Family Dollar
reviews and complaints

It has been about two weeks ago but I have been busy with my father and have not had time to submit this I was in your store in Monticello Ms. First it was so hot in the store you could not stand to shop in it than they had a radio playing so loudly at the checkout you could not hear your self think . There is one young man in the whole store that is very polite and willing to help the rest of the store you could fire and start over . This use to be my favorite store to shop in Monticello but now I will not be back in there until I hear improvements have been made in the help and comfort of the store I am not going to shop were it is hotter inside than it is outside and my business is not appropriated

This store is a brand new on it just opened while shopping in the store I noticed that there was no employees around me and another gentleman try to check out we stood there for 20 minutes until two females walked in from outside smelling like marijuana and putting Visine in their eyes finally we were able to check out and I found it to be disgusting that anyone could walk into that store and steal while your employees are outside smoking weed and not caring about the store or as employees are presenting themselves this makes your brand look horrible and I'm pretty sure if you keep employees like this your store will be will be closing soon. Also know that half your merchandise was in boxes and not even put on the shelves and you guys have been open for over a month.

I'm currently an employee at the Family Dollar in wotcwster, Ma in 835 main street and I'm filing a complaint because of a situation where there was discrimination involved. My ID number is 1229320. My name is Keyana Owens. I've been with your company since August 23rd of this year. After the discrimination situation, Todd couture my boss for that family dollar store gave me the week off starting 9/11/17 -9/17/17 and said he would let me know my schedule for next week yesterday on Wednesday 9/13/17 but never reached out. I called multiple times and still got nothing. I got an answer once and that's when I was told I'd get a schedule for next week. I didn't want to have to post here but I'm being treated poorly and this company is unprofessional and the store itself is a health and safety hazzard.

Hello my name is Nafisa and I'm a resident of the Town of Windsor, I visited family dollar today because I needed a lock for college. I went to checkout and I was in the process of checking out. Meanwhile I was speaking to my cashier (Shannon) and I asked her who's the manager of this store and she said he's in the back. As we were speaking a Spanish short skinny lady with gold round hoops in her ears turns around gives me attitude and says to me "what is she looking for" I said to her in a kindly manner "is there a problem, I'm just speaking to her" as soon as I said that she snapped at me. She started yelling at me so loud literally in front of 4 other customers. I kindly said to her several times can you please calm down. She kept yelling. So I quickly checked out and left. As I was leaving the store I heard her cursing me out.
This short skinny Spanish lady is an employee of this local family dollar store.
Shannon saw the entire scene the owner can ask her or pull up the scene via CAMERAS.

So I called the store later on today and I asked my kind cashier Shannon did she say anything about me? She mentioned to me that the Spanish skinny lady called me a "stupid [censored]"
I can't deal with this. This is very disrespectful and I think family dollar should do something about this.

ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR EMPLOYEES TO CURSE OR SCREAM AT THEIR CUSTOMERS?

I feel harassed and UNSAFE.

I would kindly appreciate it if someone calls or emails me tomorrow at

I was in the 10219 University City Blvd. Charlotte NC store tonight around 6:15. I was trying to purchase Charmin toliet paper. I had a clipped coupon for a 4ct or larger. I had a roll of 6 ct. When I put in my phone number it would not take the $1 off. Even from the beginning the manager, Chaperrl had an attitude. She was arguing with me that she would only honor the coupon, which said 4ct or larger. She had an employee to go get a 4ct to see if it would take the $1 off of that. It did. She continued to argue with me, with an attitude, that she would only honor what the coupon stated. I pointed out again that it says 4ct or larger. She even wanted to me get her name to make sure I complained. That is the second time at the same store that the clipped coupon did not work. However, the first time the manager did honor the clipped coupons on my phone. I doubt I will go back to that store. I may even delete the app on my phone. It does not work the way it should. And then, there are employees that are not kind to the customer. I will purchase some place else that does not argue with customers and treat them with kindness.

My name is Freida, August 31, 2017 it was raining heavily and family dollars store #00075 in Lincolnton N. C has a side road which isn't very big. I've been driving through there for many years. There's no type of signs warning people of the potholes, do not enter, or enter at your own risk, etc. However, that particular day I go through and doing everything possibly to miss the potholes, due to the heaviness of the rain, not realizing how close I was and hit the pothole. I reported it to the manger on last week, but he tells me some type of story what someone else did. I didn't care about that. Well twice I mention it again. Today September 12, 2017 I told him how bad hitting the hole knocked my car out of line, which I explained before. I go to this store almost every day . He sort of makes jokes such as I'm not paying to get your car fixed. I told him I would get in touch with the cooperation. I believe family dollars should be held countable to fix my car. It weren't like this happen on purpose. If they don't want to be reliable for such responsibilities then I suggest signs to be put up. I do have a few pictures if you send me your email address. Thank you sincerely for taking this matter into account.
Sincerely, Freida Brooks 9/12/2017

While shopping this evening in your store a notice a manager correcting an employee, but the way she did it was wrong. From 2 aisles over, she was criticising everything the other employee did. So this means she is yelling across the store where everyone can hear. If she has an issue with the employees work, this should be addressed in private not where every customer in the store can witness it.

Hello today September 12, 2017 this afternoon did my shopping at the store went to cashier to check out me and my husband, somy husband was placing idems on counter talking with the cashier. And he didn't pay attention that he had put the milk on the counter twice I though I didn't buy two milks I told the cashier you know I think my husband place the milk up twice on the counter because he was talking and putting the stuff in the cart I told him to place in a shopping bag but he told me its ok it doesn't need a bag so that's how he placed twice on the counter I did charged for two but the manager was standing next to the chashier that had wrang us up and looked at the receipt and said no you were only charged for one so I appozide said I though she had wrong it up twice so sorry and walk out of store as I walked out I then looked at receipt and did see that it was wrong up twice walked back in store and let the manager know that indeed it was charged twice, so she gave me back the money for the milk andi let her it wasn't there fault it was my husband fault for not paying attention.As I was walking away she said next time I will have to watch you guys I didn't say anything, just looked like what did she just say not only that she also laughed and said maybe he is a donkey.I looked her and smiled I New what I was going to do instead of making a scene and saying something insaulting like her I was just going to make a complaint, so I called to the store and asked who could I call to talk to someone higher up than her she gave me this number [protected] to Arlington, Texas associate to Family dollar store I told her i was going to let them know about her and said Thank you and I hung up. So upset with the way I was treated.Thank you for reading my complaint.

Signs in the window saying closed register down going on for years now. Manager is just plain rude...Her name is Martha. Cheryl is the District Manager and is best Friends with Martha, this is why her store gets away with locked doors to stock store with signs stating registers down. I know of at least 10 people that refuse to step in this store as long as she is manager...Other Family Dollar store employees from other stores complaint as well to customers that is is not fair Martha can get away with what she is doing. Employees even lock the doors on customers that back their cars into the parking space...Go to google reviews and see all the bad reviews. Thank you so much. We need this store back for the community so we are all welcomed...I spend all my money now at the Dollar General right around the corner..Family Dollar is losing out. I'm going to be making a complaint to BBB and Attorney General and other websites since nothing has been done. The manager Martha is a bully and discriminates against all white men and men in general. Just plain rude and arrogant ...

This took place at store #04486. The time was 14:16:21 (2:16 P.M.).The bar code from the receipt#[protected].
First off this store management and associates are very professional except this one associate who is described as young with a terrible attitude. I walked inside no one is at the register but I can hear him on his cell 2 aisles over, I grabbed my hair color kit which is located at the front of the store, two other customers came behind me, I then rang the bell only because I was on way to work, he then came out the aisle shaking his head and mumbling something as if I wasn't suppose to ring the bell. I said nothing he rang my merchandise up and the total was $4.09 I gave him $5.10 He then open his draw and handed me a $1.00 I just stood there and he then said "What? Oh, you want your penny back damn, most people say yo, you could keep it " I then said well let me have the chance to offer it to you before you assume I'm just giving it to you. He then said " well then here i'll give you your penny "I said thanks and you don't have to talk to me like that, his response was very cold he said "men, whatever yo' aight, what ever have a good day" I said wow you shouldn't talk and try to ridicule a customer like that. I then looked and notice it all was on tape and I tried to call but the wait was to long. This not the first time someone had a incident with this same clerk.

There are bugs all over the place in the food area very unprofessional and unsanitary for a business. The store is a mess there are things all over the place under the shelves and not were they are suppose to be cold food is not in coolers they are just laying on shelves. The workers don't do anything but stand around up front and dont even try to clean up the store. The floors look like they have not been cleaned in years. Not a very good place to shop. They is only two white females in the store that I always see working and doing there best to keep the store as clean and best for people to shop. But with out a team effort the two girls can't do it on there own they are very hard working lady's and need to be told how good they are doing. The one girl has been here awhile and the other girl just came back and the store needed that. The company should be very lucky to have to hard working people with them. Hope this helps a little to try Nd get the store cleaned up or I will not be shopping here any more.

DATE OF INCIDENT: EVERYDAY

This store has gone down hill very quickly! BRING MATT BACK! Young lady DEGRADES and talks bad about other employees while customers are in the store & USES FOUL LANGUAGE. She sits at the FRONT of the store on here cell phone and you can not get any service out of her other then to take your money. She is outside alot and she can't even keep the outside neat. I am down in that store every day buying stuff and I dread going down now because I do not know if I am going to fall over the boxes or palates that are left in the middle of the floor. She complains about having to work to your customers. PLEASE BRING MATT BACK! I would love to say that young man has a purpose with your business NOT THIS YOUNG LADY!

Every time I enter the family dollar, I get harassed by the manager. He usually asks me if I am getting money back, and if I am, he says he's going to ban me. And on a separate occasion, my friend and I came into the store, getting money back, and that same employee was working the register. He complained the whole time about me getting money back, and said, "I hope you burn, "as we walked out the door. (because it was hot outside at the time). But it was still very rude, I try my hardest to avoid that store now. The employees name is David Salazar.

September 11th 2017 I went to the Family Dollar to return some headphones and it broke. when I walked in there I went up to the register and asked if I could get my money back for the headphones. I had my receipt and I have brought the headphones back also. Well as soon as I open the bag the store manager came in screaming that she was not going to return my money. She told me that she refused to take them back and while all this is going on the the person on the cash register is laughing. And I asked her what's so funny and she continued to laugh that's so you think it's as if you think it's funny that I had to lose my money and I get my items that I paid for. when I asked if the store manager for the number to the main office she refused to give it to me. Now I fear if you die if you continue to refuse me or my money I will contact the Better Business Bureau and let them know what kind of business Family Dollar's running. I didn't appreciate that all I wanted to do is get my money back that's it it was $5.41. If anyone at Family Dollar main office can contact me I would truly appreciate it. maybe I can get better results from you all that I did from a store manager and they're that employee. I've always enjoyed shopping at Family Dollar but this incident ruined it. If I if I'm going to have problems like this trying to return something that broke. I've always liked the Family Dollar for the low prices and good customer service but now I'm shocked at the back of the way I got treated. The store number is [protected] Blanco Road San Antonio Texas 78213 I wish for this matter to be taken care of as soon as possible thank you

I wanted to purchase a few items but I only had $100 and yes my ourchase was inky totaling alittle over $11. That was the inly thing I had. The register operator told me that she couldnt change. I also went to the managers office where there were 3 ppl in the office and the manager told me if I buy $50 worth of items then she could give me change. Clearly I didnt need $50 worth of items and I know sometimes its hard to change large bills but I work at wawa and there is never a problem. If someone at the register doesnt have it the manager will gladly change it for the customer. I coukd not get the items I wanted and they did not do anything to help me.

I have shopped at the family dollars store in Amelia Ohio and have found the stores digital coupon system does not work. I was in on Sunday, Sept 10th and tried using the digital couple where you buy $15.00 of P&G and you get $5.00 off. I purchased 3 bundles of Scott toilet paper and one laundry basket. The toilet paper $5.25 which put me over the $15.00. When checking out the cashier showed me where on her computer it reflected the $5.00 off but it did not come off in the total. When I questioned it they told me there was nothing they could do. When I mentioned they there was also another cashier that looked at it also. I told them I understood their position but was going to call the corp office she said good luck with that, they never fix anything. This has happened to me on four different occasions. It is become a waste of my time to shop at Family Dollar. I have also sent through e-mail the same complaint 6 months or more before on the same issue. Nothing happened. I left with a refund of money and did not buy any products. I am sure this is not what you want but shopping at Family Dollar is definitely not my favorite place to shop. I apologize for being for lengthy but I am very disappointed and frustrated. Thank you for your time.

Elephant butte new mexico new store .y'all truly need to do random drug test look at cameras.employee trying to bully me as a customer from prior issues as in 15 yrs ago then another one that she decided to have issues with me which I have changed my life and given my life to the Lord so I no longer will lower my standards she was very rude threw my change to my hand coins fell didn't count back change stared me out all the way to car with a line behind me.praise the Lord I'm no longer who I used to be, but I can say you have some very unprofessional drug users as employees and I'm sure your store will start missing stuff while they help themselves.just a heads up she has no people skills and will definitely run customers off hope y'all have a better outcome of choosing employees a little more wisely

Today I was in your Family Dollar store 12:40pm and the Tampons was placed on the shelf with the incorrect price under them. It was more then 1 box it was about 4 to 5 boxes on that shelf. I took a picture and told the manager. She told me that items was in the wrong spot and she won't honor the price of $3.25 as marked on the self. She also said the correct price was $7.00. She was very rude and nasty to me so I asked for customer service number so I can resolve this matter. I can be reached at (814)273.0778. The store# 05756

Kind Regards,
