The store is poorly stocked. There are a lot of empty shelf's especially the water and soda. Most of the time I go there to buy anything I have to go to another store because the shelf is empty. Also, a lot of the packaging is destroyed or dirty. The $1 box of honeybuns were all smashed, the juice jugs were all smashed, the pop cartons were filthy and falling apart.

Family Dollar everything

The store was a disaster on Saturday the 26th! Starts when me & my son step in the store, not one cart was available for customer use, and I went there to buy heavy bottles of bleach, ect... Then the clearance area is just a pile of crap, and if you take the time to dig you find most things are Not priced at all. I found 2 items I thought were worth buying, both being priced at.50 cents each. I'm walking through the store arms full & seeing where all the carts are, the employees are using them for inventory. With arms full, wanting to shop more, but one of the clearance items was a spray that was leaking down my arm. So off to check out. Watching closley to see I got the clearance prices, sure enough, they rung up full price. One item was a small note book, with a grease stain on the back cardboard, and the cashier tells me the original price was $2.? so no way was it.50 cents & the leaking spray cleaner? Originally $4.? so again no clearance. Needless to say, it was the worst Family Dollar Store experience I've ever encountered, and not sure I will be back anytime soon, at least not the Penn Ave Store. This is not my first complaint of this store, and the way things have been looks like it won't be the last.

I purchased a bag of Caramel M &M's and could not believe that they were so badly crushed and broken. I buy at least 6 to 8 bags a week, I love them, I was extremely upset and you should know that it's a reflection on your company that this establishment would sell them like this. I took photos of the candy and the receipt from where I purchased them. I obviously will not eat this bag, I am definitely throwing them in the trash.

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.

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.
