I realize I am part of the problem by even entering the place. Has anyone here actually sat and had a drink at Peck's? Does that check cashing place next door really do that well?

One reason that Family Dollar is not as neat as you
might like it is they don't have enough employees....
just like Kohl's .
The Manager in Famiy Dollar is a woman named Donna
who is nice and easy to deal with. I had a return
recently and she exchanged the item without any
problem....try doing that at some of the stores
where they can hardly speak english.
Family Dollar also recently began selling milk
and eggs so STOP OVER PAYING at the 7-11. I
also found the milk less expensive than Acme.
I only priced it there once.
As for Ace Check Cashing....at times I use
money orders and they provide them at NO CHARGE.
A money order at the nearby Citizens Bank is
about $2.00 . These two businesses serve a purpose
for us here.
Did anyone notice that up from Family Dollar
the second hand store SECOND EXPRESSIONS has
closed ? The store-owner there, Joyce, has
retired. I believe she was there for fourteen
years. She always had a little stand ouside
with books and toys. A friend of mine donated
about twenty dresses to Joyce about a year ago.
Beautiful dresses that my friend paid over a
hundred dollrs for (each)...Joyce was selling for
just ten bucks. A couple of months ago I was
in there and there was no heat. She said the
heater was broken; Joyce was wearing three
coats from her own stock. For those who don't
know, Joyce was a restaurant owner for over
twenty years near Jefferson Hospital in center
city. GOOD-BY JOYCE....Good Health to you in
your retirement.....we will miss you !
