This place took advantage of my special needs brother in law refused to refund his money without a receipt when they didnt even give him one and i truely believe they ripped him off. i will not shop at such a store the employees and way they treated me was horrible really my grade is no stars currently but its due to the employees

They consistently close their doors before their closing time of 10pm. Went to the W5th DG in Waterloo for something quick for my family at 950pm 9/5/21 and the doors were already locked. This isnt the first time this has happened. Does not reflect well on Dollar General brand.

The inconvenience of the management of this store is absolutely and utterly staggering. Always out of or not stocked with the most basic of items needed.

Is this store going out of business? Many empty shelves and didnt look like anything was getting restocked. I just needed a quick birthday card so stopped in but wont be back. :-( Too bad as it used to be a nice store a couple years ago.

Dirty, people outside always begging for money/change, Nothing is stocked, shelves are horrible. People always fighting. Kind of dangerous place to ship depending on time and weather. Get it together

Surprisingly clean under New Management oh my God the place looks so put back together. You can actually look a the clothes and get down the isle. I stopped coming here for a while because it was a pig pen, but its different now. Nice job to the new manager. 👍

Friendly service, if help needed they show you where product is

Review №15

A lot of empty shelves and overall cleanliness is 2-star at best. Stocking carts always seem to be in the way. Help is fairly friendly if you can find them. Okay store for everyday purchases, but the north Cedar Falls location is much better!

They had the things I required and I didnt have to go into a big/ crowded store. Prices are typical. The cashier was very friendly.

Ma
Review №17

They need more cashiers available on days they receive their supplies. 1 cashier, manager working with delivery, 1 employee training and a long clear down the aisle makes people upset. The trainer or manage should have been helping at the register to get the line down. Otherwise Dollar General is the dollar store I like the best. Other kinds arent as clean or have the variety of items.

I love coming to Dollar general I understand its going to be a crowded place especially on holidays, but my only issue was that there were three workers in the store and only one register open and the line was half a mile long.

West 5th store is Dirty, not stocked and the staff is very unprofessional!!!!!!!!! Never going to find the store stocked or clean. Probably wont be able to get what you need. University Ave store is the cleanest dollar general in this area! Hands down! Stocked and good customer service!

Review №38

I dont like when I shop there for food they usually carry & shelves are empty, they are out of stock. It also is difficult to get through aisles when stockers & pallets of items clog them up Traffic Jam!

Review №43

This is the worst DG I have ever been in. As a former DG employee I know for a fact that the condition of this store and the attitude of the staff is completely unacceptable. Upper management should spend some time either training the current staff or replacing them.

Ka
Review №44

Couldnt get down a couple of isles due to clothes laying on the floor and a large cart with boxes blocking the way. Many items not in stock or on shelves.

They need to be more careful about marking their items with the correct prices, but its a nice store with nice employees otherwise. :)

Ri
Review №48

The employees ignored me when I asked for the bathroom key and when I tried to get a price check. Their product choices are very poor as well - 20 different brands/sizes of fabric softener and 1 brand of overpriced detergent to choose from, thats freaking ridiculous.

In a nutshell this location is a sinking ship. Its dirty, chaotic, overstocked, under stocked mess. You get the feeling that the management team has just given up

Casher was super nice but overworked, all other employees stood around gossiping, loudly. had to move shelving units and merch. Off the floor for women in a wheelchair. Not one employee stopped to help her. You need more employees like your cashier and fire the rest.

Review №90

Disorganized, store always cluttered and dirty. Employees rude, unfriendly. Its either the clientele, employees, or the neighborhood area why this Dollar General is this way. This Dollar General needs to clean house and take note of the other Dollar General Stores in town. Simple as that!
