POOR PERSPECTIVE and EVALUATION
Family Dollar store: 4500 N. Tryon st. (located behind Compare Foods Store.)
November 24, 2007 AT THE FAMILY DOLLAR STORE, above location,
I was incountered by a very uncomfortable position here.
That day i was in need of a few office supplies and choose to stop at this location to pick up these such supplies from there.
because of there reasonable prices.
Entering the store i am greeted by a loud speaker annoucement "Welcome To Family Dollar store, all activity is recorded and moniterd", (also Hearing this periodicly threw out my shopping experiance from customers entering and exiting the store.)
I picked up a folder and continue to look for anything of intrest while i was there, Finding nothing i proceed to the front cash registers on my way i notice a hair food product on one of the centered racks i picked up the item looking for a price and found none.
Then is when i here an annoucement over the loud speaker "Security serveillance needed in selected area." (3) Times, Like many of us hearing this announcement i look to see who would look suspicious.
I countinue on to the front where i am advised by an undercover security shopper at that time that i would have to leave my bag at the front register. I then said "If this was a problem why was i not directed up on coming in to do so then" and "Was that serveilance announcement because of me" Which she denied but i knew better becuase i didn"t hear the announcement any more after she appoach me. I also offered to have her search my brief case if she'd like, she refused.
After purchasing a folder, I left feeling a little humiliated and uncomfortable about returning there.
NOW POINT IS, Family Dollor stores can be found in any where from upscale communities to rural communities but mostly low income rural communities. True these areas are known for hire crime rates. So the beefing up on securty is necessary to secure Company inventory. Fine and dandy!
But simply being PlACED in a catergory of "SUSPECT" do to the fact of, (YOU LOOK LIKE), or past activeties. Then in this case men and women should be asked to leave there hand bags, purse, brief case, Book bag, what evers big enouph to conceal an item.
(2). This was an act of POOR Judgement of character by the serveillance crew there and offensive. The last place i recall to have overly hyped security is the jail house visitors processing room, Look Just be "AWAIR " that your being watch and poor judgement and insenuation will get you arrested.
So when intending to go to this location I suggest you carry lite bring in only what you need to make a purchase, if walking have someone hold your bag while you shop, Try to wear thin see threw clothing so nothing can be said and maybe just maybe they get the right perpetrator threw all that observating. PEAPLE WE SHOULD NOT BE MADE FELT GUILTY BECAUSE OF WHO WE ARE, LOOK LIKE AND/OR WHERE WE LIVE. THE CONSUMER IS YOU OR ME IN ANY CATEGORY.
The consumer keeps companys up and running.
Now General Dollar thats another story and still have great deals. Thoe it may be a little further ways but i will spend My MONEY there and else where.
PLEASENT SHOPPING

North Carolina Attorney General
Top Ten Consumer Complaints of 2006
1. Health Care: In 2006, a total of 5,035 consumers filed complaints about health insurance, doctors,
dentists, hospitals, pharmacies, opticians, nursing homes, health products and services. Consumers
often have problems with medical billing practices or have trouble getting copies of their medical
records. For help with health insurance issues such as grievances, appeals, and external reviews,
consumers can call Attorney General Roy Cooper’s Managed Care Patient Assistance Program at
(919) 733-MCPA [toll-free in North Carolina (866) 867-MCPA] email MCPA@ncdoj.com, or visit
http://www.nchealthconsumer.com/.
2. Do Not Call/Telemarketing: 2,025 consumers filed complaints with our office about unwanted
telemarketing calls and unsolicited faxes. Consumers complain about unwanted faxes offering
vacation deals and investment tips. Among the types of telemarketing calls generating the most
complaints are those pitching satellite television, debt consolidation, mortgage loans and business
opportunities. Since the Do Not Call Registry began in 2004, nearly 4 million North Carolina numbers
have been placed on the list. Consumers can continue to sign up for the Registry by going to
www.nocallsnc.com or calling 1-888-382-1222 from the number they wish to register. To report
telemarketers breaking the law, consumers can call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM or go to www.nocallsnc.com
to fill out a Do Not Call complaint form.
3. Lending/Credit: 1,985 consumers complained to us about lenders and creditors. Complaints
about credit vary greatly and include problems with mortgage lenders, banks, loan brokers, payday
lenders, check cashing services, credit unions, refund anticipation loans, savings and loans, and
pawn brokers. Consumers’ complaints usually involve high interest rates, loan payment charges due
to late or missed payments, adjustable rate mortgages, prepayment penalties and loan fees.
4. Debt Collection and Identity Theft: 1,599 consumers filed complaints about debt collectors or
identity theft. Consumers often complain about threatening calls from debt collectors or how
frequently they were contacted about a debt. In some cases, consumers get calls about debts that
aren’t even theirs. Identity thieves are striking more and more consumers across our state, stealing
personal financial information and using it to run up debts and commit fraud in someone else’s name.
Some consumers don’t find out that their identity has been stolen and their credit ruined until the debt
collectors start calling. For tips on how to protect yourself from identity theft or what to do if you may
be a victim, go to http://www.noscamnc.gov/.
5. Home Furnishings: 1,342 consumers complained about furniture sales practices. The majority of
complaints come from out-of-state consumers who placed orders with certain North Carolina retailers
by telephone. Consumers often complain that they received the wrong item of furniture, a damaged
or defective item, or never received their item at all. Many problems stem from companies closing
shop without filling orders.
Attorney General Roy Cooper �� www.ncdoj.com �� 1-877-5-NO-SCAM
6. Motor Vehicles: We received 1,282 complaints from consumers who had problems with car
repair, towing and new and used car purchases. The most common complaints are pricing, improper
diagnosis, unauthorized repairs, failure to honor warranties, and slow repair jobs. Consumers also
complain about harassment from towing companies, and we receive numerous lemon law complaints
from consumers who are dissatisfied with their new car.
7. Telecommunications: 1,199 consumers complained about their telephone, pager or cell phone
service. The majority have problems with wireless telephone service. Other common complaints
include slamming, when a consumer’s telephone carrier is changed without their consent, and
cramming, when a company tries to sneak unauthorized charges onto a consumer’s phone bill.
8. Telemarketing Fraud: A total of 1,175 consumers filed complaints concerning telemarketing fraud
last year. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that fraudulent telemarketers scam as much as
$40 billion a year from unsuspecting U.S. consumers. Some of the most prevalent telemarketing
schemes involve bogus international lottery tickets, advance fee loans, government grants, credit
card or identity theft protection, and phony prizes or sweepstakes.
9. Home Repair and Construction: 853 consumers filed complaints about home construction and
repair work that was never performed, contractors who abandoned the job after getting paid, shoddy
work, missed deadlines, and cost overruns. We also hear about scam artists who target seniors,
attempting to sucker homeowners into a series of unnecessary and expensive home repairs.
10. Internet Service and Sales: We received 779 Internet-related complaints from consumers in
2006. In many cases, consumers are dissatisfied with their service or are surprised to see their long
distance telephone bills rise sharply because of Internet dial-up charges. We also see complaints
from consumers who ordered products via the web or participated in online auctions but never
received their promised merchandise. Reports of counterfeit check scams involving online sales are
also on the rise. Scammers respond to people who’ve posted items for sale on legitimate websites
such as Ebay and Craig’s List. The scammer claims to be interested in buying the item, then sends a
certified check for more than the purchase price and asks the seller to wire back the extra money.
Consumers who fall for this scam cash the check and wire the funds from their bank account, only to
find out later that the check was a fake.
Consumers who have experienced a problem can file a complaint with Attorney General Roy
Cooper’s Consumer Protection office. To file a complaint, call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free
within North Carolina or download a complaint form from www.ncdoj.com.
