Family Dollar Consumer Reviews - Page 3

OLATHE, COLORADO -- As soon as you walk into the store the temp inside is very uncomfortable warm, actually hot! Then the one checker with one or two other employees being with each other. The 7 customers in line are hating life like me. The employees have all told me that the temp is controlled back at the main office. Which I'm sure is more desirable. I really can't stand this store. So I'm done with this so called store.

TAMPA, FLORIDA -- Clerk ** worked on 8/12/2012 and was the rudest person I have ever come across. I will never visit another Family Dollar. No customer service professionalism. Treated me with attitude through my whole transaction.

TOWANDA, PENNSYLVANIA -- I was shopping in your store and found it to be a very pleasant experience. The assistant manager was very helpful to me and all around pleasant, very cheery attitude. The clerk was polite and courteous. I plan on shopping here again.

LIBERTY, NORTH CAROLINA -- The store supposedly opened at 9:00 am. It's 9:20 am. They are inside and I still have to wait for 5 min... that turned to 10 min. That is a big problem. They just lost 5 customers that came by. They are not responsible enough.

TWIN FALL AND JEROME, IDAHO -- I come into a store and hear good afternoon. I turn towards the employee only to find them now speaking to some other person. So I hear a greeting and then see the back of their head!

CLEVELAND, OHIO -- I go to Family Dollar on pearl and state almost every day. I spend at least a hundred dollars a week there. The manager ** is rude and couldn't care less if there are 10 people in line with 1 cashier. I won't be going there again.

IOWA -- Don't know where the previous reviewer is coming from, (maybe Egypt), but these bandages are the best on the market. And they are made so you can actually open the bandage without chewing the paper off as with other manufacturers. I'll buy nothing else!

I'm not sure if this is the place to leave this comment; but I wanted FD to know that the new Fabric Bandages manufactured in China are NOT any good. The previous ones manufactured in Egypt were of excellent quality and very satisfactory and every bit as good as the name brand!

HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT -- Reasons for the immediate termination of **, Store Manager of Store # 05055, located at 190 Farmington Ave, Hartford, CT 06105: ** is verbally abusive toward employees. He makes threatening remarks, swears at and about employees, threatens to fire individuals and all employees as a group many times throughout each day. His verbal assaults are both intimidating and criminal, violating both Family Dollar policies regarding treatment of employees and producing a hostile work environment.

** is both unable and unwilling to perform the job as store manager without the continued assistance from his significant other to perform administrative managerial duties as well as putting the company at risk for liabilities that may occur as a result of this person's counting of company funds, access to confidential information, and fiscal liability if she becomes injured while working on the loading and unloading of trucks during receiving and of U-boats while stocking shelves.

** also has continuously put the company at risk by having a minor child, his nine-year-old stepdaughter, in the store in the early morning hours prior to opening as well as during working hours. ** is unable and unwilling to provide a work schedule for employees, thereby violating both State of CT and US Labor Laws. There has been no posted schedule for the store for several months. Employees are expected to call daily to serve at his will to determine if they are to work for that day.

During work, ** has been under the influence of alcohol. The smell of alcohol has been made evident to all employees, security personnel and customers on too many occasions. ** violates Labor laws daily in regards to denial of lunch breaks and other breaks. He has consistently required employees to stay in the store, sometimes for several hours, after close without pay, "off the clock" time.

** has called employees at home and made threatening remarks, swearing at and about employees as well as making threats to fire the person. He has called an employee's home looking for other employees that do not live there and also has made threatening remarks.

** has repeatedly violated the privacy of female employees by walking into the women's restroom while female employees have been using the facilities. This is considered sexual harassment by the female employees. **, District Manager, that is responsible for this store and ** immediate supervisor has been repeatedly been made aware of these actions and has also failed to address the situation.

CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA -- To those of us who are less fortunate with money these Dollar stores are a blessing. The products are mostly quality products at low cost. I shop here all the time for my cleaning supplies and monthly needs. I also buy thing here for my child because she is a dollar store junkie. She would rather go to the dollar store than to Wal-Mart. Everything is affordable for me to last me the entire month and I'm not ashamed to say I shop here. I love this store and buy almost everything there.
