I worked for Family Dollar as an assitant manager and seeing the kind of work that was required of us compared to the pay, it felt like we were working for free. I also recall my manager in tears after being beraved by the distrinct manager. This place is in Brockton massachusetts. This class action lawsuit, does this also cover assistant managers as well or does a seperate class action law suit need to be filed?

Maybe the Chinese secretly own Family Dollar Stores – so why don't you ask your corporate office to send you some 7 year olds and YOU can pay them each 7 cents and hour so that you can spend some time with your Family. It's a “Win – Win – Situation”. The Chinese are used to the work for nothing pay and You would actually make a decent wage for your hours worked. The only down-side is that the owners might replace you with a 7 year old that works for 7 cents an hour. This is “America” man – do the American thing and make them answer for their illegal activities.

After hearing all the complaints against Dollar General, it's no wonder that they have problems hiring and keeping competent employees. I was recently double charged for a purchase that I made with cash, after the cashier told me that my debit card would was declined. I told her please make sure that my debit card would not be charged. Her Manager assured me that it would not be. Not so. When I looked to balance my bank statement, I found the two charges, that I had paid for with cash!! I spent 20 minutes trying to pay for a $8 purchase. The cashier was obvisouly new, and did not know how to operate the register properly. The Manager was busy doing something else and took a long time to try and help, however it turns out was no help at all. I was told that I would have to return to the store with my receipt before she could call corporate and see what they would do. LAST TIME TO SHOP WITH DOLLAR GENERAL, ANYWHERE…ESPECIALLY IN NORTHPORT, AL. , NEXT DOOR TO SAVE MORE, ON MCF BLVD. Have been going there 3-6 times a week. NO MORE!!

I currently manage a store for them and managers are still required to sweep, mop stock unload trucks and now are the only ones allowed a back door key to take out all garbage.we are still required to work way over their so called 52 hours a week. I consistantly work between 56 and 70 hours a week, 14 hour days be the only one runnung the store sometimes 6 hours a day. I was hospitalized with a heart battack and other issues went back to work in 2 weeks. My doctors sent fd all the forms they required 2 times. After a month of being back at work they stopped paying me all together. A guy from hr named Brian told me I was still on medical leave and was not going to pay me. The timesheets show I was at work my dm new I was at work and even asked me to run another store which I did and still thje company said they would not pay me. I know personally one manager required to and worked 90 and 100 hour weeks then her name was run down and reputation besmirched when she tenured her resignation.
