Family Dollar
reviews and complaints

Checking out today wouldn't accept check. Said declined. Went to bank funds are there. Went back in to pay with. Cash.
The checker said don't get sassy with me. I said. Um I didn't here's th e money
Then she rolls her eyes. Gave me a 👍 and told us to leave. Wow never been kicked outta a store. Walmart took my check. Never step foot in this one again and the manager doesn't even look like she knows what's going on.
Plus it's dark in this store most of the bulbs are burnt out.

Kinda like the checker/manager

Subject: Dissatisfied and Upset Customer

I purchased a 7" Emerson Tablet from store 4775 in Houston Texas for a x-mas present for my son. I decided before I wrapped it that I would set it up and register it, I am so glad I attempted to do so, because this product is not worth selling in any store. It run so slow until I was not able to get pass the introduction page, I returned to the store and was told by the store manager that she received an e-mail from your corp office not to give refunds or exchange for this product opened or unopened boxes and she knew that the product was not a good product. I called your corp office on yesterday, was hung on by one of your agents after on hold for 40 minutes. I called back and was transferred to a supervisor’s voicemail that has not to this day returned my call. The problem I have is that my son will be very dis pointed for x-mas and I have a product that I paid 50.00 for that is no good.

I shop at Family Dollar all the time, but this experience has caused me never shop there again and not to tell anyone else to. I want my money refunded and I will write whomever I need to, because your company is selling bad products and do not stand behind what you sell. Wal-Mart and Fry's give refunds; I wished I had gone there instead. I am very dis-pointed that this happen at Family Dollar.

My sister and I patronized the family dollar store on summit ave.In greensboro, nc on december 17th, 2016. When I approached the counter with my younger sister, the store manager, fatima, started to harass my sister. She started accusing her of stealing a honey bun when she did not steal anything. As I stand there with $50 in my hand, I asked her, "what did you say?". She responded saying, "i said, did she put that honey bun down that she had earlier?!" at this point I am embarrassed, confused and furious. I exclaimed, "ma'am, we both have college education and excellent jobs. There is no reason why any of us would steal from family dollar. " I asked for her name and she said, "fatima, do you want me to write it down for you?!" all the while, she is using a sarcastic tone and smirking. She does not have the skills and capabilities to work with the public. I have worked in retail and in loss prevention and she does not posses the mindset and temperament to accomplish the goals that i'm sure family dollar has set for her. She is losing customers because of her attitude.

On Thanksgiving Morning 2016, around 10AM, at the Family Dollar Store in Rising Star, TX. I was assaulted by the Manager for being a cop's mother.
Went to counter to pay for items when the store manger asked me if my son was now a cop here in town. I replied "yes, when he suddenly grabbed the items out of my hand, reached over the counter and shoved my buggy away from me, while he yelled that my business was not welcomed there! Stunned, I asked if he was refusing me service because my son was a cop here in town? He yelled back, "YES I AM!" I have reported him and incident to both the District Manager and our local sheriff's dept.
When he yanked the items from my hand, it resulted in a cut on my right thumb knuckle. Since the incident, I have been afraid to leave my home, when I do, I try to make sure I am not alone. I certainly don't go into that store anymore. I did have a witness step forward who gave a statement of the entire incident.
The sheriff's off has the video, conveniently with no audio, and DA's office has witness statement.
Days later, the same manager approached my landlord's wife and chastised her for renting to us.I do not understand what this man has against cops, but for him to take his hate out on me, was very hurtful, humiliating frightening to the point I can't hardly go anywhere without someone to be with me. The Eastland County Sherriff's Dept, is supposed to have copy of video. They do have pictures of my cut thumb. Also statement from witness.

while standing in line at check out there was a women in front of me, she went next to go to register 3, regester 2 was closed, register 1 was occupied, the gentlemen at register 3 was coming on to the female customer who was carrying a 33lb bag of dog food and insisted he carry it out for her but she kept refusing and he left his register following her leaving me standing in line, as he walked out he turned to me and said go to my register 3 the other gentleman will help you, I went to the register 3 and the gentlemen said to go to register 1 he cannot help me, I walked over to register 1 as I put down my merchandise the gentleman who was perusing the female walked in at looked at me and said I told you to go to register 3, i said I was told there that the register was closed and he instructed me to go to register 1, I am at register 1 now she can ring me up, she refused to check me out as she was instructed by him not to help me, and he insisted I go back over to his register or I will not be allowed to make my purchase, I told him it was obvious what his agenda was and that I will deal with it later, just ring me up, I am a customer and want to leave, with that he started screaming at me throwing up his hands asking me what I meant and made me very uncomfortable I told him I was leaving and he told me to f---king leave as I did, I told him to go F--k himself he will be reading about his deplorable behavior in writing, he said f--k you as I walked out, there are cameras everywhere in your store the incident occurred at approx.2:45 PM to 2:55 PM on Sunday 10/23/16 you can view it all and see how he totally disrespected the women he was perusing while making me wait and then disrespecting me when he returned, I am outraged at his behavior and even more embarrassed that he instructed the women at register 1 not to ring me up leaving me defenseless, this is not a person you want to be in charge of your establishment, you just lost a good customer over a person who puts himself ahead of your business to try to hook up with your customers, what a disgrace.

I bought 3 boxes of pasta salad.. Ranch and bacon flavored...7.5oz... All 3 were sku 1230389... V-62356...0 [protected] 1... I bought the first box may 25, 2016... I cooked that box of pasta, the peas were hard but I did not notice any bugs... I assumed I over cooked the pasta... I bought 2 more boxes of that same pasta mix... I cooked the pasta and saw the little tiny bugs in it... I noticed the date on the box said best by feb 26th 2016. The 3rd box also had the same bugs in the pasta bag... Today june 1st... I returned the 2 boxes and the receipt for the 1st box I cooked and ate... I threw away the 2nd receipt by mistake. Family dollar would not exchange my pasta with bugs in it for something else. The last 4 boxes that were there when I bought my 2, over the weekend, were gone. I took a suddenly salad betty crocker box up front and the cashier said no refund or exchange because I did not have the first box or the receipt for the last 2 I bought.. Now I want my money back on all 3 boxes. I don't think it is fair the boxes were out dated and still on the shelf and I bought them all in one week. I would not lie for $3.90 cent... I am tired of being ripped off like that. I would shop else where if I could... Photos would not download... Check my facebook page... April d brown yuma az

I purchased a phone from family dollar at 499 n. marion may 9th. I also purchased a 300 minute phone card. Ive only used 270 minutes and it tells me I dont have any time left. The girl working fri. morning 5/27 at 9am told me I had to have the box to get a refund. If we kept every box from the items in our house can you imagine what your house would look like. Their website says if you have the box, so apparently they arent training their employees. Ill never buy another thing from these rip-offs.

Hi I been shopping at this Family Dollar for the past 6yrs and have seen employees and managers come and go . I work hard for my money and rarely get to get off work to shop. I frequent Family Dollar for all my household needs and grocery needs too!
There is a employee named Shannon that has such a big and rude mouth, she crossed the line when she spoke to a women's husband inappropriately. The wife heard her, and she went very lady like to Shannon who was running the register and I was next in line soo I heard everything.
The lady walked up and said "excuse me, please do not talk to her husband like that, everytime he walked in she has been inappropriate, like as if she "shannon"knows them or something"
As a hard working woman, and widow I totally agree with that young couple, because like I said I have been shopping there for years and have witnessed shannon be innappropriate to other customers there too before and this morning, and that is why I had to take time outta my day too make this complaint.
Thanks for reading and I just hope this reaches the right people too where she gets terminated from there.

I went to work today instead of working on the cash register, or stocking.She had me to do the one thing that known of the other would do.Manual labor i had to clean out from under all the store shelves .I found food for people and cats and dogs that had expired in 2013.I had one bag that contained more 50-60- thing that had been stole.But like she said she was not worried about any part of the store but the front.I went over threw yesterday 1 guy opened up him so chips and was walking around the store eating them, and 7 more people got away with things to But i could not say nothing even after i was told last year by someone in human resources .Sonya got in touch with team relations.The man she talked to was named John Alverez . He was suppose to be working on with someone to get my money i missed out on because she a black lie.Another thing she did while i was out of work she gave them all raises.I worked at that store before any of the part time and full time.I should have been got a raises but i have not.Sonya got 166 hours to work with this week--41.50 is how many she is getting, 36 for Nicol, asst.manger ANGELA-32 HOURS, Stephen part time got 26.50 and part time Tabitha got 27.50.She is doing exactly what she was telling her assit.

I just went back to work in March 4 HOURS one day i did 6 test that day .Sonya had something to say about that she act like i was suppose to finish more than 25 test in one day.i take my time to make sure i don, t make no mistakes.The following week i finished more than 18 test that day in 4 hours. i knew i had to take the test but that was last week.If i am a part time worker and all i got was 3 hours.The other part time workers don, t have more experience than me.i can stock that whole store by myself plus run the cash register.But there is one very important thing that Sonya all ready said she is not worried about the rest of the store but the front .Where the cash register are i went over there yesterday i seen 8 people stealing, one just took some chips off the small rack and was eating them while walking around the store.i had been tould by someone in the head office instead of telling them about it do something.i went over to the store one evening i got me a basket went around the store and filled that basket up with empty packages where people had stolen what was in them and i took them up to the counter.While i was up at the front Steven another kiss ### i tould him not to sell that book shelf radio because that was the same one i bought before Christmas and i did not knnnnnnow it had been returned before i got it .The cd player didn, t work, it was missing parts to it like the remote.Now it is back behind the counter Sonya will end up putting it up again just to wripe somebody else off.Sonya has big anger issue 3 or more times a day she loses her temper at someone .She needs anger mangement treatment.After the way she kept on me about my pin and ignoring me when i said i was still under doctor care thats where the charge of Medical Neglect come from

i went to pick up my hours for the up incoming week and it was like i was being told your fired again .She all ready had this planned to cut my hours so low till i just give up.My hours was cut to 3 hours to give the other part time and full time workers more overtime.My god sister was in the store when she was talking about it to another employee.I did not get terminated because of Sonya the store manger lies.Then get hired back to work for nothing because that is what 3 hours aint worth the time .How is 3 hours going to help me pay my bills?Buy me food to eat, Pay my medical bills?There is only going to be enough money left to buy my smokes.

i work at store 185 in Kannapolis N.C. 28083.I have been there since June I was hired as a stocker under Brenda the manger at the time.she got fired for not giving drug test .Now the new manger Sondra King she has not done that or even mention it to any the employes .She got caught in her web of lies about why i got fired.She said it was because i didn, t come to work but was the one that tould me not to come back to work until i could remeber my password for the portal.She failed to tell me that she could or me could change it on the computer in the store.When i was stocking i did at least 5-6 u boats in a day and 3 pallets.She has lose total control of the store profits are down compared to when Brenda was manger, we never had to call in nobody from different stores to come and help stock the store.4 times she has let stock room get so filled till you barely had room to walk.Plus 3 times she has got freezer food which is suppose to be put up as soon as you get it.She have left it out more than 4 hours before she put it up.Now that me getting fired was over turned for her lieing in the first place .Tell me how is 3 hours going to pay my bills ?The other partime workers get over 20 hours a piece .Sonya is racists i learned that from the store she came from.She has got a whole list of compliants against her going all the way back to the store she came from.But i have not seen nowhere any action was taking against her.It is the same way in my probelm against her nothing was done.You all claim to be honest, fair, loyal to the employes, respect our privacy which is a lie when i talked to HR i got asked question that no one should have known.So who is leaking classified information out?This man name John of the family dollar team relationship told me that someone was working on getting me my money lost because of a lie

On January 2, 2016 I bought a tombstone supreme pizza from family dollar in utica ny on genesee St. When I got home I went to go make it for my family an the pepperoni was brown looking.. So I looked at the expiration date an it was dated august 31 2015. That's when I called the family dollar store to complain about my old expired pizza an I spoke with the manager of the store. She was extremely rude an did not know what to do about my problem an also told me they check there freezer's an stuff regularly... basically telling me theirs nothing they can do. Then when I got there the manager didn't know how to put money back on my card said she couldn't do it. An she gave a bunch of attitude about it saying she's not putting it back on the card. So an employee had then spoke up an told her that you can put money back on the card. The manager didn't want to but the little older lady working knew how she was the only one working that knew what she was doing .. That's seems the manager did nothing about it an should not have a job working with people or having another employee help her when she should be helping the employee's not the other way around. While the "manager" was outside the rest of the time I was there.. doing nothing not even her job as a manager helping a customer that did nothing wrong.

News Flash for Drug addict jobs... Rural towns... South Carolina... just because these dollar stores hire low pay individuals does not mean they should continue to hire low class citizens. Is everyone in these stores addicted to something illegal? Is there no mandatory drug testing? Is this how they can continue to pay people such low wage... Feeding off of the local poverty stricken that have no aspirations? What a good business model! Or maybe you just realized that paying them more allows more drug use that might leave them incapacitated to work frequently. Either way, Too many pot heads and meth heads work in your stores. I know because they all try to hit me up for money until payday for their next FIX.

I was in the Dollarama in Middleton Nova Scotia on Friday just before October 30, 2015 to buy Halloween make-up and decorations. After choosing the items I wanted to buy I waited while the cashier tried to sort out a problem with the lady in line in front of me as the cash register was not working. The young clerk at the register ended up calling a superior who also could not get the cash register to work no matter what was tried. By that time a line up of about five people had formed. The lady in the more superior position called someone else on her cell phone who was able to give instructions during some previous mishap(s), that person was not answering the phone. I asked (more than once) if they would take cash, the superior employee said that they could not because they would have to write it down in a journal and they could not do that. I then asked if I could leave the items I wanted to buy with them and then come back later to purchase them (there was only one item left of a couple of the things I wanted to buy and I didn't want them to end up being purchased by someone else). She said they could do that and she took the items and placed them behind the counter. I had no idea how long it would take them to fix the cash register but my feeling was it was going to take awhile. I went on my way and did other shopping etc.. I returned approximately 2 hours later, the cash register was working, I stood at the counter in order to purchase the items that were being stored and was told that "we put them back, you will have to go and find them", I said "you put them back?" and was told that yes they put them back... she said I had taken two hours and they needed the room behind the counter for supplies that had come in. Other than one decoration that was made to hang on a tree but still not that large and made of cloth material, the rest of the items were very small (Halloween make-up). I was annoyed at this but carried on my way to find the items I had been going to purchase, I did find all the items except one which was a specific kind of make-up that there had been only one left of, that item was gone, purchased by someone else. That is when I became irate and just as the superior was coming up the isle, I said to her that now the item was gone, that there had only been one and they had agreed to hold the items, I said I would return to buy them and I did return yet they had put them back. She responded by being (again) very snippy and saying that the manager had come in and needed room to put the supplies and told them to put the items they were storing for me back on the shelves. I don't necessarily believe that this was said to them but how am I to know. My items did not take up very much room behind the counter and what kind of customer consideration is that anyway? If their cash register had not been working with no apparent way for them to fix it at the time then I would have been able to purchase my items at the time, I did not get irate about that at all but I did about how I was treated when I returned to the store. All this superior employee did was talk down to me and be rude and dismissive, she said 'you can't please everyone" well I am not everyone and it was largely HER attitude that was causing me annoyance. She said I could go to the Pharmasave across the street and find the same (missing) item at similar cost, I did go across the street and found no such item. As I don't have a vehicle, I take the bus and it is a relatively small town I didn't have any other choices left. I did say before leaving that I think from now on I will go to another store like the Dollarama is Greenwood and the younger employee responded by saying 'the store in Greenwood is..." I left before she finished her sentence, perhaps the store in Greenwood is run by the same people? Needless to say I will not return to the Dollarama in Middleton ever again but I DO want the bosses of the chain to know that they have a particularly RUDE employee (whatever position she holds) in the Middleton Dollarama. All they had to do was to hold my items until I got back LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOULD.

well family dollars has done it to me again by sending someone to talk to me unexceptly .they sent this women name farah to talk to me with another women that works under her.she did nothing the whole time but ask me questions over and over in 44-5 different ways.the lady i see for therapy said it was illegal and went against my rights as being disable.so i am going to file another complaint against her and what she called me after i left the office which was stupid, and ignorent. i had my listening device on were you can be in one room and me in another and i can hear your whole conversation so i was, nt as dum as she made me out to be.the water has got to hot for Jackie and she is stepping down as district manger but she still will be held acountable for threating me and my job.you blocked my money card this happened right after Farah came.its has been 5 days and the EOC, and the LABOR BOARD said for ever day i go without my money that i am supposed to get paid or farther charges will be brought against you
