Family Dollar Fan above front door of store in Warrior Alabama January 3, 2024

Most companies are in business to draw customers into their stores, not run customers away. I do not see the need for this strong blowing fan at the front of your store in Warrior, Alabama, As you open the doo it almost blows you back out the door. I spend quality time fixing my hair. I do not want my hair blow off my head when I enter a store. I asked if there had been complaints about this fan...they said a lot of people have been complaining. I just drove out of my way 25 miles to the Family Dollar/Dollar Tree in Hayden, they have no blasting fan above their front door. People told me they do not go to the Warrior Family Dollar/Dollar Tree because of this major issue. Removing the fan or unplugging the fan is such a simple fix, but that's your call, maybe you don't really want the business.

Desired outcome: Remove or unplug fan above front door of Warrio , Alabama Family Dollar/Dollar Tree

Family Dollar Daylight light bulb

I purchased a four pack of daylight led light bulbs and other items, but I was overcharged $6.00 on the light bulbs my total charge on the light bulbs were $12.00 however when I went back to reprice that same item it was scanned at $5.25 when I confronted her about the error all she did is smile with no explanation. So, to cover herself she had a male employee to change the price even though it was scanned at $5.25. So, I took a loss. The store is located at 3631 sullivant ave columbus ohio. Purchased on dec 30th 2023, the store number is 02007, the receipt number [protected]

Claimed loss: $6.00

Desired outcome: woul like the money that was over charged to me to be returned.

Family Dollar Employee attitude

I had asked an associate to look up the price of a pack of paper plates ( no price on them). She looked at me like I had asked her to run a marathon. She never said a word. I thanked her. She never replied ! I finally said , " Look, I'm going up front to check out anyway. Do u want me to just ask the associate up front?" She handed them back and said, " Yeah".

This is not the first time people have dealt with this manager. Yes , she's a manager.

Dunn NC

Claimed loss: Respect

Desired outcome: Find a new , polite manager

Please fire or transfer Andrew Haney from the DuBois, PA store. He has messaged me physically threatening me and thinks he can ban me from the store over a personal matter I have with the Manager which whom he is goes out with. He was going to call the police last night when I was shopping in there, but the manager stopped him. The manager and I don't speak to each other anymore.

A several months ago I purchased a box of cereal (Post honey Oh's) at The Family Dollar store located at 517 Jefferson Davis highway in Fredericksburg, Va. Upon opening the box I noticed an odd, strong almost perfume like smell. To me, it smelled a bit like fabric softener or maybe an air freshener. Not something that should be in cereal. At least a week...

Many times, There has been different issues with one employee named alisha Jude, who I believe is the assistant manager, she has an obvious drug problem. She is extremely rude and hateful to customers, and it's gotten to the point that myself and my family will not stop at that store if she is working. She is usually always on her phone while the other...

Another terrible experience ordering from the Family Dollar website. It takes two weeks to get the order to the store and another four days for me to get the email that I need to pick my order up. Then, it so hard for the workers to figure out how to enter it into the register. Today after several attempts, it came up that I had to call customer support! I...

Family Dollar Family Chef 7 Piece Cookware

I purchased the above item mid July of this year at a Family Dollar in Cleveland, Tennesse.

All of them are unusable. They are rusted. The coating inside each pot has curled and crumbled after one use. I use plastic utensils when cooking those types of cookware to avoid damage.

I was trying to connect with the manufacturer but there are no phone numbers or emails listed on the box.

Desired outcome: I am hoping for reimbursement for this purchase.

Family Dollar Store service

On November 22, 2023 I ran to my local Family Follar store for holiday items. see attachment. Note: This site will not allow photos even though the option is available.

1. One the product supply was insufficient for advertised specials. I was over charged due to the lack of supply.

2. The cashier, that claimed to be the manager refused to honor my $5.00 off coupon even when I total was over the required $25.00, my total was over $30.00.

3. I showed the clipped coupon in your app, from my phone.

4. I did not appreciate the employee's condesending attitude and her lack of willingness to help correct the errors. I also have the receipt if required.

5. I was not rude, nor did I lose my temper. I understand that it is difficult to hire competent employees.

6. Please resolve this issue, or FD has lost a loyal customer.

Mrs. G. Horne

Claimed loss: See above

Desired outcome: Refund and more employee training
