This is the closest Family Dollar to me, and it's a good one.
I went here yesterday to purchase a new pair of RCA earphones because the previous ones I had, purchased from a FD at 66th and Halsted in Englewood back in January, lost their level of quality earlier yesterday, and went to hell in a jiffy. At least they lasted a long time, even through all the hell I put them through. And this is why I just love FD! High quality products at low quality prices!
Anyway, the place was sold out of the RCA earphones, which cost 2.25 excluding tax. I went over to the cashier and told her this, and look at this, she plucked out a pair from under her desk! I purchased them, but while waiting in line to do so, I looked at a rack containing short shorts in all sizes that you can think of, for just $4. Saw my size, and if I had more money on hand to buy something other than the earphones, I would've purchased two of those short shorts, because I love short shorts. *wink wink* ;)
Something else about this FD location that makes it so interesting is the TV, that's linked with the security camera, right above the outer cashier line. On the screen, other than the shoppers coming in and coming out, was the weather forecast! Weather forecast? With current temp? With the day's forecasted high and low? What the hell is going on here? I've never seen that before on a security camera/TV combo in ANY store!
Hahahahahaha! Neaty! read more
