Great customer service, manager went above and beyond to help. Clean store, friendly staff.
Aisles are far too crowded to navigate a cart. Not up to ADA or even OSHA codes, all throughout the store. Only one cashier who is sometimes available, as the self checkouts are permanently closed. Terrible music and radio is blasted far too loudly. Offensive music that just makes the shopping experience anxiety ridden and awful.
Typical small retail store. They stock seasonal items. It's a good place to stop in you need to grab something quickly while on the run. Small snack sized candies are convenient to grab as well.
I don’t know why this dollar general is even open. One star is way too good to give this store. There is never anything in stock. I can get baking soda a lot cheaper next store at the grocery store. Their prices are way too high. Their customer service is horrible. Employees are outside smoking all the time but the shelves aren’t stocked. Never in three years. Have I been able to complete a grocery list because they’re always out of some thing or a lot of somethings. We should just think about getting rid of this Dollar General. Close it down and let some thing else that’s more useful Move in to that area. They should’ve never have let this Dollar General build this store.
Store does not keep proper Inventory. Had a door dash order for 7 items today and only 2 we're available employee seemed unphased by the issue. There was stocking carts blocking more isle than not and an employee who didn't work there was of no help in finding the things on my list. DG needs to cancel their partnership with DD if they are not going to upkeep their inventory.
As I am a very frequent spender of my hard earned money at dollar general in the village of Ballston spa I find it to actually be more degrading to shop there day by day! The employees seem very bothered to do what their job entails of them and what they are paid to do! They do not respond to questions of help with finding merchandise they’ll just tell you where it is or no they don’t have it in stock when you clearly just seen it on a big metal cart blocking the back walkway of the paper plate aisle! A cart they just don’t want to put away for days on end knowing customers are asking for those products! As well as how they address customers I was in there at 8:30 on 3/18/2022 to purchase some hair rollers and I was rudely addressed by a very untrained unprofessional employee about smoking inside which I would never do and he seen me walk in with them and didn’t say anything at all at first then walked around an entire aisle holding a box that was empty just to say something that wasn’t needed! but again because he seen me carrying my cigarettes because I had no pockets and walked there from my actual place of employment before dollar general closed for the night, he assumed. His tone and body language was so disrespectful as all can be. as I simply responded my cigarettes aren’t lit if you could please look before being so impeccably rude to me as I spend my money here it would be greatly appreciated! If he just took a second too look up from the floor he seems to be in love with he would of seen that! This boy has been employed here for a while now and still seems to not know how to handle his job or how to talk to customers! I find It very unsuccessful and demeaning of a company to allow this unprofessional behavior to continue to happen! He should not be allowed to speak so rudely and if he can’t change how his behavior and tone is with customers and do his job that he’s paid to do then dollar general should replace him with someone who really needs the job and cares about the job! People like this do not make us want to spend our money here! This is also not the first time he has disrespected someone shopping there! A corporate complaint will be made this time. Too many companies are favoring this behavior and it must stop!
The women are nice that work here. I realize they may be short staffed and can't keep up with stocking the shelves however the boxes in the aisles are blocking other merchandise and other shoppers. Prices shown are not always what they ring up. Today I went there for a 1 day sale, the aisle that the item previously was in was not found so I asked a man that was busy stocking shelves. He didn't even look up just seemed annoyed people were there. He told me it's next to the seasonal aisle. It took me 3 aisles to find the kitchen item hidden on a shelf with blankets. Also when I type my phone number in they do not acknowledge a digital coupon. They are either rushing or ignore it. Today I entered my number in time and it was not honored. She put the receipt in my bag. When I went home and looked the receipt was half printed and no digital coupon. The self checkout never honors them either
Got to this store shortly after opening. Could barely move through the aisles due to carts of product that needed to be put away in just about every other aisle. Wanted to get paper plates and the entire shelf of plates was blocked. Employee was less than friendly, made me feel like I was an inconvenience. Not sure what happened here because this store was awesome when it first opened. Always clean and always friendly employees, Not the case anymore..I'll only go here as a last resort
Very clean and organized
They were mean and unhelpful
This store has everything and very clean and neat
Good
I had to one question for an employee. She was very helpful.
Low on merchandise
I dont mind this store at all. I go there sometimes just to pick up odds and ins.
Decent selection, decent prices. Never know what theyll have in stock so dont go in there expecting to find a certain thing. Place is usually in disarray, with half empty shelves and unstocked items cluttering the walkway. You might have to wait to check out because you cant know for sure when the cashier will be back. If youre lucky the self checkout will be open Sometimes you can find a deal if youre thrifty, if not then you might get swindled into purchasing an overpriced item thatll break in 5 minutes. Thats what makes shopping here so much fun!
Aisles are constantly blocked, has been this way since they opened. Most (not all) of the employees are always complaining about other staff.
I used to love dollar general the people used to be friendly but finding the West milton ny manager to be under trained and does a lot of things management isnt supposed to do. Especially smoking all shift no matter when you go shes usually out the front door. Tonight she was engaging in undermining a coworker to another coworker at the cash registers. Now unless I absolutely need something my business is leaving.
Really helpful staff and great variety of products!
Great
Everything that you could need at a reasonable price so I give this place a 5 rating
I was able to get a large envelope so I could mail paperwork out. I got quick service and very polite. All employees and customers had masks on.
Very clean, customer service is nice and and is in stock
Nice place to shop.
Low prices and friendly staff but limited refrigerated items due to half of the cases being out of service/ broken.
Went in but didnt purchase. I was really just checking prices compared to a few local gas stations.
Friendly staff
Prices are good, the store is kept pretty clean and well stocked.
The prices are responsible and the workers are very polite
I can shop there and get the items the Big Box Stores cant keep in stock. Shop in ease and safely.
Always love a good $General!!!
Extremely cheap oil for your car cant beat the price
Good thanks
Helpful workers great customer service
It nice place to shop you wrong every thing you buy is a dollar they have lot of cool stuff
Close to house, friendly, usually has what I need and great deals.
A decent Dollar General
It was very disorganized merchandise every where in every aisle you cant move through without concern of tripping no room for shopping carts to go up or down the aisles its always like this every time I go there so much for management if there even is any!!
It ok needs signs in the store so you can find what youre looking for.
Great price and easy quick shopping
Great store good prices
Could barely walk through the aisles in this store. Only one person could go at a time or you couldnt even fit the shopping cart down the aisle because they have stuff blocking the aisles . Im not gonna go to this dollar general anymore. I ll go to the burnt hills one if I have to .
Always find what I need
Store could be so much cleaner. Always their carts filled with product to stock directly in your way. One cashier that seems to always be having a terrible day. Very rude and horrible customer service. If she smiled, her face would crack.
Terrible.
Pleasure to shop here
Good customer service
During the pandemic, they did the best they could. They were under staffed. People werent nice to the staff that was there. Not their fault.
Always seem to have to track someone down to be rung out. And when theres a line of people youll see 2-3 employees standing there talking/eating and then finally one of them will start ringing people out. Quite frustrating honestly.
Shelves need reorganizing but what ya gonna do if the customers dont care either ? The crowded aisles makes it difficult to shop take more pride in your work space please and thank you.
Store, especially clothing is a hot mess!
amazing
Always have what u need
Good prices.
Everything a dollar stores supposed to be
Very kind and speedy service!
Always great stuff
We were short 21 cents and the cashier paid it and i was like: yknow? I love it and her
great deals... convienant
Excellent variety
Their name represents absolutely nothing about the dollar nothing is a dollar and things that are on sale or higher price than anywhere else straight up told me were a convenience
I Like this store. Convenient .
Convenient for odds & ends when I do feel like doing big store shopping
Always a good trip. Good deals and very good customer service!
You can find some real good deals there
Need to be more organized and needs more people to check you out. But you can not beat the prices.
Good deals, convenient one stop shop. Got Advil, drinks, dish soap and paper plates...cheaper than the grocery store.
Great place to grab what you need for the family
Cheap Shorts when in a pinch kid lost his in the river lol
Alot of china suff here
Great bargains and customer service!
Staff doesnt acknowledge customers

Best store. Has good prices for certain household products.
Good place
The Dollar General in Ballston Spa has a variety of products. Each day going is like you are in a different store, always something new. I have been in this store on several occasions, various time of day, and the store is always well organized. All staff will go out of their way to assist the customer. The store is an asset to Ballston Spa. The store is well maintained, always clean. I know the manager has a lot of input for the store organization , etc. Thanks to the manager and staff working well together is what keeps this store enjoyable, etc.
This DG does a very nice job of maintaining inventory, cleanliness and a solid customer service base.
Its ok for quick pickups
Best around
Store clean and employees friendly great place to get a great deal many name brand and generic very cheap great place to shop love saving money also has a app and digital coupons for Dollar general
While the store was decent a lot of the items were over priced while Walmart has the same item for a better value. Save your trip and go to a better store

Just like any other Dollar General OR Family Dollar.....
Everything for a buck how can u go wrong
Went for pretzel rods or any pretzels.out of stock on a Wednesday afternoon Nd pretzels at 2 bags for a dollar at a dollar store. Last visit
Its convenient to have a dollar store item close to home .
Store was ok, kinda messy. Clerk was fairly nice , not mean but not overly friendly. Id shop here again but wouldnt go out of my way
The store is centrally located. Inside its very neat and it has all the things you need for a quick pick up and more.
High end $$$ store
Its a dollar general like all others. Good prices
The cashier was friendly and they seem to have a fairly large selection. A lot of name brands which didnt seem to be any cheaper than Target or Walmart. The off brand stuff must be where the savings is. Biggest complaint was that there is absolutely no service of any kind anywhere in the store. Dropped a call, failed texts, no internet on my phone.
Very clean and new
Great little store
nice place to pick up odds and ends
Usually have what Im looking for
Needs better management
Love this store,amazing
Absolutely dispicable customer service!! I will never return!
I only drove by
find inexpensive household products
Not enough staff. Boxes and merchandise to be put away.
Good quick place to stop, has variety of items
Paige was very helpful
I love doller general
Great store always have what you want and friendly staff.
I always forget that I dont like the layout of this store, it has always been crowded as to the aisles and misplaced or stocking units. Staff is so so depending on the time, just not as home town feel as the other.
My son was sick dollar general had everything I Needed from baby Vicks, pedylite, baby Tylenol I was happy I only had to go to one store.
its a hit or miss anymore at this location
Love the deals
Very friendly workers. Had exactly the random item I needed.
Very friendly employees. A pleasure to shop there.
Freezing in there tho!!
One register open. Line were to the back if the store.
Quick stop
This dollar general in particular was very unorganized and had things tossed everywhere. Waited ten mins at a register. Just awkwardly standing there with another customer waiting to make my simple purchase.
Great prices, great sales.
