Family Dollar benefits

Now they have locked my payment card so I can, t gey what little money I made last week. They also gave me an extra day next week but all that was is to see if I am still filing my complaints. The next complaint is going to be against farah on the way she had that meeting sat up, ignoring the real problems but I knew in advance she was coming so I kept my mini tape recorder going the whole time. You have had more than 5 people call you out on the way you question them you play mind games you ask a person a question one way the then you repeat the same question 2 - 3 other ways to confuse a person. My therapist said thats what you was doing just that and you should not be playing with a delicate mind. It was just a month ago that I loss all my memory and still don, t have all of it yet. So I can file a suit against farah now on those grounds my doctor said I could after the way you was questioning me. Plus one more that the labor board I could file a law suit against family dollar from the top to my district133 for blocking my funds on my pay card then canceling it

Family Dollar asst. manager used customer credit card and purchased items

I went to family dollar yesterday October 11th 2015. I purchased a Swiss ice tea and got 50.00 cash back at 4:34 pm. I dropped my card in the store, the asst manager waited until 4 hours had gone pass to use my card to purchase some things. I went back looking for my card he was acting suspicious about the entire thing. I asked him to run back the cameras. He was going to until I asked him did he mind me calling the cops, he asked me please not to call the cops, if he gave me the money would I just leave the store. The cop came nothing was settled. I received my card back but he put on gloves when my card was returned to me. He admitted to using my card this morning to the store manager.

Family Dollar unprofessionalism

As I entered Family Dollar yesterday 10/11/15 I heard loud laughter, profanity and personal information. I continued to shop (I thought it was other customers). However, I discovered the noise I heard was coming from the all black staff of Family Dollar. As I proceeded I was waited on by a young black man and I remarked to him “you guys need to be more professional.” He just ignored the remark. He stated “thank you ma’am” and I reply “you’re welcome sir.” Now I’m not sure he wasn’t trying to refer that I was too old in which I’m not, just in my late thirties. Anyway, he didn’t seem to be too concerned. As difficult as it is for young blacks to find employment I was more than concerned and out raged. I also heard several customers state they will look elsewhere to accommodate their needs. Possibly another establishment. The disheartening fact of this is it is a recurring happing at this store. I hope someone will check out this matter soon.

Family Dollar clerk attitude and lack of assistance

During my visit to Family Dollar today, I ask the clerks to help me locate the plastic spray bottles. After much consideration, the clerk at the register said they were by the yellow pole. There are several yellow poles in the large store. Most stores this size have isle numbers. The other clerk that had been standing behind the counter 30 plus minutes refuse to answer me the first time when I ask her to tell me what the register clerk stated. After asking if she found out where the bottles were she replied to me with "huh" instead of "ma'am." In addition to this attitude, there were 12 customers in line waiting for check-out. The lady with Multiple Sclerosis ask if she would open the other register. She said, "No." Apparently, she had no responsibilities at the time. It appeared that she had a problem with my skin color. I will shop at another store in Talladega or out of town.

The register rings up the Bar S smoked sausage at the cost of $5.50 per unit price but the shelf clearly reads $5.00. I told the clerk that they have not changed the cost on the shelf and I didn't want to pay $5.50. She didn't ask her manager for a cost override either. They knew I was there last week and they don't care about the consumer protection act...

Family Dollar store heat

Shopping in this store is virtually impossible due to the extreme heat in the store. The store workers are exhausted from the heat and the customers don't stay long in the store because it is just so uncomfortable to try and shop. What is wrong? Is this company so cheap that they can't afford air conditioning for the workers and the customers. This is abuse of the workers. The conditions are horrible. They are running fans behind the counter but it doesn't cool anything and it doesn't help the customer to be comfortable enough to shop in the store. What is wrong? The employees are all doing their best to make a terrible situation better but there is nothing more they can do. They are left helpless by a management that obviously just doesn't care about the customer or the employees that work for them. We are told by the employees that there is some part they have been waiting on for over a couple of months to fix the air. So what is the hold up? Nothing takes that long. One of the employees in the store has asthma and nothing has been done to accommodate her while this part is taking so long to fix the air conditioning. If this is the way that Family Dollar runs their business and treats their employees, I am not going back. It is very hot here, where I live and no one should have to work or shop under these conditions when they don't have to. This is both shameful and ridiculous.

My sister and I were charged with stealing because the manager jennifer vargas said we went down the wrong way in the store. She lied under oath in court. She only profiled us because we're black, its sad that you have to follow a store lay out in order to be an innocent shopper. Do not shop here they do not respect black shoppers or black employees~

Family Dollar Misconduct of manager

I was falsely accused of shopping lifting. I have no record and have never ever taken anything at all. The manager Mrs Detria blatantly accused me of this and when I proved her wrong she picked up and item off the counter and accused me of taking this. I got really upset and began to inform her that I didn't appreciate being wrongly accused. At which point she informed me she didn't get paid unless she pressed charges. I waited for the police to come and she pressed charges. What the police didn't not see was her grab a bottle of something and spray it in my face. She also tried to trip me. I will be pleading not guilty and suing your company if something isn't done about this incredibly rude woman.

Family Dollars Ice boxes outside for the public to purchase ice are contaminated with cricket crap and urine and who knows what else. There was a loud putrid odor coming from inside of the ice box as well inside of the store. The female workers knew of the contaminated ice but was willing to sell it to me anyway. Even a female customer in the store knew...

Family Dollar no cashiers always on break

Always a long line.
Only one cashier but you have to wait for her to come to front
Messy messy messy.
This location is right on highway sometimes the first store our visitors see.
I have yet to ever see a manager or asst. When I ask there always gone or on break.
We have a dollar general and a Fred's I will be shopping there.
Tired of the rude and no work ethics of your store.
I have 10 brothers and sisters and lots of family so it's not just me.
Good luck!

Stood in line 20 min. To find out there was only one employee in the store. The "2nd" employee was on break and not in the store. Besides being completely bad customer service, it was putting the life of the cashier in danger who was by herself and an elderly woman. The line was very long and she was doing her best.

Just think that the time you had to wait might have saved your life. What if you were supposed to be in a car wreck and having to wait saved you from it? I always try to see the positive in any negative situation. Perhaps they had a call out that day, and the two employees were left to cover the shift. Perhaps the employee who was on break was over her break and really needed it. While I see your point in the danger, there is no more danger in being alone than there is in a crowd. Just look at the shootings that occur in public places. Most, if not all, are in crowds, not solitary situations. Just be patient, and be blessed. And thank the employees who were there to help you.

The Family Dollar Store on South Taylor Road has no air conditioning. The employees just had fans, and it was extremely hot in the store. This is unhealthy for shoppers, and workers to me. The Health Department should investigate these working conditions. I was informed by an employee that the units were not working.

Was your PIN with the card? If so, then there isn't anything the store could have done to stop the transaction. If it is a credit card, report immediately to the credit card company. In either case, use of your card can be stopped instantly as soon as you make the proper report by phone.
