Family Dollar Coupons

I want coupons sent to me by US mail or I want the cash registers at the store I go to have automatic computer to scan an item for use of coupon. I don't have a phone to use. Put phones to use at the counter and allow customers to use them for coupons and return the phone after coupons are used. Do something to help us. We don't all own smart phones or printers at home. Provide me with paper coupons mailed to me through US Mail SYSTEM.

Desired outcome: Send me paper coupons in the US mail to use in the store.

Family Dollar Attempted assault

On February 26, 2023, at approximately 4:11pm, I purchased items from a Family Dollar store located at 3414 North Main Street in Columbia, South Carolina.

After exiting the store and proceeding across the street, a young Black male driving a White colored SUV, license tag number QVC-657, at a high rate of speed, stopped ahead of me and, without identifying himself, approached me in a menacing manner and demanded I surrender my bag to him for reasons unknown. I refused. The male, again, without identifying himself, demanded I surrender my bag to him and threatened, or "I'll run your a** over".

I proceeded to walk back toward the Family Dollar, at which time, the male pursued me in his vehicle, off the road and at a high rate of speed.

I proceeded to run to the parking lot of Auto Money Title Loans company on the corner of North Main Street and Sunset Drive. The male continued to pursue me at a high rate of speed through the title loan company parking lot, prompting me to run across the street to the Family Dollar parking lot, where a Black female, wearing a red colored jacket, presumably the store manager, was standing with her hands on her hips.

The male drove adjacent to the woman, who stated, [Y]oure good, at which time both individuals entered the store. [Area surveillance footage would support my complaint.]

I called the Columbia Police Department from a location at 2830 North Main Street, which dispatched two officers, a White female, Badge Number 26297 and a Black male, Badge Number 25278. Both officers proceeded to the Family Dollar store and returned shortly to inform me that the matter was a mere miscommunication and that no further action would be forthcoming from the police.

Because the male failed to identify himself, while demanding I surrender my property to him, and subsequently threatening to assault me with his vehicle, I construed the matter as an attempted robbery and attempted vehicular assault, causing me extreme emotional distress.

Therefore, this matter is being referred to both an attorney and the local prosecutor's office. Additionally, this report will be widely disseminated to the public domain.

Let this be a lesson to you if someone attempts to rob you and assault you with a vehicle. It's a mere miscommunication.

I went to the family dollar on 2/20/2023 around 2:30 in the afternoon. I was doing my shopping as I do on a daily. I spent around $85. I went to the checkout to pay for my food. I had a shopping cart on the North Side so I said let me take the cart and use it to bring my food home. So when I got done I went outside to put my food in this shopping cart and...

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...

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...

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.

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.
