DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A local Dollar General that faced backlash after a viral social media post made by the mayor has led to the implementation of a new customer service training program for Trotwood businesses.
Dollar General closes for cleaning after social media backlash
Recent discussions with Dollar General management regarding their responsibility as a community partner to provide good customer service while maintaining a clean and healthy environment led Trotwood Mayor Mary McDonald to initiate a collaborative effort with Goodwill Easterseals Miami Valley, according to a release from the City of Trotwood.
As a result, businesses in Trotwood will have an opportunity for their employees to participate in a customer service training program designed by the non-profit agency, which recently opened a West Campus Service Center at 735 East Main Street in Trotwood.

“As Mayor, I have an obligation to look for strategies aimed at improving and maintaining the
public health, safety, and welfare in the community at-large,” Trotwood Mayor Mary McDonald said.
“Therefore, I intend to work with the City’s Fire and Rescue Department and Code Enforcement Division, along with community partners like the Dayton-Montgomery County Health District, to ensure negligent business owners are held accountable.”
