Friday, November 2019 at 8:00 pm. The cashier (supervisor) addresses me as "Baby." I asked her, "Please don't call me baby that's for my companion only." She says, "I call everybody that honey." I asked her again but she continued to insult me. I looked for the supervisor not knowing she was the person I was looking for and when I spoke to the other worker...

Family Dollar individual person

My daughter and I were shopping on 11-9-19 when the female worker was on the phone with someone. There had been a spill of some kind and was no signs up at all. We then went over the spill really not knowing it was there just saw some white powder stuff not knowing what it was. She then began to speak very rudely about us and another couple that had also crossed over it. She was just very rude in what she was saying about us on the phone to the other person. Curse words were also used. I think there should have been signs or she could have told us nicely about the spill so we would have known what was going on. I felt she was just so unhappy to be there I think people like that have no place in an environment like that! I did get her name and its Mela Martinez from the store in Levelland, Tx 79336.

I handed it to her and everything seemed like it was okay. She put my birthday in (9/18/00) and she immediately snapped and said, "I can't sell these to you." I stayed calm and asked her why...

Family Dollar bought a heater and they won't exchange no return

i bought an heater from the highland California family dollar because it was close to where we were that day and it was already open but i didn't give it a second thought because some times they get open in transit or at the store so i brought it home to my family and the whole unit of the heater gets hot to the touch and i have a 2 year old son and i was afraid he would get hurt so i took the heater back to the family dollar i brought it from and the supervisor told me that they dont do returns or exchanges on open heaters and i explained why i needed to return it and the supervisor was very rude and said she didnt care they dont returns for open i left that store very upset because being a "FAMILY" dollar it seemed like the employees didnt care so i went home thinking that i was stuck with a heater but my mother reminded me that there was an family dollar walking distances from them and they are usually pretty nice their so we took a walk there and when i got there i explained and the supervisor said that she wish she could help but since they were newly on the floor i had to wait for the store manager and i said thank you i will be back the following day for the store manager so i went back to that family dollar the next day because the supervisor told me that he was going to be there at 9 am but when got there they said that the supervisor lied because the store manager wasnt going to be there until the next day so this time instead of having to take my son walking back and forth again i called to talk to the store manager, the assistant manager left me on the phone to go get the store manager but 5 mins later the assistant manager came back on the phone telling me that she talked to the store manager and told him the whole situation and he said that he wont do the return nor the exchange because he would get an lost in the product so now i am stuck with a heater that it took dangerous for my son to use it in the house and now my whole mommy and me friends decided that even though your company is named "FAMILY" dollar you are not so family oriented and that we will explained to other friends and family why we wont shop at your company again I would like this resolved but I do love the prices you have for the stuff I need but I need to protect my family and friends thank you for letting me explain my complaint and to vent and if you please contact me if you can still help

Walk in the store and went up to ask the manager where they keep the make up and thats when i smelled a over powering smell of marijuna and it was coming from the manager. She was short around 5'5" with dark red hair. She told me where to and i just turned around walk out. I felt like how in the world is she a manager at this store. I did not feel comfortable dealing with this situation.
