Place is always a mess and appears poorly managed. Long lines, understocked shelves etc.

The ability for quick stops and mid week groceries is invaluable.

Let me start off by saying that I am thankful Dollar General market is here and I appreciate what they do to keep food prices affordable. It's the only other competition for Ramey's, the full sized and extremely overpriced grocery store here in town. Due to size and other constraints there is a limited variety of selections and items. Lately the shelves are mostly bare and empty. Not sure if this is related to covid or other reasons going on in the US or if the items are in the back and they're just not being placed on the shelves due to lack of employees and/ or poor management. Overall the store is kind of depressing, unclean, unorganized, poorly lit. It is a relatively new store but it's already looking run down, it could be managed better to make for a more positive shopping event. Checking out can be a rough experience, there's usually only one lane open and it seems like everybody shows up at the same time, they try to herd you through the 10 items or less lane which doesn't have any counter space because it's full of junk merchandise, so you have no way to put your items out of your basket ahead of time. (Slowing checkout time) The employees are not trained in proper ways to bag items (you don't put chicken in with other food, you don't put heavy stuff next to your chips or your fruits that are going to get crushed) there is a way to logically and efficiently bag items so that they don't get damaged or cross-contaminated or need to be re bagged by the customer. Whatever the reasons, be it corporates promoting or hiring the wrong managers, lack of proper training overall, lack of properly training employees, or hiring individuals that don't care or understand how to conduct themselves in a position where "people skills" are needed. If you're going to take a job take it seriously do the best you can do no matter what it is. Take pride in your work you're in a job that requires people skills, whatever you got to do put on a fake smile, say have a good day , whether you mean it or not. Smiling ,saying nice things and being positive helps everyone.
