Family Dollar
Reviews and Complaints

During my visit to Family Dollar today, I ask the clerks to help me locate the plastic spray bottles. After much consideration, the clerk at the register said they were by the yellow pole. There are several yellow poles in the large store. Most stores this size have isle numbers. The other clerk that had been standing behind the counter 30 plus minutes refuse to answer me the first time when I ask her to tell me what the register clerk stated. After asking if she found out where the bottles were she replied to me with "huh" instead of "ma'am." In addition to this attitude, there were 12 customers in line waiting for check-out. The lady with Multiple Sclerosis ask if she would open the other register. She said, "No." Apparently, she had no responsibilities at the time. It appeared that she had a problem with my skin color. I will shop at another store in Talladega or out of town.

Shopping in this store is virtually impossible due to the extreme heat in the store. The store workers are exhausted from the heat and the customers don't stay long in the store because it is just so uncomfortable to try and shop. What is wrong? Is this company so cheap that they can't afford air conditioning for the workers and the customers. This is abuse of the workers. The conditions are horrible. They are running fans behind the counter but it doesn't cool anything and it doesn't help the customer to be comfortable enough to shop in the store. What is wrong? The employees are all doing their best to make a terrible situation better but there is nothing more they can do. They are left helpless by a management that obviously just doesn't care about the customer or the employees that work for them. We are told by the employees that there is some part they have been waiting on for over a couple of months to fix the air. So what is the hold up? Nothing takes that long. One of the employees in the store has asthma and nothing has been done to accommodate her while this part is taking so long to fix the air conditioning. If this is the way that Family Dollar runs their business and treats their employees, I am not going back. It is very hot here, where I live and no one should have to work or shop under these conditions when they don't have to. This is both shameful and ridiculous.

I was falsely accused of shopping lifting. I have no record and have never ever taken anything at all. The manager Mrs Detria blatantly accused me of this and when I proved her wrong she picked up and item off the counter and accused me of taking this. I got really upset and began to inform her that I didn't appreciate being wrongly accused. At which point she informed me she didn't get paid unless she pressed charges. I waited for the police to come and she pressed charges. What the police didn't not see was her grab a bottle of something and spray it in my face. She also tried to trip me. I will be pleading not guilty and suing your company if something isn't done about this incredibly rude woman.

Always a long line.
Only one cashier but you have to wait for her to come to front
Messy messy messy.
This location is right on highway sometimes the first store our visitors see.
I have yet to ever see a manager or asst. When I ask there always gone or on break.
We have a dollar general and a Fred's I will be shopping there.
Tired of the rude and no work ethics of your store.
I have 10 brothers and sisters and lots of family so it's not just me.
Good luck!

I was the store manager for store 7694 in rushville, ne. I was trying to get the discruit manager to come to my store and help me with my employees my crew, team memebers. I did everything he said and they still won't do there job or anything in that nature. They thought they can come to work and do nothing and still get paid. The discruit manager made me feel like it was my fault that they wasn't doing anything. Made me feel low and everything. I tried my hardest. I keep the store cleaned, well organized and he made me feel this way. Telling me that he don't think I am doing my job right and that we will talk to see if I able to keep my job and etc. I felt like everything he was doing was unethical, unproffessional, discrinminated. I currently quit. I loved working for the company but if he was still going to be the discruit manager then I would no longer continue my employment there. It's been almost two weeks and when I do go in the store there is trash all over, boxes all over the floor, it's very poor managerment now. All I can say I kept that store my top propory. It was always cleaned and now it looks like crap. It wouldn;'t surprise me if that place shutdown. I have a alot of people telling me they are not going back to the store because they way it looks. One even said the way it looks now makes dollar general look good. That is bad. I would just like to say that company losted a hard working, friendly etc person.

I work in the hair store next door to family dollar im always in there shopping I noticed that the crew had gotten smaller I asked where the cashiers had gone and the manager said I dont know probaly home collecting their welfare that statement there alone makes me not want to shop there any more, being that this is a prodominately black area, and shes working in it. Every one that don't work or leave a job dont get food stamps or welfare, some one needs to check her..

family dollar in gillette wy, sunday had the computers down, and the lines way back to the wall, I tried to call both manager, and asst no anwser people were getting mad leaving ther carts full of food, still no answer .then the phone rang and the person on the line talk about the computers down and i thought he hwas going to help me no that was not the case he scam me out of a large amout of money.did not know until i came to work on monday 3.30pm and was let go. if i was proper trained this would not have happen. people out ther watch out for who you work for. not a very friendly family dollar.

I am a store employee's family member and I am in and out of the store from time to time. The store manager is not ever there because she leaves her store and her employee's so she can run around town with her new boyfriend. My family member said they was fed up with her getting paid better than anyone in the store and she is never there to do any work and that leaves one person working the entire store for the day. I think someone should check into this situation because it isn't fair to the other employees and if the manager can't do her job she needs to be replaced but she says her DM loves her and will never do anything to her. I have heard people talking in our little town and even in the family dollar store the customers are talking about how she is doing. I have swore off shopping at that store at all until they replace management. Her having sex in the stock room with delivery men and running around with her new boyfriend when she is suppose to be working and her husband is going to end up killing someone in that store over all she is doing. I hope someone thinks enough of their customers to do an investigation at the least on this store manager.
