Just had the weirdest experience at this Family Dollar. For some background, my wife and I are struggling financially and literally live to the last penny we have in our name each week. All I had left to my name until payday tomorrow was $2 in rolled pennies and some quarters, but I needed some mozzarella cheese to make pizza for dinner tonight. So we went up to the Family Dollar, grabbed some cheese, and went to the check out counter. I apologized that all I had was pennies, explained that I rolled them so I wasn’t shoving loose change into this lady’s hands. I assured her many times I triple counted the coins to ensure it was the correct amount each role. Honestly, if she wanted me to count them for her I would have because I understand people try to pull a quick one on others a lot. She didn’t ask me too, but she did ask me five or more times if they were exactly 50 cents to each role. I assured her that yes it was correctly counted each time with a smile. She then told my wife and I that the owner, Vicki, knows everyone in town and if the roles were incorrect she was gonna do… something? Her tone suggested that if I was even a penny off this Vicki person was going to come after us. I’ve lived down the street for three years and never met a Vicki. Either way, I was already embarrassed that I was buying part of my dinner with change and this interaction didn’t help that. Needless to say, we probably won’t be back. ~Summer
