This store is in my neighborhood so it's convenient. But when you look at the shelf and purchase items from the price tag on the shelves and get to the register and it's at least 75 cents to a dollar higher in price. The cashier will not honor the price. They inconvenience the customer by saying come back tomorrow when my manager is here so she can just...

Family Dollar Air conditioning

This is my second complaint, as I could not find where my first one posted. I am currently employed with Family Dollar (store 10158) and we are miserable with the heat here. At first we were told that one of the ACs were broke, but someone came and looked and nothing was wrong with it. It is my understanding that corporate controls the temperature, but I'm not so sure they realize how hot it gets here in the South. My last post someone replied to my post saying that the ceiling may need to be fixed, but there are no holes or anything where heat could enter. The door stays shut other than customers coming in and out as well. We have had many, many complaints of how hot it is in here coming from customers and staff. Please could you turn the thermostat down a few degrees. This is a multi million dollar company that I would hope would like to keep their employees comfortable as well as employed. Please take this into consideration.

Desired outcome: Turn down thermostat.

A few days ago, maybe June 17th or 18th? I gave a girl a ride to Family Dollar near me #8172 on Hwy 60 in Superior, Az. I went with the intention of buying ice cream... I've been going to this store for years since it was first there, around 10-15 years, I am 67 and have worked in Customer Service since 1984. They had a mgr there who has retired - everytime...

Family Dollar Store manager

on 6/17/23, about 5:00pm, I was told by store manager listed sale items are not acknowledged after 4:00pm the Saturday before the new sale starts on Sunday. Was told sale stickers were already removed from store. Never encountered this behavior before as a customer for many years. The manager 'Tia" was very rude. When I asked for Corporate number, she lied and said " the number on your receipt is for corporate', which is not the case. As being a Dollar General employee, customer service is number one, the disrespect and rudeness that this manager displayed is not acceptable. And of course, none of the other employees' knew a number for corporate either. This took place at 1415 E. Coldspring location. Didn't appreciate being embarrassed or treated rudely as a paying customer.

Desired outcome: Hoping I get a response back with an apology from this manager and accurate store policy information so this won't happen to me or any other customer in the future...Thanks in advance.

Family Dollar Bella 11” copper pan

The item is a clearance item. I scanned the item & it said the price was $ 4.25.

When I got to the register is rang up for $7.25. I explained that it was wrong. The cashier said “ oh I don’t know”. I asked her to take it off. She told me “ that if I didn’t have money I shouldn’t try to buy”. I told her it was a clearance item & the price was wrong. I asked if she could call the manager, she replied” there’s no manager here”. I then went to my car where I noticed another item that rang up regular price. I went back in to return it. The cashier attitude was horrible, the way she insulted me in front of other customers. I told her I would call corporate. She said she didn’t care” if I was finished I can go”

Desired outcome: This is beyond poor customer service.I just wanted the items at the clearance price.

Family Dollar Disgustingly, dirty parking lot with food and no garbage cans to be found

Every time I go to this Family Dollar, it’s disgusting. The floor seven been washed, the parking lot is disgustingly filthy. There’s food and wrappers and car parts and all kinds of debris everywhere. And there’s never any garbage cans to find. Every time I go in to the parking lot, it’s filthy. People are hanging around, begging for money, begging for food. I would think he would have cameras rolling because it is against the law to beg. At least it is in the city of Cleveland. That’s called panhandling.

Desired outcome: Cleaning the parking lot an empty garbage cans would be the solution. Nobody ever cleans the parking lot, and nobody ever empty the garbage cans. People just leave their garbage in the parking lot and nobody cares.

Family Dollar Application

Hello,

I requesting an investigation into the hiring process. I submitted my application around May 10th or May 11th. I was in the store and I was talking to Dajha Turner I was in the store and to let her know that I submitted an application for merchandising. I told her my first name, Celeste. She said she received an application with a first name that started with a "C". Then she texted me from the number [protected] on May 12th.I have been the Family Dollar many times and she has never mentioned to be about an interview. I have noticed the store has signs up needing help. It seems there is a big turnoverat this store because of her. I also see other employees from other storest putting her stock on the shelf. If you need help so much why aren't you hiring. My last time I was in the store she was on the phone talking with someone that she had to work a double shift. You need t o investigate this store I feel she is steeling time and not working.

I will be filing an EEOC complaint regarding the hiring.

I am currently an employee with Family Dollar in Mississippi. If you know the weather in MS, it is sweltering in the heat of the summer. I like my job, but as soon as I walk into the store to begin my shift, I start sweating. It is miserable. My manager thought the AC unit was broke recently, so someone came and looked at it. It was fine. It is my...

My husband was banned for allegedly stealing something, so when I go to the family dollar a couple days later the manager tells me I'm not allowed in the store. I asked her what did I do and she said your husband stole something so my boss said your not to come in the store anymore unless you just need cigarettes, but your not allowed in the store. This ha...
