*The statement of Dollar General having top-notch merchandise at low prices seems non-neutral. If that was a quote from the website, it is OK, but this seems a bit leaning towards Dollar General.--Tim Quievryn 19:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The first picture looked like a retailer converted to DG, and the second one looks like a CGI pic from a pamphlet. I've replaced it with a picture I took myself of the new DG store in my hometown — I would think it'd be best if the picture shows a "default" store design.

message: Just curious what the history is behind the DG motto "Jesus Loves You"? Why is this company actively supporting a religion? Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.183.84.89 (talk) 02:05, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

message: "As of July 2018, Dollar General operates 15,000 stores[4][1] in the 48 contiguous United States."
"Areas served
	Contiguous United States (except for the Northwest)"
There are no Dollar General stores in Washington state, therefore they do not operate stores in the 48 contiguous United States.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:603:4800:2C88:D11:3143:F0C3:2675 (talk) 14:31, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi, I made an edit in "Dollar General" on Wikipedia. I am in North Dakota. First time, I went to DG in Steele, ND in August 2019. DG, the same Mini-Walmart. I drove through and across North Dakota. I suddenly saw these DG stores in Steele, Elgin, Hazen, Beulah, Grafton, Cavalier, Langdon, Gwinner, Belfield, Richardton, Edgeley, Ellendale, Bowman, Valley City, West Fargo, Lakota, 2 Minot, Underwood and Center. Multiple DG Stores in multiple very small towns in all over North Dakota. Counted 42 DG Stores in North Dakota. --Rossdegenstein (talk) 10:34, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

message: A reference to the mass shooting at a Dollar General in Jacksonville earlier this month had previously been added to the 2003-present history section of the article by @SuperbowserX, which was later removed by @Counterfeit Purses. References to mass shootings that have occurred in chains have been included and not included in their articles for different reasons.
For example, in 2022 there was a mass shooting at a Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and while a mention of the shooting was originally added to the article, it was later decided that it should be removed due to the fact that it did not effect the business as a whole, and just impacted one location.
On the other hand, when there was a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, it was decided that a reference to the shooting should be kept due to the fact that shooting impacted the way that the company would conduct its business, such as changing its policy in relation to the sale of firearms.
While it is also true that with other mass shootings that had occurred at businesses, such as the most recent other example with the Cook's Corner article mentioning the mass shooting that occurred there earlier this month despite no clear overarching impact to business, these locations are not chains, so the impact to the business is much more clear in that sense.
For this reason, and to avoid any possible edit warring I have brought this up here. Personally, in accordance to how the shootings were handled in regard to the Tops and Walmart articles, I am in favor of not including a reference to the shooting unless something significant changes as a result of this shooting in the business. ~~ RaskBunzzz (talk) 09:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
