Family Dollar injured

I was shopping at the local family around the corner from my apartment and i was involved in a accident where the ceiling tile came crashing down on me. I was okay atleast I thought until I made it home. It was flooding and I had just got off of work and I was ready to go so I left, i wasnt in no pain at the time, I called the store to see if the manager made a report. She was very rude because I had told her I was okay before I left. I haven't been contacted by no one and I cannot speak to someone when I call corporate. The accident is on video

Family Dollar customer service/ filthy store

I went to purchase dog food. The shelves were empty. We found the manager and asked her if the was any in the back. She told us everything was on the floor. We walked by the back room and could clearly see thru the window a whole u boat with the dog food we needed. The whole store is filthy and very unorganized. They put clothing items in the bath and body section. Upper management needs to do something and clean up the store as well as the employees. Very disappointed!

Family Dollar alarm clock

I bought an alarm clock at FD Store, 3230 Falls Dr., Dallas, Tx 75211, on Sunday, 10-30-18. It was too difficult to for my elderly friend to figure out. I went back with my receipt, the clock packed back in box it came in, and this was paid by cash. The clerk said they were not allowed to give refunds on electronic products. I went to a Family Dollar on Cockerell Hill road, and they give me a refund with no problem. I will never go back to the Falls Drive Store. Very unprofessional woman, and other person at front walked off when the line was long.

Sisseton, SD: Tuesday, 10/2/18 I returned a battery operated wall clock, that was cracked. the cashier said he had to talk to the manager because it is suppose to be returned in 1 day. he did talk to the manager & returned my $6.00. I went shopping in the store & when I was at the check out, she was standing there & said she didn't notice it was cracked? I said I didn't notice it & was looking at the clock numbers because it was a pretty clock & when I got home I noticed it then. she then said "I don't tolerate people being rude to my employees." I said "rude? I wasn't rude, I said "there is a notice here on returns that say we have 30 days to return an item for exchange or refund." she says "well I don't like people being rude to my employees" the cashier said " no, it was not like that, I just walked back there to ask" she then said well I have a 24 hour return policy on electronics, anything with a battery is electronic" & turns & walks away. the cashier apologized to me saying "I'm sorry about that". that manager was very rude to me & didn't need to speak to me like that in front of other customers, I'm paying customer who is 65 years old that goes to that store frequently. there is another dollar store in town, I'll go there instead till this manager is gone. this store has such a big turn over all the time. all the managers I've met working there previously were ALWAYS friendly & helpful. I will let family & friends know about this person!

Family Dollar racial behavior

I just had an employee tell me after she rang me out the next time I need to take my hood off, while she was standing next to an employee with a bonnet on her head. Then employee who looks like she just got out of bed proceeds to tell me it's not racial but I know how society is and people come in there stealing. I've never been disrespected like that and frankly told them their employer is family dollar not mine I do what I want.

Family Dollar bed bugs and mice

This store has bed bugs and is never clean mice were running around happily the employees are ghetto rude and so bitter. They don't assist you with anything and they allow they're family to run out and steal inventory. I'm scared to even go shop in that store they are nonchalant and comfortable about the situation. That I addressed twice

Could someone please give me a call at12255889538 to try to rectify this situation before I go to my lawyer.
Thanks in advance

If the store is a high shrink store, any customer that carries a big purse is automatically a potential shoplifter. They don't know you. So you shouldn't take it personally that they're just doing their job.

Family Dollar cashier

At the Paw Paw Michigan store, the cashier Kimberly has been rude on multiple occasions to me and my daughter. Today, September 29, we asked her for help with checkout because we wanted to sign instead of using a pin and she was very rude about helping and did not understand that we were just asking her for help. She acted like we were in her way and she has done rude things to others also.

Family Dollar general manager anthony cates

I over heard the General manager Anthony cates. Talking to another customer about his regional manager Cris I believe he said his name was that he didn't like him. And he wanted cris to drop down and suck his [censored]! And that Anthony said he was going to continue to steal money from the company. And that Anthony boss invited him to a bucs football game and that he would never go with that fat cracker. I can't believe you all would allow your company to have a General Manager to speak loudly and carelessly about his manager and the company. I'm a regular customer and the things that he says out of his. Mouth is racist and nasty! Family Dollar u need a new General man

Family Dollar management

Shopping in your store in capon bridge wv. Son needed a ball for a project. The ball needed to be able to bounce as high as his height. My son bounced the ball to make sure it would work for his project. Feom 2 aisles over we hear someone yell "don't bounce the ball unless youre gonna buy it" I replied "we are gonna buy it" she replies "then still dont bounce the ball!"... I do not like going in this store since this woman has been working there. The times I have been here... She is always yelling from somewhere in the store at someone... So because of the reason I just stated... I replied "this is why I hate coming in this store.. She is always yelling". She replied still a few aisles away"there is another store up on the hill" she was referring to your competition of dollar general... She then muttered something else to another employee. I walked toward the aisle and said "excuse me?" no reply. I finished my shopping and headed up front and they both followed us... Rude employees and very poor customer service.

I was a assistant store manager in a major retailer for 27 years. I would never have allowed an associate to yell at a customer. They would have be disciplined and possibly terminated. To sum up, she is a poor role model for your staff as well as for the community. She should have walked over and spoke to use if she had a problem. Not yell from
A few aisles away and expect her customers to return.
Several of our neighbors and friends have also mentioned this rude woman in conversation.
Help her find a new occupation where her rudeness may better suit their business.
Thank you for the advice... We will no longer shop at the family dollar in capon bridge wv. We will drive the extra mile to dollar general for much better service and a much friendlier staff.

Family Dollar profanity against a customer

At approximately 5:45 pm a customer in front
Of me was trying to pay 2 boxes of diapers . I guess they were scanning at a different price and manager refused to sell it to the customer as it scanned . Customer asked why not ? I'm not stealing, your not volunteering it, I'm paying for it " your manager proceeded to tell her, she wasnot gonna sell bet anything and to get out . Her own son was there, the managers teenager, and he proceeded to threaten the customer and call her a [censored]ing [censored] " . The lady was in no way shape or form stealing or refusing g to pay . That teenager isn't even supposed to be there, while the manager is working . I will never shop on your store again . This store is in Laredo, Texas in the corner of Guadalupe and Seymour . God forbid that teenager is there, and threatens to kill me . Innocent bystander .

Family Dollar fake money

Ladyredpoughcounterfeit alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Beware of counterfeit money coming from family dollar on5540 moncrief rd jacksonville, fl and their rude employees! Found out last night the cashier gave me fake money when used my atm card and got cash back... The person I gave the money to called me twice while was in church. So after service, he said he went to two stores with the money and they said it is fake! I called fd, they told me to come up there with receipt and the money. Although I didn't have the money at the time, they told me, no problem. By then they had locked the door and was counting the safe. So I was told just bring it back in the morning so the manager could run the tape. So I get the money back this morning, get at store before they opened. The manage tells me to stand there while she run the tape, while the line builds up and the other cashier that was there last claims she was not on the clock, yet proceeds to tell another customer why the manager was running the tape. The unconcerned manager comes back up and said, there is nothing she could do! Had I came right back in last night, they could have resolved the issue. That is my fault for not checking.. So I called for a cop 👮 to make a report, waited a hour none came. This is moncrief right! I called cooperate for fm and was placed on hold forever. So i've been had! Still pissed I left and went to work. Please beware of your change and cash back it's a mean world out here🤔

Family Dollar I am complaining about customer service and about how dirty store was

I has the very unpleasant experience in Family Dollar Store licated in Phoenix Arizona on 32nd Street and Greenway Road. First the conditional of the store was filthy and dangerous. The was freight all over the store. Then I was rung up by manager Blanca and during the entire time she was doing my purchase she never said a word to me however she did speak to several Hispanic customers going in and out of the store. What kind of manager is that? We dont have to be friends but i expect to at least be told what my totals is. This is not the first time. I. Am going to The Better Business Bureau next.

Family Dollar service

I had applied at the family dollar in my home town cloquet, mn. They were low on people and the manager promised me a job. Then after a month of waiting a daughter of a manager of another store got the job before me and then the newer manger at the store i applied at was telling me since they are moving stores that im out of a job and told another person asking about putting an application in that they arent gonna get a job at this location. But the manager that told me that sits outside of the store and smokes cigarettes while there are customers in store and also her girlfriend works there and when they work together they both sit outside and smoke or will sit and make out while customers are in store. And there service isnt always nice. They will sit and finish their cigarettes while you are standing at the counter waiting to check out. I am still waiting to hear back about the job.
