So I came in the store with my cross body purse and Rebecca told me I couldn't shop unless I gave her my bag. I told her it was my purse and she insisted I leave it with her. I said no, this is my purse. So she told me I couldn't shop that I had to leave. As I was walking out the door I heard her call me a [censored]. I turned around and said "So now you're...

Let me start off by saying my name is Jenny Lynn Smith. I have been going to Family Dollar ever since it has been there. When I got done shopping with my food. I was trying to get the cart out of the store to put my bags in the car and the next thing I knew was that she started throwing my bags on the ground outside and that did not want even to try to help...

Because of her attitude, I start talking with the...

Made a purchase at Family Dollar #11256 of $2.29 cents. I gave the cashier a five-dollar bill. I was given $2.00, lacking the 29 cents to make 5. Then the cashier pointed at a sign: "no cash back." Generally, that phrase references cash back from a check, credit card or debit transaction. This time, apparently, it means customers don't receive correct...

Date: February 11th, 2023 Time: Around 3pm CT (Just before 3, though I checked out minutes after 3 because I was still shopping around for deals.) There was an employee who I would describe as a very short and skinny adult female, whom didn't look too young, maybe in her upper 30s or 40s. Supposedly, the end of her shift was at 3pm, and us customers did...

This evening 2/10/2023 at 8:52 p.m. I proceeded to open the front door of the store and an employee started yelling, yes YELLING at me to use the other door because the door I was opening was broken (according to her).

People like this lady working at the Madawaska store should not be there at all. She is the rudest person I have ever encounter in all my years of shopping and I am 71 year old. I worked retail for 20 some years and I would immediately fire a person that has no patience to serve a customer. Two other shoppers were near by and shook their heads in none...

I was in FD at 10:49 am on 02/09/23 purchasing a bottle of vanilla flavoring when I walked upon 3 hispanic employees in the back aisle talking and laughing in their native language.

On February 7th about 8pm I took my son and my grandaughter to Family Dollar Store#11704 51 Norwich Ave Ct. It was my 1st time going in that store so I was unfamiliar with the set up. As soon as we walked in a man stocking the shelves kept following us and making us very uncomfortable. My grandchild had $5 to spend and she kept changing her mind on what she...

Family Dollar Exchange program

It happen Feb.6, 2023. I went to exchange a propane bottle that was leaking around the valve where you open it. I had the receipt and the management told me that I could not return it. She made me feel like I was lying. We live a good way from this Family Dollar and we just stop by to get a few items and a propane exchange on our return trip from buying groceries Saturday evening.

The management thinks that we taper with the bottle. All the my son did was try and hook it up and told me and my husband that it was leaking around the valve. The lady today would not take it back and we are out 23.99. We are on a fix income and that money means a lot to us. We can't afford to lose it, I will not be going back to that store if this is not corrected and I will tell my friends and family about that store. The store is [protected]

Desired outcome: I would like my money back or to exchange my propane bottle.

Family Dollar Product febreze air/kitchen odorliminator. Bar code:[protected] bottom of bottom of plastic spray bottle : p2000-2-11 8.8oz (250g)

On January 30 I stop at the family dollar in Dayton KY on 6th ave and purchased six cans of lemon febrile air. And none of them would spray like they had no pressure in the can.

So I took them right back to the store and explained to the young lady the problem and told her she didn't put the receipt in the bag and I would like to have my money back or replace the product and she said to me that she is the only one working that everyone has quit their job and she can't leave the cash register and told me to go to the back door and find another box of freeze and I did so it was below freezing in that room products scattered all over the place the box of product had been mishandled the top of the spray containers broken off. So I returned and ask for my money she said she didn't know how to do it and I ask for the manger and she said I am the manger if I didn't want the freeze find something else and I said no thanks and left the store I was upset and one bottle in my hand and left the other five in the store so I turned around went back for the other five bottles and now there is her boyfriend that got nasty with me and she said that she had thrown the five bottles of febrile in the garbage because they would not spray so no return on my money and I tried some of the other bottles and they did the same thing so I choose not to take them I thought she would just return my money and she decided reason for that she had not been trained to do so and her being a manger I would say my personal option she wasn't paying attention because her people skills were below standard being a manger. I also felt as if her boyfriend was a threat to me so I left the store and that store was a mess of of of product laying everywhere that needed to put away and the stock area was freezing with the back door 1/4 of the way up letting all the cold air in the store stock. I will never go into that store ever again and the P&G product I purchased was damaged at the store from what I could see not saying they did damage the product but from the looks of things that family dollar needs a manager and I would like my six bottles of freeze replaced please at 4 dollars a that's not cheap and it was 7:30 pm on 01/30/2023 I still have just the one bottle of freeze and if I were proton & gamble I would find a different vendor to sale my product family dollar giving the company a bad name and not standing by proton and gambles policies. Thank you for your time. I also so feel as if proton and gamble should comp me something for my time having to do all of this I rather be doing something else but this needs to be addressed asap and I will file a complaint with corporate my info. 926 6th ave Dayton KY [protected] please feel free to contact me and that is my mailing address feel free to have my product ship to me for I have already wasted my time and my gas dealing with this issues over the cans of your product because honestly I can't say the family dollar damaged the product but I can say from the looks of the store all the products in the store was being mishandled. My option.

Desired outcome: I would like my product replaced and Would like the 12 cans of Febreze mailed to my home if possible if not how ever P&G does business'

Family Dollar Company policy

I go into Family Dollar and was greeted by a sign saying, Family Dollar celebrates Black family’s. Why is it okay to discriminate against whites and other minorities? How can we get past discrimination when someone is allowed to openly select a race?I don’t have an issue celebrating families.It’s when you pick one race above the others.It’s wrong

Desired outcome: Include all people and not just one race
