Review №1

I was in this store this morning with my fully trained Service dog.The Manager, Misti asked me for my papers on my dog. She tried to be as nice as possible while asking for them and when I told her that it was illegal for her to ask for them, she stated that she needed the papers for her records. She said she could lose her job if the health department came in and saw me and my service dog there. She then went on to say that there were several people who have provided her with paperwork for companion animals, and that it was obvious my dog was a service dog, but she still would want papers to protect herselfI got home and called the Customer support line and was left on hold for an hour and a half before giving up and resorting to this customer review.Family Dollar needs to train their personnel better. There are no documents that are recognized by the ADA. But many unscrupulous websites continue to offer such in order to confuse the public as to what the laws are. Companion animals are not service dogs and should not be permitted the same access as a highly trained service dog who is trained to perform a specific task.It is illegal to ask for documentation for a service dog. It is illegal to ask the handler about their disability, and it is illegal to deny access to a service dog. This is not saying a business or its entities do not have rights. If a dog is out of control, not housebroken, or otherwise causing a disruption, and the owner does not correct this behavior, management is perfectly within their rights to ask the team to leave.If management is convinced the dog is not a service dog, they are permitted to file in court where the handler will then have to prove the dog is in actuality a service dog. If it is proven that the dog is not a service dog, the handler can suffer serious penalties.The manager was not risking her job by allowing me access with my dog, she was however risking her job and a lawsuit, by asking for paperwork. I am not one to sue, I am one to educate in case someone else, who is more inclined to sue, should encounter this same problem

Im not going to say this store doesnt have its flaws BUT, this is the ONLY family dollar Ive been that doesnt have rude employees. Well, unless youre stealing, of course. The parking lot usually is trashed but it isnt their fault, there is ALWAYS someone asking for money or cigarettes. There is an abundance of bums and drug addicts, sadly. That is anywhere on the Westside. I definitely feel for the employees there. They even have to have security there. The ONLY negative thing I have to say about the store itself that they can control would be the prices. A lot of things doesnt have price tags.

This store allows drug dealers and hookers hang outside. And people bumming from you. It needs to be closed down. I also asked the management and a cashier for help and they could not even help me in what I was looking for.
