FAMILY DOLLAR Locations

By Chauncey Tide December 24, 1976 On Innovation in Laundry Packages began arriving in Southshore three weeks before Christmas. The boxes were uniform. The return address listed a company in Northern California. Several residents mentioned receiving them on the same day. Inside each box: fifty feet of cotton rope, two metal pulleys, and assembly instructions printed on card stock. The instructions were clear. They suggested mounting the pulleys at opposing points and running the rope between them. A diagram showed clothing suspended from the line. One resident said she opened the package in her kitchen. She read the instructions twice. She said it took a moment to understand what she was...

I am writing this post because after months of issues with Verizon, a store manager finally suggested I file a Better Business Bureau complaint. I'm old enough to have lived through various "worst company in America" headlines - those including companies like Bank of America, Comcast, Wells Fargo, and so on. But on a personal level - NOTHING comes close to the awful experiences I've had with Verizon over the years. Verizon has by far and away been the worst company I have ever had to deal with. I sat down with a store manager for an hour as she listened to just a handful of complaints about what I had to deal with being a customer of Verizon Fios and Verizon Wireless...

**Quantum Santa** It all started when the north pole got bombed. The newly developed *Nullwave* was a weapon so powerful that it annihilated my home. Actually, it just erased it. One second I hear the bomb drop, the next second the entire north pole just disappears, leaving behind nothing but the water it was sitting on top of behind. The elves, my workshop, even my reindeer all disappeared with it. I was lucky enough to escape in the nick of time with my sleigh. The north pole is more than just the location of my workshop; it’s part of the most important treaty in the world. You see, I signed a deal with these humans long ago that I wouldn’t enslave all of them as long as they gav...

I am a mom of 3. I work full time at my children’s parochial school to obtain free tuition for 2/3. My oldest is medically complex and disabled, which I take the large mental, emotional, and physical load of as well as all medical. My husband works in sales and we make a combined salary of about 150,000 but in a HCOL area. No debt. My husband comes from a very generous family who often gifts us large sums of money (tens of thousands), which has helped us keep afloat especially with our disabled child and the costs associated. They also take us on nice vacations etc. I come from a very dysfunctional family where money is weaponized and besides a renovation a decade ago- my parents have not...

While I was shopping at my local Publix earlier today, I was stopped by a woman who was accompanied by a man. She handed me an index card that had a sob story about needing bread and milk for her two kids and repeated it verbally to me. What caught me off guard was that she wanted me to come up front and pay for them instead of asking for cash. So I asked her if she wanted cash and the woman said I didn't have to do that. But I insisted since money is money regardless if it's cash or debit/credit, and gave her a $20 bill. After I gave it to her she said thank you and left, but her tone and expression didn't show genuine gratitude. The possibility of them wanting to see the pi...

For some context, I (26 F) live with my mother, my sister, and a roommate that my mother moved in here after a month of talking to him on a dating site. My mother has always smoked, I think since she was fourteen. She’s now fifty four. My problem is she smokes in the house, and so does this roommate. Now, I don’t want to hear “it’s her house!” It is not her house. It’s /OUR/ house. We all pay rent, provide our own groceries, pay for all of the bills equally between us, etc. I’m really struggling with the smoking. Of course the obvious is it’s just not good, and it’s making me very anxious. I have asthma, and have had asthma since I was a child. I’ve expressed that it make...

The essence of the film is revealed by Domino when she mentions "the end of the rainbow." I am sure this has been discussed before, but the movie, apart from being a pretty faithful adaptation of a novel, is a critique of how materialistic society has become. The movie is set during Christmas, but the only indication of this are presents, parties, and ornaments. The only ritual is one which endorses unrestraint rather than piety. Bill thinks that if he pursues "the end of the rainbow," and attains the luxuries and acceptance of the clan at the party, then his insecurities, including those towards Alice will evaporate. Every person in the movie basically serves some transa...

My baby shower was in November and this has been bothering me on and off since the baby shower. My baby shower was incredibly small. It was my parents, my husband’s mom, my friend, and my husband’s sister and her fiancé. My sister in law didn’t bring a gift. However, when she had her baby during COVID I sent her through the mail a baby/mama care package to celebrate her having her baby since there was no baby shower because of COVID. I have known her for six years and I just feel like she should have gotten a gift especially since she knew we were having such a tiny baby shower. Also it’s not like I need a big gift. She could have gotten me something from the dollar store or even a ...

Hi, so this is the second time I ask for a game in this subreddit, and I wanted to know which chances did I have this time to obtain a videogame to play during my summer vacations. Ive been wanting to play Dave The Diver since it came out but my countries' economy doesnt always let me buy things that arent essential for my everyday life, and so every time i see it on steam i just postpone the buy because many times its just not worth it. Then I saw the game on sale in the steam discounts. And it has been itching since I saw it. The desire to play that game. It looks cozy, something that i could play while drinking a cheap wine in the late summer nights of december. I wanted to see if i...

So me and him have known each other for 4 Christmas’s and he’s gotten me a present for 2 of them. One when we first met and one last year. (I got one for him for all 4) I asked him earlier if he’s done shopping for everyone and was jokingly asked what he got me, he responded with nothing. Tbh I was a little shocked but just brushed it off. As we were going to the store I wasn’t talking much since I’m not feeling well. He then started raising his voice at me asking if I’m mad that he didn’t get me anything and that I don’t have a right to be upset at him. After that I was upset cause why are u yelling. Now that I’m thinking about it I am a little hurt knowing that he’s got...

I was in the car with my friend 20 minutes ago and she decided to cough near me as a joke. It was a light cough and I’m not sure if she covered her mouth or not cause I was looking out the window when she did it but right now I’m bawling my eyes out because I bought a few food items at Walmart and now I’m worried it’s contaminated with germs. I bought two small apples pies, Mac and cheese, bread, a box of pasta, bbq sauce, and a can of evaporated milk and all of the food is covered in its packaging but I’m still worried it’s contaminated with germs and I don’t want to get anyone sick and I would feel so guilty if that were to happen. So now I’m not sure what to do because I w...

Hi! Sorry in advance because I never post on Reddit, but this issue is driving me crazy. After I was unable to restore my childhood account, I made a new account and have since purchased Deluxe, pets, and eStore items. Unfortunately, my pets’ hearts will not fill up at all. Feeding them often decreases their hunger, or if it increases even slightly, it will randomly drop back down drastically. None of the pet care activities increase their heart level or family score. The animations play, but there is no actual result. Sometimes my pets also get stuck looking like they are sleeping, but they are technically awake and moving around. My pets are constantly complaining they are tired lol. ...

Okay so my dad has a problem with alcohol because of the military, and we are on family holiday and he went in to the liquor store with me. I asked him why we were in here and he said he was going to buy vodka, but not to drink it. I lowk started crying and kicking him in the leg(people didn’t notice) and he willingly left. Now a few hours later I find a vodka bottle in his suitcase, I don’t know if he bought it before the incident or after. Without really thinking twice I opened the bottle and poured the entire thing in the drain, and filled it with water and sealed it back and put it back where I found it. I don’t regret it. I am considering to confront him tomorrow, but I won’t t...

I don‘t want to live but I don’t really want to die either. I get moments lately where I really just don’t want to be alive. I feel like my family hates me because I’m trans, i feel like I’ve been ***** my whole life, I **** how my brain works, I **** being different I **** being sensitive. everyone in my life has told me at some point “get over it”. old friends, exes, parents, siblings, everyone. I hold grudges and I **** that I do but things hurt me so much I can’t help but still get upset over things that happened years ago. I have big feelings and big reactions to small and big things, I wish I didn’t but i do and it makes me feel embarassed, wrong, weird, different. I ...

We share finances (mostly mine) We use the same bank account (mine) and we’ve gotten Christmas money from family over this past week. I checked my bank account today around 3 pm to see that he had been buying alcohol all day throughout the day. He is a functioning alcoholic so although he’s been drinking all day, anyone else probably wouldn’t sense anything off about him. I however, know him and even without the transactions, I knew. He picked me up from work and before I could get in the car I saw him throwing things from the front of the car to the back (empty beer cans and not sure what else.) I confronted him about what I saw on my banking app, which he took pretty well. I then ...
