This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I and my husband went to the family dollar located on 6690 Highway 85 Riverdale Georgia. Nobody was at the registers other then another customer also waiting. When we approached the registers I noticed a bell. I rang that bell a worker (The manager on duty) arrived. Due to a very recent car accident (Saturday 12/17/22) and the fact that I nearly fell into...

The store in Aylett 4758 has to heat. It's been about 2 months. All the employees have been sick. Nobody seams to care. We have to wear coats and gloves. It is not fun to wear gloves and try to run the register. Gone through 2 levels trying to get help. With no heat doors will be locked. Customers come in and walk out because they said they are not going to shop in the cold.

Family Dollar Rude employees and store hours!

Good evening! My name is mr. Charles welch! 2 weeks ago the family dollar #8476 starting opening at 3:00 in the afternoon. Normally the store should been opened at 7:00 am until 10:00 pm! I had to go another to shop. Then the employees along with the assistant manager were rude and disrespectful. Somebody from corporate needs to come down and have a talk with employees as well as the assistant manager or whosever's in charge! And let them know that this kind of conduct cannot continue.

Desired outcome: An Apology For One! Sensitivity Training And Policy Changes. I Understand That Everyone Has A Bad Day Once In A While! But Employees Having Shouting Matches With Each Other. And Assistant Manager Doing The Same Cannot Be Good For Business!

Family Dollar I was racial provoked by your manager Tammy in cynthiana kentucky

1 month and half ago I walked in the store to get hooks for ornaments. She was setting down and asked her for help. She just pointed, she never got up so I had to go to Walmart cause I couldn’t find it. When I was leaving a white lady walked in and she gladly helped her because she white. So today I go get something for my mother and she was provoking me still. Ever since the first incident. So today I ask for cooperate number and she told me she don’t know it and wouldn’t get it. Look on the camera on 12/20 bout 4:55-5:10. You see she denies me the number to corporate

Desired outcome: Demote her or fire her. My lawyer wants to send you all a letter but I need address. My lawyer told me let him do all the talking. So that’s what I’m going do.

Family Dollar Sexual assault

On 8/5/22 my nephew and I pressed charges on a employee who touched me inappropriately. I ran to my nephew and told him about what he did. Less than two minutes later my nephew told me the employee did the same thing. I didn't believe it at first. We both argued about physically hitting the employee. I said no and told him to follow me. As we exit the store I noticed the cashier looking at us with her eyes wide open.

The Grantsville City Police Department launched an investigation. The Detective encouraged my nephew to confront him about his actions. The employee denied it at first but after awhile he confessed. Detective Greeko told us that we have a solid case. We were then introduced to a Victims Advocate, Delia Kirk.

We are still dramatized about the whole situation and want to file a civil suit against the employee for emotional distress. My nephew has been through a lot and this incident is making it worse.

Victims: Shane/Donavan

Desired outcome: Settlement

Family Dollar Misty the manager in Pine

Misty is the manager of the family dollar in pine and is very rude to all customers and employees. I have a friend that knows someone that works there and was in pain and needed to seek medical attention, but Misty acted with no sympathy and saw it as a problem. She did not want to give this lady off and thought with no concern at all. She is always rude to any customer that she has to speak to and that should be unacceptable of her. She also has had an employee get sick while at work and was vomiting in the bathroom but insisted on them staying and working the rest of the night. That is a health hazard if any. She never greets anyone with a smile, acts stuck up, and treats customers as if she is better than them.

Desired outcome: I would love to see her removed from this location at once

Misty is the manager of the Family Dollar/Dollar Tree located in Pine Louisiana on HWY 62. She is a very rude person that acts as if it is a problem when checking a customer out when another employee is on lunch break.

Family Dollar Poor customer service

Friday evening around 6:30 pm I went to the family dollar near me on Stafford rd. I only needed a few items but I only had a $100.00 Bill

the cashier informed me that she could not break it because her shift just started and also informed me that the manager on duty shouldn't have a problem because he had been there all day... She called for the manager I don't know his name because he wasn't even wearing a name tag,when he FINALLY approached the registered he just looked at her and kept walking, so she called out to him so can you break this without even looking back he shouts out a NO so i turned to him and asked is it that you cant? or because you don't want to? now from nearly at the end of the aisle he is yelling at me as if I were his child that he didn't have money and because he didn't like my attitude he wouldn't have anyway.. nice huh? so as i walk out after being told i needed to go to supermarket next door to break my bill "a store that also carried the items I was purchasing" he then approached me at the exist door to tell me that if anyone is going to give him an attitude he would say ANYTHING HE [censored]ING WANTED" THAT IS A DIERECT QUOTE! I SAID NOT TO ME YOUR NOT HE THEN INFORMED ME THAT OH YES HE CAN SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS TO ANYONE HE WANTS THAT HE DIDNT GIVE [censored] WHAT ANYONE SAYS! NICE CUSTOMER SERVICE HUH?

This child is just that an entitled little boy with a badge that says he can do and say whatever wants... i have children older than him NOT TO MENTION THAT I was a customer of this location since you opened the doors ... ! this boy could not have been more than 22-25 yrs old... not that age matters but maturity should be a factor when putting people in that type of position I was a retail manager for over 18 years and I've had bad hires as well, but I certainly would never promote a person with kind of demeanor to represent me or my store! someone needs to rectify this huge mistake this was by far the most hamulating experience I've ever had or even seen ...ABSOLUTELY UNEXCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR!

Desired outcome: This Manger on duty be demoted or let go!! he is the most unprofessional un-ethical person I've encountered in a VERY LONG TIME!

Family Dollar Dove soap ($4.99 and rung up at @6.00 and something and colgate toothpaste ($4.00 for 3 pack) and rang up at $5.10.

I have been shopping at family Dollar companies for many years and haven't seen such rudeness, and blatant disrespect by employees as I have at the one located at 650 Northfield Road, Bedford, Ohio 44146. For the last 3 times that I have shopped there they have put the wrong prices on the shelf items and when you get to the counter they say that it can't be over rode by the manager. They said they don't make the prices and try to overcharge you and pocket the difference. I know this because a manager has over rode it before. They have 3 black girls at the register and one in particular has started an argument saying they don't make the prices on 3 separate occasions. This has caused me to put all of my items back because I don't need that attitude when shopping. More customers have said they have had the same problem with this same black girl.

Desired outcome: I don't know the name of the girl but she is causing your store to lose business. I would suggest that she be reprimanded and if she doesn't change her ways to be dismissed.

Family Dollar exchanging a cosmetic product

I went to store#114 in Norlina Nc on Dec 14th, 2022, to make a exchange on some makeup items that i got a few days ago but i misplaced my receipt. the only thing i wanted to do was exchange it because i haven't even used it.. it was not a match for my skin complexion so i figured i would go back to try something different. Well i asked the cashier at the register could i exchange the item and he then said he needed to ask the store manager. She then proceeds to tell me i couldn't return because I didn't have a receipt and wouldn't let me exchange. I haven't seen a policy that wouldn't give you the opportunity to do. So, all I'm asking is to an exchange for another item. is this possible

Desired outcome: Looking to exchange my item and would appreciate a respond.

Family Dollar Store Manager or employee is a racist

I was shopping this past week at the family dollar dollar tree store here in Sebawing Mi. When an employee (white female really short hair maybe manager) commented to the cashier as a black woman entered the store she was "going to head back and watch the cameras" because "that" woman was probably stealing.

I do not know the history or background but found it totally uncomfortable that this employee would make this comment out loud in front of customers. I wish I could have recorded or tweeted this because others would also find it totally inappropriate.

I shop at this store all the time and was the first time I saw this employee must be someone new.

Desired outcome: Employee should be removed if racism continues next time I see this shopper in town I plan on sharing what I overheard.

Family Dollar Visa card

I purchased a Vanilla card for Christmas in the amount of $50.00 at your store in Bishop, CA #12264. My mom is old and not computer smart so once I got back home on 12-11, I unpackaged the card to activate it for her. The card was no good so I called Vanilla. Apparently, someone had used it in Bishop on 12-11 for a debit of $50. I didn't understand this, nor do I know how anyone could have gotten the card information as it was still sealed and in my purse until 12-11. But for it to be used in Bishop on 12-11 could only mean a store clerk had used it. I bought it in Bishop and it was used in Bishop. I bought it on 11-30 and left Bishop the next day for Yucaipa the next day. So the only person with the information for the sealed card could have been either the clerk or supervisor authorizing the activation of it. Again store number 12264, supervisor number 7109374 on 11-30 at 16:29. When I contacted the store they were of no help, I filed a theft with Vanilla and will be filing with police if possible. If this is not resolved I will no longer shop at Family Dollar anywhere. Thank you for your assistance.

Desired outcome: Card replaced.Eileen Sader530-[protected] Hamilton WayWestwood, CA 96137

My uncle, who is a disabled vet, purchased two prepaid phone cards from Family Dollar in Payette Idaho. The cashier told him she couldn’t print a receipt, and my uncle didn’t really understand what she was saying, and proceeded with his order. I was in the next line over paying for some items that I had so I was not with him, the phone cards that he...
