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

The store at 800 Kansas Ave, Kansas City, KS is a very busy store, but their baskets and carts are continuously being stolen to the point now that they have none. I addressed the problem to them and suggested they tag the carts like some stores do with valuable merchandise that alerts the store when it is taken outside the store perimeter without paying...

I go from store to store looking for a bargain. When I find a good deal on food, I buy it and give to the needy. I know several people who are struggling with the cost of things, and I try to help them out. Now, I find out that the buggy I was going to is no longer there and no bargains. The employees I see all the time is friendly and Mike at the store I...

Family Dollar Rude behavior from management

On August 16, 2021 at about 1:10 pm - 1:25 pm I was embarrassed by the manager of the store. I was on line. I allowed a lady with a baby go in front of me. The manager started calling people from the line. She took everyone until it got to me. I thought I was next. When she finished with the customer she was about to take the next person when I came up. I apologized to the woman in saying "I'm sorry, I hope you don't think I skipped you". Woman didn't say anything. In fact, earlier when I first came in. I helped her retrieve 2 dawn detergents because there was so much clutter she couldn't get to it.
The manager began to yell and embarrass me without finding out the truth first. I was so embarrassed, I wanted to cry.
I work in the area in a professional environment. I am well respected and dignified. I felt there was no cause for the embarrassment.
I suggest to review the camera at that time to see if my story is true.
I would like an apology and encourage managers to take sensitivity classes.
I will not go back there till I get the apology. I also am encouraging my friends and family not to go there until I do.
This means a lot to me.

Family Dollar Faulty card reader on register number one at the Family Dollar store on US hwy 550 in Cuba, NM

For the last 18 months the card reader on register one which is used the most does not work and ends up taking at least 5 to 8 minutes per transaction after trying all methods with the card reader. Dollar General just moved in about a half a mile from this Family Dollar location. I see a lot less customers at the Family Dollar now Dash The problem with the card reader is it just doesn't work! There are two other registers that are hardly ever ever used why can't they switch the card reader from register one and put it on register three? This is the most frustrating thing I have ever seen go on for such a long period of time without being addressed by the management or the corporation. It's absolutely ridiculous to add so much transaction time to every orderThat has a card! It's absolutely ridiculous and frustrating and if it's not fixed soon there will be a lot less customers at the Family Dollar with the dollar general having all of its registers and card readers working just fine.

Desired outcome: Fix the stupid card reader on register one! Simple fix!

Family Dollar The store

I am a customer who frequents this store at least 2 to 3 times per week. It is is cooler outside and it's 94° here. It is inhumane to expect these workers to work in those conditions. There is absolutely no reason they should have to work with no air at all! All of the chocolate candy is melted and the workers look like they have been in a pool. The customers walk in and run to grab something and do not actually shop. Some walked in a turned right around. Please do better! Store number 00283 Rome, Georgia

Family Dollar Employee

Today 8/8/2021 at your store located at Third Street Elizabeth NJ 07206 I feel I was subjected to Racism! Your employee by the name of Ruth whom is an Assistant Manager at this location refused to let my 5 year old Grand daughter use the Facililty restroom. Other employees were willing to let my Grand daughter use the restroom, but it was up to Ruth whom denied her. My grand daughter was explaining that she couldnt hold it and once we left out your store my grand daughter urinated and did number 2 on herself and was HUMILIATED! I had to take her clothes off and wrap a sheet around her that was in my car until we reached home. Ruth was very disrespectful arguing back and forth with me as well as stating SHE DONT CARE who I call because I let her know I was going to reach out to the Corporate office. Another employee gave me the number to make the complaint because they agreed it was wrong to do a CHILD like that. I'm a LOYAL shopper at this location, but I will NEVER return to this GHETTO location. I will also post on all my Social Media accounts about this terrible experience. My GRAND DAUGHTER is so EMBARRASSED and just keep saying "WHY IS THE LADY SO MEAN" This is one of the WORST experiences I've had in my LIFE. RACISM IN YOUR COMPANY IS REAL!

Desired outcome: FIRE RUTH, TEACH EMPLOYEES TO BE CONSIDERATE...

Family Dollar general complaint about merchandise packed at warehouse.

My complaint is not about the store where I live. My complaint is about the fact that every piece of merchandise, including loaves of bread, are contaminated with artificial fragrances. Unscented toilet paper stinks to high heaven of heavily scented laundry detergent! Food needs to be packed separately before being shipped. The chemicals leak through the plastic bag that contains the bread. For person highly sensitive to artificial scents and other chemicals, this is very bad. I like my neighborhood store and the people that work there. It is whoever does the picking and packing at your warehouse that is the problem. I will no longer shop at my local Family Dollar because of this problem! Again, it is not the store or the people that cause this problem! Thank you.

Desired outcome: Please evaluate the packing process at your warehouses. Pack food separately. Pack baking soda separately. Pack unscented laundry and paper products separately.

I arrived to the Gunnison, utah Family Dollar at 9:54 PM approximately minutes before they were to close at 10:00 PM. The entrance door would not open and an employee was standing there daid the store is closed so I asked for her manager. A female who claimed to be management came to the door and said it's two minutes before we close and we are closed out of out tills. I said I need 2 things please and she said no. I asked for her name and she said it was Kasie not sure if the correct spelling.
I just didn't understand why she was saying the store was closed before it was to be closed.

Desired outcome: I just needed creamer and milk for the morning and drove all the way to the store believing it would be open until 10PM so if the store is not going to be open until then please just say so.

One of the store managers "Jo" is the absolute rudest individual I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. She wasn't wearing a mask as mandated for employees on the family dollar website. Shes supposed to greet each customer and provide the customer experience I know family dollar and its officers expect of its employees, instead shes a judgmental ...

Today at the above location an employee that stands at the front door and does not greet people as they come in. Her name begins with a "K". As I got in my car she left her post in the store. She walked up behind me while I was sitting in my car and came outside, picked some trash up off the ground, threw it inside my open car window and hit me in the face...
