Dollar General

Walking into Dollar General in Minot, ND, feels like stepping into a familiar spot where you can grab everyday essentials without the fuss. Most customers appreciate the courteous staff; as Lynk Roivas put it, they are 'very courteous staff every time I decide to do my shopping here.' The store shines in terms of cleanliness, with organized shelves and clearly marked prices, making it a go-to for quick shopping trips. However, not every experience is rosy, and some customers have voiced frustration about the store’s operating hours. Linda Wobbema's experience of being left waiting outside until almost 10 AM, despite an advertised 8 AM opening, raises a concern for those who might rely on this place for early morning errands.

What also caught my attention was a recurring theme regarding the store's atmosphere. Alex Quarstad noted a strange odor, describing the store as having a 'WREAKED of cat pee' scent, which could be off-putting for some shoppers. But then again, it seems that a clean, well-staffed store like this is what keeps most people coming back, as Alison Selvey praised a young employee named Lamont for his respectful and friendly demeanor.
