  Unprofessional and ratchet. While she was ringing me up, the cashier was busy talking to some little unaccompanied kid who was playing in a nearby shopping cart. So she rang up one item twice. I didn't notice until I'd left the store. I went right back in and told the cashier she'd rung me up twice. She yelled for a manager, telling her "I have a return". Instead of, "I rang up an item twice." The manager approached and w/o even looking at me said, "She need to get back in line." (Not an English major, I guess.) So, the ignorant cashier makes an error & they make me get back in line. Rude and ratchet. Then, when they finally do the refund, they give me the wrong amount back. So, they had to correct it. At least the cashier apologized for the sitch. But not that hoodrat mgr. Now I usually would NEVER use words like hoodrat, ghetto, or ratchet to describe people. I always found those terms offensive. But then I moved to hoods in Jersey. This Family Dollar: Ratchet. Hood. Ghetto. It is what it is. Now I'd been in that store before and some staff were helpful and polite. But, like some other reviewers have mentioned, some cashiers--like the one I've referenced here--spoil that place for shoppers.
