Some Dollar General stores are so full of stuff that local fire marshals are ordering the stores to close until they can cut down on the clutter.

At some locations, aisles are clogged with plastic tubs and metal-framed dollies, called "rolltainers," that hold goods still wrapped in their shipping containers, according to photos shared with Insider.
