Dollar Tree

I got a pillow pet here from the actual brand and it works great for $ 1. Usually they are like $ 15. No joke.

I love this Dollar Tree.
its a little on the small side but the store is neat and organized.
im always able to find what I want for small crafts or quick small items for my kiddos. the staff is friendly and nice

I usually come in here when I want to do a small run for supplies. I always get my cards (birthday, anniversary, wedding, christmas), lint rollers, etc. The items they supply their customers at the Dollar Tree are fair; «you get what you pay for» ($ 1). I enjoy comimg here especially because of how friendly the customers are. I’ve been inside the dollar tree atleast 25 times. and each time, an employee greeted me with «Welcome to the Dollar tree» and a smile. They also do this cute thing at the register: when someone donates money to a fundraiser that the Dollar Tree is participating in, the cashier picks up the microphone and «WOOTS WOOTS» to the entire store, I think it’s pretty rad and sure puts a smile on my face. This store is very good for those small things you’re in dire need of, especially decorations for the holidays or birthday parties. I higly recommend this store for those who need something ASAP because this store will supply it for you!

I wish I could give 3.5 stars instead of 3 or 4. Obviously in some aspects of this store, you get exactly what you pay for — but I have found much use out of what I have purchased here.
What I do not like about this store is the employees, some of them come off just so rude and annoyed with their lives. I was especially annoyed when I went in to get a refillable butane lighter and I got immediately questioned about my age. I do look very young, but I’m old enough to buy things and I have my own ID, etc. The lady behind the register would not stop questioning me and looked at my ID like it was fake and joked as the security guard walked over about me. I understand the consequences of a store allowing an underage person to purchase something, especially with a fake ID, but do not question me so loudly in front of other customers and in such a rude way. She was asking me questions like when my birthday was, when did I graduate high school, etc. Didn’t know coming into Dollar Tree to buy foam sponges and a lighter came with a 5 minute detective interrogation.
Also, why the heck don’t we get refunds for returns? I hate exchange-​only policies for stores like this.

Great place for cheap and crappy products. But what’s even worse is the service. I guess you can’t expect much when you just pay a dollar but at least they could say hello instead of talking to each other about their day. Then the lady says «my register is not open.» Really?

Today my husband and I went to the dollar store to grab a few Christmas things and to look around. I have never seen so many employees that look so unhappy and act so unprofessional.
Many times as we were browsing the isles looking at stuff on the shelves employees would walk right in front of us and not say excuse me or anything. It was like we weren’t even there. I did not see one employee smile the whole time we shopped. While we were looking at the christmas section a lady over the intercom called an employee named «letisha» many times to the register. My husband and I heard her say to another employee or to her self «she knows I can’t hear over that «loud enough that my husband and I heard it two isles down. If she couldn’t hear it why would she say that. She was clearly being lazy. The lady at the register must have called her name about four times over the intercom. Finally, the lady over the intercom told another employee to look for her. I thought that was so unprofessional because clearly she heard her name being called. It looked like she signed some kind of paper so I really hope she’s not the manager. Well at least we found some cute christmas stuff. I highly recommend hiring people who actually smile at customers and make sure they are finding everything okay. Oh and everything was very cluttered. I had to move the big rolling shelves that carry the stock by myself because it was blocking all the Christmas ornaments I was trying to look at. Not to mention there was an employee that walked right by me and didn’t offer any help getting it out of the way. Rude rude. There was no «can I help you find something «» have a good night «nothing.

Dollar Tree]s aisles are cluttered with overstocked inventory. either that or there’s no storage room available so. …checkout is different too. no checkout lanes. just a single line lining up for one or 2 cashiers at the front. (ala fry’s electronics).
store is smaller than most stores in the bay area.
buys: popcorn/​cheddar popcorn (1)
–ok
–unknown chips also available.

Clean and good customer service. Almost too good. I hate when they call the next person in line up for two reasons, 1. I don’t like strangers standing that close to me when I’m putting in my ATM code and 2. Sometime the checker and or customer isn’t ready and had you stood in line until someone actually left the counter the other checker would have been quicker. So now you’re watching the three people behind you walk out the door while you’re still standing at the counter waiting for the customer to hurry up with «oh just one more item» which results in another transaction. Annoying.

I’m a regular here ;) Wish they had a frozen section but other than that always stocked, always friendly.

Rude manager (I think manager), unhelpful and angry. Good prices though for things that will probably kill me. But happy to know I have the option not to shop here. Back to the expensive barely better Raleys. Get a better attitude whoever you were.

Nice to have a cheap store with a bunch of good products! Nice place to go for whatever you need.

Great to have a Dollar store here in town! Don’t have to deal with the bad elements like that store in Vallejo.

gosh I’m sooo glad I don’t have to take the trip to vallejo anymore! this store is so clean and always fully stocked. every time I look for something in particular, they have it. I am always greeted every time I walk in as well. I always find more than I came for, but hey! it’s only $ 1 :)

Yeah!!! A dollar store in benicia!!! Woooohoooo! It’s AWESOME!!! clean and friendly and easy to shop. AND IT’S IN BENICIA! You you go there benicia… you know you do. Dont lie… we all need to save a buck.

Great to have a dollar store in town near my normal shopping spot (Raley’s). I forgot how many useful things can be had there for a bargain. For the kids it is a great place to pick up little nick nack toys for the summer, party favors, etc. I always like to hit up their tool and cleaning product sections for things you need every once in a while. Don’t expect to find Snap-​On tools but for that off hand thing you need for a specific job it is great.
It is in a nice area but I’ll refrain from looking down my nose at people who aren’t as fortunate financially. Never had a problem at other dollar stores but I am a big fan of Benicia in general…

Today was the grand opening of the new Dollar Tree store at the Southampton Shopping center off I-​780 in Benicia. Nothing to write home about, it’s a Dollar Tree store, just shinier and newer. Perhaps most importantly, however, is that it is in a safe, middle-​class neighborhood and not some run-​down ghetto where people have a hard time coming up with even $ 1 so you can shop in safety. If you are in the area and need some toiletries or snacks by all means come here!
Dollar and 99 cent stores in general sell for cheap by offering smaller sized products and/​or products which are off-​brands. For example you could buy a box of Kellogg’s raisin bran on sale at the nearby Raley’s for $ 2.50. You could find a $ 1 box of cereal here at Dollar Tree but it would be half the weight of the Raley’s item and would NOT have the Kellogg’s label (I saw small boxes of Malt-​o-​Meal cereal on display). If you are looking for staple products like bandages or a hair brush you will probably save money by shopping here. But not always. Dollar Tree had tubes of AIM toothpaste for $ 1, but I have seen these at Safeway for 99 cents.
Welcome to Benicia, Dollar Tree!
