Hi,Sharon , the cashier at family dollar store number 12481 570 pontiac avenue Cranston rhode island. She accused me of stealing. She told the whole staff store that I stole... What did I steal? Sharon said she didn't know.. i said I because I did not steal, I did not know you can accuse someone with no evidence... because I didn't steal.

Sharon has been very nasty, rude and unprofessional. As a cashe greets and thanks all the way people who come to the store and me as a black American. She did to me no eye contact, no high. No, thank you.

Sharon just puts my receipt on the counter... She asked me, to show her the cash during.

first says she needs to see the cash .. Normally when I do a Cash App transaction, the cashier scans my phone first and then I tell them how much cash I want put…

I have written two complaints with no reply. I have submitted a complaint with the bbb. I experienced extreme racism in your store by a cashier who opened a cleaning product in my bag intentionally. A mistake that happens once believable but four different occasions can't be an accident.

Not only did it leaked into my coach wallet damage my property. I watched her be polite to the customer before me and after me while she barely acknowledged me. You are running a business that's supposed to welcome everyone.

Well I was not welcomed. An then I was dismissed by district Manager Tammy May who wouldn't give me the number to legal or return a single email.

My husband has worked with your company for over a year now. He until today was never told not to check out family members . The store manager told him this then walked away. My 3 children and I had to wait 30 minutes to be checked out .

This is ridiculous and discrimination towards my family. Josh the manager is horrible to his employees and store. Literally tells them unless they do what he says he will cut there hours. He always leaves early and never works night shift, always switches with someone.

Certain employees can wear or do nothing but if others do they get in trouble.

This store on pine and mingo is never open on time people there and door looked 9 10 even 11 this is ridiculous when hours of operation are clearly posted on the door 8 on weekdays! Not whenever these people want to do it.

This place needs help in the worse way. Get good management in there so store can run right!

I go to the Dollar tree/ Family Dollar in Anita Iowa often. The assistance Mgr named either Connie or Bonnie is very rude to me every time I go in there. I expected to her I can't carry a bad to heavy because of health problems.

She packed my 6 Monsters in 2 bags, refused double bag and 6 Brisk tea's in 2 single bags. Even bag broke when carrying them in the house, I lost all 6 Monsters because my drive was is gravel. I told her this happened and she said it was my fault.

She's always rude when I go in there. I'm very difficult in the store. The freezer hVe never worked and every manager says it's corporate that won't fix then. Thanks for allowing me to give feedback. Sandy's Bartelson,305 Walnut st apt 5 Anita ,Iowa 50020

m. m. there is no business hours on the door. That clearly needs to be written and stated before you walk in the door. If the website says 8:00 that needs to be changed if you do not open till 9:00.

On 12/14/2024 at 11: 07 I was treated disrespectfully by an employee in your Fort Benning Rd. Location. The manager was not able to get this employee under control. This person came out from behind the counter and acted as if she was about to attack me .

She also used a lot of profanity all the while calling me names and words that I dare not repeat. I have never had any issues in any of your locations! Please review the Camara footage as well as your audio to address this matter. Thank you

My complaint is that the Family Dollar on Hazard Ave. in Enfield Ct does not let you use the rest room anymore!!! It's very inconvenient!!! Example: I took my 88 year old mother there and she needed to use the rest room for sure!!!

They said NO Restroom usage,, per management, which is changing weekly!! So I had to leave and never went back. Same with my 3 year old grandson another time no restroom!!! There should be no Family in the name of that store!!!

And there was no Sorry" either!! From an unhappy customer in Enfield, Ct

The family dollar/dollar tree store on Arch street little Rock Ar 72206 needs new management.!!! The team at this location is racist. Very rude and swears in front of customers. I witnessed the management berating employees. And I have been a loyal customer at this location for 10 years.

I am Disabled and these people has made me not want to shop there ever again! This is sad because this location used to be my favorite store. Please get some professional management at this location so I can continue to shop at my favorite store.

It is sad when you go to shop and the management makes you uncomfortable.. please rectify this issue.

Made a purchase 3 weeks ago, and two weeks ago at the same family dollar store. Was told at the time of my second purchase, two weeks ago, that the store would be closing and a dollar tree would take its place sometime in October not sure when, probably mid to end of October.

This was started by the cashier. Yesterday I visited the store to make a return, and saw the store sign that said closing and everything was 30% off. Told the cashier I had a return and sure said no returns, all sales are final.

I said no, I made my purchase prior to this and I had my receipts and the manager told me quite rudely that they will not do a return regardless of when the purchase was made. Again I said no that's not the policy on my receipt and she said her boss Sue said returns are not being made.

There's an older gentleman that works there and every time I go into the store, and go to check out my items, he makes snarky comments: "oh here again" "you shop here a lot" "oh buying more clothing I see, maybe if that's what you like I guess, I wouldn't buy it". He is so judgemental.

Our store is like the only store besides the grocery store ( which is highly expensive) that you can get any items or stuff cheaper. He makes it so uncomfortable to shop there, and every time I see him working, I walk out leaving my stuff.

I don’t have a complaint but a compliment. I went to Family Dollar in Brusly.Louisiana today and when I walked in I was shocked how clean and orderly everything was. For the past few years all the ones I have frequented has so many boxes,clothes and garbage on the aisles you can’t get to the shelves. The workers are talking on their phones while being checked out or they are hiding behind the boxes in aisles on phones. The cashier at the Brusly location was very polite and alert since she was distracted by her phone.

Well, I guess this is a compliment and complaint…of neighboring stores.

My complaint is for the store location 757 w Broadway council bluffs iowa. I am a frequent shopper at this Family Dollar. I would say I shop there at least 3 or 4 times a week. It's been going on for a couple of months now and I have just been tolerating it, but now it's just gotten to the point of just making me feel uncomfortable and starting to upset me to the point I will choose to either go without or walk to another store to get what I need, because I don't deserve to get treated like this and cry when I leave the store. But it's the closest place to my house. I have to walk because after my husband and 2 kids were kill in a car accident. I don't drive anymore. I would just love to be able to feel comfortable when I do my shopping.

It started when I called out one of the suppose to…

The Family Dollar on SW Capitol Ave in Battle Creek have made their carts so that they cannot go outside. We are old and disabled so after filling our cart and checking out we realized we were going to have to have help getting out.

The checker was no help. Said we are tired of having our carts stolen after I asked why do you do this to customers. The lady behind us helped us out and got the bags into our car. If you approve of this treatment of your customers not being able to get their purchases to their car then maybe you should hire another person to bag and take purchases to the car.

But I am sure you could care less since you would have approved it in the first place. I will never go into that store again and hope word of mouth works because I am telling everyone on Facebook and…

I've been shopping at the Family Dollar store # 12504 for over 2 yrs, up til now myself,family and friends have tolerated the sour attitude of the manager there. Today I simply asked a question about the price of an item on my receipt and her response was a very curt I don't know and mumbled something else under her breath.

I'm in the store often and she Never smiles or rarely greets anyone. Se acts like she just hates being there. I avoid shopping if I know she's working and that's pretty sad. I don't like to say negative things about people but her attitude needs to change towards your customers.

Thank you for your time

I was overcharged for 1 item 4 times and just wanted my money back or purchase something else in the store and the girl in the phone said I had to come back the same day because the girl that helped me would not be there. I told I was not, I asked for a manager and then she told me the manager was going to be gone for a week.

This is ridiculous and bad customer service I will complain on YouTube which is the reason I even came to the store because of an influencer that buys things from your store.

m I went to Family Dollar at 1280 Broad St Providence RI needing to buy dish sponges . 95 . 50 . He told he does not deal with the merchandise so he does not know. I asked if there was a manager around and he rings a bell like a bell in a hotel room .

After he dealt with a customer who needed cash back who which the cashier told her that they do not give cash back in the morning which is crazy to me there were no signs posted stating so . The manager then started to storm back to his office , so I said excuse me sir and shut the door behind .

I asked the cashier if you could get him back because I need to check the price for me, and he told me that manager is busy. I mean he is too busy to help a customer shopping in his store .

I think both the cashier and especially the store manager…

The employees are arguing and ignoring customers! Noone acknowledged any customers. The cashier was clearly aggravated to be there! Didn't say hello or any greeting.. very rude!! And the place is filthy! Uboats all over the store unattended. Clearly a safety issue when you have to move them to get what you want.

I went to the store today, March 02, 2024, the one in Reading, PA on W Douglass St, and was informed by a very rude female worker that I was "not allowed" to go back into the store. All I did was roam around the store in search of something, as she ate chips while "working" (which Im sure she actually stole from the job) and then I asked her a question about where could I find the beads that I previously did not find.

I check the area she told me to go to and did not find what I was looking for, so I leave (as a normal person does). She then goes outside after I already left and yells that I am not allowed ever again to enter.

I can understand if you think I stole, but there are security measures put in place for that and quite frankly I would be way more comfortable being told that I…

Store #8685 in Albuquerque NM Manager Crystal is very unprofessional, and needs Manager training! There was a discrepancy in the price of an item I was going to purchase. The box on the shelf was put in the wrong area.

So it was not the right price. I showed her. Even after I was willing to pay the right price she told me to just go to the family dollar down the street! She refused to give me her name and corporate number.

I had to advertise 5 times! She finally gave it to me a guy from the back approached me wanting to fight! I asked if he worked there. He said maybe & maybe not! I then left the store this incident happened at approximatly4:20pm on 02/22/2024 the family Dollar on Sage and 98th Street in Alb NM.

Her behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable. I will never go to that…

I go to family dollar a lot . Today the experience wasn’t good. I came inside to shop and the radio was on, playing rap music with profanity . A woman there was busy stocking and she had the music on.

Every time I go there music is on very high . We can’t even maneuver to shop because there is always something blocking it, like boxes, or huge dolly’s in the way. When I tried to go to the next isle, there was two girls and two guys (workers) chatting and I’m trying to go pass them and instead of them moving, they continued their chat.

Customer service is very awful. I have grandkids that comes with me to family dollar and the use of this music shouldn’t be in the ears of a child, especially profanity music. There is no way to shop because there is always something in the way. One short…
