Complaint at store #12562 on 4/24/23 t 3:30 or 4pm. My 17 and 12 year children were in the store and a sales clerk asked if their parents were with them. My children said no and were told it's company policy and they couldn't shop without a parent present.

I later asked to see that policy and it could not be found. As I was leaving the store I observed an African American male child that appeared to between 12 and 15 years of age enter the store and the clerk that told my white kids they couldn't shop there held the door and allowed the child to enter.

So is there a policy or does it only apply to white children?

I recently bought a gallon of family farms whole milk at the family dollar Hudson store in Florida. I took it home went to make my child a cup of milk and cook dinner and the milk was awful bad yellow and smelled sour. 2023.

The expiration date is may 2,2023 so it shouldn’t be sour. I thought ok well I will exchange it. Apparently because of Covid-19 the store doesn’t do any good returns which I understand. 2023. And it wasn’t as bad but still smelled sour.

I shop at family dollar everyday pretty much it’s right down the street and I love the workers they’re usually great. But when I took the 2nd one back they said that i needed to contact corporate and that I should contact the actual family farms which I sent an email.

I am a single mom I was just laid off work and I’m enrolling in…

After Easter I visited your store in East Point Georgia on Headland and Delowe. I bought some Easter candy that was on sale. Tha candy was in a plastic container sitting on the floor. I returned to the store the next week and bought more of the Easter candy because it was on sale.

So two or three days later (04-25-2023) I returned to the store to buy more of the Easter candy only to be told that this old Easter candy was ringing up as the original price. Even more demeaning than that was the attitude of the two workers in the store who were short, matter of fact, and did not try to assist me with the price hike for the old Easter candy.

” Customer service is very important to me. These ladies may have been tired, but that is not an excuse for terrible customer service. Why the price hike…

The management at this store is deplorable. They redesigned this store and it’s worse. You have to zig zag through the isles. They never have enough employees and the ones they do have are lazy or have so much to do it’s overwhelming.

The manger they have now can’t speak English and does not know how to work the register or thinks it’s beneath him as there was 20 people in line with one cashier. At one time they had a decent manger but she now works at Randall’s.

Another irritating issue they have is cashiers cussing and blast music at the register. Come on now … I’ve had enough.

Store #07714. Melissa Winn has been making racist comments. "Telling me, a disabled person, I couldn't use my cane inside the store as I could "knock products off the shelves". There is more to be said about her treatment of your customers.

The assistant manager at the Fremont, Michigan store should be removed and replaced. She is constantly on her personal phone out on the store floor. She talks loud enough for everyone to hear. She's either is talking to her husband, her kids school, or the doctor's office.

Also, she's not been very nice when a customer has a complaint, or to vendors. She's not very professional.

We visit the Family Dollar on a Marland next to La Tienda in Hobbs several times. We came in Saturdays were not greeter. The cashier was an older black male with short hair he's been there awhile. He said nothing to us.

We got our things he checked us out said nothing. I saw the total on the screen gave him the cash he gave me my change this whole time he said nothing! He didn't acknowledge us or my daughter not one word!

00 gift certificate that was to be available on 4-23-2023. I would like to discuss this with higher management. If I do not hear from you within 5 days, I will be writing a letter to the editor in our local paper.

In my opinion, this will affect your business success in Hallettsville, in a very negative day.

Whoever is the general manager to your center Point Al location needs to make more frequent stops. Your manager on duty is the absolute worse. Unprofessional every single time I have tried to patronize this store. She’s ether singing loudly through the store with gospel song(I’m a tithing Christian so don’t take that the wrong way) she locks the doors often, she follows you through this tight store when she could be decluttering the aisles.

Today I was browsing for house and personal needs. Had been in your store 10-15 minutes. I got in line and circle back down another aisle for another item. I hear her shout to the one cashier working saying. Your customer must have went back I saw her get in the line.

The cashier says who I didn’t see anyone. She proceeds to say Yeah she been in here…

Went to the store in Phoenix on Indian school. I had my backpack on since I had just gotten off the bus and stopped to get supplies. Someone says “you need to leave your backpack up front” it was a female voice so when I looked up to see who it was all I saw were 2 males.

I was looking for the female that said that. One of the males pipes up “don’t look at me like that. ” So I left. Just wanted you to know, that young man just cost your store $150 in sales. 00!

Was @ store 08952 when an employee threatened to slap me ask manager for help she did nothing. I am completely scared to ever return. Please help me. They were both rude I have video of their behavior. Just ridiculous.

I felt the hate when I came in so i decided to get it on camera. Unfortunately I didn’t get the theat but the mangers and customers heard him say it extremely loudly. Just in disbelief this is my neighborhood store.

I spend my money there to be threatened is completely unacceptable

(10800 Cullen Blvd, Houston )Most hateful,rude, unprofessional store manager. Great cashier, tho! Was very helpful in my request to speak to the manager. It angered the manager when the cashier waved her over and she plainly let her know that in front of everyone! Yelling!

After calling her out and defending the cashier the manager told me she didn't have time for "my kind" My kind? ) Also, stated that she did not give a F@#k! Then called my hispanic friend "Mexican Dirt" (after my friend let her know she would file a complaint) and she stated she was going to "F@#K us up"

m. , Metairie, La. to purchase a couple of items. When I got to the cashier, she and a man were arguing something about him taking the basket out to his vehicle. While this was going on they kept cursing at each other using the F**k word multiple times before he just left his merchandise and stormed out.

After he left another co-worker entered. The other co-worker asked the cashier what was wrong. The cashier proceeded to tell what happen all along repeating the f**k-word multiple times. I am just standing there waiting to be rung up, while she continues her cursing.

I made a comment that she did not need to continue to curse and that she made her point. The cashier then started to curse me out. I said I was…

Well I went into the dollar store I'm a regular there everyday I spend my money there every day every week and every month and I'm so sick of how the manager has been speaking with me saying if or think I'm stealing and I'm never gave them any reason or probable cause to even say that I even asked him if they've seen me on camera or anything about cuz I don't take nothing and

they said no but they they think or if I'm going to steal pretty much calling me a thief and this happened in front of at least 10 or 15 people for no reason and I want something done with it I see there's already 600 and some complaints so I'm wondering why you have not sent someone to figure out what's going because the way she spoke to me in front of all them other customers was unbelievably embarrassing…

He not only followed her around the store the entire time she was there to "make sure she wasn't stealing" and as she paid for her items and tried to leave he followed her out of the store yelling that she didn't pay for her items despite her asking before trying to even leave the store asking if the payment had gone through and

she was ok to leave. He then proceeded to rip most of what she purchased and run back in the store yelling harassing statements such as "why dont you just go be a whore, youd probably make enough money to pay then" this is extremely unprofessional and

My boyfriend went to the Buckeye Lake, Ohio, location. He bought a bag of charcoal that had a sign that said $2 off. He was charged $15. He told the manger he was charged too much. 50 but she didn't give him the $2 off sale. 50 altogether.

He told her there was a sign that said that. She told him it must of been an old sign. To me that is their fault for still having that sign up and they should've honored that.

Went to FD today on Kathleen Rd in Lakeland, FL at 11:30 am only to find it closed. Not a car in the parking lot, not even an employee car. No sign on the door. Last week I overheard the manager talking loudly to another employee who had just logged in to work that she had closed the store earlier to put up merchandise so that the aisles were clear.

Why place stores in neighborhoods if they are not open to serve the nearby residents.

While I've been a customer for 15 yrs I have decided I might be shopping elsewhere from now on. The treatment of the employees for a remodel currently being done was atrocious. A supervisor named Daryl was screaming and belittling employees.

If this is the way employees are treated then I will pull my support for the store and spread the news to others. When people are clearly doing their best they should be treated with respect, I am saddened that the wonderful staff who always greet me with a smile and who are extremely helpful are treated so poorly, also applied to the temporary employees who are working hard.

Treat people with respect and kindness. Thank you

My wife and I were glad to see Family Dollar come to Freeport. Today we made a visit and picked up enough items to need 2 carts. As we were finishing checking out $130.00 of merchandise we were informed we were not allowed to take shopping cart out of store. Our 1 st thought was leave merchandise and walk out but we just informed clerk we thought it ridiculous and we would not be coming back to shop. We shop at the Port St Joe store and take buggy out so why not In Freeport?

Not returning, The Permenter family
