Family Dollar fake money

Ladyredpoughcounterfeit alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Beware of counterfeit money coming from family dollar on5540 moncrief rd jacksonville, fl and their rude employees! Found out last night the cashier gave me fake money when used my atm card and got cash back... The person I gave the money to called me twice while was in church. So after service, he said he went to two stores with the money and they said it is fake! I called fd, they told me to come up there with receipt and the money. Although I didn't have the money at the time, they told me, no problem. By then they had locked the door and was counting the safe. So I was told just bring it back in the morning so the manager could run the tape. So I get the money back this morning, get at store before they opened. The manage tells me to stand there while she run the tape, while the line builds up and the other cashier that was there last claims she was not on the clock, yet proceeds to tell another customer why the manager was running the tape. The unconcerned manager comes back up and said, there is nothing she could do! Had I came right back in last night, they could have resolved the issue. That is my fault for not checking.. So I called for a cop 👮 to make a report, waited a hour none came. This is moncrief right! I called cooperate for fm and was placed on hold forever. So i've been had! Still pissed I left and went to work. Please beware of your change and cash back it's a mean world out here🤔

Family Dollar the cleanliness

Store number
3377 midland store
Fort smith arkansas

I go into the store a couple of times a week to see what new items are in the store as family dollar is one of my favorites.

Anyways this store is never clean. People trip over boxes, there is always things in the isle, this has been brough to the store managers attention (louis) he says he will take care of it. He never does
The shelves are extremely dirty. The store is never recovered. Spiderwebs everywhere and I feel this store is a disgrace to family dollar

Family Dollar I am complaining about customer service and about how dirty store was

I has the very unpleasant experience in Family Dollar Store licated in Phoenix Arizona on 32nd Street and Greenway Road. First the conditional of the store was filthy and dangerous. The was freight all over the store. Then I was rung up by manager Blanca and during the entire time she was doing my purchase she never said a word to me however she did speak to several Hispanic customers going in and out of the store. What kind of manager is that? We dont have to be friends but i expect to at least be told what my totals is. This is not the first time. I. Am going to The Better Business Bureau next.

Family Dollar service

I had applied at the family dollar in my home town cloquet, mn. They were low on people and the manager promised me a job. Then after a month of waiting a daughter of a manager of another store got the job before me and then the newer manger at the store i applied at was telling me since they are moving stores that im out of a job and told another person asking about putting an application in that they arent gonna get a job at this location. But the manager that told me that sits outside of the store and smokes cigarettes while there are customers in store and also her girlfriend works there and when they work together they both sit outside and smoke or will sit and make out while customers are in store. And there service isnt always nice. They will sit and finish their cigarettes while you are standing at the counter waiting to check out. I am still waiting to hear back about the job.

Family Dollar I am complaining about a manager at 5958 old troy pike huber heights ohio 45424

I am laschell Conner husband, me and Mark had a dispute about church, and it turned into a argument, after that he stated that he could take me away from my wife, that is when it got heated, I got upset real bad, and started cursing him out, I went outside to cool off, he followed me outside to tell me that if I don't go out with him he was going to call and have me put out the store, from the general manager Tom! Monday night I was going home with my wife, and we stopped at the store, I had her go in and purchase a toy for my granddaughter, I stayed in the car, he was still upset so he decided to call and say I was working there, but we was at the hospital with my mother the whole day, I want to meet with the head of the stores to file a big complaint on him for pushing his sexual tension and lifestyle towards me, and I don't go that way!

Family Dollar racism!

The store located at Robinsonville, Ms. has serious racism problems! I will not go to any more Family Dollar stores if customer service does not contact me back. A tore package of cookies became a personal issue for the black woman who was at the register when i asked to exchange the cookies for another pack because it was torn. She looked at me with hateful attitude and said your receipt shows you were in here 10 minutes ago and that is too long! OMG she wanted to kick me out of store! I am a white 62 year old woman and never seen such racism in another store like this before. Our family has been in this store several times and no other store personnel has been rude to us in any way, but this woman has a problem and corporate office needs to address this asap!

It's not racism, it is loss prevention. How did you not notice the package was torn before purchasing?

That's not racism, it's someone trying to prevent the store from being ripped off. Get over yourself. And it's torn, not tore, you uneducated illiterate freak.

Family Dollar manager

On 9/24/18 I was in the location (store #7801) and although I intended to make a purchase, the store was very cluttered and when I went to purchase Simply Orange juice, it was expired ot had a sell by date of 8/28/18.I looked at everything in the store then proceeded to leave, without making a purchase. I was followed out by the store manager Tryone Brown and when I asked him what the issue was he stated that "he caught me trying to steal " .By this time im in my vehicle and hes attempting to obtain the plate number.Since I fully aware that I didn't commit, or attempt to commit a crime, I give my full cooperation to the mis understanding and I go back on the strore to allow Tryone to check me, my purse, or my vehicle. Tyrone was so irate and rude also very sure that he caught me trying to steal that he insisted on calling the authorities. I gladly wait, and he stated clearly on the 911 call that he caught me trying to steal and that I was irate.Once the police arrived, Tyrone stated to an officer that he Never said anything to me inside of the store. Tyrone said to myself and authorities snd myself that he caught me trying to steal, and had me trespassed all over his assumption. He never had any interaction with me while I was in the store except when he nearly ran into me and said excuse me. He never once asked if I needed help at all.Id like immediate contact regarding this matter and id like for the tape of my entire visit to be reviewed by the proper management staff to see where I jad suspicious behavior. There needs to be an apology and some re training, im also contacting my attorney.

Family Dollar bad customer service

Today I went to family Dollar and the cashier was very rude. I misplaced an item he got out from register and went to snatch the shirt and placed it back where it belonged with a loud sight right after. I bought bras and panties.
The bras did not fit so I wanted to exchanged them I went back and there was a lady as a cashier. She didn't even let me explain when I bought the bras or anything. As soon as she saw me pulling them out the bag she said "we don't exchange bras or panties". I tried to explain to her that I had just purchased them but she repeated herself twice. She then rolled her eyes and started talking to her co-worker. I did not know I couldn't exchange bras but I would've understood if she explained to me or told me in a different manner. The workers there are very disrespectful, always on their phone and have a lot of attitude when helping customers.

Family Dollar fall in store

Hello, on Friday September 21, 2018 my famly and I were shopping at your family dollar location 840 S. Alma School rd Mesa Az 85210 my 13 year old son slipped and fell while pushing a shopping cart due to the Pepsi cooler leaking water. My husband informed the cashier working that our son fell due to water being on the floor (no caution sign was up) the cashier told my husband they were aware of the leak and the water and nothing else was said. I asked to speak to manager the gentleman I spoke to said he was a manager said he was aware of the leak and it was Pepsi's fault for not fixing the leak when they have told them serveral and walked away. I had to ask him to take our infor because my son hurt his leg and arm due to the fall. He took my info and said he would have the store manager to contact us, I have not heard from the store manager or anyone regarding this matter. I am also having a hard time understanding why there was no caution signs up or why there was nothing to try and stop the leak from speading, since they (cashier & manager) indeed state they were both aware of the leak . I feel very as if what happened is unimportant to your company and would like some acknowledgement of this situation. Thank you for your time in this matter. My contact number is [protected] or email [protected]@yahoo.com

Family Dollar unethical behavior, harassment

On 9-22-18 at approx. 5:00 p.m. my wife was shopping at family dollar #8490 taking her time shopping and looking and the cashier approached her and stated that the cameras see everything and that she had been in the store for a long time, that if she needed to hurry and make it back to front of store so the cameras could see her insinuating that she was shoplifting. My wife offered for him to search her purse and he refused and he stated that they cant touch anyone's belongings. After being humiliated in front of other customers my wife left her buggy where it was and left the store. If this is how they are going to treat local customers in a small town that shop there often over blind spots in their camera system maybe they need a better camera setup. My wife will not be going back to this store or any other Family Dollar Store for that fact.

Family Dollar both employees at thornton ave. location

Two white ladies, one blonde with glasses, and another with red hair and glasses. Have the worse customer service and attitude. First of all, no greeting at the door. Then, I asked for help and since they were stocking, they both acted like I was such a bother. Aren't customers first? The red headed lady was so annoyed and not helpful at all, I tried to use my digitals and she denied explaining the problem and refused to sale the items. The other blonde lady acted annoyed and wasn't of much help either.

Family Dollar no restroom for customers / dirty store

I just came home from the Family Dollar Store in Mifflintown PA. I have a condition called "over active bladder" and always must seek out stores that provide customer restrooms. When I asked to use theirs, the associate told me they didn't offer any to the public! I usually shop at the Family Dollar in New Bloomfield and they have keys at the register. I thought it was a law that customers be provided with a restroom. I went to Dollar General where I walked right in, found the customer "key" hanging and was able to relieve myself and spend just over $80.00 in comfort. I will not shop at ANY Family Dollar Stores in the future until the ALL provide public restrooms.

Family Dollar very disgusting upkeep

Store #8854 Wedowee, Al. I stopped by this Family Dollar, the only one close to my home and as I got of my car, one of the employees was sitting in a lawn chair (that was for sale by the store) smoking, talking on the phone about personal information and cursing. I walked in the store and their was a sweet woman working alone. The store was pretty busy at this time. I then walked past the computer for filing an application and the workspace was disgusting and had food wrappers, schedules, and old candy paper(all from the employees) Also an applicants private information was laying on that table. I have a photo of the workspace.

There are always a variety of reasons stores open late. If the registers won't boot up you can't open. If the open mgr called out you have to get a replacement, Sounds like you needed to pay that bill when it was due.

Family Dollar charming ultra strong 24pk

My name is Dajaé Poole my phone number is([protected]

Just came home from the family dollar in west haven and purchased a 24 pk of charming ultra strong on clearence for 10.95 that was infested with bedbugs. I found myself itching like crazy and looked at my clothes and was covered with small white patches that in different spots. When I called the store to report this the man the cashed me out remember me and said all that I can do is return, I then told him my concern about my car and y would I go through the trouble of returning it to be cover again and my concerns about my car possibly being infested. I'm very curious to know if they knew if this problem and when I had asked the gentleman he replied that they no longer sale that anymore that's why it was on clearance. But they still had this same ones on the shelf with the others?

Family Dollar tammy at family dollar marietta oklahoma

I was in shop I go in there almost everyday. I was in there to buy all the headphones they had at$10 a piece for my daughters 1st grade class I was buying for kids who couldn't afford them. I was looking at them the clerk venessa who was new had about six people in line I asked her because all the others were outside smoking just if she know if they were ipad compatible about that time tammy and carrie walked in and she yelled at me telling me they didn't have the time to read the back of every device in rudest tone possible. I sat there a minute then I went and found her and yes I did something I never do I called her [censored] told her that's not how you talk to customers. Her friend carrie was trying to smoothe things over. This store, dollar general, and homeland are only three stores in out town I spend a lot of money in there. Not anymore went to dollar general guy looked at it for one second said yes should fit it not keep receipts. It was so horrible how she treated me letting the new girl inside be swamped with customers while she smokes where you come in door at but one good person vanessa when I was walking out looked at me and said i'm so sorry about that talking about the incident. She helped ease my anger. Glad though she did this dollar general had them for $5 and family dollar was $10 and I was going to buy at least 20.
