Dollar General again found exposing employees to fire, entrapment hazards, after federal workplace safety inspection at Orlando-area store

Hey, have you heard about Dollar General? Apparently, they’ve been caught again for exposing their employees to some pretty serious hazards, like fire and entrapment. A federal workplace safety inspection was conducted at an Orlando-area store, and the results were not good.

Basically, Dollar General was cited for multiple violations, including blocked exits, unmarked exits, and improper storage of flammable liquids. This means that if there was a fire or emergency, employees would have a hard time getting out safely. Yikes.

As someone who has worked in retail before, this is particularly concerning to me. When you’re working a minimum wage job, you don’t really have the luxury of quitting if you feel unsafe. You kind of just have to deal with it and hope nothing bad happens. It’s not a great feeling, and it’s not fair to employees who are just trying to make ends meet.

All in all, this is a reminder that workplace safety should always be a top priority. Dollar General needs to step up and make sure their employees are protected, because no one deserves to feel like their life is in danger just for showing up to work. It’s important to hold companies accountable for their actions, and to demand better working conditions for everyone.
