The first question is, what kind of "silver dollar" are you referring to?
If you mean a true silver dollar minted in the 1930s or earlier, spending it for $1 wouldn't be sensible because these coins are worth far more for their silver content and probably even more than that as collectibles. You can sell them for about $10 to one of those "we buy gold" places, or sell them for a minimum of $15 - possibly much more - to a collector.
If you mean a $1 coin minted since 1979, they're not silver, they're either copper-nickel or brass, and are worth only $1. These coins ARE legal tender, are still being minted, and should be accepted anywhere unless the clerks haven't been properly instructed as to what valid US Coins are in circulation.
If you mean one of the old large-size Ike dollars (1971-78) these too are only worth $1 but most stores aren't set up to count these coins because they don't fit in modern counting machinery.
What else can I help you with?
