Entire Dollar General Staff Quits Simultaneously, Leaving Behind a Note for Customers

The entire staff at the Dollar General in Mineral Point, 🧀Wisconsin, resigned after completing their shifts on Friday

Former general manager Trina Tribolet, who had been heading the store as a manager for about a year, told Spectrum News 1 that she and five other employees had been discussing quitting “for months.”

After the staff resigned, a sign stating “We quit!” was reportedly displayed on the store’s locked doors on Saturday, and a note was left at the store saying they quit “due to a lack of appreciation, being overworked and underpaid.”

Tribolet said the day after she quit was her first weekend off since Christmas, indicating she had been working seven days a week for months on end.

However, the “last straw” was reportedly due to the Dollar General’s donation policy and the excessive waste of 🍽️Food that could have been donated.

“It’s sickening, and it’s saddening, especially for someone that has morals,” Tribolet said. “If you’ve ever been at the bottom and never had anything, you know what it feels like to see items get thrown away. That could have gone to somebody that needed them.”

“We’re throwing away coffee that’s not expired but it’s close. Or you’re throwing out a box of Lucky Charms that you know there’s a whole world of kids who would love to eat those,” Tribolet continued.
