“Went after the memory foam topper for bed but the store only got a few per the manager. So next time I see something in ad I'll be there the very day the truck brings it! First come first served.”
“I resently worked here, but quit Feb,2024; Still braids crew and we have great people who are regulars and they take care of us as well as we do them . We been known to have the best store in town ! On another note, sorry but the company itself is not great if your just starting out in the rat race as a youngin it's a very good start . I don't mind the job and the experience and the expectation of my job, I loved it, but I didn't like was the fact that Dollar General lies and says they care about their employees if they did as much as they cared about their customers we were making them plenty of money we'll be happy to go to work happier not dreading to go to work and barely making it because of the stress were under because of the workload because of the fact that we aren't making anything and the more we work the less we make. Get it together Dollar General you would think that paying us more put more acknowledgment and love and kindness into your employees it would make you more money think about it guys. I mean I would be glad an honor to do my job better if I made more and if they actually heard my voice and saw me. Don't get me wrong I love the job I love my people it's most of them, LOL. It actually was great in a way. The workload being thrown onto US ended up making me realize that all the work that I was doing and putting in was not being reciprocated and pay acknowledgment and respect. They talked down to us especially the managers like we're dumb, they expect us to perform miracles all the time stuff that they know is impossible and and think that they can just tell us we can do stuff that's literally impossible to do. And that they probably wouldn't do themselves, I mean I hate bashing things and people and companies but this company is getting ridiculous maybe if you put a lot of effort into respecting your employees and paying them more it would reciprocate and make money a person that's appreciated is going to naturally return the favor equals more money for y'all think about it though. Rant over thank you guys.Sorry but it's facts ! ?”
“The store itself is great but a couple workers are quite rude and I'm usually not the one to bite my tongue when someone is rude to me, but I'm also just gonna keep on smiling cause life's to short to be grumpy all the time especially towards people you don't even really know. So here's my smile ?”
“Definitely turning around for the better. We appreciate all of our customers and just ask that if you don't want something don't just throw it down wherever. Give it to the cashier or return it where you got it. The more we have to clean up the less time we have to try and get the freight off the floors and give you a good experience all the way around.”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026. The company calls this makeover "Store Experience 2.0." Gone are the cramped aisles and confusing layouts that once defined discount shopping. Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
