Discount Stores near Weyers Cave, VA

“Happened across these reviews today, and felt I should give a counterpoint to the odd complaints I see here.

In reading other reviews, some are quite mean. This would be hilarious, if it weren't frequently irrational, and other people didn't use reviews to inform their shopping decisions.

Here's the truth of the DG in Weyers Cave, from someone who averages around one stop per week, as it's quite convenient to my home. Given Weyers Cave has essentially zero retail presence other than DG, I DO NOT want to see this store disappear, especially due to trivial reviews that often miss the mark.

Are the coolers sometimes broken? Yep. This can happen anywhere, but I recognize these coolers were down a long time a while back. In talking with employees (asking, not complaining), they were at the mercy of the repair company. Stuff happens, and people shouldn't be so precious.

Should one go into a dollar store, expecting a personal guide to show them where everything is located? No. This store is not that large, and therefore looking around to see if they have what you want is not difficult. If you want a personal shopper, go elsewhere, and be prepared to pay the additional price baked into goods, in order to pay additional staff. This is a convenience store, not Saks Fifth Avenue.

Are there lines to check out, every now and again? Sure. But, the staff is always clearly trying to complete transactions as quickly as they can, and get people on their way. If there is a delay, the vast majority of the time it's due to someone asking a question about inventory, and disregarding the employee's stress, and the customers who just walked around and found their own goods, and are now waiting to check out.

This is a good store, the employees do a great job working with limited resources, and I've personally witnessed them having to deal with myriad complaints, 99% of which are simply due to an unreasonable customer, with unreasonable expectations.”

“I like finding bargains at Ollie's. They recently reorganized the inside and it's actually a better arrangement now. The staff is hit and miss. Some are helpful and friendly while others look and act like they hate working with the public. Overall, it's a decent store. Except for coffee, the food and candy sections are the worst areas of the store. Lots of expired and/or overpriced items there.”

“4 stars for their pricing and customer service. There is no organization in their clothing section, nicknack sections, and the clearance section had broken items eveywhere and items all over the floor. Hard to navigate around the store if there is alot of people.
Good place if you like to "hunt" for good deals.”

“The Crimora Dollar General isn’t anything super special!
Just a bunch of low life freaks who hang out there…like us!
Close to us but super great!”

“Family Dollar is a good place to shop, especially if you are on a tight budget. You can find just about everything you need here such as; clothes, groceries, electronics and accessories, cleaning products, paper products, home decor, beauty and personal care products, organizing products, and so much more!”

“Good Location, Well StockedThe only negative things I can think of is that the store is not organized sometimes, they have stock blocking aisles.Some of the Cashiers are rude to the customers. This last time we a wonderful young man to help us.”

“Very friendly sales associate helped me & checkout associate just as friendly..actually the customers in line with me were too! 25¢ Cmas items including rolls of gift wrap, boxes & assorted size gift bags, money cards & more! Stock up for next Cmas!”
