Family Dollar Attitude - sales associate.

Saturday 3/12/22 around 2pm shopping at your store in Parkesburg, Pa. Wiping the counter, the young saleswomen say don't do that, due to wires being by/near register. I reassure her I did not touch any wires, I said to her why is when I come into this store, and you're here you have an attitude toward me. She says she don't know me. I Mention to her you do know me from shopping here, which she denies. I ask to be rung out which she refused to do. Ordering her other coworkers not to ring up my sales and taking the till out of the register where I was in line at. I find her customer service was rude, not professional, and without merit for the reason me being there. My name is Rhett Lipscomb Thanks

Desired outcome: I want an apology from her in front of her coworkers that she put on the spot...

Family Dollar Employee

I was in your store at 108 S Orchard Dr. Park Forest, IL at 4:45 p.m. today, March 11th. I wanted to purchase and a black pullover shirt which was marked $6.00 there was a sign that said the pink square tickets were 50% of (picture enclosed) this item had a pink square tag on it. She took the sign down but i found it and was able to take the picture. The shirt rang up for $6.00 i told the cashier it was on sale, she told me no, i said the sign read 50% off she wanted to see the sign i showed her the sign she said that sale was over. I asked to speak with a manager she said the store don't have a manger, i sated i wanted it at the sale price she refused to honor the sign, so I said I wanted to take a picture of the tag and write corporate, when i went to pick up the shirt she proceeded to snatch it from me so now we playing tug a war, she bent my finger while snatching it from me, that was assault, now i'm mad i knock the m&m down and she said she was calling the police i told make sure she tell the whole story, she asked me to leave the store, i left and tried to call corporate she followed me outside, leaving the customers in the store, and she continued to scream at me and i'm screaming at her, she had her phone in my face me i proceeded to block her from putting the phone in my face. I can't believe all this happened over $3.00, unbelievable. She spoke with an accent, could have been Jamaican or African. She went to far, that was totally unnecessary and I don't appreciate being treating like that over $6.00. No name tag on at all.

Desired outcome: Reprimand, suspension without pay, retrained on how to treat customer, I appreciate a response, i would like a public apology from the employee.

Family Dollar Product on WoW $1.00 dollar shelf

I went into the store on Board Street, in Union City, GA I purchased a bottle of Dreft along with some other items.

After I purchase the item, I noticed that the item rang up for $9.00, but it was on the WOW dollar shelf for $1.00. When I purchased the item there was 4 other bottles on the shelf together. I came back into the store showed the cashier the item she and I walked to the area where the item was located, there was still 3 bottles of Dreft left in the same place where I got the one that I purchased earlier. The cashier saw the items on the self for that above mentioned price.

One of the stockers told me "I cannot let you have that item for $1.00", very aggressively, I told her the item was here on the self with 4 other items, she continued telling me in a very rude and aggressive manner.

I cannot let you have the item. I told her that I know if items are listed on the shelf with a price located for that item. the store must sell that item to the customer for the price listed.

She stated to me I know my job. I told her that I would contact Corporate, she said I can give you the number in a very rude and aggressive manner. I know my job, very rude, she didn't try to resolve the problem or offer a solution. She wanted to argue about this item. After I noticed that she wanted to continue in a rude manner I told her that I would call Corporate, she said in a very rude voice " You want the number?" I just told her that I have the number and walked to the front and left the store

Also, the person {Stocker} who placed the items on the self was standing near, as we talked the other stocker told her not to place those items on the self.

I am complaining about the rude behavior of this employee and also to have my concerned about the price corrected'

Desired outcome: Receive the Dreft at the price listed on the shelf. Please address the rudeness of the stock person in the store. At the time of this incident, she had long brown braids, she is an African American woman.

Family Dollar Unprofessional service

I went to Family Dollar March 6th 2022 to purchase a few things and one of the things I was about to purchase was one can of beer along with the rest of the things, as I proceeded to the cooler a associate of Family Dollar told me that they are not selling beer I did not see a lock on the door there was no information on the door stating that no alcohol is being sold so I asked her why and she got really smart for no reason at all she was talking to a customer seemed like she knew him said to him to where I can hear it and other customers heard it . And she said he's going to ask me why we are not selling beer and I felt like if I come into your store spending my money and ask a question about a product and for you to behave like that that's unprofessional so I proceeded to the next cashier and I asked to speak to a manager as I was paying for my merchandise and the associate told me that she was the manager so I said okay that's got to be a district manager it was so embarrassing how can this person being a manager and have an attitude like that that's unprofessional here is the store information store number [protected] E 21 st p.s I have my receipt

Desired outcome: For her to be corrected that she's representing Family Dollar and it just might be I may not be the only one everyone cannot be a manager when they cannot control themselves when dealing with customers

Family Dollar Terrible rude manager

12/24/21 The manager was rude about having to unlock the cell phone case, then quoted me the wrong price and wouldn’t check the right price on a phone even though it was clearly in the wrong spot, I ended up leaving without a phone and feeling very disrespected. 1/13/22. The manager was staring at me and following me through the store like I was doing something wrong all the way up until I checked out, even when I was checking out she was staring at me like I shoplifted or damaged property, she would come to every isle I was in, and from across the store glared at me the whole time I was checking out she made me feel very uncomfortable, she could have asked to check my bags I would not have minded but the way she went about it, and how she made me feel was totally uncalled for even if she didn’t care for me, I can’t think of any other reason she would do that to me. I don’t understand what I did or why she was looking at me that way but it was very uncomfortable and rude. 3/6/22 The manager there is rude and unfriendly, very rude to my children and very unpleasant, she scolded my children for being to loud and they were just laughing, my children are 4 and 5, and they were not being disruptive, this is not the first time I have been there and witnessed her rude behavior.

Desired outcome: She should not work in customer service

Family Dollar Wrongfully accused of theft

Went to the store because I had a ill child at home and I also had to purchase a few other things for dinner. So as you walk in the door the medicine aisle is in front of door. I grab cough drops and start to round the store seeking the other products I needed. However I soon see that two things that were absolutely necessary, were out of stock and the third thing I needed, family dollar didn't carry. I stop and spoke to another customer for a few minutes, put the cough drops down on can good aisle and started walking toward the front of store. I am no stranger to this store, I am always talking to employees and seeing how they are, or notifying them on if I found what was needed. This particular night a lady named Sue Ellen was working, a new employee. I walked to counter, I spoke and asked how she was and proceeded to tell her I didn't find what I was looking for, before I could finish my sentence, she asked me to open up my coat and to pull out my left pocket because it looked big. I was floored to say the least. I asked if she was serious and if she understood that this was wrong. She pressed on about it and even asked me to walk to back of store, while yelling "Don't try to put anything away either". I was so embarrassed. Batesville is small and I am pretty well known for my customer service and hospitality. As we got to the back, the manager Kimberly Burns, allowed her to explain and then told her how wrong she was for accusing me of something she didn't see and how it went against policy, she argued with her own manager and still continued to call me a thief. The manager had to yell for someone to take over her register because she had a customer there. I have called a complained, still haven't heard back. I am almost like a joke now, being playfully frisked by other employee. I smile but I am still very angry about this.

Desired outcome: Compensation

Family Dollar The store in general!

The Family Dollar I'm writing about today is the one on Ann Arbor in Dallas,Tx 75216. I need someone to explain to me why this store has been closed a lot. the door has plywood on it. I understand that this store has being hit on more than several occasion. Not only that the store is just pure out nasty! Products are everywhere! Now I understand that people say it's the area. But this area spends a lot of money in this store! Get somebody with authority over there and take a look at this store! And really do something about that store. It's a hot mess! The store off 67 Hwy. doesn't look like that! The store in Desoto on Polk doesn't look like that! The store on Jefferson doesn't look like that! SOMEBOY NEED TO DO SOMNETHING. COME ON GET UP! Quit looking at your bottom line! Because it's that what you're looking at then this store should look as good as it's doing!

Desired outcome: I want something done about this Store.

Family Dollar Family Dollar Has A Very Foul Odor

The Family Dollar in Ladonia, AL has a very foul-sewage and death smell. This is an everyday thing. On cold days, the smell is unbearable. Today, 2-23-22, the temperature is warm, and all the doors are open for ventilation. The smell was in the air. As I walked to the back of the store toward the restroom and warehouse area; the smell intensified. I had to grab the toilet paper on the back wall before the nauseating smell made me puke.

Desired outcome: Close & Remove Everything From Store For Proper Cleaning & Sanitizing, And Clean Shelves.

I entered a family dollar store in Fairburn, Ga. on 02/22/22, between 215 and 230 pm. I shopped for 4 items and went to check out. There was a woman behind the counter at the register closest to the door, on the phone. She looked at me. There were no other customers at the checkout. I waited for about five minutes and she did not acknowledge my presence and...

Family Dollar Customer service, vogue language, vogue music over the intercom.

Good morning, yesterday I was @ Store #01112, 2251 Edgewood ave in Jacksonville, Florida. I was shopping and could hear music over the intercom playing real loud. To my surprise the music was so vogue I had to ask the cashier, where was that coming from she said inside the store, I explain that there was children in there and they shouldn't be playing that kind of music. We are talking about (sucking D----), Bi-----, dropping it hot, all kind of stuff; Also, are you aware that sometimes we have to go to other stores, do to the fact that that store, is always closed. Sometimes it smell that someone is smoking weed.

Please do something about this, it shouldn't be happening. I work here for the city I have never experienced something like that before. The girl was young, but that shouldn't matter.

Family Dollar dog food

I was in Family Dollar in New Lexington, Oh 43764, on February 14th, 2022 I usually go weekly to purchase my dog food and any other products I may need. I purchased 16 cans of Purina dog chow, classic ground, and I still have the receipt. I had other products, so my total was $81.56. I didn't notice right away, but later viewed the receipt to check prices and saw I was billed $1.40 per can of dog food instead of $1.20 per can which was what it was posted for. It's February the 18th and I called to have the amount corrected. The manager, Hope, said to call her back in around 15 minutes or so so she could contact someone. I did. The new staff member told me she had gone home, so I asked to speak to the manager. She said I'm the manager. I repeated my issue. She asked to put me on hold. I agreed. It was such a simple issue, I didn't understand. When she got back on the phone; this manager was Tonya; she said I had to bring in the receipt, which I agreed to, but she said I had to bring in all sixteen cans of the product, which I had already fed some to my dog.I asked for headquarters phone number. She gave me [protected]. I called and no one answered, kept telling me they helping other customers, until it turned 5 o'clock and my call was terminated.I would be happy to take in my receipt, but I wanted clarification whether the price went up or not. Such an easy thing to correct, but by the end of this, I was very upset to be treated like I'm a problem customer when I have going there for ages. Please train your staff better and please help me correct the issue.

Desired outcome: 16 cans x .20 = $3.20 cash or credit or proof that cost per can went up to $1.40.

Family Dollar myself

While shopping at family dollar yesterday in Glenville WV, I was looking at the t-shirts and I went to bend down and cut my face off a sign holder that did not have a sign on it and was at one point covered by a shirt and I could not see it sticking out. I cut my face and it was bleeding and now today it is sore and bruised. My fiancé told the manger and all that was done was to give me a phone number that didn't get me anywhere. The sign holder was not removed, and no report was taken. Email is feliciagreen.[protected]@gmail.com

Felicia Green

Desired outcome: I would like something for the pain I have been caused from being hurt.

Family Dollar Selling expired food

On February 12, 2012 I went to the family dollars located at 3544 Covington Pike Memphis, TN to purchase a bag a chips and box of cereal. Once I got home I realized that I was sold a box of expired Honey Nut Cheerios with an expiration date of December, 25 2021. This is beyond ridiculous and disgusting.

I’m sure this a health violation and there is more expired food that is being sold at this store.

This location has poor management and the store is always in Disarray. It’s sad that I have travel to a different neighborhood in order to have a better experience.

I want a refund for my entire purchase.

Desired outcome: I want a refund on my entire purchase. I want someone from the health department to inspect this store.

Family Dollar Managers and Asst. managers

Greensburg, KY. As a customer I have noticed several times the managers are talking to other employees about other employees. Talking badly about them, how they work or don't work and wanting or expecting confirmation on their thoughts. This makes for a very toxic work environment. Pitting one employee against the other. I will stop shopping at the Greensburg, KY store simply because I've seen it happen every single time I've been in there.

Today, there was a manager and an asst. manager behind the counter talking about an employee while this employee was trying to put out stock and had the help of another asst. manager cleaning up a spill. Over the intercom were not one, but both of the managers behind the counter, calling for the one employee that was putting out stock and cleaning up a spill to come up front to wait on a customer. It was obvious that both the employees were very busy trying to clean up the spill while the ones behind the counter were doing nothing. Greensburg, KY Family Dollar has become a toxic place to be. There is no respect between the managers and employees.

Desired outcome: The manager of Family Dollar should be made aware of the what the Dollar Tree manager is doing during her absence from the Greensburg, KY store.

Family Dollar Closed during business hours

It is 6:33 on a Monday night. I am sitting outside waiting for the sign on the door that says "closed for lunch be back in half hour". Now I understand things have been tough and weird the last couple years. And I've seen plenty of staffing issues everywhere including the store. But to take a half-hour lunch during the two-hour time when everybody is running their errands on the way home from work is absolutely uncool. There are seven Vehicles sitting out here with me. It has been longer than a half hour. I shop here every day and I love the staff but tonight I am not happy

Desired outcome: How about not closing during business hours?
