Dollar General stores, such as this one in Maryland, are overrun with unpacked merchandise sitting in aisles. Workers have said cuts to their hours are part of the problem.
  • Dollar General workers say their hours have been cut, creating a mess of merchandise at stores.
  • A shortage of person power makes it tough to unpack new merchandise and update inventory.
  • Dollar General has grown to over 19,000 stores and is often the only retailer in some small towns.
