Family Dollar
Reviews and Complaints

Hello I went to the family dollar in question with a digital coupon from Newport.com they still give the paper coupons but they're trying out the digital one I've to that store with same coupon they scan if no problem for some reason when I went there the last time the manager of the store denied me being able to use my coupon cause she's never seen it before she became really angry and rude even I've been there with the coupons and they've scanned it I go to family dollar stores a lot we do our shopping there pretty frequently there was no need for a manager of the store to act so rudely and tell me to go to another store

I am a regular customer at family Dollar in Centralia, IL. I know all the employees that work at this location and therefore, would like to remain anonymous in what I am about to say. I have contemplated even contacting corporate for these issues that I have with an employee but I feel that as a customer, our views/opinions matter because the we are what keeps the business running. Without customer support, sales would be on the decline. Never the less, these are my issues about one specific manager, Kimberly.

I have been in the store on numerous occasions, and have listened to her talk bad about the other employees, saying things like "Well, he can't do it because he is gay" or even "I don't even care about this job, it's just a paycheck." I have witnessed her physically touching another female managers butt and breasts and the other manager getting mad and upset about it and telling her to stop on numerous occasions. I have seen her get worked up because she messed up paperwork or have to call someone for help because she didn't know how to do something that as a manager she should know. I have personally witnessed her constantly being late to work like it is no big deal.

But my biggest issues are as follows:

1. She has received a ticket for selling tobacco to minors

2. She has been accused of letting customers take things without paying for them. (A lady named Ruby - whom she claims she is too afraid of to actually stop, when in reality she is friends with her)

3. She is always outside smoking or sitting in her white van.

4. Some days she smells like marijuana other days she is bouncing off the walls as if she is on some other drug.

My biggest issues is as follows:

One day a couple weeks ago I was on the store, it was a Thursday. I witnessed her get into a physical altercation with a minor customer. Kimberly was making comments about this minors mother and the minor punched Kim. Kim then grabbed the girl by her arm. Apparently the mother then stepped in and told Kimberly she had 1 second to let go of her daughter before she had to deal with her. The police were called and the customers were banned.

My question to you is why does she still have a job there? This store is located right next to a retirement home and it would be a shame if you guys had to close this store because of loss of sales or because theft is so bad that you choose to close the store. It would negatively impact many lives. Word of mouth is a big deal and can impact your establishment. Without your customers, noone would have that job. Therefore, I will no longer shop at Family Dollar/Dollar Tree as I feel your corporate values do not put the customer first. I will also tell my friends/family not to shop there either. Too many exceptions have been made for this one employee.

07/26/2017 Store #06986 Plymouth, Pa. On this date I tried to return three items about 2p.m. all three items were clothing items.These items were purchased on [protected].The cashier inspected the clothing and brought them outside to the manager who was smoking.The cashier pushed the clothes back to me and said"We can't take these back"no explanation as to why not.There is no reason as to why the clothing could not be returned.They are only 12 days old?Thank you for attention to this matter.

I frequent the Wareham MA store and last night was treated SO poorly by the 2 rudest employees. I go there probably every week, and one I see often and she's usually kind of cranky but last night was ridiculous. Her and the other woman were rude to me regarding the coupons you"clip" off the family dollar website and then were rude to my children when they asked how much certain items were because the shelves were such a disaster that nothing was distinguishable and it's right place. Yet one girl just sat at the end of the register chatting it up with the one who was running the cashier. Normally I see employees on their phone, Facebook messaging (I know the tone it makes they don't even bother to turn the ringer off) but they're not rude like they were so I let it go. But last night was the last straw.
This is store # 03399 Marion Road, Wareham Ma

I brought a mop from Family Dollar for 4.25 and it broke the same day. I took it back to the store and the manager at the time, called another manager on the phone and she told him that I can not return the mop because I must have handle it too rough. I told him I don't see any signs saying you cannot bring merchandise back. they did not ask when I brought the mop or did not care to see when I purchase the mop. they just seen it was broke. I did not get a chance to use the mop one time.

Date Brought was 07/19/17
Returned on 07/23/17

Acting manager refused to give back Receipt after of an item returned for refund. My daughter asked politely and the acting manager ignored my daughter. I was upset and I interrupted the acting manager for store Receipt. By then she said she can give me a receipt once she made a copy. Why! Couldn't the acting manager be polite about giving my daughter Receipt (?)

The store manager working on 07-19-2017 at Store #02489 SA TX at 14:53 ranging me up at the register and he was completely Rude to me. I went in with my backpack and he yelled at me that I couldn't walk in the store with my backpack to leave the backpack at the front of the store. There was no sign or anything to warn me of not being able to do so.

I went into a Family Dollar with a friend who was looking for a certain item that the store did not have.. I was ending a call on my cellphone as we were getting ready to leave the store and threw my phone in my purse as the store employee ran over to me and got in my face telling me she just saw me steal something and throw it in my purse and she demanded me to open my pocketbook that I never closed. I was so confused I looked around and asked who she was talking to and she said Im taking to you.. I just watched you take an item an put it in ur purse now open ur purse now! Then the manager came over and i told them both they were crazy and I didn't steal a thing and I was leaving the store. As i started walking out the store the employee who accused me of stealing called me a n[censor] on my way out the door. Then the manager started recording me with her cellphone threatening to call the police and have me arrested for allegedly stealing. I was so upset, humiliated, and appalled of being falsely accused and now being called a n[censor] also in front of another black customer who was so disgusted he left his items and walked out the store shaking his head at the manager and employee. I turned to the manager and told her she needed to review her camera footage and confirm what I stole. I ended up opening my pocketbook and let the accusing employee look inside it and asked her what exactly is it that she saw me steal and throw in my pocketbook? The employee who did all the accusing replied with "I don't know." I said well let me help you since you insisted i stole and since you insisted I open my pocketbook...it was my cellphone you saw me put in my bag! I had anxiety and my body was shaking so badly from the embarrassment of being threatened to be arrested, falsely accused, harassed and called n[censor] in a public establishment with other customers present.

He was super rude !i was their to do a return and my son had gotten a 50cents candy and he made me pay for it first before going in the store and after I called a family member to tell him how rude he was being with me he told me I had to leave the store because I was talking about him!im so upset and will never visit your store again!his location is in TAFT CALIFORNIA AND HIS NAME IS ROBERT THE STORE MNAGER!

I was in the store shopping and almost passed out because the air conditioner is not working I had to stop shopping and leave that's how hot it was in the store when I spoke to one of the cashiers she advised me that the air conditioner has not worked in months I think that is very unacceptable that you would force your employees to work under those conditions it is 100 plus degrees outside you have to window fans blowing on them at the counter that's not helping. I'm going to call the health department and anyone else I need to call to either clothes to store or make you sure there is air inside the building. I've shopped at some of your other stores and I'm never win and one with the air woods and on or working so is it because of the location that you don't care I just think it's sad.

I live less than a mile from the seven springs store. I shop in there 3 to 4 times a day. I spend alot of money in there . there is an employee by the name of amanda. Mt daughter will rum out if house and not slude shoes on. She goes in every time without shoes. When amanda sees my daughter amd im not with her she will harrass my daughter. Follow her around the store and make comments about her feet. my daughter has told me everytime well she never says anything when im in there. Well today she did and she was hanging all across the counter to look at my daughters feet then proceeded to tell her ahe had to leave mind u we were at the register checking out. I stopped her and asked her where their sign that informs customers of no shoes no shirt no service. Well there isnt one she then tells me she can make that policy. I then tell her to tell her managet to tell me my daughter has to leave. By this point im pretty heated. I was talking with a friend in line trying to avoid anymore problems will i ran my mouth to my friend and said noone needs to tell me what i can or cannot do especially without the proper signs in display. And i said i will drag someone if they start with me. Amanda then tells me i threatened a coworker and could never come back. That i was banned. And she was calling the law. The coworker she is speaking of is the manager and she was not even there anr amanda did not call the manager either. I do not feel as i should nor should my daughter be harassed to this extent over shoes.

I tried to pay for something in Penny's at family dollar, and they were going to let me, but since I was recording they didn't let me buy it. I'm allowed to record. Also paying with Penny's is 100% legal. It's the cashiers job to count the money just cause you don't want to do mean you can't do it. I've had poor service there before with works trying to rush me out, and saying I need my parents with me.

I have visited this store many of times and seeing the two same ladies turn around talking and not doing nothing but all the other employees that work with them or doing their work and their work for them too all they want to do is play around and talk on the phone I will include a photo of them playing around on company time Andover names are Amber and Jackie the store is in New Garden Shopping Center

I just left store #11073 on Youree drive in Shreveport la. I had several items to use digital coupons and printed and paper coupons, the manager Dane would not let me use printed coupons so I put my stuff back. I told him I have used them at several locations and so did the lady behind too. The manager said the company told them it was up to the managers discretion. I don't believe that it company policy for a manager to decide what each store is gonna do. Family Dollar store

I was shopping today at Family Dollar located in Bayou La batre Al, when I didn't find the product I was looking for I just get out of the store, and the employer was attended the store call me thief, insult me and said I stole some from his store, I told him back I got none with me I even ask him go check my car, He didn't it. Then I called the police, they check my car and they didn't find anything at all. It suck u go store and people treat u like that without a prove, at least I needed an apologize, but that white old man even have the manners to do it.. In my life I will back to a Family Dollar, ..

I went to Family Dollar in Roebuck Al upon entering the store there was only one person at the register talking to the employee so I wait until they are done socializing..get up to the register request what I needed(that was behind the counter)the cashier gets my item and as I am going to pay a black lady comes up from the side and tells cashier I can't believe you are going to wait on that white lady first, so the cashier informs me that she had to wait on her first because she had been in the back of the store getting items( I had been waiting for a little bit for the employee to get finished talking to her friend and there wasn't another person in line.cashier refused to check me out and took the other customer because she was black!I only had one item the other customer a basket full I will never go back to family dollar and I am going to tell every body I know about the treatment you get at this store! This isn't the first time this has happen at this store cashier won't even look at you, but they will carry on conversation if your black!i have overlook this behavior in the past but I will never return to this store enough is enough I will drive he extra miles to go to Fred's where they treat all customers the same.I treat all people with respect but this store employees don't.so if your white expect poor service from family dollar in Roebuck Alabama
