Poor customer service / poor product
I purchased a Family Chef Charcoal Grill 18.5in. Yesterday at or about 3:04 pm from the Family Dollar on 824 Donald Lee Hollowell, Store # 06501. Not even an hour later, I returned to the same Family Dollar, with my receipt in hand asking for a refund because I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the product. I did not use any portion of the grill and all...

I was looking for an Easter basket for my sister who was in town for my aunt's funeral. I have shopped multiple times this year with no issues. I do not wear masks. I have sinus issues that cause a lot of pain. She did not honor the exemption they would not allow me to shop in the store. How much business do you want to lose? She did offer for me to sit in...

I made a purchase at family dollar store #7146 for $114.87 and when I looked at my statement online I was charged 3 times for the one transaction! When I called the store and talked to the manager, he told me to call my bank and they'll fix it. I am beyond pleased about the whole situation and don't feel I should have to go through the hassle to fix it!

I have seen dogs in the store on more than one occasion. Store number is 02584.

I completed the application online, but the website would not allow me to access the Assessment Page. I received acknowledgement of application but no solution to accessing Assessments page of application website. I attempted numerous time but was unsuccessful. All aspects of online application were easy to follow, but the site would not allow me to proceed further.
Racist manager
I have been trying to call your corporate office for over four days now. Stayed on the phone for hours due to the high volume of calls.

The manager Tony a short guy with glasses that works at the 4609 Austin Bluffs parkway in Colorado Springs Colorado, handled a refund so unprofessionally and rude, the most terrible customer service I've ever had.

Read full review of Family DollarFamily Dollar, Lenoir, NC location
Hi, while I appreciate the Family Dollar digital coupon app, I find it extremely difficult to use at my local Family Dollar in Lenoir NC. Yesterday, Saturday 03-13-2021 i wanted to take advantage of the $5 off of $25 deal as well as a few others. I planned out my list and headed on over to shop. Upon arrival I witnessed 1 employee in the parking lot smoking marijuana with someone in a car while ahe was standing outside of the car. This employee was in a rage discussing how she had tried to quit her job at Family Dollar 3 times and she thought the third time would be the charm but no luck. She then said the last time she should have been fired but the manager just told her if she did it again she would deal with it. I brushed that off and entered the store only to find 4 employees standing by the cash register talking and laughing. The store itself smelled of marijuana, and was a complete mess. Still I was determined to get the items on my list because my family needed them. I proceeded back to the laundry detergent which was first on my list and was surprised to see empty shelves with boxes of the things I needed stacked high and no one refilling the shelves. Not once did anyone ask to assist me. feeling discouraged I left the store without 1 single purchase and went to Dollar General. I will attach pictures I snapped of what the shelves and aisles looked like. As I left the store, the 4 employees were still gathered around the cash register and the employee from outside was reentering the store. I dont foresee this location keeping enough business to stay open at that rate. After all if merchandise isnt accessible, business will be lost.
Desired outcome: Better overall experience
I find it extremely unlikely that you found a store that had 4 employees in the store and a 5th outside. Maximum I've ever seen unless they are unloading a truck is 2 employees. Chances are 3 of those people aren't employees. They were likely with McLane, Burkhardt, FritoLay, or Pepsi so not employees of the store, just delivery drivers and vendors
Animals in store
Monday, March 8, 2021 I wanted to go by the Family Dollar store today, to pick up a few items. As I turn in, there is a man putting a Jack Russel Terrier into a Family Dollar shopping cart. He walked into the store like it was normal to take a dog into a store. Very highly unsanitary and inappropriate having a dog in a shopping cart, where people put food...

I am a local resident of Columbus North Carolina and have been my entire life and have been shopping at our local Family Dollar store since it opened.
