Very dissatisfied that your store in St. Ann, MO located at 10455 St. Charles Rock road closed before 9:37 instead of at 10pm as posted on their doors. I thought the purpose of opening later and closing later than othe stores was for customer convenience, not employee convenience.

Another customer tried the doors again at 9:45.

I was charged twice on my EBT card when i went in with my receipt to notify the manger I asked for the manger they called her up I let her know what had happened she was behind the counter i couldn't see her face and she literally said nothing this is the second time this has happened the first time was 11 dollars this time it was 51 dollars so I just told her that I would be willing to get the same items on my receipt she still said nothing, so

said I would go back and talk to sumone else, so it took over a week to catch up to the manger he is not ever there any more since he was moved up to manger position when I finally spoke to him I just left remembering my issue it was closing time so I called the family dollar real quick explained the situation and he said go meet him the next day…

The store manager Katrina Branton at store number 5560. I was in your store to purchase Mr. Clean cleaning products. 50. I told her as well as 3 employees. She was very rude in unprofessional. I've had this issue with her before.

I've had this issue at other stores.

However, they check the shelf see I am right and have a manger change the price because the item is not raining up correctly. But Manager Katrina Branton argued with me. Seen the ticket on the shelf and refused rudely.

I am a customer who spends money in family dollar frequently. The way she treated me us sad. She should not be a manger. She has bad and rude customer service.

75. when I get up to the cash register it's over $8 and I asked the sales clerk why is it that much. She told me that they were going through a price change. I then showed her the price that said 675 and she said she would have to talk to her manager.

After clerk talks to manager I was informed that I would have to pay the $8 or I could get a refund. When I asked to get a refund sales clerk inform me that manager would get it for me after she got through with the truck.

I find that this is not good sales and that I should have been charged the price that was shown on the tag that was right underneath the product. It would have been nice after manager would have come out herself and explain to me what was going on instead of sending the clerk back out and for me that I had to pay that.

On 03-27-23 at about 7pm, I had went to the family dollar on Ramsey street in the city of Banning, CA 92220. I went there to reload my netspend card. And was told that they wouldn't reload my card because I had 2 one hundred dollar bills that were the older ones ?

It's still legal tender even if it's older bills. Money is money. But the worker had gotten smart mouth with me and told me to take my business somewhere else cause I had asked why she wouldn't take it. She said they would take it only if they were the newer bills ?

Her name was, Geri a black woman. Then stores wonder why they go out of business? It's because of employees like these that drive away customers like me. Sincerely, Rudy Gasca (909)246-8930 Feel free to contact me

Your Big Rapids, MI store employees show very little professionalism in their work , especially store manager eating why'll waiting on customers and have also caught them standing with the front door open and smoking.

Dear family dollar home office hello I am concerned citizen . I live in owensboro ky. You have family dollar business located at 18th street and Triplett street in owensboro ky. In last year or so the city of owensboro ky remodeled the area where your family dollar business is located.

My granddaughter and I was inside Family Dollar store located on Lee Avenue in Sanford NC when an employee conversing with another employee began cussing loudly saying a lot of inappropriate cussed words. I couldn't believe what my ears was hearing.

The employee she was talking to went towards the back and she yelled to the employee "don't bring that shit out here I am getting ready to leave". She cussed even more not caring there were customers inside the store.

I am very upset that me being a senior and my 11 year old granddaughter was exposed to this. She needs to be "FIRED "!!!

The clerk named Jeremy in Family Dollar at Las Animas Colorado continually asks me if I want to buy their promotional candy after I tell him " No, thank you." He asks again, saying it's only a dollar, won't you help me win the contest? I don't think this is store policy and I actually feel harassed because I told him politely I am not interested.

The Assistant Manage at the Columbia, Kentucky store Kaelyn Fritz fraudently used my EBT card on mumberlus occasions between October 19 and November 14, 2023. Totaling over $500. I have called the store several times to speak with a manager however she always answers the phone and hangs up.

Going into the store the manager was very rude to my daughter. My daughter hates wearing shoes and always has went in without shoes. The manager was outside smoking a few feet from the door talking when she started yelling you have to have shoes to go in over and over at my daughter and won’t let her go in with me, and then huffed and rolled her eyes at us.

She had to sit in the car by herself. I know it’s perfectly legal to go into a store without shoes so I was wondering why we were treated like this. It was very unprofessional and unpleasant to deal with at a store that we shops at all the time.

as the cashier was canceling my items she was complaining and using profanity while canceling my items. when i asked to speak to a supervisor/manager another employee said she was the manager and pretended not to hear anything that had just happened.

they were more worried about their phones then actually attending to the customer. i purchased a lunchable for my grandson and when we got home it was full of mold and when i returned to the store to return it they didnt even say anything they just trew it away and gave me my money back.

I asked for the manager and was told: Bitch get the fuck out of here, why are you still talking to me is what the employee said to me. She would not tell me her name, she kept calling me bitches and more bitches and tried to come from behind the counter and fight with my Muslim sister. I have never been treated like this ever in any store, or talked to. I will be contacting the CEO of Family dollar Monday Morning. Nobody has tried to contact me about this matter.

Your store in Pittsfield MA located on North Street, is trash. It’s always dirty they open late and close early, Some days they just plain don’t open at all, Only have one working Register, Some days 4 last week. You can only use cash.

No snap benefits or debit cards. They have an ostentatiously high turnover employee rateIf you’re going to let the store go to hell just close it and let the town open a second Dollar General. They’re cleaner anyways

I stopped at family dollar in New Richmond ohio and asked if I could reload a green dot card. The cashier huffed and rolled her eyes and was extremely rude. To the point where I commented 'wow' which made her worse.

The manager was standing right next to her and said nothing. 00 on Tuesday March 21st. I will not go back in this store, I've been coming here for years but I will go somewhere else for now on. I cannot believe they are allowed to treat anyone that way.

I don't believe I've ever been treated this way before.

I have had multiple problems with pricing in the store. Almost every occasion items at checkout do not match the price on the shelf. The cashier today says they cannot change prices and was told not to override items, did not attempt to see if the item was in the correct place to prevent further confusion.

I have gotten home and looked at receipts and realize multiple items did not ring properly. Yes, this may happen sometime, but almost every time this happens. The service I received today did not reflect friendly appreciation that customers should receive.

I was in your location at 1625 W. Mount Hope, Lansing MI, this morning around 10:00, on 3/21/2023. I went in looking for packing tape because I’m moving. I was in there approximately 5 minutes, looking for the isle with the packing tape. While I was searching.

I was texting with my spouse at home, to see if they needed anything else, and when I found the tape, if it was the correct tape, because I wasn’t making another trip back. Your employee was emptying boxes of product.

She was a tall, African-American, always pleasant and telling people to have a blessed day. I know this, because I shop this location frequently because it’s convenient. , and not sure who she was speaking with, I didn’t answer. Moments later, she appears at the end of the isle, and in an unfriendly tone, again asks…

Was refused service on 3/18/23. The store employee at the register was person named Briana. Stated I threw something at her? She wanted me to watch a video with her on her phone and then was refused service again. Brianna had the responsiblity of store ops that morning.

I also noticed a slurring in this persons voice (Brianna) like she might have been under the influence. I went ahead and left.

This store consistently opens late, under staffed with rude employees along with a homeless camp to the side of the building. I have seen homeless people behind the register at that location at various times. The store is filthy and stock is left in the aisles while employees party with their friends.

I came to Family Dollar on March 18th 2023 at approximately 2:00 there was a sign on the door that stated they would be closed for 30 minutes. I'll call to ask how much longer they would be closed after I had waited a lot of time and the lady said that they will be closed for about..

the Ellipsis means that that's when she hung up the phone in my face. She did come to the door when another customer came up and said that it would be 5 minutes more.

However it's been 20 minutes more and she's still has not opened the door to the store. There is also a young man that's tall and thin build with dreads walking around the store as well. This is at 3701 Gulfway Drive in Port Arthur Texas.

NEED TO REVIEW AND BE MORE SPECIFIC WITH ITEMS A CUSTOMER CAN RETURN OR EXCHANGE. I bought some clothing after reviewing the information on the stores web page in case the items I bought did not fit, since there are no fitting rooms. change it.

I responded with ok great, but then as I was getting the other things I needed a little more, the cashier said to me that I could only exchange for the same item. I had my receipt and all tags were still on the item, needless to say I was very disappointed since your companies return policy says nothing about any sort of clothing.

Said item I bought was a 2 pack of sports bra for $10. And cashier kept my receipt.

I just moved to this neighborhood and the manager at the store near me is rude and condescending. My 18 year old granddaughter tried to buy milk and a few other things and was refused service because she did not have a ID. This is ridiculous.

She said my grandchildren were known shoplifters and we just moved here. They have hardly been in the store because she will not sale to them every time they go because they are not 18. This is America and you don't need to be 18 to buy food.

She obviously had a shoplifting issue before we moved here. Some body needs to reign in this manager or I will be reporting her to the better business bureau and who ever else I can find. OK. My phone number is 918-565-2197.
