Family Dollar customer service

I went to the family dollar last night around 4-5pm and noticed that the cashier, unknown name, had her child in the store with her behind the counter. To my unstanding, any employer that has employees is not aloud to have their children in the store while they are working. Shouldn't employees have proper child care for their children while at work? Not only that, she was eating something while checking out customers. I'm sorry, but i wouldn't want to see you chewing and seeing your food being chomped in front of me. That's not customer service if your feeding yourself while checking out customers. That's what breaks and lunch breaks are for. Maybe they need to retrain the employer and provide her with proper customer service skills and to say hi and thank you for shopping at family dollar. Because I was greeted at all, and that's rude..

First off this store is the trashiest store I think I've been in. There are always piles of boxes and inventory blocking the aisles and everything is always a mess. What I have a problem with is that they have a hand written note on the door that says no bags and no hoodies in the store due to high theft. I do not have a car and have to walk my grocerie...

I had been with the company for 5 months at the time of my WRONGFUL TERMINATION. During the termination interview they tried to ask me question in a position where I would voluntarily tell them things that I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF that may have been happening while on the clock. Their 1st story was I KNOWINGLY RUNG UP MY COWORKERS BUT DIDN'T SCAN ALL OF THEIR...

Family Dollar blocked aisles

Almost every aisle was blocked with cartons of mdse., carts with mdse, and empty boxes. Impossible to get thru the aisles or find product on the shelf. The whole place was a mess. Employees were unconcerned with moving items or themselves to help a customer access product. It is unfortunate that they are not willing to take a bit of effort and pride in the stores appearance. They would increase sales dramatically.
I will not be back.

Family Dollar false advertising

In your current ad you have used Video games on sale for $5. I went to two of your sales and the prices were being sold higher. When I spoke with the managers on duty they just said that's the price. No where in the ad does it specify what video games. I am very disappointed and frustrated that your stores are not willing to homer their sale on used Video games.

Saturday evening, November 30, 2019 I was checking out in a Kansas City, Mo Family Dollar. The (alleged) manager on duty refused to sell me a dozen eggs at the priced displayed which was $1.25. It was clearly posted on the glass and the fine print says November 2019. Even after taking her over to the area, she still refused. Said she changed the price to...

Family Dollar poor service

I went to buy the same combination of tide simply detergent and arm and hammer that I always buy. Today I went to the store and saw that the tide simply was on sale again so I tried to purchase and it rung up for $3.50 so I asked the cashier to check with me because I just saw it. Some guy named Rashad walked up to me and said no it's not and when I asked him to come check with me he said "I ain't got time for all that" how rude of a store employee. And then told me "and my name rashad if you needed to know". Like who hired this man to work with customers. Very young and very ignorant. I will not support family dollar anymore I don't care how close it is I'll take the extra drive to a competitor before I allow someone to treat me this way.

There was a really long line & one cashier. The customer being rang up kept having to have items removed from her total. This wasn't the problem. The manager started ringing the people up from THE BACK of the line without regard to the people who had been waiting throughout the whole interaction with the lady who didn't have enough money to pay for her things.

I entered the store with the intention on searching for Christmas lights. I walked up to the 1st Family Dollar employee I seen and from her poorly written name tag I made out the name Joanne. I said hello how are you today and her reply was "disgusted that I'm talking to you." That was super rude and unprofessional. And for that i don't even wish to return to family dollar.

Family Dollar rude employee

Store manager Jerell of Wadesboro N.C. is very rude on multiple occasions. But today Jerell made my shopping experience very unpleasant. As I were shopping for my last minute thanksgiving items the employee pass by me several times handling stock and never acknowledged me as a customer shopping. He did not use any polite manners as he passed while I was shopping. Then the employee stormed through the aisle with a box and hit me with it as I tried to move quickly out of his way. The employee did not say excuse me nor sorry. I'm extremely upset to have to deal with that type of behavior as a paying customer. The employee made me so upset that I forgot the main items I came for. I would like the employee Jerrell to be talked to about proper customer service and manners.
