A lot of the time they hate penny shoppers because some people trash the store looking. I always tidy up any areas im in. I hate when you have a ton of items and they only scan 1 or 2. I dont want to walk out of a store with anything i did not pay for. DG has such a high turnover rate with staff so the rude ones probably wont be there long. There is a penny shopper that made besties with a couple of store managers. They literally put the stuff up for her. A little frustrating but I know for a fact she takes 95% of the stuff to our local homeless shelter. Ive given her stuff that i found too.
@cori7209 I tidy up too. I'm already looking at the stuff, so I might as well put it back up for them. I think I know who you're talking about. I follow her on YT. I usually have a positive experience, but this day was not.
Sadly many cashiers are rude ; I had a psycho say out loud that I found penny items . I told her yes I did why is it illegal or my fault they are here ? The manager told her to ring me up & I left . Too much drama so I I no longer penny shop
So far never been denied pennies. Most of my stores know I'm penny shopping & wait to see what I find. I also share with employees, especially kids stuff. If I take my time to look & have a cart full of items I want or can donate, I will not leave without them...I'll show Policy to Mgr, not regular employees.
@rhondafountain648 I've never been denied pennies either, thankfully, and that's really the only bad experience I ever had with penny shopping. Most of the managers root for me as well, but there is always an exception to the rule, lol.
I honestly don't understand what the problem is with us buying them. It's clearing out all the stuff for the workers,doing their job for them. Now I understand the idiots that choose to trash the place is frowned on and that's what gives us a bad name😢 Glad you have other stores you can go to and not have to deal with the drama😊
@mizzmary861 I also do not understand. Like you said, it's less they have to pull, and most of us follow the rules and clean up after ourselves. I've been doing this for 6 or 7 years off and on and now they just act like you're taking something from them.
Thanks love! Yes, it's alot of fun! I think it's the thrill of the hunt for me! So glad you joined the pennyshopping world. I hope you have a great time hunting and find lots! This weekend was a great weekend to start penny shopping. Soooo many pennies!
This happening world wide now. I definitely understand your fustration. I’m honestly just gonna penny shop at the stores where the stores don’t mind me shopping at. There are def millions of pennies out here. I literally am scoring every day.
@princessofpennypinchin I agree 100% and I'm going to do the same it saves me from being stressed and anxious when I know I'm not doing anything wrong 💕
I had one do that and run up where I was with my mom she started scanning pillows I just kept scanning she found 1 and so did I ,not going to intimate me lol
It's sad that there are some people, employees or not, that get negative toward penny shopping. Honestly, there are more kind people. At my DG, they know me and that I am looking for pennies. I always share. Most of the time they don't want anything but they are happy to sell to me.😉👍❤
That's amazing. I'm happy you have supportive DG employees around you. I also give things away. Just last week, I gave a cashier some of the paw patrol activity sets for her kids. She was so grateful! It helps so much when they aren't jerks, lol
I had several items in my cart. The cashier asked if i needed help and i said no just looking. He continued to watch me. Then he and a mgr stopped me in an aisle ang mgr said what did u find. I said a few goodies. she told the employee to" scan everything to verify they are pennies cause they all steal"
@AndreaMitchell-t8t OH no! So sorry you had that experience, SMH. But I'm glad to were able to find some goodies. Please do not let them discourage you! 🩷
At my store I found penny and they wouldn't sell them to me so they too them said I can't sell them because they are a penny so I said ok I didn't argue with them so I move on to another store
This happened to me over 4 yellow dot wallets. They were buried under some t- shirts that were strewn all over . When I went to pay the cashier told me she didn't have to let me have them because she was getting ready to pull them. I told her that they were not even in the open and she wasn't even around that area. She said you can have 2 or none what will it be. I didn't argue with her, I paid for 2 and left. I have never been treated that rudely by a dg staff member before. I will not be going back to that particular store again.
@denisehorvath7613 I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I won't go back to this particular store either. The kicker is if they just did their job and pulled them, we wouldn't have the issue in the first place. They need someone to blame.
@BlushingAngels I follow Kristies connections here on YT as well as other channels. They post pennylists with visuals and tell you when items will penny. Just download the DG app and create an account, and you will be able to scan items in app to confirm they're a penny.
No problem. If you need to know anything else, please let me know. I'll make a video soon explaining penny shopping a little better and my tips and tricks.
it's in the Dollar Gemeral Penny Policy that they must pull penny items from the floor. But If a penny item is on the floor and you bring it to the counter, that they should sell it to you for a penny. However, it is absolutely up to them at the end of the day if they do sell it or not. But it is their policy that they should.
I had a manager yell at me as soon as I got the chairs that were a penny telling she’s not going to sell them to me. She was MAD it was really upsetting she made me feel terrible. It wasn’t the fact she didn’t want to sell them it’s the way she said it. I was so embarrassed. Not only did she yell at me that but she told me I wasn’t allowed to go into her store anymore.
That's outrageous so sorry you had to deal with that. It took nothing for her to just be kind. I'm a firm believer in, it's not WHAT you say it's HOW you say it. Just remember it's not a you thing. It's a them thing! ❤️
@@nicoleshops01 thank you. Most of the managers know I penny shop but know that I usually go after the rush and get small hauls. Some even laugh about it. Those managers have said they like me because I tidy up after and leave it better than it was. But she was just bad. Thank you for this video.
Unfortunately, there is always at least one bad apple. I usually do the same. It's not so much about the items I get because I give most of it away. I just enjoy the hunt. You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. ❤️

Yes , rule #1 . Always be nice! It’s hard but we can do it!! Most of the time we will be blessed in the end

@@Salazar77- lol exactly they're foolish
I don't put my self on digging on stupid items I stop shopping at GD don't need trash in my house. What a pity ...
