Since 2017 Over $6,000,000 in OSHA Fines?
Does this company just not care? I bet their overall employee relations must be terrible! If you look up their citation history on OSHA.gov most of their citations are for "Blocked Exits!" Most of you "Pros" learned about the great danger of this in "Safety 101" in college, in the Triangle Shirt Fire of 1912. Will it take civil suits for many millions from employee and customer deaths to get them to listen?

Unfortunately, it'll probably take a fatality for this to be taken seriously by Dollar General. It's always tough in retail, but OSHA has even mentioned that penalties are not always effective deterrents to violating OSHA standards.
They're getting pretty ridiculous. Dollar General violations are becoming about as common as trench fatalities have been lately.
Dollar General/Dollar Tree/Family Dollar are just TSWF fired waiting to happen again. It breaks my heart. Not only underpaid and under appreciated, also under protected.
I’ve seen some fatalities in which the employer was only fined $14,000 for killing a worker. Less than a year’s salary of a fine for ending a life.
