Dollar Tree

Went into this location to grab a couple of things for Easter and some birthday bags. Lots of things to look at for only a dollar. Unfortunately I had to wait like 3 minutes for the only person working to come up to the cash register to check us out.

Since I’m always on a mission to save a couple bucks, I love Dollar Tree but this one gets 1 star for their lack of customer service but 3 stars for the large selection and wide aisles, so I averaged it at 2 stars. But their employees? Wow. I went in on a Sunday afternoon to get some balloons for my son’s 1^st birthday party. If anyone has ever been to Dollar Tree, you know they have a large selection of helium balloons with a helium tank and a small portion of the front of their stores set up to accomodate this service. When I got there, the cashier was chatting with 2 other employees, leaving another customer and myself standing at the register waiting while she joked with them as they slowly stocked merchandise in between loud laughter and ignoring customers. After getting a nasty look for interrupting their conversation (trust me, I tried to wait but just kept getting ignored and I was pressed for time), I asked if I could get some balloons blown up. She just smirked at me and said «we don’t have any helium». No «sorry about that» or anything– she almost seemed happy about my disappointment. I walked out angry and frustrated. I know it’s just the Dollar Tree but come on, a little customer service can go a long way!
