On 18 November I walked to Family Dollar to purchase 2 ebay cards for friends. I spend alot of money there. When I got to the checkout counter everyone was acting strange. A new girl was working but they called for a regular. The store was full of people & many people were behind me. She said your daughter informed us to not sell you any gift cards. I said...

Family Dollar Manager was accusing me of stealing

I walked in to do some shopping like I always do with my purse which it shape like a small book bag and he was following me around the store then all of the sudden he said to get out of his store and said he would slap the [censored]! out of me and other stuff as well I felt threatened for life and want something done about the situation because I was trying to grab my 12ct roll of tissue that is big as day and pay for it and leave the store and on the front door it says remove hoodies or mask nothing bout a purse so are you serious I think Ricky the manager needs to be fired.

Desired outcome: He yelled at me and threatened me to put his hands on me

First of all, it's so hard to get a hold of anyone to complain to. Can't get through to anyone by calling, the email addresses I've tried so far either do not exist or cannot receive mail, and this entire situation has taken a very heavy toll on my mental health disorders. So here's what happened. This is my 4th attempt at making this complaint. My next...

If your stores are going to give discounts, please let the managers know that if it's going to be a hassle then let the customer decide if he/she wants the item. This is my second visit to another store and the manager played me for stupid, thinking I didn't know any better. Two fifty times seven is not $22.56 total. I didn't want to be involved in another...

The Manager Hilary Peterson and Assistant Manager Andrew Haney of Family Dollar in DuBois, PA both use illegal drugs heavily. I'm told that is not allowed for employees. I also contacted DM Stuart about the situation. I was friends with Hilary for about a year. We talked almost every day and enjoyed each other's company as friends. Around the beginning of...

The employees are beyond rude she refused to apply my coupon and also decided to make very rude jokes ‘ there machines are always broken they refuse to give you a receipt they always have things mark for the wrong piece and refuse to put things in the wrong area I constantly overcharged I think that’s why they refuse to give receipts ‘ it’s just beyond ridiculous how rude & unorganized they are

On 10-26-2023, I went to store #307275 at 3001 12th Ave N in response to the advertised Grand Re-Opening. I selected the sales item that I wanted. When I got the check out, the clerk keyed my items but they were ringing up at the regular price. The clerk said that the sales prices weren't showing up in the system. I stood waiting for about twenty minute...

Family Dollar Store not opening until 11 am.i

I walked to the family dollar store at 1130 N Main St Dayton Ohio this morning. I got there at 10 am. And they didn't open until 11 am. I understand there was only 1 person working and she had a truck delivery. But around 1015 another worker got there and she still didn't open. She came outside about 1030 and went and talked to someone she knew parked out there and stood and smoked. When she was done she was going back into the store and told us it would still be about 30 minutes before she opened. I'm a senior citizen and had to walk about 25 minutes to get there and had to stand around for an hour. This is unacceptable. I should get some kind of compensation for the trouble I went through. Plus you guys need to have enough employees to be able to open on time.

Desired outcome: I need some kind of compensation for my trouble and you need enough employees to be able to open on time.

Family Dollar A clothes rack fell on me

Last night I was at the family dollar store in providence RI, I was looking at the tee shirts and there was a clothing rack with clothes on it in which needed to be stocked and as I tried to move the rack which was unsteady it fell on my left leg which caused pain and discomfort I reported it to the "Manager" on duty and she shrugged her shoulders and went to go pick up the rack, never asked if I am ok, never had me fill out a report. In which I took pictures, and I am 100% sure there are cameras there. It was very unprofessional an woke up this morning with a bruise to my leg. I called the 866 number and wanted to speak with someone, and she said I need to report it on the website. As being a HR manager, I feel like this was handled inappropriately on all levels I would appreciate a call back [protected].

Thank you,

Vanessa

Desired outcome: A call back.

Family Dollar Disability discrimination

Quartzsite, AZ. Location I was refused service by employee named Wilt. I was made to disclose my disability verbally in public with others around. I then offered evidence on my phone which he refused to look at because it "is on your phone". (His words)Fully embarrassed and humiliated. Then still refused service. Disability comes in all forms and he didn't want to try to understand why my feet were bare. At the same time as Non-service animals were being allowed in the store.

Desired outcome: I would like to see this man removed from this location. Disability discrimination isn't something that is taken lightly. I've been embarrassed enough by this and would like it resolved without council.

Manager Services on Discount Taken Off at Register sign, that was a LIE. I went to Family Dollar on W. State St. Salem,Ohio and the curly, red-headed manager stated "that the 'discount taken off at register sign' was not the prices of the items that had red tags on them, she said that everything was 1/2 off of regular price...but it wasnt. There were many...

Family Dollar Smart Coupons

On 9-30-23 at the Store #11379,I had clipped the $5.00 so if a person spends over $25.00, The coupon would take $5.00 off the cost.

However this did not happen and I might add this is Not the first time this has happened to me...

On 9-30-23 I spent $29.73 and the coupon did not work. The advertisements has always states that with the $5.00 a person would get a the discount, However when I tried through the week I told that it is ONLY good on weekends.. I have been a loyal customer to the store for many, many years..

Desired outcome: Please at least give me my $5.00 discount for this last transaction.

Family Dollar Customer service

There is a Hispanic woman who is a manager I believe that seems to have a distorted view of what actual customer service is. She needs to watch her tone and overall attitude as she deals with the customers she checks out. She does not greet each and every customer as they enter the store nor does she greet all customers when they approach the check out counter she seems to pick and choose who she will be courteous too. I find that disrespectful and incredibly shameful. There is no reason not to treat all customers in a friendly respectful manner. She also needs to watch her tone of voice when she is dealing with the customers

I understand she has been with that particular location a very long time but that does not mean she should ever take the customers for granted

This has happened numerous times

She seems to work first shift during the week

This is the family dollar on Rapids Dr. In Racine, WI

Desired outcome: She needs to reprimanded retrained and monitored for her behavior

Family Dollar The manager

I visited the store in Southgate Michigan and as soon as I walked in it smelled like weed it was very pundent. I wanted to returned a item and the cashier called the manager and he said he couldn't return it with the manager which made absolutely no sense. I had my receipt as well. He told me to come back after 5:00 when the manager was there. I will not be back in that store they are very unprofessional. Not to mention the Marijuana smell.
