My name is Angelica and I am a former employee of the family dollar store 12302 in Arlington, Texas. I would like to leave a complaint because I'm hearing that even after leaving this store, these events keep happening.
When I was employed there, we were never allowed to call in, not even in real emergencies. One time I woke up with severe migraines and I tried to call in the morning before my night shift. The response that I was met with was "Take an Advil I need you here." It happened again when I was at a doctor and I even had a doctor's note when I told him I had to go to a hospital so I had to call in. The only sympathy response that I got was bring in hospital documentation. Myself and many other employees have had countless repetitions of similar incidents. Another issue that needs to be brought up is that I have never been told the door code to the office as a cashier, as I understand it is for managers. Then I learned that despite the already obvious favoritism towards the new manager named Michael, I learned that Michael let another cashier know the door code, and the store manager just swept it under the rug. Another instance of proof of how loosely the store manager operates is him turning a blind eye to the chain of command. I understood my place as a cashier. However, when I was there (and apparently still), a new cashier by the name of Willie (who is from another store and demoted from an AM to cashier), constantly tries to overstep boundaries. She walks around and still tries to tell everybody how to run the store, even the AMs, and even carries the keys and opens drop boxes.
These are just a few examples of what goes on within this store.
My main point is that the store manager Faron does nothing and none of us have any faith in him and he needs to be removed as a store manager.
