Dollar Tree

I am a frequent shopper at this location due to the fact I work very close. Usually, service is pretty good. Not the case at all today. The lady at the register had the most annoyed look on her face. I asked her how she was today and she responded with, «What?» like I just said he mom was ugly or something. I said nevermind. She is the WRONG employee to have up front working with patrons.

Got a buck? Need something quick? Don’t care if it’s all made in China? Then you’re in the right place for fast and cheap. This is my ‘go to’ for birthday party gift bags & tissue (I’m not spending $ 10 on wrapping that’s going in the trash!), balloons & glow sticks, hair bands, gloves that are going to get lost, seasonal socks and the like.
It’s not the cleanest or prettiest, but it’s a DOLLAR store dude!

Pros: Everything is a buck or less, good for party supplies
Cons: Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced
I was not expecting great customer service and friendly smiles at a place like the Dollar Tree, but let’s talk about the horrible customer service experience I had here. I needed a few party supplies and stopped by here on a Saturday morning. I filled my basket and got in line. The woman behind the register asked me to empyt my basket. No biggie– I’ve been asked that before so I started to reach for my basket when she said «It’s okay, I’ll do it for you». She took my basket and flipped it over and just dumped everything on the conveyor belt. I was pretty shocked. She just dumped everything out, even breakables! I obviously looked shocked, because she asked «What’s wrong?» I told her I would have emptied the basket, and there was no need to dump everything out.
I could tell she wanted to go off on me, and she even started to before realizing that would have been a really bad idea. She stopped herself, looked down and then said she was sorry. I paid for my items and just left. Worst customer service experience of my life. Blatantly rude! At least she apologized.
Will this stop me from going back when I need cheapie party supplies? No way. I wasn’t expecting great customer service, and my expectations were met.
