Family Dollar — fraud & cheating!

This review was posted by

Verified customer Review updated: Feb 09, 2021

I purchased one NET10 phone for $30.00 which included 300 free airtime minutes. Subsequent/additional minutes sell at 300 minutes for $30.00. Because I receive many unsolicited phone calls, I returned to Family Dollar to purchase a second phone with a new number. The price had changed and the terms which include the words "300 minute bonus" were unclear. When I inquired, the salesclerk assured me that the 300 free minutes would automatically be added to my phone as soon as I activated it. WRONG! NET10 only gave me 10 minutes. When I tried to return the phone to Family Dollar less than 24 hours later, the manager (Locust Street store in Terre Haute Indiana) said sue us, it will cost much more for a lawyer than what you lost. I e-mailed Dollar General headquarters but received no response. They, under the circumstances just described, are no better than thieves.

this store on 228 Nagle Ave. is the worst when it comes to customer service. always empty(out of stock) at times when looking for certain items. an aisle full of boxes not opened. certain cashiers give you attitude for asking a simple question, and only cashier working on long lines taking their sweet time and holding customers up like we are on their time which they have a lack of respect for their customers. This is a poor representation of the name Family Dollar.

You no longer carry these two items in the Dahalia Road store in Pahrump, NV. I have purchased them for years and now they are no longer available. So sad that such good sellers are no longer available.

Employees are always late. This is the 4th week where there are no employees at the store when it is supposed to be open. Store is supposed to open at 8 am. It is now 822 and nobody is here.

Questions about pricing during checkout resulted in your employee arguing price with lacking knowledge. Exit blocked and your employee made fun of mylack of direction towards the exit. No reason for the piss poor lack of service by your employee. I will not hesitate advising all to avoid your stores. Store dirty and disorganized.

Attendant refused to allow customers to utilize restroom told two different stories first the key was lost and second the key was locked in the bathroom. This issue is that we were traveling through and there was no other location. I would have respected the attendant if the story didn't change.

I wanted to purchase a heater. Asked the cashier if the store has any. Each cashier asked the other if they had any. Neither wanted to check. One cashier asked the other to check. The cashier replied, Hell no. However one decided to check and I was able to purchase the heater. Customer Service goes a long way. I won't return to this location.

NO PRICE SCANNERS IN STORE OR ON WEBSITE (Carencro, Louisiana )
FAMILY DOLLAR should add a price scanner on the FAMILY DOLLAR website since there is no scanners in the store and only two employees.
Check out Walmart and dollar generals website with a price scanner.

This customer service in the location is horrible!!! The store doesn't have any shopping carts for customers to use. When you an employee as to why there are no more shopping carts they ignore you or say " I don't know" They blame it on the customers for taking the carts outside the store.

Recently you terminated one of the most pleasant, friendly hard working employees I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, her name was Angel. I feel your store will most certainly suffer in sales due to her no longer being employeed there. I still shop at your store but prefer else where unless need be.

This store has a RACIST STORE MANAGER. She is constantly making fun of pretty much anyone who walks into the store, especially Mexicans calling them "f---ing re---ds". She racially profiles people and follows them through the store. She's constantly cussing and especially in front of children!! ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! I will NEVER return to here!

I drove 20 minutes to the family dollar closest to me and the doors were locked when I arrived at 9:35pm. The guy sitting at the register signaled to me that they were closed, although it appeared he was just sitting there reading a magazine. Someone also pulled up after me and tried to get it to no prevail. They then cut off the lights at 9:41pm.

This location closes whenever they want to. It is 9:35 PM eastern standard time. The store is supposed to close 10 PM according to the posted hrs. I called from outside the store because I could see the staff and was told they closed at 9:30 because they didnt have any customers lately. This is the closest store to me but it makes me go elsewhere.
