Family Dollar
Reviews and Complaints

I went to 5410 West Chicago Avenue, Chicago Il Family Dollar at 5:56pm on December 1st 2022. The register clerk" Leeah" took my bookbag and threw it on the floor, behind the counter. I asked her to put my bag up on the shelf. She tossed it up on the shelf.

i decided then to leave and not shop in the store because of the way she was treating my personal property. i asked her to hand me my bag. Your employee held on to my bag, a tug of war commenced,. I cussed at her to let go of my bag. When she let go she threw it at me.

This store has a policy that all bags, backpacks, grocery bags, etc. must be placed behind the register counter before customers can go in and shop.

I'm really shocked that the Clerk was not told to stop by the Asst. Store Manager who witnessed the whole thing. The Asst, Store Manger "Tameeka" was on duty. All i wanted was my bookbag and your employee hit me with it,

I have filed a police report.

want this email forwarded to Mr. Levine, I want him to know what kind of people he is employing in Phoenix. Never in my 58 years have I had an encounter like the one I received in your store in Arizona at 3605 W. Thomas Road Phoenix, AZ

The person I spoke to said his name was David Green, not sure whether that is true or not. This happened on Wed November 30th around 2:30 and 3:00.

Here it is. When I pulled into a parking spot I noticed a couple of people waiting by the entrance. As I got out of my car a woman (another customer) told me they were counting drawers and they reopen the store in a few minutes. Since when does a store to count the drawer? Then another woman walked up to the door and started knocking I think she knew someone who worked there. She then opened the doors and walked in. However, the door was closed still closed to the customers waiting outside. After waiting 20 minutes I gently opened the door to ask how much longer this was going to take. At that point, a black gentleman says in a loud voice. "Don’t do that, don’t that it’s very disrespectful!” (some women just waked in but I am disrespectful for asking how much longer) I said I am just trying to determine whether I need to go and shop somewhere else. His reply was “I don’t come to your house and open the doors and ask questions” My reply to that was Since when do close the store to count a drawer his reply “I don’t have a god-dam manager here, then says to me good luck getting rung up in here today and proceeded to tell the other employees “DO NOT RING HER UP” in a word “Outrageous!” That is when I asked for his name, I told him I was calling Corp to report his behavior, and his reply “I don’t give a [censored] if you call Jesus!” I used to love Family Dollar, but this whole experience left a very bad impression on me. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior for someone who deals with the public, and I would hope that you deal with this accordingly. I was outraged when I left your store empty-handed. Like I said earlier, he said his name was David Green. Trust me when I say this guy certainly isn’t a valued employee, his behavior was disturbing and gross.

Thank you for reading this. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them.

I was in the store and as usual the store was junky with things in the aisles. This is not what I'm really upset about. I found the taste in music the workers chose to play very offensive. The music had profanity words like F_ _ K and N_ _ _ A. I was very uncomfortable, when I shop somewhere I want to be comfortable, but this store is rachet, ghetto and the workers are just as rachet and ghetto. To be honest it is the second worse Family Dollar in Greenville. Hire new workers with more professionalism about themselves.

i ordered cat litter by accident, i was checking the name of the cat litter i buy online on family dollar and i didn't even log in to family dollar and it took $12.72 off my account from paypal for 6 bags of lasting pride 7lb bag cat litter and it said for me to pick up at 13th street family dollar in harrisburg pa, it was order nov. 12th 2022 and it took money out of my account on nov. 18th 2022. i went to store several of times and called and they don;t have the order either give me my money back or the cat litter. i am very frustrated because i am on disability and don;t have money to give out for nothing.

I was wondering if you could tell me why the Family Dollar at 890 N. Lake St in Aurora, IL. 60506, store # 6669 is closed a lot of the time? I have tried going to that store 4 times in the last 3 weeks and they have been closed 3 of the times out of 4. They have been closed at 4:00 pm, it's not like it was a couple mins before closing! They last time was last week and they had a sign saying the power was not on, posted on the door, but all the lights were on, another time the sign said, Closed due to the registers not working. Do you realize how much money you are losing out on? This last time we went to Dollar General down the street and spent 131.00, which could have been spent at our store.A lot of ppl are complaining through out the neighborhood. That is not good at all! Could you give me the email address to the main office so I can let them know because something should be done about that! Thank you for your time, Marta Garcia

I called the Family Dollar in Madawaska Maine, to see if they happen to have any Christmas trees left, being my town Family Dollar was out of them. I did not want to drive all that way if they did not have any.

Sandy, who answered the phone said, "you just need to come in and shop." Thinking I must have misunderstood, I said " Excuse me?"

She repeated herself saying, "Ma'am, you just need to come in and shop". I replied. I live 40 minutes away, and did not want to drive there if yall did not have any, however, I'll just report you instead"

What kind of customer service is this? If this type of attitude is running your store, of course people would rather drive two hours then give this store our business. I'm honestly disgusted by the lazy attitude and rudeness presented by "Sandy"

Call was on 1122/2022 at around 11:30-11:45 call placed to the store in Madawaska Maine.

I was at the family dollar/Dollar tree store #01041 206 Ocean HWY S Hertford

The cashier was very rude she put my bag aside, and she didn't hand me my receipt. I had to grab it myself out of the machine. There are enough place to shop. If that is the way your people treat someone who spending their money. I will go somewhere that the cashier knows how to do their jobs.

The lady was rude she tried to come grab the clothes out of my my hand and she f****** wouldn't sell me the clothes I tried to purchase and she's f****** grabbed them out of my little daughter's hand also she was very rude she was very not professional at all and something needs to be done about that driving stuff out of people's hands and not selling your guys's product to us I think she needs to be fired

I purchased 3 floor rugs on Sat. 11/19/22 in which I paid cash for them, I discovered that the rugs were too big for the areas that I needed them for. I returned the rugs on Sun. 11/20/22 to the same store they were purchased from & was informed by the cashier, that because of the amount due $32.94, It had to be returned to me on a gift card. I was stunned & confused, I paid cash for the product & it was returned with a receipt within 24 hrs & you're telling me because it was more than $5 it had to be on a gift card, the cashier stated " This is Family Dollar's Policy, but I will verify this with my manager, per the manager, she also stated this is what Family Dollar has them doing. Why is this a policy, what is the rationale behind this, I could see if you had NO receipt & used an alternative payment method, Now I am FORCED to come back to Family Dollar & spend $32.94, where it should have been the cash back in my wallet, the rugs were a specific item that I needed in that price range, that doesn't mean there is anything else I need to spend that amount of $ on. For anyone customer or potential customer who reads this complaint, If you think you may have to return something for ANY reason & you pay CASH for it, make sure it is NOT over $5 or they will give you a GIFT CARD, Buyer Beware!

I have been a customer using this store since 1992 is when I purchased my House and I have never had a problem until about 3 weeks ago. I purchased some items and as I stood in Line to Pay. There were 4 woman and 1 male employee. This one Female employee was Bragging about Her Sexual Acts with other Women and How she Drives her Female Sex Partners into Climax. She did not leave anything out from the color of Her Dildo to the length of Her tongue. I was so embarrassed all I wanted to do was get out of there. While I waited to get my purchases bagged the Male employee stated if he had sex with her one time that she would only want to have sex with men like she supposed to, He held his Fist out to me for a Fist Bump a Friendly Gesture. I bump his Fist and said You the Man as I walked to the Door the Dominant Female. Started Cursing me out Calling Me and Old Black MF how small my private parts are and she could Whoop my Old [censored]. I gave Her the finger and walked out the Door. A few Days later I came in the store to get a things and one of the woman from that Night of the first encounter serviced me as I walked out the store the Dominant Woman came out of Nowhere and started Shouting Oh You Think I am having an Identity Crises. Went back in the store and asked for the manager to place a complaint . One of the woman who was there at the first encounter said she was the manager petite build silver nose piercing. Said I had to leave . Another woman who was standing outside the store with a child came in and a feminine male came in with her . .Then a woman from the back of the store came into the situation and said she was the Manager.

I explained to the manager that I have been shopping her for close to 30 years and never had a problem. I then explained that I never said one word to your employee but she keeps approaching me with Foul abusive Language and threating to whoop Me. Look at the camera and you cansee when I came in the store and exited the Troubled Female employee was not in there or the woman with the Child.

She Told me I could not shop in the store any more.

The store in New Meadows Idaho is a joke! The freight is never on the shelves you have to go thru the boxes in the isles if you want to find something. Either you pay lousy or nobody can pass a drug test cause there is never anybody to help you. The people at the cash registers are busy on their cell phones. Get somebody in there to manage or close it down. It's a waste of time to even go in. Thank you.
