Complaint Review: Buck Dollar Stores/Buck Dollar Develpers

Nice to see good ole Charles aboard the good ship BARARA. Charles, don't get in such a snit. This is one post where nobody is here to bash you! Join the fun! GO BUCK STORES! GO BUCK STORES! Where's Karl and Rik? All aboard everyone! Karl, BARARA's rich husband is probably one of the financial kingpins you ought to write a poem about. Why is the Pacific Northwest always so prone to mentally unstable people and serial killers? Is it the dark, brooding pine trees? The endless rain? Looks lie the fun is probably over. BARARA's responses have dwindled to almost nothing after the initial flurry. Have to wait for the next nutcase to post a wild tale.

Well I am not going to respond anymore,
- I had a dollar every time Charles said that.  I could actually retire and stop working for all of the companies that people accuse me of working for.

   you like the OP will continue to post even though you've promised not to.



   you like the OP will continue to post nonsense and then try to defend it as gospel.

  

   you like the OP will continue to view your self as a victim whne you are indeed the problem.





   As far as me bringing your name into it, how many posts have you injected yourself into and tried to bring the post around to you, your situation and your meaningless ramblings??? I dare say everyone you've posted on. And I guess that supposition will have to stand as we all know that you'll follow your word and NOT post again

Reply to Striderq why must you bring,   my name In other peoples complaints this Is such childish behavior It isn't even funny anymore I will never go away I will continue to post complaints.  I guess this Is just a tactic to get me to respond.

Well I am not going to respond anymore,  If I fine my name has been brought up.  In other peoples complaints.

I say that because she simply cannot get here story straight, and will defend each lie right to the end.



And it amazes me that someone with such vast financial resources could be such a blithering illiterate moron.



This "Barbara" person barely has a grasp on a third grade vocabulary.



Successful people are never illiterate in public, because if they know they are illiterate, they pay someone else to do all writing for them. And, ROR has spell check, but you are such a blithering sociopathic idiot that you are too stupid to use it.



So please don't "waist" you time here anymore, or ours. You already proved that you are a moron and a liar. "Waist" is the thing you put your belt around. Stupid.

Hey if you are serious about helping someone with a job please be free to contact me.

   Rereading this post and following the ever changing story of the name changing OP. I think I have finally figured out exactly what's happening here. Instead of all of us working for Buck I think Barbara is/was the employee. She either did not get that dime per hour raise she wanted or she was fired for incompetence. She striking out at the store in the only way she can.     

   She claims that we "Buck employees" all all the time to respond and yet she's constantly here answering all posts, even after several "last time I post" responses.  I would think if the situation happened as she originally posted she would either have forgotten it and wrote the money off on taxes or tried to sue. At this point she should be busy running her current economic empire but she'd rather stay here arguing about this piddling amount.

   By the way did you really mean "Scuffle" or were you trying to write "Shuffle"????



   It's official here boys and girls. OP is a troll and we all know we shouldn't feed the trolls. Somebody please call Karl, I really think the post needs one of his poems. Or maybe Charles can help defend Barara.

How come your big bad mall magnate mate doesn't chime in to defend his deranged mistress? Do either he, or his many malls, even exist, other than in your sick imagination? Whenever I get a few minutes to play around, I'll keep playing catch with you, because at this point, it fantastically amuses me. There are folks who post here, whether I agree with them or not, who I can feel empathy with and sympathy for, even if I feel bound to call them out. you however, I feel no such thing. I don't give a rats butt hole at this point what your problem is. Tonight, I finally made it through an hour in our local dollar store without getting the giggles, so I'm so over you, baby! Now take the name of your favorite dollar store chain, change the B to an F and "dollar-store-name" YOURSELF!

I am offering you real help due to your obvious low IQ and very definate mental problems. Just show your true identity and I will get yo the help you need. Neither you or Buck will come forward but I will show my real identity to help you and at the same time I am willing to forgive Buck Dollar if you just apologize for your lies,
Barbara

That would include maniacal shopping mall magnate wives who have nothing better to do than constantly scan RR for critical rebuttals to their ridiculous posts. (Sound Effects: Raspberries)

Those of you that having nothing to but sit up every day and night
looking over complaints that have nothing to do with you must be very
desperate for attention. If your not Buck employees (and you probably
are ) you need some real help. If you leave your true identity I will
offer to pay for the mental health help that you must need.

BARBARA

In the interests of fair and balanced reporting, I'm going to acknowledge that Buck Dollar Stores has 2 other RR reports on them this year, both of which were answered by them with a very uninformative, form letter like response on June 16th, which basically stated they didn't know what customers the 2 posters were referring to and how proud of their BBB rating they were. The basic issues these other 2 store seekers had centered around the wholesale prices Buck showed for merchandise and store development/locating issues. I'm not going to bother with the links. Anyone searching Buck Stores will get all 3 posts. Does this prove to you, Dear Ms Babs (or Babbles as it were) that we do not, any of us, work for Buck? We can expect the same canned response from them probably in a couple of months since they appear to look for posts against them once in a blue moon, and that was already done 2 weeks ago. Now I'm not suddenly agreeing with the complaints made against them, just pointing out that Buck is probably not an angelic victim here. I think these other two store seekers also expected too much in some areas. God forbid they should be offered 2nd hand store fixtures. They're not looking to open Saks 5th Avenue. It's a freaking dollar store for heaven's sake! The margins aren't so great thru Buck? Well, you can always open a non-chain mom and pop shop and buy from where you want. Part of the cost of being a franchisee is having that name-brand store association. Your margins may be lower but you're expected to make it up in volume due to name recognition. End story is, BARARA, you are still very much a tool! Maybe you ought to go with Buck after all. You're both beginning to look like a good fit.

Barbara, if your last screaming post you stated "A LEGIT COMPANY WOULD NOT SPENDING SO MUCH TIME DEFENDING THEM SELVES UNLESS THEY CAN NOT." If we are to accept this pearl of wisdom as true that would mean that you are NOT a legit company as you have been spending so much time defending yourself unless you can not (I think I know what you mean but I'm not sure what you typed).  If you read some other, older posts here on ROR you will find everyone that's posted on your report has posted on reports from other people about other companies. And strangely when they disagree with the OPs opinion they are accused of working for said company. It's a tired ploy used by someome who has nothing of value and true to contribute. But please, continue to ignore your threats to stop posting. Your responses are very funny. I just have to make sure I'm not drinking as I don't want to shoot the liquid through my nose.





And since I knew it's coming. I've never heard of Buck Dollar store before your post, Never seen/been in a Buck Dollar Store and certainly have never worked for Buck Dollar Store.

*busts out laughing as no one can figure out what I'm saying*  Trolling is an art.  :3

and just go away.  No one that responded to your report is an employee and seeing that you cannot handle the responses pack up your toys and go home.

You have just experienced the Kansas City Scuffle-While you were making people look the other way instead of talking about the complaint-I play the Kansas City Scuffle on you. Know I have a list of all your suppliers and all your customer.s. Just say your sorry for what you did and I will go away.

B

You should see this movie. I just played the Kansas City Shuffle on you guys. While you were spending time answering all of this nonsense-you just gave me names of all you suppliers and all your clients. An apology will stop all these games. Not from me but from Buck Stores. You know what you did to me and you should just say your sorry. Money, time means nothing to me. Ready to quit before this gets serious. I am. Just say your sorry.

B

WHY WOULD A BIG COMPANY LIKE YOURS WANT TO CONTINUE PLAYING THIS GAME UNLESS I HAVE HIT A NERVE ABOUT THE WAY YOU DO BUSINESS?  A LEGIT COMPANY WOULD NOT SPENDING SO MUCH TIME DEFENDING THEM SELVES UNLESS THEY CAN NOT.  THE MORE YOU WRITE ABOUT BEING A NUT CASE THE MORE PEOPLE WILL FORGET ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS THAT STARTED ALL THIS. YOU MUST BE NERVOUS. I AM OFF RIP OFF AND NOW LOOK FOR ME ON FACE BOOK AND UTUBE.

B

I keep hoping to see Buck Stores post a rebuttal. I'd really look forward to read their experience of this "person". I'm just too lazy to contact them and draw this posting marathon to their attention.

Barbara (Barara?) this is a prime example of your narcissism again becoming abundantly evident.
.
"You DID know"?  "You didn't know"?  Confusion again in your posted drivel. The only people to whom you present any interest are those of us here on ROR  following your contradictory,  idiotic dialogue. Honestly, IMHO one of the last  entries now discloses touch of paranoia coming in to play. Do you really think any business would consider you of significant importance or pose a threat so as to have their staff chase you around on the Internet? (Consider that a rhetorical question. Obviously you do.) 
.
Primarily ROR gives a forum where one may post legitimate data concerning real world scams and 'ripoffs'.  One of the secondary inducements that draws interest to ROR is cornball idiocy such as you furnish. ROR actually represents a dual purpose and value. In its primary service providing this valuable information  ROR
also (secondarily, inadvertently)  provides comedic relief from the pressures of daily life by fatuous  postings such as yours.  
.
 Please continue with your puerile  "this is the last" postings. We're waiting.
.
 ROR: 'Ya gotta' love it!  Thanks, Ed!

I think this needs to be said again... Obaasan wa oroka na ningen.  :)

Lady, you are a blithering idiot and you really goofed up by claiming you have influence over certain businesses.  Anyone with ANY business sense would NOT go on a public forum and post the things you have.  I will give you the benefit of doubt and say what you have claimed is true, and therefore I say again, lady, you are a blithering idiot.

Thanks. I did know all three of the Buck dollar store employees could care so much about little me.
You got it right, I am broke and live in a small trailer. No wonder you open so few new stores. You just like picking on me. Someday I may just surprise you. Take care, I enjoy the fun.
B

Hey Barara (as you misspelled your own name a few posts back)! (Sound Effects: Raspberries Noise). Whatta nutcase! I'll never be able to go into a Dollar store again and keep a straight face. Every time I make eye contact with anyone there, I'll end up thinking of dear sweet BARARA! Are you in Portland, Oregon or Portland, Maine? I'd like to know which one to avoid ever stepping foot in.

QUOTE: "You would be surprised what money can buy".
.
 Between throwing out undeserved insults to other contributors you just can't seem to stop talking about money. I have known some truly wealthy people and couples, and the one thing they had in common was a total lack of any references to their wealth or position(s). 
.
Why do I picture you living in a single wide 25 year old house trailer? Oh yeah...I remember. They were the ones that yammered on about how much they knew and vainly attempted to impress others with talk of their pseudo wealth.
.
Barbara, you come across as a narcissistic, egotistical, self-centered blow-hard. I feel compelled to deliver this information as you've opened the door to "taking the gloves off" (verbally), delivering the plethora of insults you've posted to others. 
.
I can only ask myself, if your husband is so wealthy, why in hell has  he settled for the likes of you?
.
Listen: The trailer park is calling its trash.

Obaasan wa oroka na ningen.  :)

It is time to stop spending my time and Buck's time. You all win. Buy a Buck Dollar store. They have shown how great they are as owners. For those responding please buy a store from Buck. They have convinced me that they are wonderful. Please how do I sign up? I need more donations to put my money into.

B

Accusing a company of ripping them off $1400 (which they did not do) is not an indication of a seasoned professional. Your report is full of holes and inconsistencies as noted by Robert and voiceofreason. You posted three replies after you wrote, "This will be my last comments to you idiots." Then you wrote, "STOP INSULTING ME". Practice what you preach.

You must be a real sweetheart for work for.

I have inside knowledge of what they have done in their attacks on me

Post the proof here!  You claim to have contacted ROR and they provided you information on the rebuttals.

Post your email to ROR and the ROR reply!

Now you continue to claim to have "inside knowledge."  What tripe!

Your credibility is now dead.  Your second shot successfully killed it.

LMAO!  It's amazing how some folks will continue to spew nonsense after they're called on it.  You couldn't keep your story straight and now you continue with your lies.

Post the proof!  Take your time, we'll wait.

I have inside knowledge of what they have done in their attacks on me. You would be surprised what money can buy. Why do you care? You just sit there every night with nothing else to do? I am sorry you have such a boring life. If you need medical help or a job. Leave me your number.

BARBARA

Just because people disagree with you on here doesn't mean they work for Buck Dollar.  Herp derp.

This shows that Buck Dollar proves they are involved with all the negative things that were said about me. Yes I misspelled a few word but so did you. THANKS FOR LETTING EVERY KNOW THAT THE THINGS I BROUGHT UP ABOUT BUCK DOLLAR IS TRUE. Does my real identity really matter. I don't care what anyone thinks about me but thanks for showing everyone that I said about BUCK DOLLAR IS TRUE.

BARARA

Quote: My husband has a net worth of over 500,000 million dollars...

That would be $500,000,000.00   9 figures?    Not likely.   

 If your family has that kind of wealth, why are you so upset over a mere $1400.  That is such a small percentage of what you allude your husband to be worth so as to be nearly incalculable. Chump change to a major retailer and a very small part of what would be normal expenses in expansion research and advertising.

Quote: If any one can tell what company out there building dollar stores are more professional, please let me know. 

Merely 'Google' "dollar store franchises" and there are 5 pages of
information.

Now you're just egging us on, making this a fun project to see how flustered we can make you, and how ridiculous. you've just given Buck Stores ammo to get you in serious trouble should anything you do affect their relationship with their suppliers. You just made a public record of your threat to interfere with their trade, which under some circumstances could be a serious crime. Please list all your stores and shopping malls here, so that we know where not to go to shop. I'll grant the poster who mentioned the benefits of showing up unannounced has a point. Yes, you can throw the other company off their game, if that's what you desire, by showing up without warning. But, it's not like you're a child welfare inspector who wants to make sure abusive parents don't have time to cover up bruises, or a cop, who stages a surprise raid so drug dealers don't have time to stash their goods. You ostensibly were a potential franchise buyer for whom they may have needed time to put a tailor made plan together for, depending on the prospective location, size, demographics, expectations, what-have-you of your planned store. If your stock in trade methodology of doing business is to be sneaky, not-upfront and possibly underhanded (again, your vengeful threats to harm their business), then they are lucky to have lost your business. I'd love to see you prove to everyone here how Robert and I work for Buck. You're not only misrepresenting Ripoff Reports, but Buck Stores too. You're basically libeling them right now with your utterly unproven, and unproveable, claims. And my spelling don't matter for a hill of beans. I'm not the big time wheeler dealer mall owner.

That's the sound of your credibility flushing down the toilette.

I followed up with Rip Off Report and tracked down that some of these insults are coming from your company.

Sure you did.  I don't think so.  Go ahead and post the email from Ed that states this nonsense.  ROR is not in the habit of looking up IP addresses and such for folks who claim they are going to sue ROR let alone look them up for someone who is merely INSULTED by a rebuttal.

You're a tool.  Don't think for a minute that anyone believes that you're the wife of someone worth over $500 million.  You're credibility is shot and you're the one who pulled the trigger.

Thank you for sticking up for me. I thought I was done with this company and this web site. The Buck Store rep that wrote that I could not spell should also look at their own spelling . NO and Know are two different words. Try learning how to spell yourself before telling me that I made a mistake. I own over 17 retail stores with a net worth of over 10 million dollars. I find out the truth about a company that I am thinking about buying by not showing my true real name and just showing up without an appointment to see what I am dealing with. I also own 3 large shopping centers and easily could start my own Dollar Development company and do away with a small fry like you. My husband has a net worth of over 500,000 million dollars and would be glad to test your survival against his anger for insulting me and may do just that.I only pointed out what I had discovered on my own. Insult me again and I will make sure your suppliers stop selling to you any merchandise  Some are Bargain Wholesale. Four Seasons, Kole Imports and Concord. These are just a few that I have great influence over. My husband is one the largest importers in LA and New York and has great connections with at least 100 close out buyers , wholesalers and more resources you may be using. I pretend to be weak but one more insult from a Buck Employee will cause my husband to get very upset. You started the insults and we will be glad to stop them legally. I followed up with Rip Off Report and tracked down that some of these insults are coming from your company. I will leave you alone and wish you luck in the future and not judge you by a few insults. I suggest you stop insulting me and I will go away.

Frankly, arriving unexpectedly without an appointment might be the wise thing to do.

This gives the company no time to assemble their crack team of "franchise sales staff", who, being in commissioned sales, would doubtless be talented in blowing smoke up your anal orifice.  You probably avoided an arm-twisting go-around with a bunch of high pressure bums.

Franchises in general are usually marketed quite aggressively. Their web site isn't exactly low key, and contains more hype than meaningful information.

JMHO

Nah nah nah nah nah! Why the h&*l didn't you check up on their stores before making such a trip. You've know told us all we need to know about you. You can't spell. You're a babyish name caller. You have no discipline, flying out across the country on a lark, a whim and impulse without first making appointments. Rest assured, I'm sure none of us "idiots" will "waist" our fingertips and keyboards on you any more. I giggle at the thought of you running a business and dealing with customers and suppliers. Woe be unto them, in advance.

This will be my last comments to you idiots. I did say they seemed nice at first. But when I got to the office and started discussing what they had promised they could do for me they were rude when I asked too many questions. And why should I have to explain to any of you why I was excited and flew down to Florida at a spur of the moment. Why should I waist time shopping for a discount. They had me convinced they were the best and I wanted to get down there ASAP. I tried calling most of their stores that they listed in the towns that the stores were in and some were out of business, some had major complaints about the company and a few were content. Your remarks are for sure written by a Buck Store Employee, other wise why would you care and why would you be defending them. PLEASE, ANY ONE THAT READS THEIR DISPUTE OF HOW I WAS TREATED. GO AND SEE  FOR YOUR SELF OR LOOK UP THE PHONE NUMBERS OF THEIR REFERENCES LISTED ON THEIR WEB PAGE AND CALL THE OWNERS. I called about 50 and stopped. DON'T BE FOOLED THESE COMMENTS ATTACKING  ME ABOUT MY REASONS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BUCK BECAUSE BUCK STORE MUST BE THE ONES TRYING TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD-YOU THE CONSUMER CAN DECIDE FOR YOUR SELF. I am still looking for a good and honest dollar developer if there is one.

BARBARA-THE END

In your original post you say YOU decided to fly out there unannounced, then you change it to they convinced you to fly out there.  If they convinced you to fly out there don't you think they would have actually made an appointment?

In your original posts all we know is that it was your husband that made the first contact and we don't even know if you even talked to them at all.  Yet it is now they somehow convinced you to come out to see them.

In your original post the staff was friendly, now they were rude.  Just how does that work?

You loose any credibility you had if you can't even keep your story straight from post to post.  Nothing you have written shows that they Ripped you off.  I am not an employee and as I stated have zero knowlege of this company.  I am also not the idiot in this post.  After all I didn't spend $1,400 in airfair to fly out there unannounced without doing some basic research first.  If you were a true business owner at the very least you would have shopped around for better fares.  You can find totally refundable air fares in the $1,000 range, and even by plannning a couple weeks in advance you would have no problems finding discounted fares in the $500-$700 range, sometimes even less.

To quote your original post, "the staff seemed very friendly but they were completely shocked that I just dropped in without calling 1st". They were friendly, but they were rude? Friendly, rude people, huh? You're a real corker, you know that? I applaud them for putting more into their business than into their offices. So many companies get run into the ground while their CEOs indulge in palatial headquarters. Fly across the country without making an appointment first! What a maroon! They were a "waist" of your time? Learn to spell check if you expect to pass business plans to prospective investors and lenders, by the way.

They convinced me to fly to Florida at my expense and they would show me stores and show me how successful I would become. There office is a shack and the people were very rude. No they did not get their hands on my money but I trusted them enough to fly to Florida. For those that don't think I got ripped off you must be their employees or absolute idiots.

Barbara

This company did not rip you off.

First off it does not appear you gave them a single penny.  It was your choice to fly across the country unannounced, and from what you wrote it wasn't even you who had made the first contact with them it was your husband.  You mentioned that you called the references listed on their web page, and they were invalid.  Okay why didn't you do that BEFORE you spent $1,400 to fly out there?

I have no idea who this company is, if they are any good at what they do or not.  But on the surface it just sounds like another business opportunity that is probably not for everyone.  The business that failed, how do you know it was because of this company?  Perhaps those people just couldn't manage a business?

I will say one thing about the company though.  If they in fact do have out of date references on their web site that does look bad, where they probably need to work on keeping those current and valid.

I know there must be some out there that can help me but I am also convinced I can not do this on my own
- Based on what you have written here I would have to agree with you.  If for no other reason than you talking about flying out there on your own, before you checked any references.   But the realty is not everyone is cut out to be a business owner.

where exactly did these folks rip you off? You took it upon yourself to spend over a grand to fly back and forth to check these people out in person, without making an appointment first. They took nothing from you. They promised you nothing that wasn't then delivered. Their offices weren't grand and palatial enough? Maybe that means they're a good, cost conscious company that doesn't waste funds on frivolity. You ripped yourself off and ought to amend this report to reflect that.

The company is correct. They did not have me registered in my name alone. The person that made first contact was my husband. We do not share the same last name. Either they don't see my last name associated with my husband or they are not telling you. The store was for me and I flew to Florida by myself. I tried putting my email address on my complaint but Rip Off Reports covered it up. I am sure they had their reasons, maybe to protect me. I am OK with Buck or anyone else to email me.
