Family Dollar I am complaining about 4 female employees

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.

Desired outcome: Reinstate my use of that store and have your employees respect people and not envolve the public with there personal issues

Family Dollar Unorganized store

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.

Desired outcome: I would like to enjoy seeing what you have without going thru the boxes myself

Family Dollar Homedale,Id. Family Dollar store

Last time I was in this store, about 3 weeks ago. There was inventory threw out the store, that people could have gotten hurt from. This store goes through a lot of workers there. The store is a mess and needs help restructure the workers and store. Outside the store is a filthy mess. The store needs help badly. I would hate to see it close down, as I and many people like The Family Dollar.

Every time I go to Family Dollar Store number 11730 The price on the shelf is not the same as when they ring you up It's usually from 50 cents to a dollar more than what you see on the shelf I don't think that's right they need to change their prices on the shelves because you are misguiding your clients and stealing money from them this is what they call highway ride

Family Dollar Unprofessional "manager"

Visited the location on 4301 Moss St., in Lafayette, LA on 11/11/22 at 530 pm. I went to the register with my purchase of Dr. Teals 3 lb bag bath salt. The sale price indicated $5.00. Two workers were present at this time, a male worker stocking, and a female behind the counter. As I approached, the female employee acknowledged me, with a sigh, as I placed both bags on the counter. The price rang up as the regular price, of $6.15. I mentioned the sale price, and we went to the location of these items.

Upon arriving, the employee, started the sale ended yesterday, she noticed the tags, and did not remove them. She removed the one tag & we walked back up front. She asked if I still wanted the items at the current prices. I indicated , "No, I would like them for the sales price". She replied, "She's the manager & makes her own prices." She continued saying, I was a "racist [censored]!". As I was leaving, she said she doesn't serve white people in this store anyway.

The actions of the "manager" are uncalled for and unbecoming of a professional.

Desired outcome: Not my call.

I have been shopping at the Family Dollar store in Glendale Heights, Illinois for approximately 4 years. I have regularly purchased 6 Crystal Geyser spring water bottles in the 1.5L/50.72 fl. oz size. The most recent time that I purchased any (only 3 were there) was October 16. When I returned on October 24, 27, November 3 and 9, there were No Crystal Geyser bottles in that size. I prefer this size for convenience.

Desired outcome: Please send more Crystal Geyser spring water in the 1.5L/50.72 fl oz bottles to the Glendale Heights store.

Family Dollar Over pricing on all of my purchases

I visited your store at 8425 Colerain Ave on 10-29-22. I bought several items paying close attention to pricing because I have become suspicious of different prices being on the self than at the cash register.

Sure enough I was questioning the pricing when I got to the cash register and was told by the Cash Register attendant in a very nasty way "do you want it or not mam" I told the cashier if I did not want it I would not have these items in my cart.

The line was long and some of the customers started to yell at me and tell me I was holding up the line. I was still questioning the cashier because there were more items that did not match. The people in the line started calling me names and threatening to jump me because I was questioning my money.

I left your store in tears thinking I was going to get jumped for holding up the line. Needless to say I got home and checked my receipt and was even more horrified as I was overcharged for almost every item on my receipt. My bill came up to $152.70.

I went back to the store to talk to the cashier and she was indeed putting the right prices on some of the items. I took pictures of the items I purchased and and of the receipt and I was indeed overcharged.

Desired outcome: A full refund and compensation for my embarrassment and harassment of not only the female cashier but the customers for questioning what I knew that I was going to be overcharged.

Family Dollar Employee

I went to the store to make my usual purchases, and the cashier behind the counter was very unprofessional. She was on the phone yelling, and cussing in front of the customers! When I approached the counter to pay for my items she greeted me very rudely, and was still cussing on the phone. Her name tag said babygirl! I am very dissatisfied with my experience

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response, and for that employee to be disciplined on how to behave in a professional setting!

Family Dollar About store opening and closing late or early

I live in Charleston,SC. I go to family dollar everyday when it opens for the last 10 years. Your new manager is not opening the store on Old Towne Rd 29407. They are closing between 3:30 and 5:30 everyday. Today they are still not open. I am a good paying customer that uses there services when they are open. You can reach me at [protected] or email me at [protected]@gmail.com. This problem should be fixed. Directly. I literally watched 10 cars get turned away, because they are not open. I have been in management for over 15 years as a manager if someone does not show up it's your job to stay until business hrs are over. That is why you put them on salary.

Desired outcome: Find someone who can open store from 8 to 9 as it is supposed to be open.

Family Dollar In store customer service

Went to Family Dollar in Prescott, MI on 10/27 at about 2 in the afternoon.

We got to the check out and the teller was restocking the candy bars and she said she would be with us in a minute. About 7 minutes later she finally came to check us out after she had restocked all the candy bars and picked up the empty boxes. My fiance' wanted to walk out but I needed the items I was buying.

While she was checking us out I noticed her body odor was awful. I almost vomited. I felt she must not have taken a shower in about a month. In reality it was probably the cardigan she was wearing. Not appealing at all.

Family Dollar Customer service and sales

I have visited the nearest Family Dollar to me (Belfontaine & Chambers) many times and I am not exaggerating, every time I purchase multiple items there are at least 3 items that display one price and I am charged a higher price.

Specifically last night I purchase puppy pads that displayed $15.75 and I was charged $17.00, The puppy small cups of soft food displays $1.10, I was charged $1.20 for each.

At one time I started going to the store on Bellefontaine and Dunn Rd. They are now closed. That is why I returned to the Bellefontaine & Chambers store.

What makes it more aggrivating is your personnel there. Namely, Tamika? She is very mouthy unnecessarily. I asked her to refund my money and I will have to find another store that is true to the displayed prices. She proceeds to tell me that is fine. She not the one make the rules. They cannot honor the displayed price. Don't expect her to change it. All that was not necessary. She continued to verbalize how she sleeps well when she go to bed at night. I could not believe her attitude. Even the worker with her said something to the effect of going to another store. I said I beg your pardon, Tamika said "She was talking to me not you". That is what made me take the time and register a complaint.

Also I said I am sorry they closed the Dunn & Bellefontaine store, Tamika said that is because they had thieves in that store. That was not necessary either. She will someday mouth off to the wrong person.

I plan to periodically take a poll of the customers that comes out of the store and see what can be done about this pricing issue.

Thank you

Desired outcome: Fire Tamika and stay true to your prices displayed

Family Dollar Family Dollar Store 2617 Fulton Houston, Texas 77009

On October 28,2020, I went to the above mentioned store, the clerk who told me his name was Terry, was very rude and verbally abusive. It was 9:00 am, i was trying to get i the store to purchase a item, this individual Terry informed me that he was the only one there, and he was not going to open up the store. There was also a vendor at the door, waiting to enter as well. Terry allowed me to enter, but the store and stated these motherfuckers make me sick. I basically ignored him. Upon leaving the store, I told him that he shouldnt talk to customers like that if he wanted his job, he stated I dont need this dam job. I shop at this store frequently, and I've never been treated like that before, I would ask that you look into this, and whatever resolve that your company have for hopefully no one else will treated like myself.

I am a Legal Assistant at Wade Bettis Law in Pendleton Oregon. I shop or did shop at the local store in Pilot Rock Oregon until two employees began to harass myself, my husband, and now my two children aged 10 and 7. This is happening due to a citation the employees' teenage daughter received based upon my complaint, and now my family is being targeted by these people. I am hoping to confer with you in regard to this matter before proceeding further with the Courts. Feel free to reach out to me at [protected] or [protected]@bettislaw.com

Desired outcome: Termination of employees
