junky store
The Dewitt arkansas Family Dollar is terrible. You cannot get down the isles from carts stacked with stuff. paper on the floor ever where your cart get hung on stuff. Then when you go to check out the workers are behind the counter ignoring you laughing and talking to each other. Then when they check you out you give them a check they screwed it up and you have to give them another one. This store is not welled managed no one in town like this store, you ask to get help with something they just ignore you. I will not be back in there rant over,
employee's behavior towards patrons
I would like a call back in regards to the store located at 645 Troy St. Dayton, Ohio 45404 - phone [protected]
My niece and 2 grandchildren had went to the store for me to purchase some items on 9/20/19, However the girl that works at that location is very rude to them and stated to them they were not aloud back in the store due to they had spilled the juice from a Vienna sausage container outside of the store. This same girl has been known to argue with her coworkers in front of other patrons and humiliates/embarrasses them. I have witnessed this first hand. i am not comfortable going into this place of business with this type of person as your employee. I believe something has to be done regarding her behavior whether it be re-training on customer services, public relations. not sure. I refuse to go back and spend my hard earned money on anything from that location until the matter is resolved. I will continue to drive across town for any items I may need. i would like to request a meeting with the person that is over that store and my niece, grandchildren. I dont believe throwing children out of a place because they had spilled juice outside of the business. The children did not spill the item in the store, I know there is some "bad" kids that go into that place but I dont think my grandkids need to be put into a category as if they were the bad ones. I would like to also request a copy of the video to see what actually inspires this type of behavior. I am requesting from the person over the establishment at [protected] to resolve this matter. thank you
The date is 9/20/17 not 9/20/19 error on comlaint, was typing to fast and pushed 19 for the year instead of 17, My apologies
the staff
Hello I am a loyal customer to family dollar. I am writing because the manager in the store at westlane shopping center in Indianapolis, IN accused me of stealing. I have never stolen anything. It was an insult to me. The date of the incident was September 19, 2017. She told me that the district manager came in and told her that I was not allowed in the store anymore. I would like an apology from the manager and the district manager for accusing me of a crime I did not commit.
employee discrimination
I was a current family dollar employee, they discriminated me 24/7 they didnt want to help me, they didnt want me speaking with any employee or working with other employees. They didnt want anyone to work with me or speak to me, they all would help one and others out but wouldnt help me even when it was asked for. They also never mentioned my breaks to me, even if I tried to go on my breaks they would become very negative and start complaining. I was disrespected on various amount of occasions, and the manager at district 5719 edward smith tried to make me miss a day of work just so he can fire me.
items out of stock
I have visited this store several times in the last month and a battery that I need has been out of stock. The battery number is CR 2067. I have ask employees there at the store could they get this battery restocked and they always assure me that they have done this. One month should be ample enough time to get this item restocked. I am very disappointed in the service of this store in my little town. Could someone please respond to me and me know what can be done?
the family dollar store #08437 in bloomfield ct has often not been open per the hours noted by the store.
The store has recently in the past several months been routinely opening around 9:15. The hours as stated on the door is 9:00 to 8:00. I have watched numerous individuals leave the store doors upset. I am a routine customer who spends approximately $300.00 dollars per mi th on my household supplies. I am so frustrated with the running of this store that I have decided to go back to Walmart based upon these business practices.
The new manager spends most of her day talking in the phone, playing loud Spanish music and not performing her duties and or responsibilities.
I don't want family dollar to fail in our area. Several elderly individuals shop there, but are looking to go to Walmart if things do not change.
a customer's purse

outside trash
Your location in Sanford, Florida, located on the corner of Celery Ave and Mellonville, needs to do a much better job picking up the trash outside. Not only is the main entrance to the store a trash heap, there has been a pile of collapsed boxes at the Mellonville entrance for months. We will go to the city if this is not corrected and maintained daily. Thank you.
unsatisfactory and rude service by store manager
I recently went to the Family Dollar Store located at 200 East Saint Georges Avenue Linden New Jersey store number 11667. I'm a frequent couponer and I visit the store often. I've never had a problem at this store but this particular day September 19th 2017 I had an encounter with a very unprofessional and rude store manager by the name of Roberto. On a lunch break, my co-worker and I stopped at this particular store to do some couponing. After completing our shopping and as we approach the register the store associate immediately pointed out a store policy sign regarding couponing that was taped to the counter of the at the register. I place my items on the counter and gave the store associate my coupons. He never looked at the coupons and immediately summon the store manager who was standing to the side. The store manager by the name of Roberto look at the coupons and ask the store associate how much were the items. The store's manager stated he could not accept the coupon that would allow the item to be free. I ask Roberto where is it written in the store policy and to show it to me. He informed me that his district manager informed him of this. Keep in mind I was at this store previously and purchase the same items without any issue. At this point at this point the store manager took my coupon off the counter and the item and took it to the side and proceeded to take a picture with his cellphone of my coupon and the item when I asked her what was he doing he said that he was taking a picture so he could send it to his district manager I told him that he would have to ask me for my coupon before he could just take it from me. Iventure got my phone and took a picture of him taking a picture of my coupons. At this point he became irate and stated that he was not going to argue with me. Him that I was going to contact the corporate office. He then proceeded to offer to give me the corporate number and then stop while attempting to write the phone number ball the paper up and told me to Google it. How to treat a customer this way. Roberto then said you want to see unprofessional, get out my store and don't come back. I was so horrified by the disrespect of this of this store manager and his unprofessionalism it's beyond words. The store so if this is how Family Dollar Tree trains their managers to treat their customers then this company will not be in business for long. That was fast I demand this manager Roberto be reprimanded immediately for his actions this is no way to treat a customer frequent customer. Simply appalled.
service complaint
Good evening. The family dollar in Louisville ky on 4th and oak. The employee that was working tonight shift (09/19/2017) was very rude and disrectful. Also the manager closed the store at 9:45p. The store had a janky sign with hours mon- sun opening at 8am and closing at 10p. The employee watched me in aisle way of the sanitary items. I felt disrespected by that. Again the employee felt the need to continue to argue back and fourth with me and the manager on duty allowed her.
customer service
My Wife and I were at the Family Dollar Store #04022 today around 12:45 pm. My 53yrs old wife had to use the Bathroom.
Lori at the Register told her that their Bathrooms aren't open to the Public. But, my 53 year old wife could walk over to the Casey's Store, to use their Bathroom.
Later, When we checked out with our merchandise, my wife asked for the corporate Number. Lori changed her tune about their bathrooms.
That they were only dirty, and she hadn't had time to clean it.
My Wife almost peed in her Pants.
Is it your Company Policy, to close your bathrooms to the Public. And making them walk to another Business to use their Bathrooms?
When I called Customer Service, I was on hold for over 42 minutes, and never got to talk to anyone. When I called the Second time I was on hold for 49 minutes and was disconnected...
You can contact me at the Number above.

I was just in the family dollar located at 5519 78th St. South Tampa Florida Store #08053. My husband and I just went to this store for me tampons. He forgot his shirt and was buying one but the cashier was treating him like some kind of criminal or like she was to good to be serving him. I'm so pissed at that store and have alot of family that goes there and if you keep employees like that trust you'll loose lots of business. Thank you hope you do the right thing.
bluetooth headset
I bought this item from the store located at 2600 Main Street Jacksonville Florida. I had to pick up my medicine and went to a different Family Dollar which is at 223 East State Street Jacksonville Florida. The manager told me their policy on electronics is if you bring it back even with the receipt you can only exchange it for something else in the store. She also told me that I needed to take it back where I got it from because they don't even carry that item. She was the manager of the store that is working today. And was very nasty about it. She also stated that I can look at the policy but she had posted on the wall. When I went back to the store that I purchased it from on Main Street the 2600 block they told me that was not a policy that was a made-up policy and that she should not have told me that I am reporting the store at 223 East State Street Jacksonville Florida 32206 for putting up fake policies

cleanliness
I visited the store in 125 North Morrison Dr. Hammond, LA the store was so trashy and cluttered I couldn't enjoy my shopping experience. This is ridiculous. There were 2 workers present sitting by the front door. The other who was checking out was out of uniform with a shirt that he obviously took off the shelf. Something needs to be done about this.
$25 gift card purchased, but not received
My name is Steve Ross, phone # [protected]. I purchased a $25 gift card for Chili's restaurant on September 16th at around 12:30 at the Family Dollar Store in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. The Clerk ran out of bags and so some items I had to put in a plastic tub that I purchased. Upon getting home and going through all my purchases, no gift card. Went back to the store on the 17th and the clerk who rang up my purchase was there along with another employee. I told them both I didn't get the gift card and the clerk told me she handed it to me. That's all she said, no I'm sorry or anything. After awhile I said what are my options. The other employee told me to contact the store today (18th) and ask for Waunita who could look at the store camera to verify my receiving the gift card or not. I have tried calling the store several times (let ring 15 times) and no one answers the phone. I have the receipt showing the purchase. I do not live in Cloudcroft, but have a property there that I go to on available weekends. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I would like to get the card or a refund.
Thank you
employees
One of your employees by the name of Dion Patterson is currently seeing and messing around with another one of her employees by the name of Jimmy Samons and I honestly do not think that it is professional for a store manager to be dateing a store employee! Store number is 11006 Another concern I have is Dion Patterson has also admitted to me that even if an applicant fails a drug test she would still hire them in because she needs the workers.
manager tammy baker at sturgis ky
She accused my 8 year old son of stealing and had her hands on his head the whole time he went to show her where he laid the item down because I told him he couldn't have it. He sensitive to people touching him she saw he was right and didn't steal item she should have apologized but she came accusing him of something else and said she wasn't accusing him but kept on after she saw he wasn't lying. Called me stupid and hit me with door when I was leaving the door was open when I walked through it she started talking bad about me again and I stopped to listen and she pulled the door shut on my shoulder and arm I asked he why she just hit me with the door and she said she didn't but I asked then why is it hand on the handle pulling against it right now and the door on my arm and shoulder? I was so mad I just left and she said I could turn her in her name is Tammy baker and won't nothing be done anyways. If u had video u could see where she hit me with the door and held onto my sons head while he proved her wrong. Apparently she does this to alot of people and doesn't like it when she's wrong but accusing a child who proved her wrong she should have just apologized for accusing him and said she was wrong and not start in about something else. That store just lost me as a customer, my parents, my siblings. My friends, and I was in there several times a day to buy stuff because it is a small town I will now go to dollar store next door. Making a child cry and feel horrible for something they didn't do while putting ur hands on him and then slamming a door against his mom's arm is enough to scare any kid. And my 11 year old is autistic and is having a melt down over the whole thing and my 5 year old was there and he's blind in one eye and has seizures and speech disability and alot more issues I was just trying to buy them supper and get home. I'm a single mom of 4 kids with no help I didn't need that and neither did he. It's unfair that he had to listen to a grown adult say bad things about him even after he proved he didn't do anything wrong. She should have just apologized and left it at that because people r wrong not everyone is perfect including her. Not keep talking crap to an 8 year old...im very disturbed by all this. Because I've been going to that store for 8 years now. I've never had an issue like today. It happened around 3pm or a little after today.
workers
I got the family dollar storw on 1615 w. 59th st in chicago, il all the time. Every time you go into the store the workers are very rude they talk on there cell phones they talk to the customers with no respect. I have complain to the store manager serveral times in its seem like nothing is being done. I just went there about ten minutes ago where they have the store closed when they do not close till 8pm in remind you its 6:30. That location needs to be shut down there is no point of having a family dollars located there if half of the time we as customer's can not shop because on the weekends the workers closed the doors early. I really hope someone would really look into this matter
unethical behavior
On September 15, my boyfriend and I were going into the Family Dollar on Detroit and Grace . A store we have been going into for three years, and the manager started screaming at us telling us we had to leave. And did not want to give a reason. We had told the manager the day before about a shop lifter and now we are the ones being banned from the store.. Your manager was RUDE and HOSTEL. Your store managers need more people training. We will no longer do business in your store and we will inform others about your business.
