Family Dollar cashier bullied me and egged on a 400 pd biker chick threatening me

My 1st visit, 4075 deltona blvd. Spring Hill, fl 34606I asked a woman working there Sue, if she could check a cat laser pointer for me to make sure it worked from the sale rack, she refused by saying "I can't do that, we have cameras, it will look like im stealing it." I checked out with younger very polite girl, she put batteries in, it worked. While running my debit card, Sue kept walking back and making comments when no one was speaking to her and i was so distracted while trying to put my pin # in. I told her "please go away" which made her mad. One of her giant size, over weight biker friends covered in tatoos creeps out of an aisle and starts yelling at me. Wow, really? What the hell did I do? I got all my bags headed for the door and this huge misshaped tattooed gorilla blocks the door, demanding i meet her outside! I couldnt believe it, i told her to get out of my way, squeezed past her without touching her and she spit in my face! OMG! I flew out the door, yelled out i was calling the police, got in my car, locked the door and called 911. I will never ever go back to that store again. Never in my life have I come across a wanna be thug as a cashier. Police were called. Sue had told me she couldn't check out my dollar laser because cameras watching would think she was stealing. I told the police to please go view the camera tape.
Because it was Sue and biker woman against me, the other sweet cashier was probably to scared to tell what happened, afraid to lise her new job, maybe. Sue told sheriff their cameras were broke. This happened monday around 3 p.m. -4:15p.m. sept 3, 2018. She needs to be fired, i am 64 yrs old, been a cashier for 30 yrs, never in my life have i come across a bully wanna be thug picking a fight with a customer?! I asked her 3 times to "please leave me alone, and I wasnt speaking to her any more" while trying to read card machine to put in my pin numbers in and check out.

Family Dollar poor customer service

Besides the store ALWAYS being dirty on inside and out. The manager there by the name of STEPHY OR STEPHANIE is VERY RUDE. She stands there at the register as if she doesn't see you standing there waiting. Instead of helping a customer, her and the undercover cop stands there and talk about personal business. She rung me up, turned her back and took her time putting lotion on her hands and talked with the cop. She didn't tell me how much i owed before she turned her back. The card machine was broke so i couldn't see the total either. When she FINALLY turned around, she gave me the dumbest look as if i was just standing there to be standing there. I had to ASK her how much. She NEVER greets customers. She acts as if she has a chip on her shoulders and don't want to be there. The whole store needs a make over. Until a change happens. Ill be going to Dollar general. Where the workers are nice and the store is clean and in order.

Family Dollar follow-up: poor customer service - incident #6458070

Date: September 4, 2018.

To: Family Dollar Customer Care Feedback Team

Re: Incident #6458070

Dear Customer Care Feedback Team,

Thank you for your reply dated August 31, your swift review, and feedback regarding Incident #6458070.

Also, thank you for addressing my concerns with your management team to resolve this matter based on the policies and procedures at Family Dollar

With all do respect, please answer the following questions.

1) What is the name of the management team that you refer, and where are they located?

2) Will the Family Dollar management team consider reversing the lifetime ban that is rendered against me by management in Store #10504? If yes, I please provide your reverse decision in writing, to prevent this issue from being a repeat occurrence.

Please consider I am a frequent customer at this location, have never been repeatedly cursed at by an employee at my workplace or otherwise. I easily spend $75 to $100 dollars at this location monthly for the past four years.

3) Is it company policy to allow your employees to provoke confrontations by cursing at their customers, spew condescending words and the lowest level of profanity possible at their customers?

4) Is it company policy to instruct your employees to resolve all issues with customers by closing the only open register for 30-45 minutes with a continuous growing number of customers in line? He continuously refused to service me; he simply would not accept my money or the assistance from another customer that was willing to pay for my items to end the irate dispute between us and to complete my transaction. This young, male cashier did not like the fact that the man before me in line insisted the older Spanish, female, employee get off her cell phone to assist customers in line, and the fact that I agreed with him; unbelievable! Both employees continued to curse at me and hurl slurs; the Spanish woman kept telling the young cashier not to service me. I continued to insist they stop arguing with me, stop threatening that I will be taken to jail, just call the police. Trust me this woman pretends to be organizing the same shelves every time I go to this store but, is doing absolutely nothing.

Thank you for your reply to the above questions.

Sincerely,

Frequent Customer

Family Dollar bad customer services

Hello my name is Ebony Barnes. I just came from store #05642 in Mount Rainier MD. The cashier in that store was very rude. I never in my life had to deal with such a rude person. I waited in line for 30 minutes because a lady wanted $5 off of her bill. Instead of the cashier telling the several other customers including me that been in line complaining, sorry for the inconvenience . She waits until I get to the cash register to get rude just because I asked her a simple question about giving out discount because the long wait. She tells "No" in the most nasty way and going to say it ain't my fault you waited in line. I don't think no one should be working at a store with an attitude like that. No matter how a person day is they should never take it out on a customer. I know that everyone need a job but I really don't think she need to working with people anymore not with that attitude. I been at work all day to go in to a store paying my hard earn money to go in to a store where I don't feel wanted.

Family Dollar harassment in the workforce by store manager

Hello my name is Jarrett Johnson. I am a employee of family dollar store #3824 In saint Louis Missouri. My complaint is for my store manager. Her Name is Terry Lakes. My concern is that my job may be in jeopardy. On several occasions my store manager has left me without resources to do my job for example i was not given the correct information when it came to cash handling deposits. i was told by my supervisor trainer Sandra Buckner that I myself should not take my own deposits to the bank, Which was false because today on 09/04/2018 i was written up for following what i was told by my supervisor. Upon asking if the information that was given to me was correct, I was told by Terry lakes, "I don't know, don't ask me". Another miss communication was that Casandra Buckner informed me that I should have been left with keys from Terry Lakes, in order to open and close the store properly but was not given any. 09/03/2018 at 4:30 Casandra Buckner informed me that she will take my deposit to the bank. 09/04/2018 my deposit was found in the store safe. which she informed me that that was my fault and that she had to report me and write a complaint. I asked why would her superior manager tell me otherwise and that she purposely gave me false information. I also have informed my District manager Jason Hummrich. which I have left several voicemails informing him of the situations. I also informed my supervisor Casandra Buckner about missing hours on my check, and was told there was noting i could do about it. I am trying to reach out to someone in upper management that will help resolve my problem before my job is at risk.

Family Dollar chestnut hill all purpose flour

I cant remember the day or time I bought the product but I'm a regular customer here. I was on my way home and realized I forgot my flour because I wanted to fry some chicken for dinner. I ended up stopping by family dollar and picking up flour which they happen to have the large pack for a dollar. I was really excited when I bought the flour cause I had never seen it For That price before. When I get home and put my groceries up I Started Preparing Myself to cook. I Open the floor and immediately bugs start crawling out. I ended up videoing and taking pictures of the product itself.

Family Dollar 908 la salle avenue, hampton, va

This Family Dollar in Hampton is the worst Family Dollar Store I have ever seen.
The Store is in a disarray. The items are mixed up and all over the place on the shelves.
There is never any staff or anybody to help you. There is no air conditioning in this store! The store is hot in = hot weather. Everyone is sweating. It is a shame!
There is never any staff in this store --except for two cashiers always.
There is always a sign outside that they need workers, and they are hiring, but no one stays long enough in this store. The cashiers they hire always leave.
There has been no store manager in this Family Dollar for quite some time. This store definitely needs help, and they are always "empty" in the food department.
This store needs a lot of help.
At least have air conditioning?

Family Dollar customer service

I wished store number 11371 on 9/3/18 at approximately 6:13 pm for a purchase. My credit card showed no sufficient funds, so I used another card. The problem I have is that the unprofessional cashier at the register made an announcement that I didn't have the funds to pay for my merchandise. There were other customers at the register and I was embarrassed. These are the things that keep customers away from certain stores. No empathy for the consumer. Some retraining could be used at this store.

Family Dollar store management

I recently quit Family Dollar store #9418. I did so because I reached burn out stage.
I f it weren t for the hard working managers at your stores most of you in the ivory tower would not be pulling down those 6 or 7 figure salaries. MY LAST two to three months I averaged 65-75 hours topping out at 88 hrs in the middle of july. You top executives need to to do an" undercover boss" to see the frustration we managers go through day in and day out.
Attendance is poor! why you might ask- hour rate too low, lack of a bonus system or monetary review for doing a good job. I went 22 straight days with at least one call off or noshow. The resultwas that I had to put on my superman suit and do my job as well as theirs.
I had one of the larger stores in the Milwaukee area and I treated it as if it were my OWN. I worked very hard to maintain store standards; however, hearing the constant threat of being terminated put me in a mode to find other work. Happily my talents did not go unnoticed and will be joining a company that values its hard workers. Store operations need to change if your going to be profitable in ALL your stores.
The way we handle unloading the truck is a waste of time, money, and employee energy. Monthly schematics should involve a separate team of workers that have the experience, speed, knowledge, and time to do the job right. This would include your monthly endcaps as well.
As a manager of one of your stores I work the overstock everyday and then had to help out with the 40-60 totes we received on weekly basis. YES I had employees to distrubute the work ;however, there are times when customers needed to be taken care of as well. ( I am betting not one of you could handle the work flow I did in a months time.)
Recover recover recover if Ihad the right staff it it would get done. Toys, apparel, and towels hardest to keep neat. The only time I sat down was to do the necessary store daily, weekly, monthly and making sure registers, change fund and the
deposit were done right.
I have been in the retail business for over ten years. Worked as a manager for an inventory company for over five years. I got a chance to see various store operations up close and Also working in the merchansing division of the same company.
Doing schematics can be fun but not if you are under constraints as we are .
I am a hands on guy. By working as hard as I did, I hoped to set an example -however, what I got were people who didn't care - AL will get it done!
As I showed and explained many a times I actually made less per hour than they did.
Finally as people of the ivory tower you ALL need to get your hands dirty. I heard many stories how each of you moved up within the company. I feel you all have been complacent. You forgot how hard it can be, the hours you all put in, the double shifts you all had to put in, the customer ridicule because you maybe following the store policy on a return only to be insulted, the laziness of some workers, the demand to cut shrink especially when security has been pulled away, two strong armed robberies and only to hear how it should have been handled or why and how the store could look better (REALLY)!
FYI I am not the only manager who feels this way. I predict You will loose half of your managers in the near future more so in the higher sales store than your rural stores. I I hope you you make some changes becausethe people you serve will be impacted.

If you dont think so, please see the store sales at#9418 since 08/24/18.

Family Dollar condition of the store

This store has not been in our town long it was really convenient for a lot of people to go there rather than Walmart. About 2 months ago the store started goin downhill merchandise all over the floor I went in there today August 30 and it was like a bomb had gone off. Some isles you couldn't even walk down because the floor was covered with merchandise like someone had gone I. And emptied the shelves onto the floor frozen and refrigerated food setting on the floor instead of the coolers. People were complaining when I walked in the door to the cashier I found my way down an isle the things I went there to purchase I couldn't even get to I turned around and left without buying anything. This really saddens me it was a really nice store. I won't be back until condions change so will a lot of other people. This store needs your help or it won't stay open

Family Dollar racist cashier

I downloaded the family dollar app 4 days ago, i was registered and everything able to clip coupons and save them. I bought items for that purpose to use the coupons. I get up to the register, this lady was beyond rude. No hello, no your welcome thank you nothing straight ignorant. I was a former employee at this location and this is a disappointment I've worked customer service for 10+ years i know how to handle and treat a customer and she was none of those qualities. I go and tell her i have the digital coupons she goes no i dont know you need the app and i go NO I HAVE THE APP LOOK she looks then looks the other way doesnt even acknowledge the fact. So i ignore that rude gesture AGAIN, now for the coupons being used i entered my number and she goes no its not valid. I show her my phone and tell her scan the barcode then she tries after 2 times she gives me a dirty look and an attitude of really i really have to do this. I had to spend more money then i came with and now i have to ask someone to buy my babies food cause your CASHIER doesn't know her job or customer service. I'm feeling profiled cause I'm white and she was african american. I had my 3 kids with me she's watching them as they go by the gumball machine ignoring me giving me attitude. There was a line forming behind and she acted like she had no clue what to do, so before getting frustrated and saying something i just paid the full amount which i think is so dumb when i had the coupons! This is ridiculous after today i will never go to family dollar again. I can't believe i got mistreated cause im white with coupons. What is that about? Is that family dollar racist? I feel profiled and i feel like she wanted me to look dumb. Something needs to be done and it better.

Family Dollar deplorable customer service

I went in to a FD store #666 on 8/30/2018 to purchase some sale items that were on your FD app. I was the only person in line with the SM and ASM standing there but noone came to check me out. The SM then says the ASM would be with me. When i finally get rang up i let the cashier know i wanted to do multiple transactions to use my FD app coupons. The ASM didnt let me put in my phone # so i told her to let me finish she had a nasty attitude about it. After my transactions i was told by the SM i was not allowed in the store and not to come back.

I went to family dollar in charlottesville store #666 to get some items that were on sale. I went to the back where items were located but there was no ad signs in sigjt. I walked thru the store again there was no ad signs anywhere. When i asked the SM "which items where on sale and why were there no ad signs present?" She told me i was not allowed in the store anymore. This is the most horrendous service i have ever recieved from a SM she needs to be removed from this business. If you cant do your job right there is reason to take it out on paying customers. I will not ever return to this FD #666 until they have better customer service/removal of this SM!

Family Dollar employee

I'm a value customer at the James Jackson pkwy family dollar in Atlanta, Georgia. Today August 29th at approximately 5:33pm I checked out 6 items at this location, which should have been 7 but I'm guessing the 1.00 lemon scent dish liquid was missed by the cashier. Once I reached home around 7:45pm I realize the dish liquid wasn't in my bag and I contacted the James Jackson pkwy location to make them aware of my returning because the item was missing. Upon calling the store at 7:57 pm, I was greeting by the employee stating "hello" I was confused if this was a business or a personal landline because of the way the employee answer the phone. I asked the employee if this was family dollar and she stated "yeah" very rude, unprofessional, and nonchalant. I asked if this is the way the business answer the phone, the employee ignored my question and asked "how can I help you, with an attitude" I explained to her about my missing dish liquid, which she then asked the another employee...without asking me to hold, "did somebody leave they dish detergent up here" after a few moment the employee place the phone on hold, once again not asking if it was ok for me to hold while she found out. When she returned she said " ain't no dish liquid on either registers. I told her I would check my receipt for the item, which then she advised me to bring the receipt back to the store as we disconnect. From checking my receipt, I noticed the item was never rung up. However, the rudeness and unprofessionalism was very distasteful and need some serious evaluation. For further questions or concerns I can be reached on my cell at [protected] or at my email address at [protected]@yahoo.com

On 8/28/2018 at about 9pm in Jenkins, KY 41537.Me and my wife went into the Family Dollar to purchase a couple items.I was looking at the head phones and the manager walked by me and I spoke to her, I said"Hi, How you doing tonight ?", the manager (Juanita) ignored me, did not speak back just kept walking.I went to check out with my wife and the person at the register said something like "The manager said if you walked out the doors with that charger shes calling the law on you.I got so upset I asked to talk to her, he said she was in the back office, I emptied my pockets on the counter and I pulled my shorts down to show I did not have anything, their was no one else their to see me, just me, my old lady and the employee behind the counter.I went back to the office and knocked on the door to talk to the manager and she stepped out (Juanita) is her name.I told her I did not steal and I had not stole nothing.My wife told her she was 51 years old and too sick and old to be going to jail.Juanita said "Well it don't matter Ive had alot of people coming in here stealing lately, even an old guy that always talk nice to me that I would have never thought would steal anything and I'm sick of it".She said some other things too but the point here is, I did not steal anything and she accused me of stealing and calling the law on me and got me and my wife upset and my wife has had two strokes, she cant be getting upset.We go in that store at least 5 days out of the week but my wife said she would never go in their to shop again, she said she will take her business to the Dollar General store from now on so she don't have to worry about being made upset for being accused of shop lifting by a manager that is paranoid and taking it out on the few decent customers their is left, Jenkins is a very small town and everyone knows each other, now everyone will know what kind of manager is running the Family Dollar Store, my old lady loves to talk and write on the internet, she is the one writing this for me right now. I don't think their is any way to make up for this kind of accusation that can ruin someones reputation.Thanks, Carl Polly
