coupons
The cashier at store #02928 I dealt with absolutely the worst customer service I have dealt with. I bought multiple items that totalled 28.00. I typed in my number for digital coupons and my 5/25 did not come off. I also bought two gillette disposable razors. For one I had a digital coupons one was a paper coupon. Before my paper coupon my total was $10 and some change. When she scanned the paper coupon it made my total go up to $12.00 I tried to get my 5/25 and my 4.00 paper coupon credit taken off she said that I could not do both. Your policy states you can use multiple coupons of the same as long as you have products that qualify for those coupons. I want this resolved and I need my money back. I asked for a manager and there was none on duty. I am almost to the point of no longer shopping with you guys. Please contact me so we can get a resolution.
stupid return policy
I bought 2 small heaters ($16.00 each) at the Family dollar store down the road from my office this morning. I brought them to the office and plugged them in and they did not work. I boxed them back up and took them back about 2 hours later and was told that I could not return them that all I could do was exchange them for the same thing. Ok if 2 of them in...

I've been in this store many of times and in many other family dollar stores but this particular time I was told I was not allowed to take my diaper bag around the store with me. It didn't sit well with me because my diaper bag alone is $60 not including everything I have in it. I was planning on getting a lump some of stuff but i ended up only getting wipes because I didn't feel comfortable leaving my bag up front with no supervision sitting in a metal chair right beside the exit door.

I sent my dyslexic cousin to the family dollar in the Bronx with an empty box of pain medicine so that he can find the right box to buy. He was called a thief and removed from the store. When I went to find out why this occurred, the manger was this sloppy ratchet rude person, the store was packed and filthy and the manager wasn't any help. I had expected...

My name is Elaine Taylor I worked at Family Dollar in September but. Because of a heart attack I could not return to work. However I have begged and begged my manager to please give me my money that I worked for. Each time I call it's the same excuse. Iam so fustrated that a manager would allow this to happen. My next step is to contact a Attorney because although the money is a small amount its mine Thank You 901_314_0441
Read full review of Family Dollarstore is not stocked properly
The store is poorly stocked. There are a lot of empty shelf's especially the water and soda. Most of the time I go there to buy anything I have to go to another store because the shelf is empty. Also, a lot of the packaging is destroyed or dirty. The $1 box of honeybuns were all smashed, the juice jugs were all smashed, the pop cartons were filthy and falling apart.

The store was a disaster on Saturday the 26th! Starts when me & my son step in the store, not one cart was available for customer use, and I went there to buy heavy bottles of bleach, ect... Then the clearance area is just a pile of crap, and if you take the time to dig you find most things are Not priced at all. I found 2 items I thought were worth buying, both being priced at.50 cents each. I'm walking through the store arms full & seeing where all the carts are, the employees are using them for inventory. With arms full, wanting to shop more, but one of the clearance items was a spray that was leaking down my arm. So off to check out. Watching closley to see I got the clearance prices, sure enough, they rung up full price. One item was a small note book, with a grease stain on the back cardboard, and the cashier tells me the original price was $2.? so no way was it.50 cents & the leaking spray cleaner? Originally $4.? so again no clearance. Needless to say, it was the worst Family Dollar Store experience I've ever encountered, and not sure I will be back anytime soon, at least not the Penn Ave Store. This is not my first complaint of this store, and the way things have been looks like it won't be the last.
caramel m&m's
I purchased a bag of Caramel M &M's and could not believe that they were so badly crushed and broken. I buy at least 6 to 8 bags a week, I love them, I was extremely upset and you should know that it's a reflection on your company that this establishment would sell them like this. I took photos of the candy and the receipt from where I purchased them. I obviously will not eat this bag, I am definitely throwing them in the trash.

Went into my local family dollar like I do every few days to get some quick things. Was told my children had to either wait outside or leave their backpacks outside since they don't want thieves in their store. My daughter shouldn't be called thief as she's never stolen anything and was just with me after school. I also should not be told that simply...

I tried returning the unopened' unused product with my reciept Thursday morning only to be told they do not accept returns on over the counter medications.

customer service
I visited this store Tuesday October 22, 2019 around 5pm. While standing in line waiting to checkout, I noticed the line was getting rather long. There was only 1 young man on the register checking out customers while 2 other employees just stood at an open register having a long conversation. This conversation went on and on while they ignored the long...

As an proud employee of Family Dollar I have a compliant that I feel needs to be addressed via online complaint due to its sensitive nature. The store manager has a demeanor that has been causing a hostile work environment, whether it be her negative, nonconstructive, and biased statement towards associates, or the fact that only a select few associates are...
