“I would first like to state that the quality of the store is immaculate, however my experience here yesterday was sullied because of three employees who decided to not only RACIALLY PROFILE my family and I but also ECONOMICALLY PROFILE me. What started as a trip to the store for my four children to go in and pick up a few items for our Saturday, ended with my oldest daughter expressing to me that she didn’t like how they thought we were stealing and she’s only 9, to have observed what was being done. As we were checking out my register was locked by an associate. Conveniently enough the three that had just been gathered around the registers all dispersed and were no where to be found. Once an employee showed up, he witnessed my scanned items placed in the bag on the counter, my cart which still had items to be scanned, and THREE candy necklaces I was in the process of scanning. He proceeds to ask me if we are done checking out before entering his log in to allow us to continue our purchase. STRIKE 1. After he enters his log in he looks on the screen to see what was scanned then proceeds to rifle through the bag sitting on the registers counter. STRIKE 2. I grab the bag to proceed to another register to continue my purchase because it became apparent what his assumption were. Lo and behold I was locked out of that register as well after attempting to scan one of the candy necklaces. I turned and asked if the reason I am being locked out is because of something with the product. HE THEN TAKES ALL THREE NECKLACES FROM ME, TAKES THRM TO THE BACK OF THE STORE AND RETURNS WITH ONE AND ANOTHER PIECE OF CANDY I NEVER HANDED HIM. He asks if he could scan the items himself, I politely told him I no longer even wanted the items. He turns around to ask me how many of the necklaces we had, I answered, and he then proceeds to ask me where the other two were. As a reminder I handed all three to him before he went to the back of the store so here we are at STRIKE 3! At this point I’m heated because I am with my kids experiencing not only an inconvenience in the midst of a outing for them, but an encounter I never thought could happen to us. Especially in a shop as inexpensive as this store. We watched several customers check out yesterday morning with no issues. It is unfortunate that my experience was ruined because of those three employees ( 2 African American females and 1 African American male) saw me and my family and decided based off what they perceived us to be, to make an example of us in front of other customers in the store. It was beyond humiliating and upsetting for my children to have been left with this impression once we PAID for the items and left.”
“Best kept secret 🙊 Ollie's have the storage containers heavy duty with top included for 4.99 to 8.99 loving it picked up 6 today very much needed. 1 negative is that they are stcked up and very hard to separate.”
“Valley has a lot of good stuff. The prices are reasonable. The store is well organized and makes browsing time quick. Because the clothes are color coordinated, it's less of a hassle. I donate to Valley because to me they help the community more.”
“very nice, well organized love it! great workers there i HIGHLY recommend you going here for party items or any cute supplies AND for basically everything you can think of! highly satisfied!!! THIS STORE IS GETTING A 5 STAR RATING FROM ME!”
“I just want to say that I am very proud of Dollar General for giving their employees Christmas day off my mom and my significant other works thereand it's nice saying bigger companies like that give their employees special holidays off like that instead of being greedy and money hungry like most are gray store very clean!!”
“Dollar Tree was a very nice place to go for seasonal items. I bought some Christmas items that were priced just right. I also purchased items for some crafts I made and plan on making in the future. The staff was available and eager to help.”
“Don't get me wrong this is one of my favorite Dollar trees to go to seeing how I used to work at the one on East mockingbird the main reason I go to the stores because the old manager she was really really sweet and kind and I really liked her now there is a cashier there that's a blonde young lady she's a sweetheart she is a really good cashier and she's sweet last time we went to the store it was really bad because there was boxes everywhere you couldn't even go down the aisles and I'm thinking do they not have a team that does their exhibits at night cuz they don't have any exhibits at the end of their aisles like all other Dollar trees that you go to they have a people that come in at night and do the end of the aisles with display I was mad because I went in there after I had spine surgery and I had to use a walker well there was so much stuff on the aisles and there was a guy that worked there that wouldn't even move out of my way and I'm like excuse me sir he's like oh I'm stalking I said I understand but I'm a customer I'm trying to purchase stuff and you won't move from in front of me but nevertheless I was okay with everything I just wonder why there's so many boxes and why they don't have a display team to do all the stocking at night after hours”
“Place is great. Clean and friendly. There is a dog who lives in the house behind here and hangs out in the parking lot during the day, so drive carefully, and get him some snacks.”
“It's my mission to review every Dollar general in Columbus this one is not that bad even though it's on Buena Vista it's pretty clean and they have a ton of inventory four out of 5 stars just because of its location from my home.”
“This is our go to place between grocery shopping trips. They usually have good snacks and drinks. They have good frozen foods too. Check out can be slow, but about what you would expect.”
“Marcus is always so extremely friendly and professional when I come to this location. He even had some elegant gentle sounds playing for our enjoyment. I joked with Marcus and said this is how you keep customers shopping longer with this amazing music?lol He stated No ma’am. I love to see Marcus when he works because he is the ONLY employee who even acknowledges my presence, and no one ever ask do you need help!”
“Great atmosphere Everytime I come. The guy working the register around 1pm 12/06/21 was very helpful and ken the manager always hold great conversations and provide help whenever in he is on store grounds”
“This place is really good considering the lack of staff when I went a few times. Most of the store was clean with a few wrappers on the ground but the staff did offer to help find things for me multiple times.”
“I just had to stop and compliment one of the employees that stood out from the rest. Ms. Ada made me, my Auntie and Pops shopping experience great. She was patient and so helpful. Although it was my first time here, I will be back just because the overall staff were friendly.”
“Sometimes you just want to run in and run out and not have to go to busy Wal-Mart. Good experience here. The manager greeted me immediately as i walked in and the young lady cashier greeted me and even told a joke or two and was very prompt in serving me. They acted like they were happy to be at work.”
“The Store:
This location is much better than the other ones nearby! It is large, very clean, and extremely well-organized. Unlike the store closer to me, this one does not have any outdated items on the shelves. Everything is new, fresh, and they have a really great collection of products.
The Staff:
The team here is very friendly and professional. It makes a big difference when the staff is welcoming and the store is well-managed.
Overall:
I would much rather drive the extra mile to come to this location than go to the one right next to me. If it wasn't for this specific store, I wouldn't even bother shopping at Dollar General. Highly recommended!”
“This Dollar General was spotless. Employees busy restocking shelves, but NEVER to busy to say hello. I was impressed as I have seen some not so clean Dollar Generals, but this one gets the blue ribbon!!”
“This is my FAVORITE DG in Columbus!! I have NEVER had a bad experience here. The ladies are always very sweet and knowledgeable. They're helpful, the store is neat. The lines may get backed up for a little bit but never anything too long and most times it's out of their hands. I just love it here, I shop at this store maybe 3 times a week or more because of the convenience. I can always count on them being open for my last minute needs and even if they're working a major holiday, they do it with a smile!! These ladies deserve a raise so corporate I hope that you read these reviews by your customers and act accordingly! ? Keep up the great work guys!!”
“It's funny how I'd never been in a Walmart in all my life, until earlier this year and now I'm all about them. We stopped in here to pick up some first night/first week type of items for my sons new home. His first place and I'm surprised I held it together as well as I did.We were here to grab kitchen and bath mats, shower curtain/liner/hooks, utensils, dish set, kitchen towels, air mattress/bedding/pillows all of the stuff we needed to get him squared away until his things arrive and we secure regular items.This Walmart met our needs. I couldn't get him on the Pioneer Woman line that I love, he wanted a more masculine theme ;) but we were able to secure many items to get up and running this week. I'll probably come back and buy up some Pioneer Woman stuff or ship over some Mackenzie-Childs and Le Creuset for my own sake and just store in a cabinet at his place for my own use.This may not be our go to home goods store obviously as I love Besos pricing and several other options but in a pinch when you're around town trying to get a home up and running in a few hours this place will help do the trick.Service was friendly and store associates were helpful.”
“Great finds !!! I’ve Been to several of the Black Friday Deals and it never disappoints. You have to be ready to dig for stuff and be patient.
If your not patient head to a mall and pay full price.
Happy shopping !!!”
“I love this DG! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the store is very well organized and neat. Unfortunately, the shelves have been very bare in certain aisles recently and I'm not sure why.”
