Used to be a favorite. Now it's a mess…read more Since i was hospitalized earlier in the year, i had a lot of things to replace or upgrade. I sent my sister in with cash and my loyalty info to get me the advertised sale. The shelf talker was still up from yesterday and it said "half off all sheet sets". My sister loaded her cart and asked if they would still honor it and they said no. New manager also said no. Then they asked if she still wanted it and she said no. But because she is polite she took all her stuff and put it back and left. Because i have 30 years of retail experience, with everything from big box to boutique, from $500, 000 in sales to $14, 000, 000 as a softlines manager, i told her she did the right thing. Her time is money and i don't like it being wasted. I had to walk my dept. before opening to make sure all signage was correct. So, no one did that this morning at the Monroe store. And because she still had to spend my money, she went to Meijer.

Five stars for the coolest salesperson ever!…read more Ashley was a hoot! First thing she said to me was, "We have no clothes here", when I said I had never been in the store. She went on to explain that most Family Dollar stores have a clothing department but this one only had socks and accessories. I had come in to see if they had anything cool for the marina in the way of decor. I didn't see anything that would work, but I did pick up some hairbands for a doll I was rehabbing. While in the store, I managed to take some pics and get an idea of what they had. They are more like a five and dime from yesteryear than a true "Dollar Store". There are some items in the dollar range, but most are higher than that. While I was browsing, Ashley rang up customers and managed to check on me now and then. When I asked her how the Chinese restaurant was nearby, she gave me a menu so I could take home. She said they did a great pork and vegetable dish but their almond chicken and sweet and sour left much to be desired. Someone in Monroe should hire Ashley to run their store. Her level of customer service was exceptional!

We've been customers of Danny's since moving to Monroe in 2006. On a recent 90 degree day my…read morehusbands car broke down near Walnut Street, about two blocks from Danny's at Cole Road. He forgot his cell that day and walked the two blocks to Danny's to use their phone to call me to pick him up. It would have been another two miles to walk home on a hot day, and he is in his mid 80's, not a good idea. He walked into the store and asked the woman at the cash register if he could use the phone, he had a break down and needed a ride. "NO" was her response. Surprised, and with disbelief, he walked back to the meat counter where two men were working and said again, "could I use the phone please" ? Both totally ignored him as if they didn't hear!!!!! Very fortunate that a man my husband had worked with came in right then, and offered to take my husband home. What has this world come to that three people in that store refused to let a Senior citizen use the phone when he had a car brake down? This was stunning, shocking, surprising, and really CRUEL too, on a 90 degree day. He would have had to walk the two miles home if that customer had not come in. This experience has put a new light on this local business that we have patronized for years. It's the neighbors here who keep them open, and this is how they treat customers and neighbors! This will not be soon forgotten.
