Be careful of how you shop here or you might be accused of stealing.Literally just went to reach for something I saw one day, and I wanted to see if it was still there. I then noticed an older lady with blonde hair (now pink) that works there, was watching me. So I started to get up and move on as I was uncomfortable. I went back to my best friend I was shopping with and she was following us. She then told us it was time to go and that she wanted us to leave, even though my best friend wasn't done looking for what they needed. Mind you, she wasn't kicking other people out. AND we still had a little time before closing. I thought it was a bit strange.. Now when my best friend goes to pay, she asked me if there was anything else I planned on buying, while standing next to the other lady at the register. (Who was my favorite by the way.) I said no, confused.. and she asked if I were sure, looking seemingly irritated towards me while watching us check out.When we left, I was very indistress on what I could have done that was so bad.But we eventually moved on from it, thought maybe I was just being paranoid and misunderstood her. However, she never did ask to see my bag or provide any proof. I had way more money than how much the book was...I came back at a later date. My little brother wanted particular supplies from there for school, so me and my best friend took him them. Then when she noticed me, she started asking me in a really rude tone, "what are you doing here?". I was honestly froze in the moment and didn't know what to say, I don't like conflict.Why would I also steal something that I can easily pay for if I have a job? The other girl that works there that had purple hair at the time, she always saw me pay.My best friend started defending me, and all the lady did was walk off. ? After that we went to pay again. There was also a new girl working there and she told us about how the older lady has been rude to customers a lot that day, we even saw some if it happened to other customers for no reason. She had quite an attitude. The new girl also told us about how she's the manager.Even if you've had that happen to you, this is not the right way to go about it and it's quite icky accusing good people.I would also like to mention that when her and my best friend were in an argument, She was trying to turn my best friend against me and said I was going to need an adult for now on if I wanted to shop there... Lady, I'm 19 years old lmaooo??She said if not, she was going to be watching me for now on. I don't like letting people get what they want, but it's also a complete waste of my time to shop there and put my money towards people like that. You've lost me as a customer, and you'll continue to lose more until you better yourself. This is a really unfortunate situation to me as well, because this is a quite close walking distance to my home and it made it more convenient for errands. I also shouldn't have to send my best friend in there while I wait outside, out of fear of getting yelled at again. I really did like y'all, but never again. You better hope you get the newer lady at the register and not the older one if you shop here.FYI, I've also heard the older lady making comments on a later date when I was here with my mom, and she dropped something. (which nothing broke and was picked up)This was a while ago, but it's worth the note. I also really like dollar general still, but not this particular location.

If I could, I would put no star, sometimes they don’t even have stuff stocked, and I haven’t had any good experiences while being in there, most of the workers there are really rude. There’s only one thats nice. I was thinking about working there but not after how I’ve seen them treat their employees.

This store has so much stuff in here. It's literally a "General" store as it says it is. Just don't come here if you are claustrophobic. You will probably have a panic attack at some point, especially if there are other people shopping in the aisles with you. There is not much room to move do to the amount of inventory in here.I stopped in today looking for some specific containers to fit my collectibles for traveling, and the cashier was super nice and let me bring a couple to the counter and even bring my collectibles inside to check and see if they would fit before buying them instead of wasting my money on something that wouldn't work and having to return them. That was extremely nice of her. I didn't get her name, but she was working today at the Altoona store at around 3:30pm...So if you read this, Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciated it.

2nd time at this location. The store did not open during the hour posted. The sign said 3pm. The store was not well kept and full of clutter. The isles were messy and not organized. I don't recommend this location.

I grabbed 3 things of embroidery floss in the craft isle, and the little sign said 2.75 ... but they rang up as 3.50 each. And bought 2 cans of asparagus the sign said 3.00 but rang up at 3.25 each. That's way more than a 2% error which I read is allowed in another state, but in Iowa there's the bait and switch law... I just wish they would follow pricing laws.

I was in the Altoona Dollar General today and was so surprised at how clean and organized the store was. The clerk was so pleasant and helpful as I am in a wheelchair and he offered to help me find what I needed,This young man was so kind and nice to talk to, I was pleasantly surprised. I do not know his name but he should have a score of 10!

I just want this store,company and customers to know how amazing there employee Ann is. I went in there today on a day where they have alot to get done and put away because they had alot thrown at them all at once,while still having to maintain the store and the customers that come in. She was on top of it the whole time with a smile on her face,positive attitude, and so friendly.you can tell she loves what she does and definitely need recognition for what she does to keep this store going!!

I used to shop here weekly but aisles are crowed and the cashier snapped at me when I asked where was she told me you'll have to look for it plus she didn't even have the courtesy of putting my bags in my cart, I'm disabled. If I do go back I'll check to see who's checking before I even grab a cart. This use to be the go to store.
