"They put their employees much more than they should," Swank said, who worked at Dollar General for four years, in The Outlet.
She added that there is a designated day each week, called "Super Tuesday", where the incoherent prices are supposed to be adjusted. "Nothing is supposed to be done that day before the price changes were made," said Swank. However, endowment policies interfere with the ability of employees to achieve this.
According to Swank, the general dollar stores in which they worked were not allowed to work more than two employees, except "sometimes" on the delivery days. It is generally not Tuesdays, when the price assortment is supposed to occur, which means that there are only two people capable of storing shelves, ringing customers and performing other tasks .

"I work at Dollar General and we are not allowed to hire just stockers with me, so we have only one manager and a cashier," wrote the employee, while another store partner said that managers can only give so many hours, which means that there is simply not enough time to "make a breach in inventory".
