Good evening
I’ve been shopping at the Family Dollar Store located in Normandy Drive in Miami Beach for years. There have been many managers that have come and go, and all provided good customer service. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the manager that was there on Sunday, January 15, 2023, at 10:58 am. After purchasing a few items and was given the receipt, I realized that the amount on 2 items were not priced as stated. Before leaving the store, I approached the cash register (who was very nice) and told her the discrepancy. She told me that she couldn’t adjust the price, but the manager could. The manager was sitting behind a column when I asked that she help me. She leaned forward and asked what the problem was. I asked her to come with me to show her the priced item as well as the sale item. When she saw the priced item, she said that the company is constantly changing prices and that was the price. When we walked to the other isle, I showed her the sale item. That isle was filled with sale item stickers. When she looked at it, she said that it expired on the 12th.
I asked her to honor the price because that is the price marked. She said she didn’t have to do anything. She said I should have looked at the expiration date. The cash register associate was there and heard when she said that. I proceeded in telling her that that is her job and not mine.
She started to remove all the stickers on that isle as well as on other ones. When I went to return the sale item, she wanted to keep the original receipt. When I told her that the original receipt is always given back to the customer with the refund receipt, and I was going to keep it, she said that she would not do the refund. I had already inserted my card, so the refund went through. I don’t know if she wanted to keep the receipt since I had written down her name (how I understood it) and her supervisors. I tried calling the following day to speak with her supervisor, but no answer. I believe the manager’s name is Odelmi, and the supervisor is Yunesis. I will ALWAYS take the time to commend good customer service. Rarely, and I mean RARELY, would I take the time to call or write a negative review about anyone. Well, this is one of those RARE times. I would appreciate a call or email back from Family Dollar Store. Arlene 305-610-4558 email [email protected]

    As a former manager of family dollar I wanted to let you know that everything you mentioned that the manager should take care of is correct. At the store I worked for not only did we have to change the price and honor the price shown but if there was an expired product on the shelf, it is company policy to damage out that item and throw it away. So you should of got a full refund. Also the customer service representative could of changed the price. It’s one of the few things the rep can do without the supervisors approval and or credentials. Family Dollar is getting rid of the customer is always right general policy and is just money hungry as a company. If you noticed, many of the goods, especially food items, are marked up 75-100% from your local grocery store. They don’t care about your wants and needs, it’s not even “family oriented” anymore. The company in total hasn’t made any sort of internal update to there systems and policies since pre-Covid 2016. I could go on and on, but I’ll save that for my own complaint and suit I will conducting on my own. If you have any questions or concerns I will provide my information below.
