Dollar General is a store that aims to meet a family's complete supply needs for consumable home goods like cleaning, hygiene, and other house supplies. It is often described as a fast and easy shopping experience for a few items, comparable to the grocery equivalent of fast food. The store can be a place to grab snacks or a basic staple item quickly. Many customers report a great experience, noting the store was clean, safe to go in and out of, and that cashiers were polite, professional, and helpful with a contagious, positive attitude. However, experiences can vary significantly by location. While some stores are clean and easy to shop in, others can be terribly cluttered, with aisles that are difficult to navigate, creating a fear of knocking items over or falling. The business model involves locating stores in rural areas, and it lacks fresh food, with very limited frozen and refrigerated options. Most food shelf space is dedicated to snacks, junk food, and soda, leading some to compare the food shopping experience closer to a higher end gas station than a full supermarket. If expecting a major grocery store, customers will be disappointed, but for a fast trip for household essentials, it often meets expectations. The work environment for employees is noted as demanding, requiring dedication and mature people. Employees work very hard, often unloading their own trucks, stocking merchandise, keeping the store clean, and trying to make customers happy, which can lead to burnout. Management friendliness can also vary between locations.
