Went into my local family dollar like I do every few days to get some quick things. Was told my children had to either wait outside or leave their backpacks outside since they don't want thieves in their store. My daughter shouldn't be called thief as she's never stolen anything and was just with me after school. I also should not be told that simply...

My boyfriend purchased some Tylenol cold & flu medicine Wednesday night. I tried returning the unopened' unused product with my reciept Thursday morning only to be told they do not accept returns on over the counter medications. I went onto the web and made sure there was nothing in the fine print about OTC drugs and there isnt. This store just refuses to allow me to return it.

I visited this store Tuesday October 22, 2019 around 5pm. While standing in line waiting to checkout, I noticed the line was getting rather long. There was only 1 young man on the register checking out customers while 2 other employees just stood at an open register having a long conversation. This conversation went on and on while they ignored the long...

As an proud employee of Family Dollar I have a compliant that I feel needs to be addressed via online complaint due to its sensitive nature. The store manager has a demeanor that has been causing a hostile work environment, whether it be her negative, nonconstructive, and biased statement towards associates, or the fact that only a select few associates are...

On Oct. 21, 2019 at 7:50 pm I needed to return a telephone that I had purchased at another Family Dollar store. It was the same day with everything still in the box along with the receipt. However, due to me being in the area on Dixie Hwy I stopped by a Family Dollar store located at 2501 Dixie Hwy which a heavy set black man with a cap on his head standing...

Family Dollar store location in fort pierce florida off old us highway 1.

Im complaining about the management there his name is Marcus he had me do the hire application once completed he told me to come to work on Wednesday well I did but was sent home because his manager had to do another form on me and it said my identity couldnt be confirmed and It wouldn't let them call the number. So the next day I went back to family dollar to ask Marcus how long will it take for him to find out whats going on well he seemed very irritated when I asked him. He said do u see all this stuff I have to work it so when I get my job done and if I get anytime to call the number I will but the way it say it he come off very Rude. I haven't even started working there yet he has my phone number and still hasnt called to let me know anything its been 2 weeks or a bit longer now. And they just keep hiring more and more people. Well when Marcus had done my hiring paper work he was talking to another employee about weed etc and he even told me he smokes it because it helps with stress. Well u can smell it on them if they get close to u. And when u are trying to check out there's not always a cashier behinfld the counter they really need help and a better hiring manager that has respect and cares about his current employees and his new ones because its like hes very careless honestly he has my phone number and hasnt even kepted me updated or anything its sad. Because I was told I can't work until the verification identity is verified and mine kepted saying denied unverified and they are the only ways that can call the number to find out whats going on.

Today at roughly 2pm I was in my neighborhood store doing my usual shopping. Nothing out of the ordinary. I finished my shopping and got to the cashier (Bridgett) as I started to put my things on the counter she stated to me in front of other people that myself and service dog are not allowed in the store while he is not in his vest. I kindly told her that...

I came in this evening to have my daughter by me cigarettes and she is 18 was born before August 31, 2001. They refused to sell them to here because they said she had to be 21. She even pointed out the sign that they have and it states she can buy them as long as she was born before then. I have a very big problem with this as I spend a lot of money with y'all.

I have visited and shopped many many family dollar stores, I have even thought about applying to work at a family dollar store, and travel around to ones who need help, but quite frankly, it's real embarrassing enough and frustrating because I go into this family dollar, and it was the worst!!! There was hardly anything on the shelf's, sooo many product...

On the night of October 17th, I took my son to the family dollar to spend his money that he earned. He wanted to purchase an Itunes card. When I get there, I noticed my brother and his wife standing outside talking (his wife works there). So I didn't say anything, we processed to walk into the store. He purchases his card and we go to leave. As I'm walking...

Family Dollar discrimination

On October 5, 2019 we had a grand opening at our Neely Rd. store in Memphis TN. My district manager placed a "TIP JAR" out for the customers that wanted food. She also did this at two other grand openings prior to this incident. Yesterday she calls to fire me. She claims that the prize my husband won at the grand opening was against policy. But, my coworker's wife also won a prize. Only the devil would stand behind a decision so unethically. My co-worker wasn't fired. And isn't the DM taking tips from the costumers against policy? I haven't been contacted by anyone about this immoral termination. I have witnesses and everything was visible of the camera.
