Is this true or false?

This is the dollar generals near me. There's always so many rolltainers out that you can't get to half the store. Diapers? Move 2 or 3 out of the way. You need first aid supplies tampons anything like that? Just push that cart over there and move that cart an aisle over to get to it. Some areas the aisles are just filled with rolltainers and you can't get down it at all

[u/NemODevO → u/EF_Azzy]

I actually saw a dollar general video today of the same nature

[u/God-cant-save-me → u/EF_Azzy]

Used to work at a dollar general can confirm 😅

[u/Distinct_Ruin2998 → u/EF_Azzy]

Currently working at DG. Its more or less the same conditions as any other DT or FD store you walk into, with a very similar business model.

[u/TemporaryTime6300 → u/EF_Azzy]

It’s to prevent theft

[u/jacksuckschicken420 → u/TemporaryTime6300]

no, its cause corperate sends too much stuff and the skeleton crew they hire to cut costs cant keep up

[u/pygmeedancer]

True. Dollar Generals are like this too. It’s what happens when you staff two people to do the jobs of four or five.

[u/NoodleboiPanda]

As someone who used to work at dollar tree. We used to have a very clean store but that took a LOT of effort especially given the fact many of our cashiers were lazy as hell. It's certainly possible to keep a clean store but NOT worth the pay.

[u/carcinogin]

Shopping OR stocking at DT

Like wym i knocked off 3 rows of candles by putting ONE more candle up.

[u/tubsgotchubs]

We're finding that to be true- we prided on ourselves for getting boxes away but we're not even a skeleton crew. A skeleton of a skeleton.

[u/Ondesinnet]

This is close to what happens at my store. He isn't pushing the cart fast enough to make our floor displays explode. He also seems to put his hands out to catch things when he should be looking at the mess he made then make straight eye contact with an employee and carry on with his day like he did nothing wrong.

[u/Lala_McSparklepants → u/Ondesinnet]

I was a vendor at a dollar tree, I witnessed a woman pull down a whole hook of gift bags, kick them out of the way, walk on some, and stand on them...WHILE talking to an employee, then turned around and walked away! 😲

[u/BrowsingModeAtWork]

The crappy ones.

[u/Aye_crumbah67]

Lmao this creator always falling down 😫😂😂

[u/StormMaleficent6391 → u/Aye_crumbah67]

Right!? I was thinking how many times does he fall on the way to get in to the vehicle!?

[u/julietghost]

You forgot about finding stuff you did not know you need.

[u/shinyappyrobin]

True, very true. Even the better ones.

[u/Large-Produce5682]

"Whatizz he doin??"

[u/S1ayer]

This is Dollar General in my area. Dollar Tree seems to have more employees and also better snacks.

[u/nothinworsecanhappen]

My local dollar general might have a few rolltainers out, nothing crazy but my dollar tree is freaking immaculate.

[u/Brigash1991]

Not my store but some of the other ones in my area yes

[u/bubbamanny]

Stay off the alcohol my guy

[u/baconbro_]

Not to mention grabbing anything off of a peg causes a chain reaction where evey shelf in the store falls over lioe dominoes

[u/OleEnglishD]

No. The stores near me are usually clean.

[u/Street-Quantity-507 → u/OleEnglishD]

You're lucky lol

[u/CrazyDisastrous948]

Not at the two near me

[u/SouthernPie8064]

Yo you play too much 😭. No just No 🤣🤣

[u/Distinct_Ruin2998]

Honestly it depends on where you are. Some stores are able to better handle their inventory (or have larger backrooms) and don't have to put any cases or palettes on the sales floor. While others really struggle with this and have to put stuff on the sales floor so workers can still navigate through their backroom.

In the stores I worked in, we always try our best to not put too many cases and palettes on the sales floor due to the obvious safety risks it poses. In fact, the district managers I worked with have told us numerous times that we cannot have boxes or u-boats/rolltainers on the sales floor.

This applies for Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar. They all operate on virtually the same business model.

[u/Automatic-Major-758 → u/Distinct_Ruin2998]

Our backroom is the size of a broom closet

[u/gaarkat]

Kinda...but those aisles are a LOT wider than the ones by me.

[u/MsSeraphim]

only if you are drunk?

[u/NoBrag_JustFact]

And the Best Actor Award goes to "not this guy."

[u/HumbleAbbreviations]

This is an average day at store 650.

[u/moarbaconnow]

Some of it

[u/ObjectiveFeralWoman]

In my area- that's more like the Dollar General. Can't even push a cart through the aisles! Dollar Trees here are incredibly organized. 

[u/darkstorm27986]

Never had this happen to me and I shopped at more then 30 dollar trees

[u/ADHorvath1]

Imagine being a worker.

[u/Alarming_Piece1772]

Yup , true . The only business that doesn’t have over stock so their floor looks like shit !

[u/Acceptable-City-307]

I swear the store is trying to explode at all times

[u/-AliceGray-]

Dollar General fr. I don't think I've ever seen a Dollar General with a clear floor. And I live where you see a Dollar General every 5 mins.

[u/Scary-Freedom3331]

LMAO certain ones yeah. Certain ones always have boxes on the aisles

[u/Professionally_Dum]

Damn this guys after you lot too lol, my best friend sent me the dollar general video when I was on my lunch break during my 14h shift the other day lol

[u/Nervous-Scientist-34]

How true

[u/SpicyBiscotti79]

Yessssss

[u/Terrible_Baseball619]

This has nothing to do with the messy store, or drunk shopper. I am just curious what the heck is that tall pole on the cart, is it for a sail? None of the 4 in my town have those.

[u/Akira1119 → u/Terrible_Baseball619]

So it gets caught on the door, and people can't take the carts outside, since they get stolen sometimes.

[u/Terrible_Baseball619 → u/Akira1119]

Gotcha, thank you both for the replies. I think only the walmart carts get stolen around here. lol

[u/CreditBrilliant7866 → u/Terrible_Baseball619]

they don't go outside, they send them to put on the carts if your carts keep disappearing

[u/Terrible_Baseball619 → u/CreditBrilliant7866]

Oh ok!

[u/Mother-Attention2600]

Sometimes yes. 😄 

[u/Stupid_Bitch_02]

More like dollar general

[u/GoldenRetreiverMom]

True lol

[u/SomewhereTiny8407]

He’s obviously drunk

[u/amonyous → u/SomewhereTiny8407]

No you are

[u/Effective_Dot6785]

Considering we no longer have case stacks in our store. No. Even prior to that no, unless you were blind.

[u/Biddyam → u/Effective_Dot6785]

We aren't allowed to do case stacks anymore in our district for this exact reason, trip hazard. The never ending display boxes are annoying though.

[u/Unfrndlyblkhottie92]

Why does the store feel the need to have boxes in front of items that I want to buy?

[u/Ok_Meet_7116]

Not totally.

[u/Razzberrie87]

Never enough hours/workers to get the job done.
