Dollar General Employees Quit Over Donation Policy, Cite Feeling Underappreciated

• Employees at a Dollar General store in Mineral Point, Wisconsin walked off the job Saturday, leaving signs saying "We quit!" and that they felt underappreciated and overworked.

• The walkout was partly due to an issue with Dollar General's donation policy, which required expiration-dated items to be thrown out rather than donated.

• Employees felt the items were still usable and should have been donated to local food banks.

• Dollar General said the Mineral Point store had donated over 7,500 pounds of food in the past year.

• Dollar General apologized for the inconvenience when the store was closed for 3 hours Saturday.
