves so I can step over crap in the floors at the DG, I'm thinking I would not cry for them if someone did.
"$5 off the store." One of the better lines.
The “new fancy one half a mile away” is so true for me, we had a normal DG and then recently they made a new one less then half a mile away, and it a Dollar General Grocery
We had two in the last year that simply moved across the road to a new building.
There's literally 3 a mile and a half from each other in my town.
@@crisraines6664
We have two now, a quarter mile apart on the some road in a town of less than 10K. They couldn't staff the first one, now neither one can stay open at the same time or for the entire day combined.
@@virginiamoss7045 Only way to get them stocked and clean lol
Spot on! Can absolutely relate to going to the "fancier " DG with AC(mine was about 2 more miles away). The closet DG never had anything I needed AND I absolutely go to Dollar Tree for party supplies.... DG is way more expensive than any other store for all their items! Except Dr. Pepper when they have a sale on it & with $5 coupon, cheaper than WM!
Closest
DG always has everything you need. It just in the boxes stacked 6 high on the carts that are blocking the isles.
If you find what you need you have to stock all of that item on the shelf. Then you get a $5 coupon.
@@whitsend11 Yup.. always on those metal cart things too! Lol
I've found my person! I was always so grateful when they were running a special on Dr. Pepper and I could use the $5 off $25 coupon too. It was nice to take a 2 minute trip rather than a 30 minute trip to Walmart too. They had pretty good coupons on Tide too. I haven't set foot in a Dollar General since 2020 after I moved though. I appreciate having many easily accessible choices again!
It's like there's one dollar general in your area, and then two days later, there's two more on the next block. 😂
Well, she did say that specific location wasn't there yesterday and a minute later she said she sometimes goes to the newer one a half mile away. 😺
I love the "This was not here yesterday" part, because it's so true. They just seem to pop up overnight. Also, here in rural PA, our Dollar General has a hitching post, for Amish horse and buggies. Beat that, Southerners.
When DG opened in my little western NY town in 2000, maybe ‘99, I felt like a sweepstakes winner
Affordable NICE clothes even - remember? On racks in middle of floor, not just sweatpants and bras stuffed in an aisle.
All the plastic drawers and bins!
Cheap food
Cheap toys
I immediately said-a miniWallyWorld!
DG finally filled their Bingo card in my county here in Michigan. Every little town and village in the county has their own DG now. The last one is literally between two cornfields
There's a DG in Macomb Illinois. Only been there a couple of times, but I prefer Family Dollar and Dollar Tree to DG.
When I was “really” poor I bought the Cloverfield brand version of Chicken in a Biscuit crackers. One bite and decided I wasn’t “that” poor. At that time my TV was via antenna, no internet, no cellphone, no subscription of any kind, and my efficiency apartment didn’t even have a kitchen stove.
Some things, like Chicken in a Biscuit you just don't skimp on!
Cloverfield?! Don't you mean Clover Valley?
It's like an escape room. That had me dying!!
I went into DG last week for one thing. Came out with five items including a Jurassic World dinosaur pop it fidget toy that I absolutely did not need. Some kind of magic, I tell you.
I absolutely love Matt’s line about the stock room.; “it’s like an escape room except the theme is OSHA violations.” I laughed so hard. This whole video is a DH roast. A lot of what they said also applies to the Walgreens I used to work at except the line about the lightning. It was brightly lit so you could see the mess better.😜
The smell thing is so spot on. I went to a brand new Family Dollar (my area's version of Dollar General) and it smelled exactly the same as one from six years ago. What, do they pump that smell in like they do at Disney World's Pirates ride? If they do, what's it called? *Smells Like Cheap Crap.* So many questions.
I do go there and buy things once in a great while though. Every now and then you find something you could not possibly live without, and you don't pay much.🤣
Funniest thing....we lived in a small community called "Pumpkintown" for a few years....place has been there forever...like founded in 1795 forever!! Two years ago they opened their first new store in EIGHTY YEARS....and it was a Dollar General!! 😂😂
Dollar General has gotten out of hand where I live. There are 28 Dollar General stores in my area.
A Dollar General opened a mile from my house a year ago, I haven’t been to town since.
There was a DG next to where I used to work. This is more-or-less my experience with them in a shellnut. They kept extra drinks in the cooler just for me because I became one of their regulars.
A shellnut?! Don't you mean nutshell?
My friends in Idaho said they don't have a Dollar General and I was so confused by that. 🤣
“This is some CVS behavior right here” Matt speaking the truth 🤣
1:27 Lmao! This past summer, my closest DG closed early in the afternoon each day because their AC was broken, and they apparently weren't in a rush to get it fixed.
yep ..: the one closest to me did the same exact thing for the same reason… LOL
