Family Dollar air wick lavender mist

On October 3 2018, I went to the family dollar store on second st in Manchester, NH. I had decided to purchase an Air Wick lavender mist setup because there was ad posted right below it stating that it was an in store sale for $5.00 regularly $10.00 with an additional smart coupon added to Make it $4.75. I checked it several times to make sure it was the right one I was picking and that I had the scent I liked. I finished shopping for about 10 more minutes and brought my things to the register. While the clerk was ringing them up I had Asked her if the coupon was showing up to which she stated no. I explained that it was posted right under the item so she asked her site Manger to check. The assistant manager came back and said nope is not on sale and again I explained in detail what the ad said and she stomped her feet, so he had at me like a child and proceeded to walk back to the area at which point I followed her to show her. Upon arrival to the area the ad was no longer posted and she was saying see there's nothing and ate you sure you weren't mistaking them to which I responded no because none of the other ads final price came to $4.75. I decided not to buy the item and when arriving back to the registers the Mgr threw some kind of paper out into a red carrier on the floor when she came back. I was made to feel like I was lying or crazy. If it was a mistake the ad being up early or late that's understandable and easy to explain but to take it down and say there was nothing there is inexcusable as well as the asst. Mgr. Stomping her feet and shaking get head to walk back to the area with me.
I've been a good customer with Family Dollar and am very insulted by this behavior. This is not the first time heyr attitude has been inappropriate. The assistant managers name is Debra Star Dustin.

Family Dollar customer service/manager

I went into the Dollar Store located on 19408 US-84 Hernandez NM 87537. I was going to get a few items for dinner after work. I got everything I needed when I went to pay I asked the woman at the register if I can get cash back.She seemed upset that I asked rolled her eyes as she scanned the rest of my items. I went to pay with my debit card.She told me I owed her a dollar. I told her it charges a dollar that I don't owe her a dollar the transaction always charges that for cash back.She told me she had to rescan my items.I asked for a manager because she had already charged my card and could not give me the cash back. She said yah there should be someone there all over ringing the bell loudly at the register angry.I was told her if she can't give me the cash back it's ok. The Manger then comes tells me that they need to rescan my items I informed him I paid he tells me u owe us a dollar.By this point I'm all ready getting fustrated especially with both of them being extremely rude. I advised him I get cash back all the time when you do debit it charges your card.He tells me if you are going to get additue get out of the store and don't come back.I wasn't even sure my money would go back on my card.I did not take my items and I was charged. I have never seen such unprofessional people especially from a so called "Manager"

Family Dollar lack of customer service

On Wednesday, October 3, 2018 @ approx. 8:05 A.M., I went into one of the Family Dollar locations @ 6337 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pa.19141. Store phone number: [protected].

The store clerk, sales associate or store manager - uncertain of the employee's title, severely lacked good customer service skills. (Caucasian woman; brown hair; wore a pony tail.)

Although she was about to approach the delivery guy, to scan some items, when I came into the store to purchase an item, she hadn't started scanning until after I approached the register. The delivery guy was polite enough to suggest to her a few times to assist me. He had approx. 10 crates of items that needed to be scanned. She mentioned "no" to him, as well as, made some type of weird sound, I am assuming, in place of saying "no"; as well. I stood there long enough to watch her scan some items, after another suggestion or 2, that he made to her to assist me & she told him "no". The end result was, she never approached the register to assist me, nor did she apologize for her inconsiderateness when I proceeded to walk out of the door. (I am assuming, but not certain, because it was a cute delivery guy.) I am a FREQUENT Family Dollar patron (not just that location), along with my children. Every time I purchase something for myself, my children are making purchases as well. She totally made me feel disrespected as a customer. I am only "1" person, how many other people is she doing that to?

I decided to go to Dollar General, where I received good customer service.

Family Dollar smell

Family Dollar on South Anthony and McKinnie in Fort Wayne IN. I really do not know if you drug test your employees, but maybe you should. Especially when you walk in the doors and you can automatically smell weed. The further you walk to the back of the store, the stronger it gets. Smoking it is one thing, but smoking it in the work place is a whole nother story.

Drug testing is recommended but not mandatory. Unfortunately if it was mandated, we'd probably lose at least half our applicants from an already small candidate pool.

Family Dollar injured

I was shopping at the local family around the corner from my apartment and i was involved in a accident where the ceiling tile came crashing down on me. I was okay atleast I thought until I made it home. It was flooding and I had just got off of work and I was ready to go so I left, i wasnt in no pain at the time, I called the store to see if the manager made a report. She was very rude because I had told her I was okay before I left. I haven't been contacted by no one and I cannot speak to someone when I call corporate. The accident is on video

Family Dollar customer service/ filthy store

I went to purchase dog food. The shelves were empty. We found the manager and asked her if the was any in the back. She told us everything was on the floor. We walked by the back room and could clearly see thru the window a whole u boat with the dog food we needed. The whole store is filthy and very unorganized. They put clothing items in the bath and body section. Upper management needs to do something and clean up the store as well as the employees. Very disappointed!

Family Dollar alarm clock

I bought an alarm clock at FD Store, 3230 Falls Dr., Dallas, Tx 75211, on Sunday, 10-30-18. It was too difficult to for my elderly friend to figure out. I went back with my receipt, the clock packed back in box it came in, and this was paid by cash. The clerk said they were not allowed to give refunds on electronic products. I went to a Family Dollar on Cockerell Hill road, and they give me a refund with no problem. I will never go back to the Falls Drive Store. Very unprofessional woman, and other person at front walked off when the line was long.

Sisseton, SD: Tuesday, 10/2/18 I returned a battery operated wall clock, that was cracked. the cashier said he had to talk to the manager because it is suppose to be returned in 1 day. he did talk to the manager & returned my $6.00. I went shopping in the store & when I was at the check out, she was standing there & said she didn't notice it was cracked? I said I didn't notice it & was looking at the clock numbers because it was a pretty clock & when I got home I noticed it then. she then said "I don't tolerate people being rude to my employees." I said "rude? I wasn't rude, I said "there is a notice here on returns that say we have 30 days to return an item for exchange or refund." she says "well I don't like people being rude to my employees" the cashier said " no, it was not like that, I just walked back there to ask" she then said well I have a 24 hour return policy on electronics, anything with a battery is electronic" & turns & walks away. the cashier apologized to me saying "I'm sorry about that". that manager was very rude to me & didn't need to speak to me like that in front of other customers, I'm paying customer who is 65 years old that goes to that store frequently. there is another dollar store in town, I'll go there instead till this manager is gone. this store has such a big turn over all the time. all the managers I've met working there previously were ALWAYS friendly & helpful. I will let family & friends know about this person!

Family Dollar racial behavior

I just had an employee tell me after she rang me out the next time I need to take my hood off, while she was standing next to an employee with a bonnet on her head. Then employee who looks like she just got out of bed proceeds to tell me it's not racial but I know how society is and people come in there stealing. I've never been disrespected like that and frankly told them their employer is family dollar not mine I do what I want.

This store has bed bugs and is never clean mice were running around happily the employees are ghetto rude and so bitter. They don't assist you with anything and they allow they're family to run out and steal inventory. I'm scared to even go shop in that store they are nonchalant and comfortable about the situation. That I addressed twice

If the store is a high shrink store, any customer that carries a big purse is automatically a potential shoplifter. They don't know you. So you shouldn't take it personally that they're just doing their job.

Family Dollar cashier

At the Paw Paw Michigan store, the cashier Kimberly has been rude on multiple occasions to me and my daughter. Today, September 29, we asked her for help with checkout because we wanted to sign instead of using a pin and she was very rude about helping and did not understand that we were just asking her for help. She acted like we were in her way and she has done rude things to others also.

Family Dollar general manager anthony cates

I over heard the General manager Anthony cates. Talking to another customer about his regional manager Cris I believe he said his name was that he didn't like him. And he wanted cris to drop down and suck his [censored]! And that Anthony said he was going to continue to steal money from the company. And that Anthony boss invited him to a bucs football game and that he would never go with that fat cracker. I can't believe you all would allow your company to have a General Manager to speak loudly and carelessly about his manager and the company. I'm a regular customer and the things that he says out of his. Mouth is racist and nasty! Family Dollar u need a new General man

Family Dollar management

Shopping in your store in capon bridge wv. Son needed a ball for a project. The ball needed to be able to bounce as high as his height. My son bounced the ball to make sure it would work for his project. Feom 2 aisles over we hear someone yell "don't bounce the ball unless youre gonna buy it" I replied "we are gonna buy it" she replies "then still dont bounce the ball!"... I do not like going in this store since this woman has been working there. The times I have been here... She is always yelling from somewhere in the store at someone... So because of the reason I just stated... I replied "this is why I hate coming in this store.. She is always yelling". She replied still a few aisles away"there is another store up on the hill" she was referring to your competition of dollar general... She then muttered something else to another employee. I walked toward the aisle and said "excuse me?" no reply. I finished my shopping and headed up front and they both followed us... Rude employees and very poor customer service.

I was a assistant store manager in a major retailer for 27 years. I would never have allowed an associate to yell at a customer. They would have be disciplined and possibly terminated. To sum up, she is a poor role model for your staff as well as for the community. She should have walked over and spoke to use if she had a problem. Not yell from
A few aisles away and expect her customers to return.
Several of our neighbors and friends have also mentioned this rude woman in conversation.
Help her find a new occupation where her rudeness may better suit their business.
Thank you for the advice... We will no longer shop at the family dollar in capon bridge wv. We will drive the extra mile to dollar general for much better service and a much friendlier staff.

Family Dollar profanity against a customer

At approximately 5:45 pm a customer in front
Of me was trying to pay 2 boxes of diapers . I guess they were scanning at a different price and manager refused to sell it to the customer as it scanned . Customer asked why not ? I'm not stealing, your not volunteering it, I'm paying for it " your manager proceeded to tell her, she wasnot gonna sell bet anything and to get out . Her own son was there, the managers teenager, and he proceeded to threaten the customer and call her a [censored]ing [censored] " . The lady was in no way shape or form stealing or refusing g to pay . That teenager isn't even supposed to be there, while the manager is working . I will never shop on your store again . This store is in Laredo, Texas in the corner of Guadalupe and Seymour . God forbid that teenager is there, and threatens to kill me . Innocent bystander .

Diapers must have scanned at a cheaper price. By law they should've let you got them.
