Top 9 Reasons to Avoid Dollar Stores

3. Scanning issues

In a place like a dollar store, where thousands of items are being sold, errors are more likely to occur when a large number of little items are scanned quickly. According to a recent report from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in North Carolina, numerous neighborhood dollar stores were among the nearly a dozen stores that committed significant enough scanning errors to incur a fine. Can you believe that?

Imagine how many hundreds of products were skipped for scanning just because they were small and probably mixed up with others. I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of an employee at one of these stores! What if the penalty was taken from their salary?

    Perhaps the chain grocery stores should take a look at their prices as they are driving the mass of customers to the Dollar stores…It seems the only place one can cut cost is here as you have a choice of where to shop…Plus the near empty shelves also is a factor…

    I shop at 3 – yes, 3 – grocery stores regularly because the major grocer, Publix, changes to new products so often I can’t get what I want so I go elsewhere. I have to buy 24 cans at a time from Chewy because this area doesn’t get cat food regularly – but go to South Florida upscale neighborhoods and there you will find all the cat food you want – at inflated prices. This year my grocery bill has gone up at Publix by more than 30%. Inflation isn’t an excuse. The big stores are gouging us. No wonder we look for deals elsewhere.
