I tried to return merchandise without a receipt for a merchandise credit. The manager flat out refused even after I showed her the policy on the Family Dollar website. She was extremely rude, talked over me and would not listen to anything I tried to say. Also accused me of stealing the merchandise. I'm don't know why she did not honor your store policy. I...

Yes I am a daily shopper in your Main St Wellsville ohio store. I spend a lot of money in there. You guys should be ashamed of yourself for letting your customers and your employees even come into this store. It is over a hundred degrees in there. Actually it is cooler outside than in there. No fans are allowed and no doors aloud opened for any kind of air...

I loaded my car with approximately $100 worth of the merchandise and went to the check out. The clerk began to check the items at regular price. I explained that the items came from the clearance section. He...

I went to the store with items I had bought previously and wanted to return. I did not have the receipt so I asked for a store credit. The store manager [Deanna] I said there was nothing she could do without her receipt. On your website clearly states 100% satisfaction and when making a return if you do not have the receipt you will be issued a store...

Family Dollar service, scam, unethical behaviour from employees!

While visiting this store location on September 6, 2019. I was entered into a AOA banding me for coming into store property location. I don't know why that such a decision would be made on my behalf. Officers arrived as well on September 6, being called to the store location by a female employee and female store attendant. The female attendant followed as I walked to the rear of the store to look for a product. She then asked me, sir and continued to repeat it three to four times. I gave her no response and continued looking for product. I left out without purchasing the product thinking that there was not enough money added to my credit card. I went back into 3564 or 3560 South Mendenhall family dollar store location realizing that I do have enough to purchase what I wanted. The female attendant then tells me to leave the store soon as I entered the second time for no apparent reason. I then continued to the rear of the store. I picked up the product and took this product straight to the counter for purchase. The female manager then comes over to the register where I was and says no decline my transaction purchase. Also states she doesn't have to if she wish no to do so. I only asked the manager employee if it was okay for to go back to her register while I check-out, because she was looking at my Visa card. The lady manager refuses to do so. I insisted that I will like to continue to make a credit purchase transaction. Since the card swipe machine asked for my pin I asked if I could purchase the product with a credit transaction. Being that it seem like my pin was changed without authorization. I was not checked out by cashier and treated very rudely by two women employees.

I have been buying kidgets Pampers and wipes for my daughter since she was born and they have been ok up until recently. In the last few boxes I have bought quite a few of the Pampers are defective. The velcro strip detaches itself from the fasteners and sometimes it's already detached before I even attempt to put the pamper on her. I'm on a once a month...

Ok i'm going to rant for a few minutes, so if you don't like rants then don't read this! Since when does family dollar not have public restrooms? I went straight to the back and they had doors that clearly said men's and women's on the 2 doors. It was locked so I went to the front to get the key, she looks at me and said we don't have public restrooms. I...

Family Dollar employee

I am a former employee at the family dollar on central ave. Toledo ohio... Store # 10369... I recently reapplied there... And based on my previous time there was told that I would be hired back... When I called back I was told I was on the non rehire list... When I left the store... March 30, 2018... It was because I was physically threatened by one of the assistant managers... And I left based on that threat to my personal well being... I then informed the manager that I would not return, as long as that employee was there... And was informed that they still would be... So I told the manager I wouldn't be returning... To make a long story short... I should have reported it then... The employee that confronted me was subsequently fired months later... What I would like out of all this, is to be lifted from the non rehire status... I enjoyed working there... And the manager can attest to my work ethic... Any assistance in this matter would be gratefully appreciated... Don martin

Family Dollar employee service - checker

8/26/19 - My granddaughter and her friend went into your store around 5:30pm or 6:00pm and was treated very badly from the middle age woman that was waiting on them. My granddaughter was using the digital coupon via cell phone for the first time and for some reason it did not take the coupons off of her bill. The checker would not rescan her items and would not return her money when Megan ask to return the items if she was not allowed to use her coupons. Her friend asked the checker "why are you always rude when I come in?" The checker got mad and told them to get out of her store or she would call the police. My granddaughter said the checker accused her friend of calling her names which she DID NOT call her one bad name. Her friend just called her "Rude". That is not name calling! The checker called the police and lied about her being called names from my granddaughter's friend. The police would not let the girls say anything on their behalf, so they had to leave the store without getting their money back. This is very unexceptionable customer service and I would appreciate if you have a talk with this woman and have her own up to the false accusations. This is not setting a great example to these young kids to lie to the police and get away with it. Please have a talk with her and I feel she owes these girls an apology. Also, I would like to see them both get their money back! I feel Megan's friend was being discriminated against because she is black. My granddaughter is white and was not treated as harshly as her friend was. In fact, her friend was told she was not allowed to go back into the store. IF there is nothing done about this behavior, I will take it to the CEO and explain there is a reason your stores have such a bad rating because of this behavior from your employees. Please let me know when this has been addressed and what you will be doing about it, ASAP. You will find my business email below.

Thank You

This store needs to be shut down it's so bad! Since the remodel months ago you cannot walk in it. As soon as you come in the door it looks like it was looted or a hurricane went through it. Empty boxes and full boxes of stock in every aisle that has been there for months. Clothes on the floor by the piles that never get picked up. Every shelf is in...

I have gone into this dollar store for years.. It has always been greatly ran by a man named ralph... He was always making sure everything was clean and stocked.. He knew all the customers that came in... He even helped my husband grab my normal products for cleaning when I couldn't make it to the store because he knew everyone so well... He was amazing...
