“I love and hate this store!!
Only four items on my list, I don't know how I wind up spending $26...... Like really ??♀️
Why do they carry everything?? I be in that store for an hour some times...”
“Very unfriendly lady works here beware.... looks at people like she hates them or her job.... store has alot of items for decent prices... I'd say more but i dont get paid for this”
“I'm cheating I work there. Yes I know there is stuff above $5, but where else can you go and buy an inflatable 4 man raft for $25? Walmart charges $100 for the same one”
“I'll tell you the number 33 is the best to me so I keep coming & ordering it lol . I'm new here & this place welcomed me as I was coming in the door . Very clean & organized store I like that everything you need is in there you don't have to go elsewhere plus this store is nice . The food is delicious ?”
“After going to the Apex Bumper cars I went to five Below and we saw Isabelle Jerome and Savannah Jerome we Brought Pink cup with baby cutie blanket is that nice from Savannah Jerome.”
“So the review before mine, saying that the 'dark haired Spanish girl' hasn't been there and it's been a mess since, I do agree that she worked very diligently and is very good at keeping a wild and crazy store going. I hope she is doing well because she has helped me many times. One time, years ago my wallet fell out of my pocket in the store and she put it in the safe in case I came back for it. I had just cashed a check and had several hundred dollars of cash in it. I was very grateful because I wouldn't have even blamed anyone for taking it or the wallet being there with the cash gone. But everything was still there. Now that's a good employee. There was a man in there too who was aware of the situation and I really was full of respect and gratitude, I appreciate knowing that good people like them are in our communities. When I drive by at9-10pm on my way home from work, if the lights are still on in there I picture them in there doing their best to get the store closed and ready for the morning shifts.
There's an older woman in the store that I don't particularly enjoy because I find her to be loud, boisterous and smells like stale smoke and clipped cigarettes. She will announce loudly that she can't get anything done and is not even supposed to be on register. Or that she didn't take a break and should have left hours ago... If her time management is out of control like that, it makes me think that she should adhere to the work she is assigned and not just fumble around assigning blame and making everyone else stress out over it. If she's not getting the work done then hmmm maybe, just maybe? They might hire another person or flex someone else in to give the store some reprieve. I'm sure she's a good worker in other regards. She doesn't make me feel unwelcomed or anything like other customers have reported, she's just stressed and frazzled. It's a clear indication that she needs help in there. I find it's unfair to compare the employees to one another. They are totally different people with different idiosyncrasies.
There is a newer female employee in the store lately who is fast, efficient, detail oriented and really has combed through the aisles to remove expired products and organize the mess so the items are actually in the correct spots. A lot of times the store can't keep track of the inventory if they have a popular product that is behind an unpopular one. They won't get more of an item that has been displaced and still in the store or stolen. If they sell something then that can be replenished. I've noticed some products that they are supposed to carry but never have in stock are starting to be in stock again in the last couple of months which I am very grateful for. It's a difficult job. Please respect the workers in there even if you're at odds with them or having negative interactions.
I hope people realize that their job is tiresome and not always rewarding. They are usually understaffed but mostly willing to help. They do put the customer needs ahead of their own so be sure to thank them and remember that they are doing their job.”
“Employees at my local road general are fantastic. They're always friendly and quick to help you if you have questions about anything and like always that have great prices. Thank you for general and employees for always making it a pleasure to shop at my local DG.”
“Very clean store with the best selection of goods I’ve seen in any discount store. I appreciate that the products for the latest holiday are always shelved within the first two aisles. Also, very friendly and welcoming staff!”
“A tad crowded. Freight all over. I had to move a U-Boat out of the way as it was blocking the entire front opening of the aisle (FIRE HAZARD). Lousy cold non-soda selection.”
“A bit crowded (merchandise-wise), but they have almost everything you would expect or want/need from a 99 cents plus store. I spent a little time going up and down the aisles and ended up purchasing some things I needed. The lady at the register was very nice as well.”
“Hi, everything was great and everybody knew where everything was. I went to buy an apple ? corer and an egg ? slicer but the manager said we don't carry those in the store. C'est la vie, Joe”
“Love that it's close to me, but this store is a MESS all the time. One register open, line down the aisle. Boxes, junk on all registers. Then I go to niskayuna one...gorgeous. super organized and clean. Why such a difference in just a few miles?”
“This is the best Family Dollar in the arena. It's well stocked & clean. Shopping yesterday the employee w/ ponytail braids was doing the most! Greated me, stocking, managing the whole store & cashed me out, shout out to her give her a raise! Fam Dollar need to recognize this location! Honestly all the ee's here are great it's my preferred location ❤”

“I’ve been coming here for about half of a year now and I gotta say that everything I’ve purchased I’ve been satisfied with, from duct tape that’s stronger than gorilla glue for only $22 for eight rolls, to socks that are High hand running sucks that would otherwise sell for $10 a pair, I got here for I think eight pairs for $10 I think. The gentleman runs the store is extremely helpful and kind guy. Family run store. I highly recommend the flashlight on account that I’ve dropped it over 20 times and it’s still works. I would call it a higher and variety store with discounts that are better than most discount stores.
also five stars for starting a business during the time when it’s not easy for small business, Thank you”
“Lovely guy here with dreads he is always so polite no matter how busy he is, his bosses should recognize his hard work and give him a raise and a surprise thank him for his hard work? keep up the good work my good man and things will happen good for you?”
“This store is conveniently located in the middle of Bellevue and has a large variety of reasonably priced items. Shopping here often replaces a trip to the grocery or department store. It also provides savings on many things I regularly use. The staff here are helpful and have provided excellent service and safety during the pandemic.”
“Very hard to get around all of the piles of boxes blocking every aisle…. The staff were very busy trying to unpack all the boxes and didn’t even know people were waiting to cash out.”
“We picked up our pallet today and DEFINITELY was worth it! We knew there would be some baby stuff but between a brand new Jumperoo, 2 high chairs and a JBL Bluetooth clock we got our investment back!”
