Five Below

Really? Only an average of 2 stars for this location?
It deserves more than that.
I had no problem here at all.
So, I bought a bunch of iPhone charging cables a few months ago at the Dedham Five Below. They brake so quickly and fast, that I had 2 that both completely broke, that I needed to exchange. I was in this area (as I live near the Dedham location), so decided to stop by and exchange them. The one guy at the register was very friendly and exchanged them easily for me at no charge, without a hassle. Very happy.
The store seemed to not have any other employees though, and was in use of some small organization in the gift bag department, as well as the ball buckets in sports. Overall, pretty good store, without a checkout line (so thankful…), and a fine parking lot. 4 stars.

While I am very tempted to use the word «Shithole», it is not possible to do so fairly.
There are a few things that keep it from earning that award. The store is clean, organized, brightly lit, and the cashier was friendly.
As for the rest of the story, it goes downhill. A friend dragged me here so I had to check it out. The actual product in the store is mostly crap. Crap that’s about 5 minutes from a landfill, and whatever few pennies you save will cost you much more in aggravation.
Prices aren’t all that swell. I scanned barcodes with my phone and you’re saving an average of 7 – 21 cents. B.F.D. Whoopie doo dah.
My big purchase was a box of mini Charleston Chews that tasted like they had been soaked in diesel fuel. Toxic.
I wonder if this store is buying recalled product that was supposed to be destroyed.
Avoid.

This is a $ 5 dolla, dolla store. Maybe its just a little better but really I cant tell the differance. Maybe the odor is a bit nicer?! I dont know. Alot of cheap shit at $ 5 bucks or under, hence the name. Quality? Not so much. Cheap?, O yeah!!! I think I feel better buying lead laced chinese garbage for a buck at dollar tree though!
