Verified Reviewer |I'm upset with an employee
I was followed around the entire time by an employee, from the second I entered the store to the second I paid for my things and left. Disgusting.
Won't be returning for that kind of treatment. I make triple what those employees make and have absolutely no reason to steal, yet I was followed around like some kind of criminal. I called family dollar to try to tell them about the experience and no one picks up. They are impossible to reach.
Even using your company I am unable to get a response. Horrible customer service from both store employees and corporate. Those employees were even changing clothes to pretend they were customers! I saw it with my own eyes.
Workers pulling several different sweatshirts over their red workshirts like they were some kind of private investigators on a major case.
It was absolutely ridiculous. I might write the BBB it was such a disgrace.
- Cant think of any there are places with better value
- Employees treat random people like thieves
- Wont even give you a receipt if they dont feel like it
- Corporate is impossible to reach
Preferred solution: Want my receipt.Charge doesn't match products chosen.Sketchy.I put in my phone, they should have purchases on file.Unable to contact company to let them know situation.Issue occurred at 6429 rising sun ave, PA but not on list below
User's recommendation: Don't go here. Period. If you must go, arm yourself with a camera IMMEDIATELY so you can expose them.

Verified Reviewer |Illegal activities
I was a assistant manager for Family Dollar at Rudisill and Broadway location in Fort Wayne Indiana I Not only was bullied harass discriminated and retaliated against when I got a hold of the quote on quote Integrity matters where there's no fear of retaliation hotline which cause exactly that my manager refused to listen to me whenever I try to mention the sexual harassment on top of the discrimination and everything made from not only him but the coworkers but I was forced to sign a document or a write-up a final write-up I had no idea of any other write-up so I have not signed any other write-up I have never received a write-up in any job that I've ever worked until after I started trying to call HR about the situations that have been going on I worked almost a 15 hour shift during a remodel from 3:00 p.m. as the one assistant manager left early leaving the remodel crew by themselves all the way up until 8:30 a.m. without a break I have only taken about six breaks Within the three or four months I work there since June 14th not only that but it was brought to the manager's attention that one of the co-workers was leaving work to go by *** and would be gone for hours at a time they also know or knew that this coworker was smoking it in the store building he also knew that many other employees including himself was taking damaged items and putting them in their vehicles or taking them home some not having been even damaged and nothing was done about that there was screaming and cussing going on in the store while open which nothing was done about but when I was left alone with medical conditions in which I was not able to be in a store by myself and I was on the phone with HR and my district manager a customer and an employee supposedly both twisted my words around to explain that I headset that this manager said it was okay for the associate I previously mentioned was allowed to stay in the store after hours and sleep there when the store was closed now I did not want to go this route and I loved working for the store besides the management but I'm going to start taking legal action if I cannot get a hold of anybody I apologize but not only did I receive psychological trauma to where I was afraid on anything I did because they would use it against me I was afraid to leave my bag around anyone because I found my stuff scattered across the floor and I've had things stolen Not only was I afraid to say anything to anyone but it caused me complete and utter distrust in anyone higher up so between the discrimination and the illegal activities and everything taken against me as retaliation with the last 2 weeks especially not even including on when I first started working here I will pursue to file charges if actions are not taken for how they have wronged and did me there were times I was stuck on register the whole entire shift yes I know that register is one of my assigned duties but with my medical conditions which everyone knew about and that I have mentioned on multiple occasions if I have to use the restroom I cannot just wait I have to go and I'm not about to leave up front and use a restroom when my coworker is nowhere to be found even though I had messaged them and said and explained I had to use a restroom I was forced to hold it for over 2 hours which caused more health conditions and issues the way that I was treated since I got into the store and how many times I have expressed my concerns I can't stress enough that I somehow will find a way to press charges the hostile environment along with how they environment is around and the mess and the safety issues especially here recently OSHA will also be getting involved if I cannot talk to someone from corporate about the situation I am not the only employee that has been harassed and bullied out of the company from this specific store and location and team I have over 100 screenshots of harassment bullying inconsideration to disabilities on top of inconsideration to an employee psyche and mental health the photos below attached are the safety hazards that we have had to work in multiple times I apparently didn't have enough characters to say everything I wanted as a solution I want closure that this will never happen again to anyone else I want closure that all the psychological trauma on top of how I was treated to stop I want to be able to call HR and not risk what I had to go through what would I like to get I would but I would like is for corporate to call me someone higher up than HR someone higher up then district manager someone higher up the manager someone that I know I can trust to get something done about a situation what I want is for a company to take employers concerns seriously I want to be able to call HR and not worry about the whole world Crashing Down because as this whole situation panned out I became suicidal I wasn't going to because my kids and my family are more important but they're bullying and their abuse and their hostile environment cause me more mental health issues than I had previously now what I want is my rights as a human being on top of an employee or having been an employee compensation for how it destroyed my family life my mental state everything in my life has crashed because of this the actual address as I couldn't find it in the list is
- Affordable
- Product availability
- Products
- Management
- Being turned away
- Family dollar is a good store with bad customer service
Preferred solution: I want compensation for all the mental trauma they did location 102 East Rudisill Boulevard Fort Wayne Indiana 46806 as well as when we helped out at Broadway which is 2011 Broadway, Fort Wayne, IN 46802

Verified Reviewer |Employee at your store yesterday….
User's recommendation: Don’t say anything about the discount in front of that kid work. He should have a manager by him while people are checking out. He is very rude. He should be retained. I’m a manager and you don’t treat customers that way.

Verified Reviewer |Sale refused by Store associate
I was in the store to purchase some items. I use your Family Dollar app scan my items.
It was a cheaper price through the app. And then it was on the shelf and the Clark refused to give me the price that it stated in the app. They said that we can't use the app to scan for prices. But it is the Family Dollar app called the manager over manager refuse.
To adjust the price in short about the cereal on the shelf for $5.25 in the app. It was $4.75 they wouldn't w change the price. I had maybe 4 items that needed a price change and they refuse to do it.
Store #0634* *** W 144th st Riverdale IL Can someone please explain to me why the app has different prices than in the store? And if the app is for the customers to be able to scan the product , why can't we get the price that is listed in the app?

Verified Reviewer |About a return that I couldn't return so false advertising
I am very upset I purchased a Cabelas gift card for $50 at Family Dollar on Sheridan Dr., Buffalo, NY last week I no longer need it because my sister bought the same thing for my father for his birthday. I looked online before I went into Family Dollar and it said if you were with in the time limit of 30 days and you have your receipt.
You will be able to exchange everything even gift cards so I dont understand why they couldnt put it back on my credit card. I understand that it did say you cannot get cash back anytime with returns but I dont understand why they couldnt give me a credit on my credit card for $50.
- Cheaper than most stores
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Be careful when purchasing store or restaurant gift cards not just the money gift cards! It says online you are allowed to return your items including gift cards as long as it’s within 30 days and you have your receipt. They did say no cash refund but I paid with a credit card and it would be very easy for them to just give me the $50 back on my credit card so Just keep me his in mind!

Verified Reviewer |I can't get my money back off these Google Play cards gift cards. I've tried to contact Dollar general or family Dollar Dollar general I got positive result after about a month I got a refund but from
- Family dollar good prices and selection
- To be able to get ahold of customer service
Preferred solution: I just want to be able to spend my money. A full apology for the headache wouldn't hurt but the main thing is I want my money back
User's recommendation: Don't buy gift cards from Dollar general or family Dollar. My fight right now is with family Dollar but I've had the same result with Dollar general. I had a copy of the receipt along with these photos of the gift cards but somewhere along the line it has been misplaced deleted something I'm telling you I'm not bsing if you bring the barcode or somebody runs the barcode I'm sure that they can tell that these haven't been spent and if they are 2-$10 Google Play gift cards

Verified Reviewer |Employee Put his hands on me and my Fiancé
Yes, this happened on Sept 4th, 2023 and the location was on Patton Ave in Asheville NC. At 6pm in the evening.
Myself and my Fiancé was shopping for my son some school supplies and a couple pairs of pants and they did not have the right size so I decided to just go to a different store. On my way out I saw they had toothpaste for a $1 a tube and I bought one tube. After I paid for it, the employee started staring at me and looking mean and angry. I asked him was he alright and he said, *** No You need to open your purse NOW.
He was screaming at me the whole time. So I let him look into my bag and he didnt see anything cause I didnt steal anything. I literally opened it up right in front of everyone in the store and everything and then he was like thats *** Loud and very aggressively. Then he turned towards my fiancée and said give it up buddy or Im going to beat your *** And then he got in his face and started pushing him.
He also got in my face as well and trying to make me give him my purse and I stumbled and fell also. He then followed us outside to our vehicle and he tried to get our tag # and took a picture of it. I told him I was going to call the law and then my fiancée came up to him and told him not to get into my face anymore. Or put his hands on me.
N thats when he started fighting my fiancé. He push him down in the parking lot and stole my fiancés hat when it fell off his head whenever he pushed him down. N my fiancé was like give me my hat back and he threw it on the ground and tried to punch my fiancé in the face several times. I called the law and I hollered it out that I called the law and he finally stopped trying to beat on my fiancé.
My fiancé has stage 3 stomach cancer and has been in treatment for months. And is sick and under wait. If he would have been better then he wouldnt have got the upper hand on him. The employee even called me and him names.
I need help getting justice. Im going to go take charges out on him.
Asap. (BTW HE WOULDNT GIVE US A RECEIPT)-
(HE BROKE MY FIANCÉS CELL PHONE AND SHATTERED THE SCREEN WHEN FIGHTING HIM) PICTURE IS BELOW
User's recommendation: Stay away from that store.

Forget all about the BBB ; they are privately owned and have no legal authority. None.
Anywhere. Ever. They will take your report and allow it to be reviewed by other consumers, but that is all. It is privately owned and supported by "member" businesses who want that little foil sticker for their cash register or front door.
It exists for self promotion yet has become an urban legend regarding its ability (ne : lack thereof) to represent consumers or execute legal actions. It's the tricky name and logo that people fall for. Employees are allowed to follow you around, throw you out, anything.
Their inventory shrinkage is probably horrible and the minimum wage folks instructed to watch everyone or lose your job. Don't be such a snowflake.
Actually if you do your research the BBB is very helpful when a business screws you over. Don't be such an ignorant troll.
What is a disgrace is you thinking that you are better than them because you make more money than them.
So you think that because you make triple what they make you are a better person? Why else would you brag? Making more money does don't make you a better person, or less likely to be a thief.
Big ego from small person.
The only person that has a big ego is the OP..The OP admitted that they were followed around because they have the habit of trying to hook up with underaged..not because they are suspicious of theft. They are the small one with a big ego.
Don't project your sick thoughts on me. If you think like that, it means you are the one that likes the underaged.
I looked at your profile and it seems you have a habit of trolling people. You must be such a sad little person.
Such a shame. You go on this site in the middle of the night cuz you're so sad and angry with your own life that you feel the need to attack random strangers. You're probably some middle-aged, beer-gut having, angry little unmarried lonely man who's just angry at the world and wants to make the world angry. I bet you won't post your social media so we can take a look at the man who's so much better than all the rest of us.
Your weird.
And you need therapy, not an internet connection. LOSER.
