Dollar Tree

My 1 star is based on the management of the employees, especially when it’s exceptionally busy
Love this location for a variety of reasons, however, there seems to be a problem with management of the cashiers. They don’t seem to get that stocking is no where near as important as getting the customers the service they need. One register open? Why? Maybe corporate needs to consider redesigning the register area so that when absolutely no cashiers are standing at the registers and are doing, whatever it is that they are doing, they can see when a customer walks up looking for someplace to get them checked out. Several people mentioned that there are not enough cashiers/​associates. I’m not sure if that’s the case, or, if more than one person breaks at a time.
BTW, one person, who’s name stands out because of his positive attitude, and genuine love for what he does, is a young man named «Cody». WoW! Exceptional! Right on it every time I see him at the store, and, personable… If I could give points for best service by an employee, it would be him. He would get a 10/​10, he’s that good. And, whoever hired him, thank you! There are a couple of other great employees there as well, but, I don’t see them often enough to know their names… that is, if they even still work there… Don’t know… But, grateful for this guy’s dedication to doing a job well, even if it’s not the best paying job, or the job of his dreams… Good for him**********!
So, if you don’t mind waiting in long lines, waiting for employees to «heed the need», If you don’t mind being ignored when a new cashier comes on to a register and does see that you were next and allows someone who hasn’t been waiting for 20 minutes, go in front of those who have tried to patiently wait in the long line, or, like me, continue to look at stuff until there is a lull in customers, then, you’re going to fare much better than many.

AN EMPLOYEE STOLE MY PHONE
Forgetting a phone somewhere is not *permission to steal*.
It’s been a few months, and we gave the manager every opportunity to deal with whichever employee, but no go. The phone was forgotten there just before closing. It was turned on at the store, on the night it was lost, after the closing time of 10pm, then it was turned on again in Buena Park, then again at the store. Obviously one of the employees took it. Months of going back to the store, and calling got no result. The nearly impoverished friend to whom I had loaned it was frantic, and needed it for her delivery job, but even after hearing this, the heartless manager did nothing to help. With so few employees, and probably only one of whom lives in Buena Park, it would have been fairly effortless to figure out who took it.

You know for this dollar tree store i dont like how they have 1 check stand open around 6ish cause thats what time i went in. Also there was these 2 employees look like they were working but i couldnt tell what were they really doing around the register as a worker at the Vons i know if i see long lines just open up so the customer can be check out quickly nd friendly service. But i hardley go to this dollar tree store location. Eehh.

Solid 3 stars for the convenience of its location. I’m always here when I’m too early to pick up the little one from Cubberley! Don’t expect best quality products as you know, everything is practically $ 1 unless specified. I suggest to only get bathroom and kitchen products from here. Also, when I have to wrap a last minute gift and don’t have any materials, I pick it up here. It’s quick and simple.
This is obviously not my fave Dollar Tree location. Their shelves are so unorganized compared to the one I normally go to (Carson) and there’s boxes for restocking in almost every aisle, but no associates putting them up. It’s difficult to track for help around here. Today, I only noticed the ONE cashier on the floor AND the checkout line started to build. Thankfully, they didn’t have what I need so I walked out with a smile, knowing I don’t have to wait in the long, ridiculous line.
Be safe out in the parking lot too. It can be sketchy in this area. Keep an eye out for your kids at all times.

They NEED MORE WORKERS. with only one register open I was in a line that went to the back of the store for about 17 min. I was in such a rush and so irritated. But I needed the supplies.

As Dollar Trees go this one is fairly clean and pretty well staffed at the registers. Can’t really ask for more from a $ 1 store IMHO! They sell food here but I never buy food from dollar stores… seems fresh and current (not expired).

Just left this store and was amazed how the cashier Sophie just did. She had seriously about 30 customers in line that wrapped around and she apologized to everyone and did such a great job. I was very disappointed to see the lady manager look to see the long line and walk to the back! I have seen her do this a couple of times. Everyone in line was pissed off but everyone was so nice to the cashier because of how professional she was. If I was working and saw that many people I would of quit my job. The manager really needs to step it up. I have seen her 3 times not care how long the line was she doesn’t help out but this time it made me so mad that I thought I would write something. Customers come first whatever you were doing by the balloons and then had to walk to the back could of waited. On top of that the girl called for back up twice! I gave it 4 stars because of the cashier. The lines are always way too long I won’t be coming back I would rather pay the extra to have quicker service. Good job Sophie you should go find a different job where they help you out beciase you are a damn good worker and didn’t deserve that bs today!!!
Happy thanksgiving everyone

Two weeks ago I came here and they only had ONE cashier and the line was soooo long. I waited almost 30 minutes!!! The cashier asked the manager for back up and the manager didn’t do anything!!! Poor guy, I think his name was Raphael. He was really nice and you could tell he was trying his best. It’s the managers’ fault, they’re all about overpowering the workers just because they can. Someone needs to tell these managers to do their job and stop passing it to the workers under them.

love this store, clean great selection, the only reason i didnt give them 5 stars is because of all the times i have stood in line going up the aisle, tons of people in line but 1 cashier? Hopefully this will change, but im still coming back!

I love Dollar Tree deals and this is by far my favorite Dollar Tree store around! Its more organized and clean, and easier to walk through than the store on South. The employees have always been super nice too.
I love that there is always a good selection of mylar balloons and I can make a quick last minute stop for a cheap bunch… I’ve done so for birthday surprises and graduations! This is also the place to buy serving plates, bowls, platters, napkins, and paper plates and plastic utensils for big gatherings when you don’t want to use the good stuff at home, but still want something that looks good.
This store also has a GREAT school/​office supply selection. I was so surprised and excited to find just how much stuff they have. Forget Target! Can’t beat the deals, so stock up here!

I come to Dollar Tree for all my party and festivity needs, and supplies for my DIY projects. Greeting cards also.
Bachelorette party stuff:
— plastic champagne flutes 2 for $ 1
— Balloons, balloon pump
— gold, black, hot pink plastic ware, table cloths, etc…
And don’t forget the cute holiday décor! Fall/​Halloween stuff, and cute Christmas ornaments. I’ve made numerous Christmas garlands and decorated my tree with supplies all from Dollar Tree.
This location is big. Usually one or two cashiers each time I’ve been here but they’re pretty fast.
Never underestimate the value of a dolla’!

Great dollar tree! This store is pretty big, the workers are nice and they are always stocked up on everything I need. Big selection of nail polish. if you’re going to buy food make sure to check the expiration date. Bring your own bags because bags are 10 cents each!

The dollar store rocks!
I know this location is not as good or as nice as some others, BUT… they have tons of cool stuff here… and it feels wayyyyy cleaner than the 99c store. The Dollar Tree is the Nordstrom of dollar stores.
I would never go to Party City or some place like that to get party «essentials» (table cloths, plastic silverware, plates, hats, small banners, table decorations). It’s all here and it’s all $ 1.
I actually just decorated for a 4^th of July party and instead of running all over the place to get the things that I needed, where did I go? You know it, the Dollar Tree. I was even able to get helium balloons for the tables (with no wait and no pre-​ordering), bubbles for the kids, and hand sanitizer for the tables.
When I have crafty ideas I will often come here to see if they have what I need (although, the 99c store is sometimes better in the crafty department). I also buy cheap ribbons for little girls bows, vases for table decorations, wreaths sometimes, and some small crates for organizing. This place is a gold mine for teachers or homeschooling mommas — there are lots of classroom decorations and I always come here to buy stickers and note pads and Sharpies (!) for my kiddos.
That’s usually about all I buy although I have noticed that they have a big personal care section, and lots of food, and a decent «closet» or housewares section.
Overall: If you see me in the craft aisle say hey, if you see me in the party aisle, you know what I will be doing over the weekend ;)

Decent selection of items; however, they’ve def sold out of certain items i’ve needed (i.e. tape measure). It’s usually not that crowded and it’s pretty clean. I can’t be too picky, as it is only $ 1…
Overall, if you want something cheap and low quality this is not a bad place…

I stopped by after shopping at the F&E next door for a couple pet collars for the two cats that live outside. Well, 2 items turned into $ 100 very quickly. I work for the school and state testing is coming up next week so I picked up some snacks and juices for students just in case they get hungry and to keep them focused. Overall this Dollar Tree had SO much stuff but was not overwhelming. Everything was kept very clean and organized, I didn’t feel caved in like I do at some of the other Dollar Trees. Also, I just found out Dollar Tree takes manufactured coupons. We were best friends before, now we are even more best friends. The cashier was very sweet. A younger girl, I’m guessing right out of HS. Overall, I love this location above all the others I’ve been to. Keep up the great customer service, clean store, and over all awesomeness.

I needed to get some balloons. This was the closest store in the area. Cashier was friendly despite being alone and having 30 customers in line. She had to ask mgr to come out of office to help balloon service. Manager was rude n ghetto. It was like a bother to her. She acted uninterested that so many people are waiting in line. Friendliness goes a long way, shouldn’t loose it no matter what store you go to.

This dollar tree has a fantastic card selection and to top it off, many are TWO for a dollar, which blows my mind. Had I not already purchased several cards prior to this visit I would have bought two or even three times as many as I did today. Definitely my new go-​to spot to grab a celebratory note.
Additionally, this is also one of the few stores that still offer Mylar Balloons. There’s a shortage of helium, so many discount stores no longer carry them… but not this one! Woohoo!

Forget Party City, Toys R Us, Target and even Walmart. This is the go to place for all your party and social gathering needs, whether you’re a guest or the host!
Party Decorations — balloons, themed material and unthemed. BTW… not all balloons there are $ 1, the larger ones can be up to $ 2
Gift wrap — great selection of bags, wrap, greeting cards, tissue paper, ribbon and bows
Toys and Goodie bag fillers — example! 3 diecast cars for $ 1 vs. 1 hot wheel for $ 1.50… for a 2yr. old who doesn’t know the brand name appeal, this works! Plus I look like a super star in his eyes, when I can buy sooo much for him! They also offer crafts and school supplies, books and activity material.
Bubble fun — assorted bubble makers, wands and bottles of solution
Seasonal toys — right now, beach and pool toys still available. Example! I bought a bucket and shovel for $ 1 vs. Walmart’s $ 5.99 «low cost» special.
Plates, tissues, serving ware — because who wants to clean or use their own dishes and utensils for a large gathering?
and the ever fun… plethora of cleaning supplies.
I can spend hours in here. The last party I planned I got most of the stuff here.
Keep in mind, you get what you pay for, so don’t expect high-​end, long lasting stuff. Think: use once or twice and toss. That said, not sure how I feel about buying groceries there or any other discount store. A bag of chips or water, sure. not much else. Same goes for the make-​up.
The staff is pretty laid back, so don’t expect Nordstrom-​like service there. Even if there’s a long line up, I’ve never once seen them open up another register. So be patient and browse around. The place is packed with goodies, but clean and orderly enough that you can peruse pretty easily.

Budget shopping.
It’s just one of those places that you need on your list for your random items like artificial flowers, aluminum baking pans, and wine glasses.
Don’t ask me why I have need for random stuffs. :]

The frozen food section is great! But they have a «no backpacks, limited ‘high-​school» kids allowed” policy. The frame price is great too and many of the frames are very nice.
Ironically a great inexpensive place for high school age people to get gifts for Mom’s/Dad’s/friends. Next door Rite Aid can print your picture and you can get a frame at Dollar Tree. The also have a great glass isle. I go here for wine glasses to go with bottled wine that I gift. They seem to have a bit of everything through out the store.
These items are a Dollar, so even though my hanging baskets were practically a steal, I don’ t see them lasting more than a couple of years.
This is also a fabulous deal on balloon decorations, they have the helium and balloons and the table weights.
Good shopping!
