Family Dollar Atmosphere in the store

!/26/22 5:30 pm store #06278 S Memorial Dr. Greenville NC

I was in the store and as usual the store was junky with things in the aisles. This is not what I'm really upset about. I found the taste in music the workers chose to play very offensive. The music had profanity words like F_ _ K and N_ _ _ A. I was very uncomfortable, when I shop somewhere I want to be comfortable, but this store is rachet, ghetto and the workers are just as rachet and ghetto. To be honest it is the second worse Family Dollar in Greenville. Hire new workers with more professionalism about themselves.

signed: Expect more from my neighborhood store

Desired outcome: More people friendly music for everyone listening pleasure or none at all and a neater store that looks as if someone takes pride in their workplace. oh more stocked shelves

The store on Vanborn and Inkster rd needs to be looked into. Store 12298. I hears customers complain about the store manager Terri and how she is either on the computer sitting down or in her car smoking and not around when her cashier's need her. The employees would have to leave their register to go outside to get her for help and she didn't even let them...

Family Dollar The Family Dollar #6669, is closed several times!

I was wondering if you could tell me why the Family Dollar at 890 N. Lake St in Aurora, IL. 60506, store # 6669 is closed a lot of the time? I have tried going to that store 4 times in the last 3 weeks and they have been closed 3 of the times out of 4. They have been closed at 4:00 pm, it's not like it was a couple mins before closing! They last time was last week and they had a sign saying the power was not on, posted on the door, but all the lights were on, another time the sign said, Closed due to the registers not working. Do you realize how much money you are losing out on? This last time we went to Dollar General down the street and spent 131.00, which could have been spent at our store.A lot of ppl are complaining through out the neighborhood. That is not good at all! Could you give me the email address to the main office so I can let them know because something should be done about that! Thank you for your time, Marta Garcia

My email is [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: Please notify me when you can open the store at regular hours so I do not have to drive there and the store is closed. Thank you

Family Dollar Phone call

I called the Family Dollar in Madawaska Maine, to see if they happen to have any Christmas trees left, being my town Family Dollar was out of them. I did not want to drive all that way if they did not have any.

Sandy, who answered the phone said, "you just need to come in and shop." Thinking I must have misunderstood, I said " Excuse me?"

She repeated herself saying, "Ma'am, you just need to come in and shop". I replied. I live 40 minutes away, and did not want to drive there if yall did not have any, however, I'll just report you instead"

What kind of customer service is this? If this type of attitude is running your store, of course people would rather drive two hours then give this store our business. I'm honestly disgusted by the lazy attitude and rudeness presented by "Sandy"

Call was on 1122/2022 at around 11:30-11:45 call placed to the store in Madawaska Maine.

Desired outcome: Maybe I could suggest, that yall have a training on how they are to treat potential customers, and an apology number is [protected] my name is Chantal Hayes

The cashier was very rude she put my bag aside, and she didn't hand me my receipt. I had to grab it myself out of the machine. There are enough place to shop. If that is the way your people treat someone who spending their money. I will go somewhere that the cashier knows how to do their jobs.

Family Dollar Return policy

I purchased 3 floor rugs on Sat. 11/19/22 in which I paid cash for them, I discovered that the rugs were too big for the areas that I needed them for. I returned the rugs on Sun. 11/20/22 to the same store they were purchased from & was informed by the cashier, that because of the amount due $32.94, It had to be returned to me on a gift card. I was stunned & confused, I paid cash for the product & it was returned with a receipt within 24 hrs & you're telling me because it was more than $5 it had to be on a gift card, the cashier stated " This is Family Dollar's Policy, but I will verify this with my manager, per the manager, she also stated this is what Family Dollar has them doing. Why is this a policy, what is the rationale behind this, I could see if you had NO receipt & used an alternative payment method, Now I am FORCED to come back to Family Dollar & spend $32.94, where it should have been the cash back in my wallet, the rugs were a specific item that I needed in that price range, that doesn't mean there is anything else I need to spend that amount of $ on. For anyone customer or potential customer who reads this complaint, If you think you may have to return something for ANY reason & you pay CASH for it, make sure it is NOT over $5 or they will give you a GIFT CARD, Buyer Beware!

Family Dollar I am complaining about 4 female employees

I have been a customer using this store since 1992 is when I purchased my House and I have never had a problem until about 3 weeks ago. I purchased some items and as I stood in Line to Pay. There were 4 woman and 1 male employee. This one Female employee was Bragging about Her Sexual Acts with other Women and How she Drives her Female Sex Partners into Climax. She did not leave anything out from the color of Her Dildo to the length of Her tongue. I was so embarrassed all I wanted to do was get out of there. While I waited to get my purchases bagged the Male employee stated if he had sex with her one time that she would only want to have sex with men like she supposed to, He held his Fist out to me for a Fist Bump a Friendly Gesture. I bump his Fist and said You the Man as I walked to the Door the Dominant Female. Started Cursing me out Calling Me and Old Black MF how small my private parts are and she could Whoop my Old [censored]. I gave Her the finger and walked out the Door. A few Days later I came in the store to get a things and one of the woman from that Night of the first encounter serviced me as I walked out the store the Dominant Woman came out of Nowhere and started Shouting Oh You Think I am having an Identity Crises. Went back in the store and asked for the manager to place a complaint . One of the woman who was there at the first encounter said she was the manager petite build silver nose piercing. Said I had to leave . Another woman who was standing outside the store with a child came in and a feminine male came in with her . .Then a woman from the back of the store came into the situation and said she was the Manager.

I explained to the manager that I have been shopping her for close to 30 years and never had a problem. I then explained that I never said one word to your employee but she keeps approaching me with Foul abusive Language and threating to whoop Me. Look at the camera and you cansee when I came in the store and exited the Troubled Female employee was not in there or the woman with the Child.

She Told me I could not shop in the store any more.

Desired outcome: Reinstate my use of that store and have your employees respect people and not envolve the public with there personal issues

Family Dollar Unorganized store

The store in New Meadows Idaho is a joke! The freight is never on the shelves you have to go thru the boxes in the isles if you want to find something. Either you pay lousy or nobody can pass a drug test cause there is never anybody to help you. The people at the cash registers are busy on their cell phones. Get somebody in there to manage or close it down. It's a waste of time to even go in. Thank you.

Desired outcome: I would like to enjoy seeing what you have without going thru the boxes myself

Family Dollar Homedale,Id. Family Dollar store

Last time I was in this store, about 3 weeks ago. There was inventory threw out the store, that people could have gotten hurt from. This store goes through a lot of workers there. The store is a mess and needs help restructure the workers and store. Outside the store is a filthy mess. The store needs help badly. I would hate to see it close down, as I and many people like The Family Dollar.

Every time I go to Family Dollar Store number 11730 The price on the shelf is not the same as when they ring you up It's usually from 50 cents to a dollar more than what you see on the shelf I don't think that's right they need to change their prices on the shelves because you are misguiding your clients and stealing money from them this is what they call highway ride

Family Dollar Unprofessional "manager"

Visited the location on 4301 Moss St., in Lafayette, LA on 11/11/22 at 530 pm. I went to the register with my purchase of Dr. Teals 3 lb bag bath salt. The sale price indicated $5.00. Two workers were present at this time, a male worker stocking, and a female behind the counter. As I approached, the female employee acknowledged me, with a sigh, as I placed both bags on the counter. The price rang up as the regular price, of $6.15. I mentioned the sale price, and we went to the location of these items.

Upon arriving, the employee, started the sale ended yesterday, she noticed the tags, and did not remove them. She removed the one tag & we walked back up front. She asked if I still wanted the items at the current prices. I indicated , "No, I would like them for the sales price". She replied, "She's the manager & makes her own prices." She continued saying, I was a "racist [censored]!". As I was leaving, she said she doesn't serve white people in this store anyway.

The actions of the "manager" are uncalled for and unbecoming of a professional.

Desired outcome: Not my call.
