I normally don't do this but I go to this store several times a week and I am concerned about things I see when I am there. #1 they opened this location earlier this year and they have never had a full staff.

Lately I only see 1 person working by themselves and she and 1 other lady, the hiring manager are always there, I joke with them both about living in the stockroom. #2 the floors are horrible, I witnessed a lady in her 40's that works there almost fall because the flooring is peeling up and is a major trip hazard, she fell but claimed she was ok.

#3 this goes with being short staffed but the shelves are never sticked, one employee that has tattoos all over her face will open boxes and put the product on the shelf and then throw the empty box on the floor and leave it there. I…

Store# 08821 25640 W 8 Mile Rd. Southfield MI 08-19-23 16:23:40

Purchased items totaling $134.46. After unpacking my these items realized Scott Toilet Paper and Bounty Papertowel, $5.60 and $6.65 was not given to me. Realized that when the cashier placed them in a bag, per my request, that he never actually gave them to me. Called the store to advise them and no one answered, which is not unusual at this store. Tried calling multiple times on Saturday, no answer. As I have a disability and can no longer drive, did not have another opportunity return to the store until Sunday during their posted store hours. The store was not open. Called Family Dollar customer service on 08-21-23. Spoke with Patrick and was provided with Ticket/Reference # CCi0060335. Patrick also tried to reach someone…

The manager, Matt, has always been, and continues to be, incredibly rude. I have been going to this location for a decade, minus the last year or so, l because Matt kicked me out for NO GOOD REASON, but he didn't get a no trespass against me.

I waited a year before i went back into the store (i am disabled and this is right next to my apartment, making it much easier for me), i saw Matt several times, i always said hello, but he didn't say anything until today, when he acted like it was the first time, saying you're not supposed to be in here.

I said it's been over a year, and i don't even know why I'm not allowed, but he wouldn't say. He graciously let me pay for my items before telling me to get out and don't come back, "but i know you'll be back," he said.

He was so rude i eventually…

I purchased a flashlight that had two batteries already inside of the flashlight. Got ready to leave the store. Decided to open up the flashlight to make sure it worked. Notice. When I opened up the flashlight it clearly says that you have to unwrap the batteries that were inside.

So as doing so I noticed that water came out onto my hand. The casing of the flashlight was rusted on the bottom. Turned around. Went back to the store. Told the young lady that the flashlight was damaged and had my original receipt.

She wanted me to explain and show her how was their water already in the flashlight and stated those batteries weren't their brand. I explained to her the batteries were already inside of the battery as packaged. I had to physically remove the batteries to show her that there was…

The family dollar in Fort Worth Tx off Main St today interrupted my shopping by coming up to me and telling me they know what I'm doing and that I was about to steal from them. Then proceeded to take items out of my cart.

The Hispanic lady there refused to give me her name. I have never stolen in my life from any store and check my criminal background , I have no criminal background. I have plenty of money and the fact she came up and told me "I know what your about to do" is on so many levels wrong.

I am probably going to contact an attorney to handle this if something isn't done. I understand if I had placed something in my purse or was acting funny but I was under the impression telling someone that they know in the near future they are going to steal, then taking items from their…

Yeah, I'm just filing this complaint about The Family Dollar in Pemberton, New Jersey, is completely unorganized. There's trash all over the floors the employees really do Not care about the appearance of the store whatsoever, it It looks like a tornado hit inside the store.

And it's been this way for a very long time now I think it should be looked into. Is I sure enough we'll never shop in that store again unless they do something about it.

Everytime I go in the family dollar at store # 05252 the guys there give me trouble everytime and just like tonight I went there I asked them could they give me change to ride the bus back home they said they didn't have any change and they do that all the time to me cause I'm white and not black.

And the manger said I had personal issue and that I needed to get it fixed and I didn't a problem until they done me the way they did me. And when I tried to go back through the line to buy something else the cashier said I'm not ringing me up.

And they do me this way all the time cause I'm white and I don't think that is right. And the cashier was on his phone and the manger was sitting on his tail doing nothing. But I won't be going back to that family dollar anymore cause they did this.

Hello, my name is Tiffany I am a resident of Syracuse New York and I have been going to your family dollar store chain franchises all over our area for very very very many years now. I've been very disappointed in the service and treatment I've received lately and it seems to be significantly specifically at the Family Dollar stores other than regular Dollar Tree or Dollar General chains.

I've gotten talked down to disrespected, very very unprofessionally treated at very many of the stores around here. And just recently I've had by far one of the worst experiences at your chain stores. I was treated differently specifically because of my race.

I was disrespected and unprofessionally called out upon and screamed at in the middle of the store in front of the entire store, and accused of…

I work for the government access Telecom where we issue free cell phones free tablets to any and everybody so that they're able to stay in contact with family and friends. So around the 20th of August you had a dark skin skinny guy with braids come out of your family dollar store very rude and disrespectful and tell me that if I don't move from in front of his store family Dollar that he was going to pick up my devices phones that cost $500 tablets that cost $1,000 and

throw them in the middle of the street so one of the customer said to him you're being very rude he said I'm head of security this my store I don't care about being rude. And the fact that he wasn't even at work that day he just happened to walk in the store and then walk back out and started being very rude and…

Around 9:40pm 08/23/23 at location 2461 Riverdale Rd , 30337 , College Park , A cashier by the name of Trina was extremely hostile and aggressive towards me because I was taking to long to finish my transaction. She literally called me weird , told me to stop looking at her, yelled at me and said did I have a problem.

She is Extremely hostile and has done this to so many others. I know this because I just spoke with the manager at 8am this morning. 08/24/23. He said that i won’t have to worry about it anymore but I want to make sure that it is indeed handled.

I felt unsafe last night. I am a regular costumer and don’t want to feel discouraged when I walk into my favorite store. She isn’t fit to work in retail/Customer service because she has real communication skills. Even the other…

The Family Dollar Store in Chicago located in the strip mall on 55th Street (by the Dan Ryan Expressway) is the dirtiest, most unkempt store I've EVER been in!! If I could rate it lower than one star, I would!!

The Manager is not managing the store NOR the employees. It seems as if he's scared to tell the employees to do their job. He's at the register, talking to one of the employees about their schedule next week while customers are standing in line.

I've been in there a few times, and I PROMISE, I will NOT shop there again. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

Went in bought laundry items and food for child. And went to register lady at register was already messing previous customers money up and then complain its not her day n need to count her drawer and go home. I proceeded to get items ranged up with a attitude.

She accused us of stealing laundry soap cause she couldn't remember if she ranged it up. Tried to show her on my screen it was there like manager told her to look. Rings up. Prints my receipt. Looks at it and give me a dirty look.

I told it was ranged up n apology would be nice. And we were nice and calm about it. And was told no apology is needed. Rude customer service. And Manager was in aisle heard all n did nothing.

I walked to a family dollar by my house ro pay a bill using pay near me. The site informed me that the Family Dollar provides this service and gave me a bar code on my phone for them to scan and then you give them cash for the bill.

I have done this several times before at different Family Dollars. When I get in the store there were around 15 people waiting in line. They had one register open. There were 3 employees behind the desk talking to the one worker running the register.

Not worried about the line that wrapped all the way down the aisle. So after waiting in line for 30 minutes I get to the register buy 3 items and then tell them I want to pay my bill and gave them the bar code.

They said we don't do that here. I told them I've done it several times. They said we don't give cash…

The manager at Family Dollar store at 1523 N 24th St. (24th and Hamilton Streets) in Omaha, Nebraska is one of the worst business managers I have ever encountered in my life. I have moved to a home close to this store, so I shop there frequently.

I have been treated abominably by the manager and a female employee there on every occasion that I have had to speak with them. The manager is a female who has openly ignored me and is rude every time I've had to speak with her.

I believe that her rude behavior is specifically targeted because she is very helpful to others while openly ignoring my questions to her; when she does finally respond to me, she is rude and almost confrontational. I will now only go into this store if I know that she and a female employee (appears to be in her 30's)…

Hello,

I came into the location i have entered below, to receive a refund &/or in store credit. After purchasing a comforter and bedsheet set. Along with several other items that added up to be nearly $100 which was on July 15th 2023.

The purchase was made with my debit card so i thought the transaction could be pulled up that way, being that I had misplaced the receipt.

But, staff informed she could not, and denied me the right to not only return but I store credit, despite your policy stating you do, give in store credit, as I was privileged to based on Family Dollar return policy and my circumstances.

Therefore, I believe I was Discriminated against due to my race and the fact that your staff had in fact forgot to remove a security tag the night I purchased the comforter, making me…

He did it in front of so many other customers and he has never once caught me stealing anything. A few days later my husband went in there and he told my Husband that he was no longer allowed to come in the store and he said it in front of 4 other customers.

My husband was so embarrassed. He said he did it so loud in front of everyone. Keep in mind he has never caught us or said a word to us about stealing prior to this. Because we have never stole from there.

I have been going to this family dollar since it opened on magnolia springs. I just went there the last said she was told by a customer they saw me steal a shirt but she hadn't looked at the camera.

And told me I go to jail if it was me. Well it's been over a week since I been there and if I stole something you think they would have enough sense to get the proof and not accuse someone of that before knowing it.

So I said I call corportte office and report her. It's the store located in magnolia springs Alabama

I then went outside and told my husband that I was unable to purchase the cigarettes he wanted due to my driver’s license issue. My husband went inside the store and the manager refused to sell him cigarettes because she it would be a “Third party sale” and that was illegal.

We both showed her our driver’s license that shows our birthdates. We are ages 56 & 57. I informed the manager that a Third party sale is when a minor attempts to have someone purchase cigarettes for them and that we were not minors, we are married and we both smoke.

I don't understand how you can say in your advertisement that satisfaction is guaranteed when satisfaction is totally otherwise anything but satisfying. m. m. m. m. now and their still not opened, and they are never opened on time. The shelves are never stocked, and a lot of times you have to find what you need on the stock carts instead of the shelves.

It's always nasty and never clean. And the employees all have attitudes when you ask them for help. In my personal opinion, I'd say shut it down. You can't have,"SATISFACTION GUARANTEED", with all this going on. Or fire them all and start fresh.

The manager at Family Dollar Watford City her name is Christy, decided today was the day she would yell at me for parking in the “handicap” there was no indicator that the spot was a handicap and therefore i parked there. She chose to yell at me and when i apologized for the incident she rolled her eyes and said “you are obviously not handicapped”.

Not all disability’s are visible, so just by looking at me how would she know that. I moved my vehicle and returned to the store to complete my shopping. I bought my hair dye and brought up how i might file a complaint then finished my transaction and went back to my car.

I needed to breathe and decide the best route for this incident. When i returned into the store to ask for her name, she sat there yelling at me about how i am “incompetent…
