The last 2 times I stopped at iowa city dollar general it was CASH sales only, excuse was software update or card reader not working. Shelves not stocked boxes and carts of unpacked items in the isles. When able to shop prices were better than Walmart for cat food, coffee, toliet paper and personal supplies. Need to get organized!!

Need to place items with correct prices. Their elderly gentleman cashier held up the line from talking so much to each customer. What should have been an in and out experience, ended up being 20 25 min because of having to go back and find right item to right price then go back t the end of the line

I had to give at least 1 star to save this, but I am really giving zero stars!! It was a DUMP!! I love Dollar General stores, but this was beyond dirty and cluttered!! Also found what I wanted but the clearance sale had ended the day before. All signs were still up, clerk did not honor it, even though there were at least 6 signs around the aisles.

Was needing to get laundry supplies. Arrived at 7:55, sign showed they opened at 8:00 am. I waited around and finally left at 8:30 am, as they hadnt opened yet. They missed out on 5 other customers as well.

Review №24

It is what it is...prices higher than Walmart, but sometimes it is just more convenient than going to the big store. Most DGs, like this one, could use regular cleaning. Pretty dirty, and carts of product and/or empty cardboard sitting in the middle of aisles.

I had to go to autozone and spend 10 dollars on a screwdriver instead of 1 dollar because dollar general closes at 5 pm.

I love DG anywhere I go but this location was messy. There was stuff scattered everywhere and a lot of it didnt even have a price on the shelf. I still love DG but I need the employees that work here to love it just as much.

Review №31

I feel the store is very messy and filthy because the staff show they hate their employment and just dont show much care for customer. The store everything is just laying in aisles where cannot really get around very easily. I feel the staff regardless if they like their job or not to show 100% respect to their employer and customers by being upbeat and helpful to customer by showing them to what they are looking for. The endcaps are so full and set if you take out 1 item the rest would fall on them. I feel if make the store stay clean and appear so customer have positive experience and clean restroom facilities.

Review №32

Double charged items and items I didnt even choose and the app wouldnt work for my coupons to take off!........2/17/20 It has been a month...I cant find receipt .. Most likely due to some... im sure DG policies, I assume I wont get back a thing.

The store is clean, well organized. There is some merchandise being placed in the aisles. Not a lot of staff, I would say. The lady is not friendly. I didnt see a lot of christmas stuff. weird

They have more things than the other DGs. Col Junc needs a better variety for sure.

Re
Review №38

Items in the wrong spots all the time, so I think it should be one price and it rings up another. I dont always look at the tiny shelf sticker and that is my fault. But still very frustrating. Cashier is always on her cell texting. Looking lines most of the time. Its just so convenient to stop on my way home!

First and foremost this store has never been cleaned the shelves are empty and the store is sad! I dont think I saw an employee until I looked for one and they lied to me so I bought the wrong thing and the only reason why i am not returning it? I never want to go in there again!

Review №49

It was ok other than when we laid a cloth bag ON TOP OF the stuff we were buying, the girl took the stuff out from under the bag and put it into two plastic bags. The same thing happened at another store we had came from before we went to DG. I dont understand what why its so hard to figure that out.

Review №52

This is the worst dollar general. It looks like the apocalypse in there. Stuff pulled off shelves, things sitting on the floor all over the store, nothing organized. Whoever manages this store does not hire enough staff... I went one Saturday morning and they had one person working. Because someone came in to get 30 balloons filled no one else could be helped until she filled the balloons. The poor associate needed help.

This store is always understaffed and stuff is sitting in carts to be put away. But for some reason the employees are always friendly and very helpful, which is why I keep coming back.

Review №59

The staff is rude and usually is discussing personal business when you come into the store. The aisles are crowded and the store is usually filthy and unorganized. I was there just last week and one of the cashiers was very racist towards me. I went to pay for my items and before I could give her my card, she said Let me guess, EBT? I said no and then she went on to say, Oh wait, credit right? I said hell no, Im paying with my debit card. The rest of the time spent in check out was quiet and awkward.

This is the grossest store Ive ever been in my life. Its literally like its never been cleaned. None of the stuff on the shelf is pulled forward. Every aisle has inventory on the ground for some reason. Dark gross, yellow lighting. In the corner is a mess of extra inventory. The store looks like its been ransacked from an apocalypse. Cheap prices though.

Review №65

Some great prices on some items that are just as good as what youll get anywhere else, but wow what a mess... Whoever manages this location needs to start doing some actual managing. The state of disarray reminds me of the ridiculously overstocked and understaffed Petco I worked at a long time ago, except I dont know if anyones even trying to do anything about the clutter here. Ive seen much tidier Dollar General locations in other parts of Iowa and regional management needs to step in since I doubt whats been going on at this store lately can be very good for anyones image of the chain as a whole.
