😂

Exactly!

Hell yeah ! Take it out the fuckin window !

How do I find that number, do you know it? I googled it and it's only regular customer service.

Or don't be a Karen and try to take away one of the only good things those minimum wage employees were able to get.

@@CocoAvalon Having worked there, I get taking stuff and putting it back for yourself, especially with all the crap you put up with working there. But these employees made the mistake of leaving the items out, and if the items are on the floor you have to sell them, that's just policy. All they had to do was simply remove the items to the back.

That's just crazy to me.

😂 no I'm in Michigan but yeah they be in some BS. Next time I'll just be like you and just grab em myself 😂

I work regular retail all thru college. I even work Ralph Lauren boutique during holidays in Dallas ; just so I could have the employee discount. At both jobs we placed items in the back & had to purchase the day of the extra discount. (Etc) We couldn’t hold for longer .. 😏😏

That so messed up.

Right

It's ridiculous, but I really don't think corporate will do anything. They just want our money.

Terrible.

Oh wow. Yeah like 65% of the stores I go to always have boxes of products just sitting on the floor it's terrible.

I found a penny Shake n Bake by accident. It was on the top shelf.

Terrible 😕

They were ringing up full price the manager told me. That's why she called Corporate

Just terrible. I went to a DG last Monday and they had boxed everything up in 2 large brown boxes. Candy, decorations and anything Valentine's related... I went back Tuesday morning and nothing was there. I'm so sick of em

Oh wow, that explains why I never got anyone to answer when I had to call recently

@@smileyfacesboutique lol yep! Unfortunately the stores never answer the phones and as for the employee stuff, they should have sold it to you. If that would have been me, I would have sold it to you. You had every right to get that stuff.

Yeah I agree.

Ok yeah I know the do throw A LOT away but if it was being put back into their system then it shouldn't be sitting in plan sight. Maybe put it in the back room you know.

Yes I agree with you! That’s what they should do but sometimes employees are just lazy or too busy to even do so or they aren’t the employees that touch that department.(& don’t have a clue about inventory) I know that it’s supposed to be done by the store manager and or the merchandise manager but things don’t always get done right away if they have hundreds of tasks to do in a very short time frame. I worked retail for years and was a store manager for years until I got injured from never having enough employees to help. Nobody wants to work for minimum wage and to be asked to do more work for less pay. But I really loved my job just about every aspect except for the constant call outs or the no shows or the occasional stealers but I enjoyed seeing my almost every day customers and the employees that did work out for the long run. I loved merchandising and changing the entire seasonal section in a day or two and to see how happy everyone was with the results., to enjoy early holiday/seasonal shopping! 😊 You could also call corporate or ask for the store manager to make a complaint about your experience with the employee who didn’t have a clue. Maybe they need some training on customer service.

Thank you for giving me a different perspective.

Yeah I know that much, but she did tell me that it was for another employee. But yeah I get the fact that you're going to set stuff to decide for yourself but like you said don't put it in plain sight of a customer because we're going to think that it's okay to buy it as a customer. I've never encountered an issue like this before while shopping at Dollar general.

Wow, that's just so stupid to me how these big corporations would just rather throw perfectly good items or food away than to give it away.

Yeah I've experienced that too.

I bet, no wonder why they have a high turnover

I'm not sure who the employee was talking to, maybe a manager or something idk. Yeah at that point of going back and forth with her and someone on the phone telling her not to sell the items I just said forget it and walked out.

@@smileyfacesboutique I feel ya. It's not worth the headache, particularly at a Dollar General.

Huh?

? 🤔

No excuses for not having common sense. I have no issues with employees getting great deals, the issue I have is putting it where customers still can see it. 🙄

That is true, but why keep an employees items DISPLAYED IN A WINDOW? That's one of the parts that makes no sense. Especially after seeing that I was the 3rd person to ask about the items. Maybe they should've moved them to the floor behind the counter. That's what makes no sense to me.

@smileyfacesboutique Yes, I totally agree! That part is what had me thinking. I still wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Because they weren't coming up off the items, lol! Either way, It wasn't right. I hope she called corporate.

No I didn't call corporate but definitely could have been a time I could have, or at the very least the district manager.

She initially told me that they were a co-workers items. Then after talking to her about scanning the items to see what the price actually was and she then seen that they were a dollar she then told me that she wasn't allowed to sell them anyway even if they wasn't the employees... That's definitely scheming and scamming. But if you don't think so that's totally fine, carry on 😉

Yeah I definitely need them on speed dial 😄 but yeah it would help

You are definitely right about that. Unfortunately for a lot of people this is their only option living in the city. A lot of the big box companies like Walmart or Target are farther that DG or DT.

😎

If ya say so.
