Family Dollar Store #5847 in Brownsville texas working with no air condition since 7/22/22.

store is operating in high hot temperatures for the employees and for the customers. It's an oven in there since 7/22/22. No air-condition as well on 7/23/22 and the frozen coolers also shut down. district manager very irresponsible. Store should be closed. if there are sell frozen food at 50% off who knows if it's still good and since when. Customers are all complaining about how hot store is and so are employees. POSSIBLE LAWSUIT IF STORE DOES NOT SHUT DOWN WHILE PROBLEM IS NOT FIX!

Angry customer

Desired outcome: closed store immediately until air condition and coolers are working properly. Its an emergency hope this gets read as soon as possible.

Family Dollar Return not accepted

Today is the 2nd store I have stopped to that I don’t accept a return of a bathrug. It is unused and attached tags. Each time I was told that it had to go back to the original store of purchase. I’m in Jacksonville Fl first store was 929 McDuff south and the second was 2610 Main St.

I will burn the extra gas in a already increasing economy to go all the way to the original store which is #05161 571 n main st.

All this over $12.00, just wanted you to be aware.

Desired outcome: Update on procedure and a gift card for the inconvenience.

This manager Bianca is very unprofessional and she was rude along with her employees. I took things to the register and the price listed was not the price that was ringing up. I then told the employee that the price was wrong, she called for another employee and she told her give it to me for the price I seen. The employee was unable to change it so she...

Dear customer service I am complaining about being overcharged for cat food every week I go into Family Dollars by the same employee I tell her the price y'all have listed on the Shelf but she charged me what it ringing up in your system which is not fair if it's on the shelf saying one price that's what I should be charged so I feel like she pocketing the...

Family Dollar Problem with online order

I placed an online order #EC471519967 on 6/28/2022, and received an email on 7/11/2022 that my items were in store and ready to be picked up. I went to the store the same day and was told the manager was not there that day and they only had two of the three items that I ordered. There were two cashiers working at the register at that time and I asked for a refund for the third item that they did not have and neither of the cashiers knew how to do that! After waiting for about a half hour while they waited on other customers and tried to figure out how to refund me the cost of the third item I asked if I could just buy another item at that price and the cashier told me they couldn't do that. I could see they were no going to be able to help me so I just left without my items. On 7/14/2022 I called the store and asked to speak to the manager and was told she wasn't there, but would be back in about an hour, I left my phone number for a call back and after 2 hours I never received a call back. I had a doctors appointment that day so while I was out I went to the store again and asked for the manager the girl at the desk pointed to herself so I gave her my paper with my order number and she again told me the manager wasn't there. At that point I said "Is she ever here" which she said she was there this morning! Since no one has been able to help me actually get my order and I still want my order, I ask that you would send me my order free of charge to my home address. I am not going to keep going back and forth to the store to try and pick up my items on the chance that I will catch the manager actually there.

Desired outcome: I would still like my items that I ordered, so I would ask that you send them to me at my home address.

Family Dollar 1464 store Richmond TX

I went in to purchase some items at the end of my transaction my items were not bagged. The cashier stated "we don't have no bags". I responded what am I suppose to do. The cashier suggested I place my items in a cart to get them to my car. I asked if they had some bags I could purchase she stated no. And there were no carry baskets. What kind of store don't have bags for customers to place there purchased items in. This is unexectable after spending my money.

Desired outcome: The manager should have made sure she ordered the supplies needed for the store to include bags

Family Dollar Customer Service

I went to make an exchange at the Family Dollar on Council and Nw 39th in Bethany, OK. When I entered the store the cashier was busy assisting a customer, so I went ahead and grabbed what I wanted to exchange. When I approached the register I was not acknowledged and had to wait. She did apologize but proceeded to tell me that they only exchange items that are exactly the same. I had my receipt and wanted to exchange the 2025 batteries for the 2032 size and they were the same price. She told me next time come to the register first because it looked funny. I just spent 83.00 dollars the day before

I felt as though I was being discriminated against because I am black. I do not steal and I do not want to be accused as a thief.

Desired outcome: I would like to know the policy for exchanges.

some stores have it listed on the bottom of the receipt for returns.

below is from what i have read on my receipt or told by associates of stores i frequent.

as for the policy itself it is governed by the rules sent from corporate [if they tell a store not to do returns or to accept them] then the franchise owner and manager takes those corporate rules and can just use those or modify them to reflect how they want. so they could get orders to only accept items of similar value or a similar item from corporate or they can change it to be same item only or same price value only. it's from what i have seen not geared to discrimination factors BUT this doesn't mean the policies of the franchise store that the franchise owner and manager created are not leaning to discrimination.

Family Dollar Store manager behavior

On July 4-2022 around 5:10pm-5:30pm the store clerk on duty proceeded to instruct me I have to leave my empty book bag at the front counter because people steal and he wants to make sure I’m not stealing! First of all I’m 50 yrs old and have better sense than to steal $27 worth of merchandise from you. I only came here r cause the stores close by me and I needed a few items. This is very disturbing that a clerk would harassing me for 7 minutes about an empty book bag that I carry my purse inside because I’m planing on putting the things I’m buying in it. This is totally unacceptable! Id rather go out my way to super Walmart now.

There’s a difference between being respectful and polite and being a nasty worker and harassing customers!

Family Dollar store service and opening

all month of May and June.

Since the beginning of the month of May the store on 44th and Bryant Ave. in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma has opened then closed within an hour. It constantly stays dirty and cluttered. The cashiers are rude and are constantly on there phones. They are always short on stock. It may as well be shut down. If not I would recommend a complete remodel of the complete store and a complete change of staff.

Desired outcome: You need to send a Rep. to check this issue as soon as possible, and I would do it without knowledge to the store.

This store is an embarrassment to the neighborhood. There is garbage littered everywhere and waist-high weeds surrounding the building and parking lot. The lack of property care is now encouraging rat infestation. The Owner should contract with a local landscaper/ maintenance company for routine oversight & clean up of this business, as the rest of the businesses and homeowners do. It is a disgrace.
