Editor's Review

Walking into Dollar General in Manchester, CT, you can feel the bustling energy, but it often comes with a side of chaos. Many shoppers appreciate the variety of items offered, from everyday household products to snacks for a road trip. However, the contrast between the selection and the store's upkeep is striking. As one reviewer aptly put it, 'Waiting in the checkout line and take a look at this trash and mop water in the way' (San Nelson). It's clear that cleanliness and organization are recurring issues, with customers noting cluttered aisles and items left out of place.

On the flip side, there are shining moments of customer service that stand out. For instance, Christopher Ross raved about his experience with Kat, saying she was 'the best cashier I've ever dealt with at this store.' It seems that while some staff members may need a little more training, others are doing their best to make customers feel valued and informed, especially when it comes to using coupons and navigating sales.

To sum it up, Dollar General in Manchester offers a mixed bag of experiences. The affordable prices and variety of products attract many shoppers, but the inconsistent store conditions and customer service leave room for improvement. If you're in a hurry and need to grab a few essentials, this could be your go-to spot, but don't expect a perfectly curated shopping environment.

Best for: Budget-conscious shoppers looking for a quick and diverse shopping experience.

The Assistant manager Jahquinas is less than professional and felt ok to FOLLOW my 4th grade 10 year old son who just made student of the month around the store and tell him a rude statement ending in AKA DON’T STEAL. He was picking out chips for us ...

Nice variety of items but the cleanliness of the store and attitude of the one staff present was atrocious. Waiting in the checkout line and take a look at this trash and mop water in the way.

Crates left on front of freezer, in aisles. Crowded aisles and messy. Asked where item on sale was, clerk had no idea because "he just started his shift". Anyone actually managing? Carts left outside, some broken already. 9/2/25. No improvement. St...
