I was traveling and stopped in a Family Dollar Store in TN. It was in the middle of January 2020. I believe the date was around the 20th, because I had to be back in Florida by January 23, 2020.
I am not in a listed state, but this is an unethical store. They won’t pull expired food and the price on the shelf is not the amount you are charged. I reported them to the state.
I shop in Putnam T,N., and Cumberland T.N. countries and I thought it was so just me that could smell something bad at a few places.
Please add me. I shop at Family Dollar all the time
No
Please add me. One location smelled terrible.

Umm I lived in Cascade IDAHO when a MANAGER was stocking the shelves while wearing latex gloves. I said ‘CarrieJo, what’s up with the gloves?’
She replied with ‘all these pallets you see in the aisles came from a distribution center that had a rodent infestation, I dont want to get sick.’
That was in Idaho! No recalls, no shut downs, no public warnings. Any items with obvious damage to the outside packaging were sold at a discounted price. The community that this store was located in was never notified.
Dang and then what Carrie Jo say to you? Mind yo biznass??? I would have.
