The woman running the register on 7/27/19 was very rude to my son when he went in. He asked if he could pay for his items separately and her response was " I don't care." Then, when paying for the other half of his items he had to look for the barcode on the item himself. He didn't know where it was, since he is not an employee of family dollar, as he wa...

Went in to buy a mattress cover. Clearly posted 6.25 for a queen. She charges me 10.00$ I walk back took the picture of the price posted. Nothing back there is posted 10.00$ Nothing. She said she knew it was posted wrong. Told someone to go fix it and refused to refund the difference to me. I was like are you serious?. She said she is to busy to deal with...

The Manager at the DeWitt location needs to be fired. She is by far the most unproductive, unprofessional person I've ever encountered in a retail setting. While shopping, I heard her talking to a potential employee. When she finished, she talked with current employees about her & used the "[censored]ing" word 3 times. I have had previous encounters while shopping that I've dismissed, but this one made me leave a shopping cart full of items in an ailse & exit the store. I will not be returning to that location again! Thank You.
store hours
I pulled up to this location at 9:46. An employee was guarding the "locked" door only letting people out. Upon some one coming out my daughter was let in. I sat in car directly in front of door and watch several people be turned away. Another employee came outside to retrieve carts and when she was asked were they not letting people in she stated she had too much cleaning up to do. This was approx. 5 mins to 10. As the door open and closed to let people out, profanity rang loud as the two female emplyees on duty fussed about customers behind counter when there is a "f"ing sign that says employees only.
I want use this time to speak to the dis organization of that store and since the re opening its lack of cleanliness is appauling as if it never was fully stocked or ready to receive the public. The loud inappropriate music and and the poor customer service or lack there of with the exception of one older woman who I frequently see on Sunday morning. IT IS EMBARRASSING. I have been in this community for over 13 yrs as an adult and prior grew up as a child here. To see a store i once held in high regard compared to the other 2 locations further up on Mlk in plaza and one near HE holmes i just shake my head. I have witnessed that store in its best representation of your company and it saddens me to see the state in which itvis on now. Closing 15 minutes early is lost of revenue...HOW OFTEN is this happening. That's loosly stealing. The revenue cycle here is broken.
I will continue to be as vocal as possible until change is made, I believe in your company and know that it brings value to my community..TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE...
Please resolve this matter.

the manager was harassing me and told me I couldn't get the security tag taken off or a refund without the receipt.
I went in to family dollar today after my daughter's dentist appointment. I needed to buy her some medicine for her pain. I also went in to have a security tag taken off of a dress that I had bought her. I didn't realize the cashier didn't take it off until I was getting ready to put it on my daughter. She said mommy this plastic thing is still on here. I...

I walked into the family Dollar in Rocky ford when I was stopped at the door by the manager who rudely told me to leave . I asked why and she again told me to get out her store. I was embarrassed and outraged. The reason for this I do not know. I've been a loyal customer for years until this [censored] started. She has no customer service skills and is just plain rude. I will never as long as she's working give family Dollar my business.
unethical behavior
date of incident: 07/23/19 @ 7:24 pm I was in the line which was almost to the back of the store. There was only one cashier at the counter, I asked her "is there anyone else here to help with the lines?" She said no. Then I asked, "is the manager here?" She stated she was the manager - Soling, she stated was her name. I and other customers were making...

At approximately 700pm at family dollar I purchased cigarettes and a bag of ice, the clerk was already rude, she stated the ice bend was open, so I proceeded out of the store. The ice bend was locked and I asked her to open it and she told me I was going to wait. I waited on her to check out two customers and asked her could she open it. She began cursing...

Why we can't talk to no one on the number that you have on your website .we are being made a fool of in the store and nothing is being done about.until 5 days later.come on family dollar you can do better than this.talked with manager 4 hours later and she try ed to lie for the employee until I told her I was retired but didn't tell her where.then she said you are right.I said I know I am right.
We need better customer service with you all.sometime we need to tell our side because I have heard your employees talking about people after they leave the store like they were a dog.do the number even work that you have on your website?
return policy
I purchased a bra set that included two bras. When I arrived at home I took both bras of the hanger. After doing that I realized they weren't gonna fit I did not try them and on and I still have the price tags that was on it. So my question is why can't I return and get my money back? I think if it can't be returned then it should be written somewhere on...
Read full review of Family Dollartemptations cat treats
I purchased an item on (Temptations Cat Treats) on 7/18/19.
Unfortunately, my cat did not eat these treats so I brought RN back to to store I purchased them to exchange (with a receipt) them for another brand. I was refused and told that your policy doesn't exchange opened packages.
I then, went online to confirm the store's exchange policy...Your policy does not state that items cannot be exchanged if they are opened...
This Manager, Marcy advised to call the corporate office and refused to read the policy for clarification.
It is very disappointing when I am a frequent customer and I was denied to exchange a product with a receipt within n 30 days of purchase.
I would like to be compensated for the way I was handled at this location by a manger who clearly is uninformed or simply ignorant about the exchange policy that Family Dollar has.

coupons
I use the Family Dollar app for their coupons but BUYER BEWARE... example: you have a $2 coupon for Gain detergent, a separate $2 coupon for Gain fabric softeners (liquid or sheets) .. you can only use one of the coupons. I understand that if a customer is trying to by 2/3 detergents with one coupon that is not allowed but 1 different coupon for 1 completely different item, say fabric softener, not to be allowed to use the store coupon that has been offered by the store is ridiculous! So, basically I would need to make several separate purchases just to use the offered coupons! Also, a lot of the coupons do not work! When you bring it to their attention they just shrug their shoulders! Even when you show them the coupon they just say oh well, we can't do anything about it! I was not allowed to use a total of $7 in coupons today. The $2 gain fabric softener, $2 Downey unstoppables, $2 on the cat treats and $1 on All washing detergent. Please know I only bought one of each item. I only shop here because of the savings with the store coupons. This has happened many times in the past but today I have had enough! I always have the coupons pulled up when making my choices so that I get exactly what is required to use the coupon. Also, many times there will be a price tag in the store for a product using the coupon but there will not be a coupon for that item offered in the app. All of it seems fishy, like a bait and switch scam just to get you in the store. If I'm not getting the savings offered I will just take my money elsewhere. Won't matter if I have to pay the regular price anyway!
I want to complain about a rude employee name barbara
She says she's the manager. I think you should hire a new manager for this store. She has been nothing but rude and mean to me every time I come in. I am a daily customer of this store and I'm not happy at the way she speaks to me and other customers. If you don't replace her then I'm gonna have reconsidered being a family dollar customer and take my money...

Store#10381 location 19340 W. Warren Are, 313-982-0219. I am a regular customer and I have had enough. I am as the Precinct Delegate and Community Advisory Counsel. I went to go purchase a few item's, only to discover that there where no shopping carts for use, any where in the store. Unopened Product boxes were everywhere. I spoke with the assistant manager and she said that they have only had five since January, which I find it hard to believe. I am a regular shopper ! What is going on? We love the store we need the store, but come on! It is a mess. The staff are Great! But the managers are always inexperienced. Can't keep stock. We need some corporate over sight now! Or we will be taking it your community counsel, to the City Council! Thanks for letting me speak on this issue.
