Dollar General

Walking into Dollar General in Hardwick, VT, there’s a certain unpredictability that greets you. Will you find the essentials you need, or will the shelves be bare? As some reviewers have pointed out, shopping here can sometimes feel like a gamble. For instance, Haywood Jablomi described the store as smelling 'like sadness' and highlighted the handmade ‘Closed Early’ signs that often greet eager shoppers. But, for all its quirks, many agree on one thing: the prices are hard to beat. Susan Martin exclaimed that the 'staff are so very helpful,' emphasizing a positive aspect that shines amidst the mixed experiences.

However, that helpfulness can be overshadowed by inconsistent management. Jerami Lavine shared a frustrating encounter with a manager named Becky Joe, who adhered rigidly to her own rules regarding purchasing limits on Pokémon cards, despite what corporate stated. This kind of interaction creates a bit of a cloud over what could otherwise be a delightful shopping experience. Still, it’s worth noting that for many customers, the affordable prices keep them coming back.
