Family Dollar in Springdale, AR

My husband and I saw a stray kitten go down a storm drain. We drove across the street to the nearest Dollar General to purchase some tuna and I informed the female cashier of our errand and asked if I could borrow some scissors to cut the top off of a water bottle so I also had a makeshift water bowl. She acted like I was interrupting her conversation and didn't want to let me use them and as I walked out, she began grumbling about me and remarked to the younger male employee that she should have charged me, not realizing that the man in the checkout line was my husband. He politely inquired how much we owed for the use of the scissors, and she got flustered. How would you even put a price on that?!?We frequent Dollar General at least three times a week, and I am sure that it isn't company policy to treat customers as irritants because usually we are treated with respect. Her behavior was abrasive and unexpected. Who decides to be rude to someone who is purchasing food from your company to save a stray kitten?!? Absolutely ridiculous. That kind of behavior does not make me want to go back to that location. She definitely needs retraining on the definition of customer service! 8/21/15 8:45 PM
