99 Cents Only Stores Reviews

I have not seen your fruit scene shopping bags at your Dallas store for the last couple weeks. Where are they as I have been buying this quality bag for years? They are very well constructed and last forever. Whereas the other shopping bags that you sell are garbage. I bought one a couple weeks ago and the handles tore away after the first time I loaded the bag up. I had to return it to the store for a refund. You had a very good high quality bag that lasted forever so I do hope that it hasn't been discontinued by your store in favor of some cheaply made Disney bags. Yes, I love Disney but in this case your fruit scene bags are vastly superior to the Disney Bags. Load them both up over and over again and see for yourself which is the BETTER bag by far. Thank you.

Why call it 99 Cents store? Almost half the items are 1.99$ and up. Each product that is more than 99 cents has a sticker that says, “An Amazing Value”. I beg to differ, 99 cents is an amazing value. Change the name of the store, it’s misleading the consumer.

Surprised when an older male cashier called me "Darling". I find many semi retired and retired working in many stores which is a given for needed income in these times. They do their best to do their work and be helpful, friendly and efficient. I unloaded my groceries and heard "Hello, darling." I never met this man in my life and I know from his culture as a term of endearment. He worked as a waiter perhaps 30 years ago when I questioned him. It is now 2019. Did he do this to women who are coupled? A woman behind me was a bar tender and called her customers "Honey". I never am disrespectful in my reaction but I found it patronizing. I let him know it was charming and apologized but he was bent out of shape because of the loss of faith in humanity.

This is ridiculous. They should start calling it nothing is $.99 anymore store! I used to brag about it all the time to everyone. I was a loyal customer for so long. Now I can’t stand to even go in there because I’m so disappointed that they’re over pricing the cheapest items. Even the produce I used to get there I can get cheaper at any other store now. They don’t even lower produce pricing that’s getting rotten. They’d rather throw it away. They have cheap slippers and purses that look so cheap they should be less than $.99 and they are Over $3.99. Hopefully they lose all their loyal customers or they need to get sued for calling it 99 Cents only. Then maybe they’ll go back to the original 99 Cents only store that everyone loved. They have lost me for good. They suck now!!

The other day I walked into a 99 Cents Only store in CA to get a small bottle of juice. The price tag read .99 cents, but at the cash register the display showed: Is it OK $1.00 for the item? Of course, I pushed OK button. 1 cent is no big deal, but I just want to understand why it is that way. If it's a normal thing for the company to cheat on customers like that, then remove the word ONLY from the name. PS: BTW, there is no food tax in CA.

I entered the store and was asked to remove my backpack by the cashier. I selected the items I had originally went for and checked out. When I went to retrieve my backpack I was told someone had taken off with it. I have tried on multiple occasions to get compensated for my belongings and now can't get a consumer specialist to return any of my phone calls. I'm livid!

Ok, So I have been fuming about this for a few weeks now. Let me start at the beginning. I used to be a loyal 99 Cents store shopper. Over the past few years I have noticed that they started bringing stuff into the store that did not look like they could be 99 cents nor was it when I got to the register. This was before they were clearly marked. I started shopping less and less when more and more items were not clearly marked and I would get to the register and find out that the price was double what I was expecting (not a good deal when the same bowl at the Dollar Tree is 1.00).

Me and my family have been loyal customers to 99 Cents stores for over 7 years but I've been really disappointed lately because nothing is 99 cents anymore. Everything is $2.99 and over. Even cheap toothbrushes are like 3.99. I'm so disappointed, I liked the 99 Cents store because it was really affordable but it really isn't anymore ☹️. I hope someday they remove their "Amazing Value" prices and go back to being 99 cents only, if they wanna keep their customers???

Hello everyone. I have been a loyal customer of the 99 Cents Only Stores for many years. The pricing has evolved tremendously over the years. For example, I began to see a dozen eggs that were usually 99 cents, be broken in half (6 eggs), for the $1. Now a dozen eggs are over $2 dollars now. And let’s put this out there, nothing there is 99 cents, everything is rounded up to a dollar. So, there is definitively a reason for a business name change, because nothing is 99 cents anymore. That is false advertisement, and the 99 Cents Only store, is long over due for a business name change, that accurately reflects its pricing to the public. They are no longer a 99 Cents Only Store, and should not be advertising to the public that they are.

I am very happy with our 99 Cents Only on Springs Road in Vallejo. When something is more than 99 cents it is clearly marked. And I have learned if a company sends them something they want the public to test, buy a lot because they will be gone quickly. My complaint is in the wine section. There was a wine that had been $2.99 for quite a while. It was marked at $2.99. When I got to the cashier it came up $3.99. Next time I went back it was still marked $2.99 but I wasn't buying. They need to do a better job of having accurate prices displayed on items with no price sticker.

There are so many stickers of $1.99, $2.99 and up it is a disgrace that from a one penny increase has morphed to 100 or more percent increase on a majority of items in the two stores I visit (Tempe and Scottsdale). Furthermore, there are items unmarked in refrigerated or frozen food section. I ended up paying $1.99 for some frozen meal that was not even worth 99 cents! (Tempe, AZ Southern and Rural Rd). The bread and other items have gone up in cases over 400 percent and not worth the price for stale or soon to be stale bread, pastry, donuts, bagels, All bread products from High end bakeries! And the Government says inflation is low. Well the Government should take a hard look at 99 Cents Only Stores in the past two years, 100-400 percent inflation!!!

99 Cents Only Stores have been the only dollar stores I've patronized for years. I have shopped in several locations here in Phoenix and the surrounding area and I have never been disappointed. I wonder if those who complain about the stores have compared them to other 'dollar stores' because that is where 'the proof of the pudding' is! If something is priced higher than 99 cents, there is a reason for it, and you can choose to purchase it ~ or not! The only signs I have seen are the ones that say if there is not a different price on it, then it IS 99 cents, and I have never been charged more 'because we ran out of stickers' or for any other reason. I have also never found any of my purchases to be of lesser quality. Some people are not satisfied with a 'good deal' and they want it to be 'an even BETTER deal!' Life is too short; be happy with the 'good deals'!

I purchased Christmas items at the Chino Ca store on Central & wanted to exchange/return with receipt at Ontario Ca store #376. After waiting approximately 30 mins for a manager I was told couldn't return or exchange seasonal items & couldn't get cash back with receipt. Problem is there's no signage posted about seasonal items policy & lack of refund policy is posted on receipt only after you purchase the items. The manager conveniently pointed out sign next to register which is hard to see! After much discussion the manager gave me $20 cash & $15 on a gift card as a compromise after my exchange with other items. As a 20 year business owner, I suggest making policies visible for customers to see! I only received what I did because nothing was posted!

I’ve been shopping at these stores for years. It was the talk of the town and even in the news for its bargains way back. Long gone are the insane random bargains of yesteryear and now the products are generally low grade and compete with retail stores. I use to walk in expecting something special every so often. Now those special items rank in with not so special prices and look like reject products. Also now more and more the staple items I go there for are doubling in price even this week the bread and bagels doubled.

I was just at store #207 at Glendale, AZ and I found some items without pricing or sign scanning for more than .99. I informed them of the issue and “store manager”- Jenny as she represented herself- refused to honor the price and her excuse was that she ran out of stickers. She said that even though items are priced higher and unlabeled they do not follow the policy of pricing everything .99 unless labeled differently. This is absolutely false advertising and the company’s management is very disappointing and poorly trained in customer service. I hope they fix this as I will be letting my family and friends know of their deceiving marketing tactics. Also, the 888-phone provided is useless as nobody answers or bothers to call you back. Sad this used to be my favorite store. Disappointing experience and appalled at managers lack of professionalism.

I'm through with 99 Cents Only Stores for one simple reason: it's not 99¢ only anymore - although they still advertise that they are. When I went in the last few times, I found many higher priced items - some marked, others less prominently marked. In any event, I've had issues with 99¢ only when they changed their prices to 99.99¢. I'm not a fan of false advertising. Especially false advertising that is allowed to get away scot-free. From now on, there's a 'DOLLAR STORE' right next to it where I'll be spending my bucks.

There are so many things WELL above 99 cents now and I think they should be sued for false advertisement. There are signs painted everywhere saying “99 cents only”. THAT IS A LIE. What a scam! I am shocked that there is no lawsuit that has taken them out yet.

I attended the District Manager meeting in September of 2018. A very valid question was raised and that question was "If an item is not marked with a yellow sticker and rings up as more than 99 cents, the store will honor the 99 cent price. I looked at the salad packs and it stated that the Caesar Salad was $1.99 but there was not a sticker on the Asian and Mexican Salad Kits. I took pictures for proof and I went to pay for them and I asked that they scan the salad. It rang up for $1.99. I explained what we had discussed at the meeting, they called the "acting manager." Her logic... well there is a sign stating that the Cesar Salad is $1.99... so that answers everything... no it doesn't.

I had been shopping at the 99 Cents Only Stores for a very long time but the prices keep going up. It is getting harder and harder to find anything for 99 cents at the store. I think the store is in violation of laws by claiming they're 99 cents ONLY. I think there should be a lawsuit brought against this company. If they’re not 99 cents ONLY THEY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME. Time to start giving my business back to the honest DOLLAR TREE.

I shopped at the 99 Cents store in Barstow, CA. I needed some assistance. Fortunately for me Ms. La Wanda ** was more than willing to assist. Ms. ** provided me with excellent customer. Her knowledge of the store and friendly attitude was such a refreshing experience. It is employees like La Wanda ** that keep a customer coming back again and again to the 99 Cents store. If there are ever openings for a store manager... Ms. ** IS IT!!!

I went to my local 99 Cents Only store that I always go to. I was looking around at their “fresh produce”. There was many rotten fruits. I talked to the closing manager Shannon or Sharon. I’m not 100% sure. She said there isn’t anyone for produce so she will get around to it later. I went back to try to find some good fruit but found nothing but rotten veggies and fruit. I went to the front and had them call her back up. I told her the situation and it needs to get addressed immediately. It’s a health risk. She began to tell me that she is very busy and will have the produce guy do it whenever he comes back to work. I told her just have one of the other workers go back there really quickly and just put the rotten food of to the side. She then had the nerve to tell me I’m more than welcome to do it myself and continuously rolled her eyes at me the whole time.

The 99 Cents Only Stores should be investigated as a public health risk. I am offering this documentation in the hope it will help bring enforcement and lawsuits to the company. This company is starting to cross a very serious red line into what might be considered illegal. The 99 Cents chain stores are offering "Fresh Produce". I am using this term with total skepticism. The produce there is rarely fresh and apparently the company believes perishable produce is to be handled in the same manner as merchandise.

WHEN YOUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT PROTECT THE CONSUMER! They should not be allowed to keep their name, simple items that use to cost .99, now cost double! A lot of seniors are stumped by this inflation and are forced to look for sales elsewhere because the 99 Cents Only Store is no longer a discount. It was worth getting a random piece of spoiled fruit in your bag when it was a discount, however, why would you pay full price for damaged or soon to expire goods? The 99 Cents Only Store overstepped its boundaries, forcing consumers to look for sales at regular retailers. The service is poor, the lines are long, now consumers are not willing to spend as much and many have just been turned off by their sneaky way of increasing prices meanwhile insinuating (by name) they offer the same service of a 99 Cents Only Store, and they do not! This definitely a case of FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!

You have to be very careful with the products and prices. After you pay for your items and in case they are not .99c they will not give you your money back. Cashier took me to another register and told her she wants her money back. First she ignored me for few minutes and start taking care of the customers, finally I complained and asked her to process my refund, then she turned to me and said, "Do you want to shop because I can't give you your money back." I said, "No I do not want to make any purchase. I want my money back," she kept arguing with me for few minutes. Finally I asked her to call the manager because I do not see any sign saying to refunds anywhere in the store. She was upset with me telling me, "Next time open your eyes and be smart when you shop."

I am very disappointed that the 99 Cents Only Store is getting away with selling items for more than what the name of the store is. I believe that it is fraudulent when the name is 99 cent only, but are allowed to sell items for $1.99 - $10.99. It is false advertising! I enjoy shopping there but will not ever pay more than $.99 +tax items. And I think that if other consumers would do the same, they might go back to selling just 99 cent items.

Fantastic bargains can't be beat with produce (fruits, vegetables, frozen and dairy). I love this place. The staff is always friendly and the place a joy to walk through. Thank you 99 Cents Only for showing the world we can have food at an affordable price.

I have shopped at 99 Cents Only Stores for about 15 years. I used to shop at Dollar store but found the lines long and stores messy. 99 Cents has now a variety of items such as produce, dairy, health drinks, cards, school supplies, spices, etc. I shop in Clovis, CA and Fresno, CA at the Bullard store. The stores are clean, fully stocked and the employees fast and friendly. Any items sold for more than 99 Cents are marked with stickers and signage.

I purchased two packages of underwear at the Valencia, CA store for 2.99 each not realizing they were boy shorts, not briefs. When I tried to return them (not even return them, I was going to exchange for other merchandise), I was told it was past the 9-day policy and I couldn't exchange them. NINE DAYS! That is a ridiculous policy! The packages weren't even opened. I have been a regular customer for decades, and I'm extremely upset. I have a VERY limited income of $800 per month and the $7 I spent on these is now lost because I cannot use them. Keep in mind also that I've returned items well outside this 9-day policy and never had a problem before. I will not be shopping at the Valencia store again.

I went to the .99 cent store to do shopping for a few items for work and myself. The final cost of my purchases as much higher than I expected. When I returned to work I looked at my receipt more closely and realized I had been charged 4.99 each for pillows and 3.99 each for cat food. When I walk into the 99 cent ONLY store, I expect everything to cost 99 cents or less. This is false advertising!

I have been shopping at the store on Marks street for years. Today I was treated by the manager like I was an idiot. I was at the store when it opened today and went by the cooler section and grabbed a few of the Kraft packs of the sliced cheese. At that time there was no sign stating there was a limit. So I continued with my shopping and when I got to the register I heard the cashier tell the customer in front of me that there was a limit on the cheese. Both of us told her that there was no sign so she said that the manager came and told her that he placed a limit sign up but this was after we had the items in the cart. So the manager told her it was okay for the customer in front of me to have the 4 packs.

They have a manager in training. She states her name is Keke... She a **. No hair on the side, wears glasses. On 7/25/17 @ 6:30 pm Texas time... she was very rude because I ask for a refund. She stated, "I don't know how to give a refund." Very rude upon arrival... Waved me off and stated, "I have other things to do" and then snatched the marker not pen out my hand. The Lord was with me TODAY. I stated, "May I have your cooperate #?" She stated, "I don't have it."

I was visiting Santa Ana store. Never been in the store before. As I was walking the aisles some of them were so empty. My problem didn't start until I try to find someone to get an item down from on top of the call storage. It was a bear in a box for 599. When I finally found somebody to get one down he handed it to me and walked away. I was examining the bear and found one of the paws was dirty like grease so I just took it to the register and decided to pay so I can ask there to get a newer one. Well that didn't go very well. The girl was very bothered by me asking. It showed in her face so I decided I would tell her I'll help her put my things in the bed when she finally found someone to get another box to move that box was torn apart.

I have shopped at 99 Cents Only store since they first opened. The store has totally gone downhill in recent years to the point of not wanting to shop there anymore. First and most inexcusable is their alleged "security". Totally worthless. Most of the time they are either sitting in their car in the parking lot or chatting friendly with the shoplifters as though they know them while the clerks do his job of trying to detain them until the police come, which never happens. They always take off and the security doesn't even bother to go after them, to get a license plate, description of car or people or anything. One particular loudmouth security person is rude, obnoxious, ignorant, loud, disrespectful, power hungry, directly lies in an attempt to puff up himself, sits in his car in the parking lot listening to music, acts as a parking police rather than security, "disrupts the operation of the store and the mgrs' duties over parking issues because he's a drama queen.

We shop at the 99 Cents Only store in San Clemente. I'm so so tired of going in and finding more and more items more than 99 cents! At first it was just the milk and eggs. I get it, they wanted to make these items available to us. BUT now it's everything!! The whole store has so many items more than 99 cents. They need to change their name. IT'S NOT 99 CENTS ONLY anymore! I feel like they are trying to get every dime from us. I feel like they are slowly stealing our money by slowly adding more items NOT 99 cents... like we are a frog in water that slowly boils us to death! Hate it!

I have been a customer of the 99 Cents Only Stores. I'm been very happy. They open the new one in Montebello Calif. Omg it's the bomb. It has so much stuff and it's so nice inside. It will knock you out. Please put one in Los Lunas New Mexico where I moved to now. I really miss my store. I'm jealous. Now that we don't have one please please put one in our town. Thank you. Happy customer.

05/2017 — With the new law passing that we are required to bring our own bags, I use a tote bag that works perfect for my shopping needs. Just another trip to my local neighborhood 99 Cents Store in Covina on Azusa Ave. I was doing my shopping as I have done numerous times using my tote bag as storage till I get reach the register when they are removed and purchased and placed back in my tote bag. I was approached by store associate and asked me to remove the items in my purse and very rudely said, "We don't shop by putting things in our purse before paying for them."

Was charged $1.99 for 4 different items. A sprinkler, garden gnomes and corn grill and a pasta container. I thought everything was... 99. I guess I won't be shopping there again because this is false advertising.

I had a horrible experience at the 3420 W. Lincoln Anaheim, CA, 92801. The cashier did not bag my groceries and ignored my bag as if he didn't see it. When I asked if the cashiers bagged the groceries when provided with a bag, the cashier ** began to argue with me and when I asked to speak with a manager he lied and said he was the manager. I could tell he was having a bad day and didn't want to be bothered with assisting customers and I set him off with my question. Never shopping at this store again!

I've read a lot of the reviews, in here, and some of the stories, are terrible, from rude employees, to over charges etc. I shop at the 99 Cents store a lot! In Yucca Valley, CA. Not once have I experienced, a rude employee, they are very, cheerful usually and nice. The store is clean, and well stocked. I think it's a life saver for our area. Maybe they should be more clear about their sign. Yes, some stuff is higher, but still, c'mon people you know, there is no way in he*", you would walk out of Walmart with a basket full of stuff, for the same price! No complaints here! I love their store!

I, like many people not happy about prices. I tried to buy some candy today which was clearly marked 99 at cash register. The girl ask me if is ok these items are 1.99. I said no because is marked clearly 99 in shelf. She apologizes and take them away. I am really mad. I want to take this company to court... 99 cent store means 99 cent not. 9999 not 1.99 not 2.99...

I was shopping for toys at 99Cents Store located at College Oak Dr Sacramento CA. While my items were being run by the cashier, a man who acts like the supervisor stopped the transaction because he decided to put 9 pieces limit on the number of items I can buy. He claims as store policy but I did not see any notice or signs for the limit. He suggested that I return another day to buy more. Why should I waste gas and effort to buy items from the store?

The 99 Cents Store is selling dog treats, made in PRC (People's Republic of China). Virtually everyone else, when identifying China as the mfg of their goods, puts "made in china" on the item, but Petkin, Inc, in Marina Del Rey, CA wants to hide where their product is made because so many dog products made in China have been tainted and killed many dogs in the US. To increase their deceptivity, they put "designed in USA! No attempted deception there. Shame on them, shame on 99 Cents Store for selling this stuff.

We popped into the 99 cent store @ 4849 FM 1960 and had the misfortune to meet Eva (cashier). She had the most horrible attitude and it wasn't until I told her about it that she even acknowledge that we were standing there. First she snapped at me "IS THIS HERS?" Meaning the customer in line ahead of me. Why snap at me? The woman just shifted left to right and neither of us answered. Both shocked. I put the divider in place and tried not to get upset. Then it's my turn to pay. She starts speaking and I was replying "Hello..." She stops and looks at me crazy and I realize that she was speaking to her friend that was in line behind me. I quietly paid my tab and quickly left the store with no intentions to ever going back.

The advertising and store name describes a store where ALL items are 99 cents. That is not the case, at least in Palm Desert, California. There are many items that are $2, $3, $4, and more. When I questioned this, the salesperson and manager said that there was a small paper/print sign on the door that said that some items can be more. All the while the huge storefront identifying sign says "99 Cents ONLY" and the employees wear a badge that says in large letters 99 Cents ONLY. This is very deceptive to the consumer who often will not check to see that they are actually charged much more than the 99 cents for an item. This practice is truly deceptive and obviously meant to defraud consumers. It reminds me of past "Bait and Switch" policies that were used by some retailers to get people into the store.

Incident occurred: 11/1/16 - 852 N. LaBrea Store 84. ** Mgr. said company was Security Safe Guard. Offender: **. I spoke with her immediate supervisor. He sounded like he couldn't care less. He gave me a number that he said was the company's **. Never got an answer. I was in the checkout line. I told the cashier that I wanted my glass bottles wrapped in paper. She said she had no paper. I said you have to have paper in a store. She turned to the cashier behind her. That cashier showed her the paper towels. I realized that she didn't understand English well. Then she proceeded to finish checking me out.

Let it be known I went to return some sandals this morning ready for check out. Customer in front of me not happy about paying for a refill on a deflated balloon. I agreed with the lady that I was talking to. With that being said the cashier (by the name of EVA decided to take it upon herself to refuse me from exchanging my 1.99 cent sandals for a bigger size saying I was a RUDE customer. I asked to see the manager as she said she was the manager. I asked to see her manager. She made it well known with all the customers around and in a loud voice saying "we have a RUDE customer over here."

NEVER have I (a 74-year-old woman) ever shoplifted or been accused of stealing but a rude, nasty woman who said her name was ** at a 99 Cents Store on 7470 West Lake Mead, Las Vegas NV accused me last night just as the store was about to close. My husband was waiting in line and I was in my wheelchair looking at a few items at the end of an aisle. ** approached me and said to pay for the reading glasses I was wearing that I had bought them years ago and worn them from home. I told her that I had the glasses for sometime and was an honest woman. Her response was that I should not come back to the store if I was not satisfied with the service. Not only did she falsely accuse me but insulted me as well.

Don't use your credit card or they might charge you twice like they did to me. Now I'm trying to get my money back but I'm not having any luck. I'll never shop here again.

Not sure why so many people are complaining. I mostly shop at Costco and I go the 99 Cent Only stores several times a year. I went today, and boy did I find great products. Everything I bought was 99.99 cents, only 2 items were $1.99 and $2.99 and they were clearly marked (one on the label which was at the bottom of the item. I bought a pack of 3 chandelier bulbs from Costco last week for $12. Today I bought 8 chandelier bulbs, 4 packs (2 in a pack) for $4.00. I bought a lipstick holder which has a small narrow mirror inside. For the last 10 years I was looking for this item which almost doesn't exist anymore. It would have been $8 to $10 in any store, here it's 99.99 cents. I could go on and on about the many newer and better products the 99 Cents Store carries. Do you really expect them to keep the 99 cent price for 99 years??? That's the name of the store and they don't want to change it - and they're right.

I am a teacher and shopped on two occasions at 99 Cents store in folsom, ca for my classroom items. Looking at my receipt I noticed several items are $1.99??? I was frustrated. The sign says 99 Cents, that is very misleading. As I spoke to several co workers we no longer shop there. It is deceptive pricing.

I just got back from the store. I noticed on my receipt I was charged $2.99 each for cans of air freshener. Nowhere where the cans were located was a price. I thought they were .99 cents. If you are going to be more, change your name. You are not .99 cents ONLY.

I agree with many of these other reviews from this 99 cent store ONLY stores. It is completely false advertising, when not all items in the store are 99 cents and are 1.99, 2.99 or even more. If this store wants to change prices is fine. But they need to change the name of the store. Many people walk in thinking that everything is 99 cents as it says on their logo. Then when it comes down to pay they see that some items are sold for more money. This isn't right and I would like to create a lawsuit against these chain stores. I'm sure there's many people that would like to join in and that agree with me. They can't continue to get away with this false advertising!!!

This store is called 99 only store. If you look at your receipt items are priced at 99.99 cents.. MAKING ITEMS $1. This is false advertisement all around! If items are NOT 99.99 cents, it's because it COSTS MORE! NOTHING IN THE STORE IS 99 cents!

I applied for 99 cents store. Had an interview. My last name is Hispanic from my husband. They asked me if I was Latina. No my husband is. The Hispanic manager looked away and said "oh I am white" and thought in my head why. He said he liked me and wanted to hire me. I went for second interview. Said they call me to let me know my hire date but has never called me for days. They said they call in 2 days. That's racism that they only want Hispanics. I think when they saw my application that my last name they said a Latina. When they found out I am white and they said never mind. That's racism and I only saw Hispanic employees.

I'm not sure how this is becoming to a legitimate business when you informed the public the nature of a business transaction as it advertise through media, billboards not to mention on the storefront stated everything is 99 cents, and when I got to the checkout stand I was confused because some of the items were not 99 cents. They were 1.99, 2.99 milk, some items were 3.99. This is not even one of the 99 cents plus store. This is one of the 99 cents only store chain here in Victorville, California on 7th Street. Can they run business like that. It's been on for five years now. Why don't they change their sign, business logos and ads so we would be more of understanding how they run their business. All I know 99 cents nothing less, nothing more but 99 cents only. I see that as a fraud.

The sign says 99 cents ONLY. Shouldn't everything be 99 cents. They are selling a lot of items for $1.49 - $1.99. I feel this is false advertisement. They should take the sign down because it's no longer 99 cents only store. It's more like a 99 cents PLUS store. I don't understand how they are getting away with this. It's like saying the Dollar Tree store is not selling everything for a dollar.

Highly aggravating. I was hired Seasonal in 2008 by the manager. Years later I go to reapply for a job at another store. The manager looks at my app and hires me P/T (I stated my previous employment on my app) and tells me she'll call me for orientation. 3 days later she calls and me and tells me she can't hire me after all because the company has a NO RE-HIRE policy. I call corporate 4 times and no one calls me back. I really needed the job for my family. Every store I go into is 99% Hispanic employed and that is clear RACISM!!! Where are the black, white, Asian, Indian employees?! You have nothing but Hispanic managers hiring Hispanic employees who don't speak English. This company is out and openly racist!!!

I applied to the 99 Cents Only Store in Rowland Heights, CA, they called me in for a interview on a Wednesday. That Saturday a Manager called me and told me to go to the Via Campo 99 Cent Store in Montebello for orientation at 10:30 am that Monday. I arrive to my "orientation" to find out that I am actually at a 2nd interview with the District Manager. There were a total of 15 applicants, 14 of them were hispanic and I was the only White one. Everyone was hired and given a schedule, I was told that the manager would be giving me a call that same day or the next morning to let me know what day I am starting. No phone call.

The name of the store is 99 Cents ONLY! And yet they are selling lots of stuff for over 99 cents. This should be illegal! How are they getting away with this for so long now? They put stuff under 99 cents and try and charge you more and then say, "Oh the sign must have fallen down - someone must have removed it, or the staff forgot to put it up." That is not right.

My name is Amanda **. I am 6 months pregnant and fell in one of your stores today around 3:30. (St. 108 Hemet) The associates treated me VERY poorly and one associate that watched me fall simply turned his back to me. It seems the only persons to be concerned were other customers. The associate wouldn't even come over to see if I was okay until another shopper threatened with police. When he came over, we explained that the floor was wet and the associate denied it even though it clearly was wet. We insisted on seeing a manager to file a report. The manager nonchalantly listened to my concerns without even an apology. Once pressing for a report to be made, he asked if I'd like to file one. I asked him to wait one moment while I placed all the items I dropped in my cart which was a couple aisles away. When I returned, he wasn't there.

I'm on a tight budget so yeah I shop at the 99 Store. I put up with the dirty store and rude employees but when they decided to charge more than what they became known for, it wasn't worth it to me. The Dollar Tree carries the same stuff, maybe even better. The stores are clean and the employees are kind. 99 ha! I won't shop there again because I don't have to!

My Credit Union I bank with contacted me to inform me that someone from the 99 Cents Store at 5924 Stockton Blvd Sacramento CA And the 99 Cents Store # 2 Sacramento CA has been using my Visa numbers to purchase everything out of those two stores since 2011 and I have all the statements to show and prove that this has happened to me and will be filing a police report to take further action against the 99 Cents Store... My losses are in the thousands of dollars. And to make matters worse it happened to my young son with his Visa. Same Credit Union a few weeks ago at the same 99 Cents Store in Sacramento. Have statements to prove that also.

While at a 99 Cents Only Stores I only came across great products especially in a time where you cannot buy a box of cereal for a dollar and a gallon of milk for 2.99 or even better a dozen eggs for 99 cents. I would easily spend 15 bucks elsewhere, when at the 99 I only spent 5 dollars. I've read other reviews and some people obviously don't know the value of a dollar or still live with mommy and daddy and get allowance.

First of all we have been shopping at 99 Cents only stores for years on a regular basis, and rarely had any real issues.... until this year. Most issues we have seen are minor in my opinion, and I chalk most up to growing pains. Obviously they have made a lot of changes in pricing recently, which for the most part is not an issue. However some of the new pricing doesn't seem to be calculated well at all. But the way I see it, I can always buy elsewhere if I don't agree with the new pricing structure. What I can't tolerate is the rude, inexperienced, inconsiderate, nasty employees. Because of issues we have had with some of the employees, we do not shop at here as much as we use to.

I usually shop at the 99 Cents store #164, Scottsdale - Thomas. On July 19th I went to the refrigerator to get some creamer, and OMG what a filthy place! I don't think that it has been cleaned since it has opened. The health department needs to be called on this, and I will get in touch with them. This is a very run down store and does need lots of work done on it. Please do something about this. I don't think that I will be going back to that store. Also, the management running the store should be well aware of this, if they indeed the time to check this out! Also why do they charge prices of $1.99, or $2.99 if this is a dollar store. The outside store signs don't indicate this.

I go far out of my way to shop at 99c Only Store, love the selection. Last week I got home and saw several items at $1.99... While at the checkout I asked the cashier, since this is the 99c Only Store, is this 99c?? No, do you want it?? Reporting to consumer reporter at 3TV.

This company is no longer a 99cent only store. For at least 6 months or longer and still have not changed their signs, the word "only" says it all, and is the reason all shoppers go in there. When I asked the clerk about it, she got defensive and said they didn't have to change the sign. Also, I would like to report rotten fruit and vegetables and a lot of outdated foods and juice being sold there. I thought the only food product that was allowed to be sold "outdated" was cheese? When did the laws change regarding selling spoiled and outdated food? This location needs a walk-through.

I don't like that says 99 Cents store, they should change it. Is not 99 Cents anymore. They sell stuff even more expensive. For me Dollar Tree is better. They have everything for a dollar.

The lampson/Valley view store in garden grove has a customer that buys cases upon cases of product. Mainly deli/produce. Several of us believe him to own his own mini market. Some have talked to the manager about this problem, but this man continues to keep others from product. He waits outside the "for employees only" door to snatch product as it comes out.

I know a few African Americans that have applied at the 99 cent store in Downey. I live next door and I try not to go in there. They have hired a bunch of Hispanic people. In the middle of the day they only have two lines open and a lot of people walking around the store like they don't have a clue. I don't understand why they don’t hire any the race other than Hispanic. Not very friendly you know and it's always two lines open. Always saying they're taking applications will never get a call back. I've even seen a few elderly people that were struggling to pull the pallet from the back. I thought it was pathetic and I think they just hire their relatives. I think I will just drive to the next city over or go to the Dollar Tree.

Every time they are hiring, I put an application in which I have done more than once, at different times, even different stores in my neighborhood. I've called and went in to check on the status of my application, and was always told they're still checking the applications out. Now I have worked on cash registers before, dealt with customers as well. I used to work at In & Out Burgers so I know how to do these things. I doubt if everyone they've hired has experience doing what I applied for! Besides that, they can train me to do other things in their store! How hard can it be. Now every 99 cent stores I've been in, I noticed it is nothing but Spanish speaking people and that's how they all communicate with each other. I FEEL I'M BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST THEM BECAUSE I'M WHITE!!

I am in my mid eighties, handicapped, but am presently able to do my own shopping. I bring my own bags and when approaching the cashier I place my items on the belt with a bag in front of each group I wish to have packed. As soon as it is my turn I tell the cashier why the merchandise is sorted in a specific manner, ie: cold items together, heavy items, fewer in bag, etc. This evening I did my weekly shopping, but much to my surprise my request for specific packaging was ignored. The cashier was either untrained, or in her own world as she ignored my request for specific packing of my items, some of which are simply common sense; cold items together, frozen items together, bread and eggs on top so not damaged. I did speak to the young female manager on duty.

Their sign outside says 99 only store and for years they sold all their items at 99 only. Now they sell items priced higher than 99, but the sign outside still advertises 99 only store. This is false advertisement, which is illegal. I asked a clerk and manager about this and their answer was and I quote "We have better quality items now that we have to sell at a higher rate." I was under the impression that when the items were all priced 99 only that the quality should have been the same. Why would any widely known store sell poor quality items to anyone, that's not ethical or considerate. It shows no human care.

This evening, I visited the 99 Cents Only Store, #47, in Reseda, CA. I made my way through the store, and, really, most of the fun is gone. Previously, I knew what to expect for 99 cents, and occasionally, I'd find a bargain! Not anymore! If I find something that looks like a bargain, it's now somehow marked much more than 99 cents, either through a shelf tag, other sign, or a tiny label on the product, or pasted over the bar code. And, if I find a bargain that is clearly marked 99 cents, that doesn't matter. It too, is probably not 99 cents. Such was the case tonight. I was shopping, and stumbled upon Old Spice Cruise Control Forming Creme for hair. I looked around, and it was clearly labeled 99 cents on the shelf tag. I congratulated myself on a good find, and put two of the items in my cart.

I see that many people are complaining about so many items being priced higher than 99 cents. I agree since the store is actually named 99 Cents ONLY store. I just want to help point out that even the 99 cents is not correct because if you look at your receipt, you will see the price is $0.9999 which is MUCH closer to $1. It's only a one cent difference but when you buy hundreds of items in a year, that adds up! And I'm sick of the messy stores & rude employees. It's an awful store chain. I'm very glad to now have a Dollar Tree store nearby... cleaner, neater & easy to return things.

I was the third person in line waiting to check out. There was three behind me and when the manager open another lane he took the person who was behind me and didn't even ask to help the next in line. After helping the people behind me I was still waiting in the same place, I decided to move to his cashier line to check out. Then I asked him politely, why he didn't ask the person in front of me to go to the lane he was opening? His response was that he could do whatever he wanted, he was the Manager and he did the right thing.

I stopped by to purchase 5 helium balloons and was charged $1 for the balloons and an additional fee for the helium. They asked if I wanted them re-inflated but only 2 needed to be re-inflated yet the cashier tells me they have to charge for every balloon. I wouldn't mind if they mentioned it before or they were kept packaged so they wouldn't get damaged. I also dislike the fact that they are pricing merchandise over $.99. The store is called 99 cent ONLY stores wtf!!!!

I shop weekly at my local 99 Cents Only Store for what's not. Over the past few months, more and more items are NOT .99 cents. Even when items are not marked correctly, I am told at register, "oh, that item is 1.49 or 1.79?" The name of the store is 99 Cents Only Store. How is this legal?

I am a regular customer of the 99 cent only store on Lampson/Valley view in Garden Grove. The parking lot and landscaping are literally littered with debris and junk making an unattractive business-like complex. The owners of the store need to take more pride in the outside appearance. The inside could use work also. The aisles are narrow and stuff is stacked on one side of the aisle or other.

No help at the store I shop at. Shows everything in disarray. The store went from a showcase clean and well stocked to empty shelves or messy. Quality control is non-extant in store. Appearance shows and how quickly that happened is beyond me. Corporate is more about the bottom line than consumers who justify the store and its location. Supplies cannot keep up with the demand if no one is there to stock the displays.

I have been working for this store for a long time. We have always had different Managers but recently the entire crew has noticed that the company has stopped hiring in house. The company got rid of our HR Rep which she was the only one we could call with store issues. Now, they hired outhouse for Regional, district, store managers and assistant managers ALL from believe it or not, our competition, The Dollar Tree! Now the new manager is hiring stockers from Dollar Tree too!!! Is this fair?

I use to love shopping @ 99c on Tapo street in Simi valley. I used to go there every day after work and spend $25-70 a day. I have stop going to this location. The supervisors there are rude, disrespectful, unfriendly, and have the worst customer service I have ever experience in my life!! A simple question on a price seems to bother them. It’s almost like the staff is very unhappy with their job and frustrated with the amount of task on hand. I will never go back to this location. They lost my business!! I hope a District manager or a corp member or even a CEO of this company reads and takes some extreme measure to fix the store environment for this location.

As I was pulling up to the $.99 store on LA Avenue, I looked at the clock in the vehicle I was in, it said 945. As a Disabled individual, I wanted to hurry as quickly as I could, however due to my disabilities I am a little slow as to the time in that vehicle to have been off by at least 10 Minutes. As I was walking up hurriedly but by all means not running to the sliding doors, I was a bit excited that I might get the three items that I needed which were close to the front register before the store closed.

I used my debit card to purchase items from the 99 cent only store in Hanford, Calif. I waited to enter my pin number. The cashier, **, told me that you don't have to enter a pin number anymore. I don't like this. Anybody could get my cards and use them without have to use a security number. This was the first time this has ever happened. I feel this should be changed immediately! The store # is 290. 3/31/15 @ 10:47:04 am. Total: $9.15.

I would like to know as many consumers do, why is the .99 only store raising their pricing? The name 99 only is falsified advertising and should be addressed. I am surprised that they have gotten away with it this long. I would like to start a class action suit against them. They are raising many items at 1.99 and there is no change in quantity. I have shopped at this store since we moved here in Las Vegas on 2005. The store is located at: 4920 Ft Apache Rd. Las Vegas, NV. 89178. I am at this store at least 2x a week and have noticed, especially over the last 2 years, of the prices being raised.

The store has always said 99 cent only.. Well, it has become the $1.99 store and over and under.. Their Milk is $2.99.. Eggs are $1.99 a doz.. Grapes are now not 99 cent a pound when before it was a Bag for 99 cents! Name needs to read $2.99 and under.

I was in the Pico Rivera 99 Cents store in Whittier blvd. I wanted to buy 3 bottles of motor oil and they were more than 99 cents, but the shelf where I got them had a price of 99 cents. The supervisor come to see the price, and did not give it to for the price. She just say is 2.99 even if the price was that. She did not care, I think is not correct, she need to have better manners.

Upon entering their store in East Las Vegas the sliding front doors closed on me causing impact to my entire right side. The staff wasn't help at the time, there was an accident report done and I was badgered by the investigator who called from her personal phone, had friends laughing in the background and gave me a bogus # to the corporate office. Very unprofessional!!!

I tried to use a 99 cent store coupon at my local store that was put out by the chain. They said their "system was down" and they could not accept it. I asked if they could give me a rain check and the cashier didn't speak good enough English to know what a rain check was. I asked to speak to the manager but he was not around.

I was overcharged for several seasonal items. I understand that the 99 Cents Only Store does charge more for some items. They post signage stating the item is more than .99 cents. Being tricked into purchasing items that are more than the advertised price of .99 with not posted signage is fraudulent. Then trying to return or exchange the items that were above the implied .99 cents is impossible. This store return policies are fraudulent. They claim they help people by offering quality name brand products for .99 cents ONLY. That is a LIE! The ONLY customer dis-service they have is DIS-service.

Well today 2-23-15 my mom and I bought in the Store st:78 corona in s. Main st & sixth. 725 s. Main st. Corona .ca 91720. And the employ ** was very rude because I forgot my debit card. And she scolded my mom. She is to make the customer feel good and treat it well.

I am a regular customer of the 99 cent only stores here in California. Recently I've seen selected items in the front of the store priced at 1.99. I was looking at my receipt from my last visit, and I was charged 1.79 for strawberries. I did not see any price tag on them and assumed that they were 99 cents. Like all the previous times I've bought them there. I was unaware at the time of my visit, or I would NOT have purchased them. The strawberries are very low quality, usually very ripe, or not ripe enough, and a few of these were even moldy on the bottom!

Only go to the store if you have an hour or more to wait in line and if you like being insulted by the employees. I've been to this location several times and every time, it is a nightmare. After my last visit I have decided not to go back.

This 99 Cent Only store in Carson, CA on University Drive. The team cashier are very helpful. This is the Number Store in STATES. THANKS for putting this 99 Cent Only Store in Carson. This store is closest to my house.

I have bought your bathroom cleaners before many times (under the Rinso name or the other one, I don't see any difference). Well, I'm done. It seems like every time, the can clogs up and stops working, often when it's nearly full. You folks at Momentum brands need to fix this!!!!

I have never been in a store as filthy as this one. Expired food everywhere. The floor in the back of the store was so filthy my shoes stuck to the floor. I had to leave my shoes at the door when I got home. The smell near the fridge section had the most horrible odor, I opened one of the doors, looked at several expiration dates, ALL EXPIRED FOOD. They are going to end up poisoning someone. I was very angry when I ask for the mgr., got the asst. mgr Hector, who was not the least bit interested in my complaint. I intend to turn them in to the health dept.

It's Christmas & the prices all change at reverses. It not the 99 cent store any more.

My neighbor, (a paralegal) with 7 others slept out for two days Oct 21st to be 1 of 9 to get a TV. They allowed 2 drunks in line (white), violent, told blacks if they got caught they'd put out. We weren't allowed to use the bathroom after 10pm & bullied by cops!

I shop your stores all the time, and love them. My problem is with the store on Las Vegas Blvd and Cheyenne. It is a disgrace. Always dirty, boxes stacked everywhere. Last Friday it even had pallets of food sitting out at room temperature. Yogurt and other refrigerate product should not be sitting out so long that they become room temperature. You really need to replace the manager of this store, or at least send him to another store for training. I shop the one on Nellis and Lamb and it is always clean.

Managers at the Pinole, California store actively support sexual discrimination. All the stockers are employed for the same job description but the men only are required to sweep and mop the entire store every night! The men are also required to empty the cardboard bailing machine in the back.

While shopping at the 99 cent only store in San Bernardino off Waterman Ave I have noticed the store restrooms are always out of toilet paper and unsanitary. The employees are rude and the Manager there is totally not professional at all - talks to his employees as if they are little kids. I noticed an employee suggest something to better the store's appearance and he just made a face as if the employee bothered him. This store is known for a lot of stealing and no security guards. I suggest hire a maintenance/janitor to clean the store.

Found a paper item assumed it was 99 cents since its posted, ALL ITEMS ARE 99 Cents or under. At the register it rang up $2.99. I questioned the clerk, she shrugged and rescanned it $2.99. I asked and waited for the manager, she arrived and quoted the sign ALL ITEMS ARE 99 cents or under. But this is not even marked, posted and among other paper items for 99 cents, I replied. I know she said we have problems with this. I asked why prices aren't marked on high items? She said she wondered too. I encountered this twice now at the store in Lakewood and in Hawaiian Gardens. Unless your are paying attention to the register, whatever price they feel like scanning in on items you will be charged. So on items greater than 99 cents, if you catch it at the register, is when you can choose if you want that item or not. I told the manager I will be filing a complaint and she actually encouraged me too. Obviously this is happening a lot. This seems to be an administrative decision. That's disconcerting.

Today when purchasing a pair of socks for my grandson at Store #86 in Moreno Valley... I waited for the cashier named ** to ring me up. She took her time to walk over to me because she was talking to other cashier at another register. When she finally arrived to register #08 (7:51am Thurs 10-23-14) she scan my socks, place the socks in a bag... never said to me "Hello" or told me the price... I seen the price and used my Debit card. The cashier placed the bag with the socks on the counter and never said Thank you to me for the purchase? I said to her... "So you say hello to the next customer, but not to me or say Thank you?" ** answered by saying, "Hush".

The manager refuses to clean the store. The corporate office doesn't seem to care either. The floors are always dirty. Flies are constantly flying around the fruit. Spoil items are left in the barrels. In my opinion the store has not been mopped since the store opened some years ago. However, there are some very nice and clean stores in San Antonio, Texas but not this one on Walzem Road.

The 99 cent only store in Pomona Calif. 606 E. Holt Ave, has much to be desired. This particular store is not managed properly. The first impression falls way below a 5 on the 1-10 scale. It is not clean, very disorganized, dirty floors and the aisles are loaded with many boxes of merchandise that are not put on the shelves. A customer cannot go through the aisles without banging the boxes and a person coming from the other direction cannot pass. This looks more like an outlet than a store. The store certainly does not have any pride or good impression for people when they walk in. The store is constantly announcing to the public that they are looking for help.

The new store located in Downey ave and Alondra in Bellflower, Ca 90706 was open last Saturday 9/27/14 and today Wednesday 10/1/14 the manager is in vacation (?). The supervisor left at 5:00 pm and I been there at 9:30 pm and was one person named ** that really had a bad attitude with the customers. She moves customers from one cashier to other one and had bad mood with clients.

The 99cent only store should not have the right to be call that. Wine is 599, vases are 199 and the employees keep the good stuff for themselves at this store: 1190 E. Carson St, Long Beach, CA 90807. I'M MAD ABOUT IT.

I bought 2 loaves of bread. The tag on the shelf said 99 cents. When I got to the register, I was expecting to get 2 pennies back as change when I gave the clerk 2 dollars. The ticket rang up exactly 2 dollars. When I asked why I didn't get any change back, the clerk said it was store policy to round up the price. I took a closer look and instead of ringing up .99 it rang up .9998 for each loaf of bread, the register automatically rounds to the nearest dollar after 4 decimal places apparently. Imagine if someone did a lot of shopping at this store and the pennies added up. This is false advertising if you ask me.

I filled up the car with gas, super, and pour Raylube fuel injector cleaner in the tank, bought from 99 cents. Engine stop running less than two miles in traffic stopping everybody. Police officer screaming push the car out two cars behind. After two weeks fight, two new fuel pumps hard diagnostics, relays, fuses, nothing, still no start. Everything looked right but no start. Finally replaced the gas with new and turn the key... Engine started at once!

99 Cents Store on Fletcher Parkway El Cajon, CA - Spent $39.00 today, bought mini Hostess chocolate donuts. 6 year old granddaughter took one bite and said they were nasty. I tasted and there was a horrid, rancid chemical taste. This is not the first time something I purchased there was spoiled! I will NEVER shop there again! Everyone should avoid this place like the plague. If my granddaughter or I become ill tonight I will be contacting an attorney. Going to have the donuts tested and report to the health department. DISGUSTING!

While shopping at my local 99 cent store, who clearly posts a large sign above the entrance...stating it is a 99 cent only store, I became aware of some articles had previous stamps of a higher price, which indicates it must be reduced in price to be sold in this particular store. When I was checking out, I immediately saw that I was being charged the higher prices for the non-food products. When I questioned the clerk why it was $ 1.49 & or $1.29, for these items, her first reply was because they are not food. Giving her an example of other non-food products in my multiple variety of items, she quickly changed the reply to... well maybe because they are new items. As I continued to ask questions of her, she continued to ring up my purchases. When I requested to speak to the manager, she ignored me and I had to repeat my request. Seems the manager wasn't available at that time.

I returned to work after being out per dr. orders. When I returned I realized I was being taken out of the system, in other words they were firing me, which they did. And neither the (idiot) of a store mgr nor the district mgr had the balls to tell me to my face. I found out from another employee... and if you're a female and get pregnant, watch out they don't want you and will get rid of you. EEOC would have a field day w/ this company. I'm considering an attorney. If there is one out there that is familiar with this company and their wrongdoing, contact me.

I've already had several problems with this store before. One being the none diversity of its employees. This community is VERY diverse which is why I like living in Lemon Grove in the first place. But all you see working here is Hispanic. No white, no Filipino, No any other nationality. There were two black workers there that disappeared. Now I've witnessed them leaving the back of the store piling things in the back of their trunks in cars parked across the street. Uhh, what about the customers?? Because after witnessing that I went in the store to see if it would be any inside. The boxes NEVER made it into the store.

Still had radiation and iodine treatments, sent all my paper work in on time. Then was denied unemployment, had to go in front of a judge at EDD. I won my case but still haven't got any money. I'ts been over 5 months. I feel that I have been wrongfully punished for getting thyroid cancer and my job should have been waiting for me. I have just found out the 99 Cents Store in my area fired all of the top corporation employees. I'm not sure why but what I went through and how I was treated and not taken care of, I feel I well maybe have to sue this company. I have so much information. I feel I'm in the right. I hope someone reads this. I was a manager and was a very hard worker.

The new 99 cent store in Rancho Cucamonga that opened in June is a horrible place to work.

I was shopping at the store on San Carlos street in San Jose, California. I put a glass bottle of green apple soda pop in my cart. Right after I purchased the item, the bottle blew up and cut my right foot badly. There was blood all over, and the cashiers just stood there frozen. I couldn't even walk, the items that I bought I couldn't take home, and I put them on my Discover card, and still have not been credited yet, obviously I am disputing the charge. I was picked up by an ambulance, after the store manager called them, and said that 99 Cents Store would pay due to this injury being no fault of mine, and it taking place in the store.

I am a regular shopper at the 99 Cents store at South Fort Apache and 215 Beltway in Las Vegas NV 89148. Recently the last couple of times I have gone shopping I have been asked for money in the front of this store by homeless people. I kindly decline and go about my merry way. Today this woman approached in the store asking for money. I once again kindly declined. Then she grabbed my arm. I let her know to kindly take her hand off of me. She said she would get me kicked out of the store. Because I had way too many items in my cart, I went to the cashier. I told her what she looked like and then the same woman was asking other shoppers for money. The cashier's name was **. My receipt number is **, purchased 49 items on 08.13.2013. The cashier ** thanked me for letting her know but did nothing.

I am a regular 99c customer, and on many occasions I have witnessed the employees holding back on putting all items on display, example, gallon bottles of orange juice, large bottles of ice tea, other items that aren't always in stock. As the employee cracks open the box, sees what's there... starts speaking Spanish to their co workers and the hiding begins... It's very rude to the customers. If they want to deals first, why don't they open the boxes before they come to the floor? This is a problem at several stores...

I visit your store in Missouri City at least twice a week and with 6 grandkids I spend about $50 each visit. I am so disgusted that there is normally 2-4 employees talking to each other and not checking customers out. When I ask those clerks who are talking to open up a cash register they say the only cashier working needs to call for help. The line could be out the door and yet clerks stand on the floor talking like, "Damn you I don't care how long the line is. My conversation is much more important." This is horribly pathetic, but I found a solution. Dollar Tree has a lot more cashiers who will wait on me and the line are not hanging out he door. You need to train all employees that the customers are important to your success.

The manager of the 99cent Only Store at the Huntington Park in Pacific Boulevard and Randolph (6124 Pacific Blvd, Huntington Park, CA 90255) is profiling black people when they go into that store. He contacts security to walk around the store and watch them. I’m sure it makes them; it’s a Hispanic 99cent store. He is running around the store with security. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. While he is doing all this, Spanish women are shoplifting milked cans and other items. All I have to say is wow!

99 Cents Store-606 E. Holt Ave Pomona, CA - Management and security officer need to report the loiters in their parking lot. It is becoming dangerous and we cannot just leave it to the police. Managers of any store should be held responsible for anyone outside their front door begging for money, insisting for a hand out and walking the customer to their cars to get any freebie they can! The loitering population is increasing and I feel that it will only be stopped when something terrible happens. The drug dealers and prostitutes are parading around, cussing at each other and blocking the parking lots spaces talking to their friends. It is not safe at this location! People are afraid to go into the stores now in this strip mall. But this particular store is creating more of the undesirables to hang around and bring more problems to the area. 99 Cent store regional managers or corporate office needs to address this issue!

I work for an inventory company that conducts inventory for retail and financial stores. Just last night, I was conducting inventory for the 99 cent store here in Las Vegas, Nevada. The manager for the 99 cent store that was in charge of the inventory thought it was okay to speak to me completely in a rude way. Since the night started, he was completely rude and disrespectful to his own employees. At first, I didn’t think anything of it, and it was one of those situations that you just had to look past. But when I made a mistake with my inventory count, he started yelling at me in front of everyone working inventory and that was there employed by the 99 cent store. When I told him that I wasn’t going to allow him to speak to me like he does his own employees, he called my boss to the front and told him he wanted me to leave because I was talking back to him.

I purchased a package of salted and roasted peanuts in the shell from my local 99 Cent store. As I began eating the nuts, I sensed a strange taste - a taste and smell of paint. I was puzzled, and checking online, I found out that this is the result of the nuts being rancid. I checked the package, but there was no mention of a freshness date. We got sick that night with vomiting and diarrhea. I contacted the producer who advised me that retailers dictate what they do or do not want on their packaging, however there was a "code". She interpreted the code which told us the nuts were past their expiration. Seems 99 Cent stores want to maximize their profit by hiding this very important safety information. Buyer, beware.

I recently shopped at my neighborhood 99 cent store San Diego CA and while in line to pay, I watched a little girl of about 8 or 9 years of age pick up some "fuzzy handcuffs" and run over to her mom to see if she could buy them for her. We as a society are so desensitized that we don’t think anything of these types of toys anymore. However, it saddened me to see that this innocent young girl, who didn’t know she was holding a sex toy in her hand, thought of it as a fun toy or something.I was with my husband so as he stayed in line, I walked over to the display, which is right in the front of the cashier station as you walk in along with valentine cute toys. I asked an employee about it, if possibly they had made a mistake by putting it out on display that way. She said that it was on their map of merchandise to stock in general view. Wow!

I purchased some dry food items yesterday to make brownies for my daughter's class party. I found out later that day that four others were bringing brownies, so I decided to take the items back to exchange for marshmallows so that I could make rice crispy treats instead. I was told by the manager that their policy is that they do not take back food items. I have never seen anything in writing that states that and I just wanted to exchange for something else and not get my money back, plus I had just bought it yesterday and I had my receipt too. The stores need to have their return/exchange policy printed on their receipts. Now, I don't even want to buy anything there because I don't know if I would be able to return or exchange it if I need to.

I went to shop at your store. As usual, your customer service employees stink. I asked what isle is something in or looking for a particular product. I was totally ignored or they wouldn’t even ask a coworker to help me, the customer. They don’t speak English. I have made 2 applications there at the same store which I doubt are still there. I bet my life on it. Yet, they will hire poor customer service people with no skills and don’t speak the English language. You should go and see how many of them work there and you will see half of them either ignore you or say “I no no”.

I was shopping in your store #297 (Pinole, CA) on September 25, 2011. I slipped and fell in some standing water that was on the floor. I filed a complaint and have not heard from anyone concerning the situation. I shop in this store about 2 or 3 times a week. All the manager did was call my house, asked how to spell my name and did I wear glasses. She told me that they had cameras and they would review them. It seems like I would have heard from someone on how I am doing. If this is the way that the 99 Cents Only Store treat their customers, it is too bad. I am very friendly with your employees and the ones that were not there on that day, I will inform them of what happened. Your manager at this store needs to be replaced. Since they changed managers in this store, the store is very unclean and dirty. I do not care what anybody says. There should not have been standing water on the floor. I guess I will have to take this further. It was a bad experience.

I have been trying to have someone contact me about an incident that happened to me at the 99 cent store a year ago. I was accused by one of the workers there for stealing. She yelled across the customers, "was I going to pay for what I put in my pocket?" I ignored her because I didn't think she was talking to me. When she was finished with the customers, she came from around the register, stood in my face and asked me if I was going to pay for what I put in my pocket. I told her that I didn't take anything so she asked me to take out what was in my pocket, which was half pack of a cigarette and my lighter.

The manager refused to honor the price on display for the Martinelli Sparkling Cider 250 ml and Martinelli Sparkling Apple-Pomegranate 250 ml. The price on display is $0.59 while the price at the counter is $0.99. What a waste of my time. The cashier and the manager were not very cooperative or customer friendly.

The store states 99 cents for all items. When you get cash receipt from store, it says item .9998 as the price. I bought 16 items at 99 cents. Bill should have been $15.84 but receipt states the bill is $16.00. This does not seem correct, I overpaid .16 cents.

I purchased some frozen ground turkey for dinner on 5-04-10. An hour later I got violently ill with vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps and dizziness & pain. I was driven to the UCI Medical Center in Orange County for "gastroenteritis" caused by food poisoning (exposed to tainted food). I was instructed to file a customer incident report for Store #187 located in Fullerton, CA. I have attached and submitted for investigation medical reports, all billings, including lost wages due to this illness, and follow-up letter from 5-4-10. I was told by their legal department that the process would take about 21 working days (I am now entering my 100th day, without any communication).

It was a long time since I went back, and now only w/ cash - which is inconvenient, and not available as my debit card.
