Dollar Tree
reviews and complaints

I proceed into the dollar store. I grab what I need and began to go to the cashier (Tenisha). Manager Jody begins to question me on what I'm going to do with what I have, which was broom sticks. I told her it was for my garden as stakes with wire down the plant beds. She began to have a Karen-like attitude with me. She also was questioning me like an officer. I didn't like it at all. Everybody better watch out for the Dollar store police. To solve her issue, She needs to keep stock organized and have extra stock if something were to run out. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready.

Daughter brought 1 pack of 4 pack drinks cashier rung up up 4 times went back in told had to get items to equal up. Stole my money from me and expect me to go get items. How do we know they not doing this on purpose to keep the extra money for their pockets. Yhey know if they do that their register will be over the amount. Consider this theft. Want to tell ne how I should act in the store. Stealing from customers should be a crime.

On 5/20/23, I purchased some household items for a local non-profit. When I brought some items back for a refund, I was told by the manager/assistant manager that "chemical" items could not be returned for a refund, but only be exchanged. I had about 8-10 items to return, but she never really looked in the bag to see what was being returned. The only thing that might be considered "chemical" were some disinfectant wipes.

Purchased balloons at store in Newton, NJ; store #7913

Asked for 3 specific colors, was told very rudely to find those colors in a large bunch of balloons that were already inflated. 2 balloons accidentally came loose from where the bunch was and I was rudely told to return them to where the others were. After balloons were purchased, I asked if there was a small holder I can use to hold balloons so the wouldn’t fly away. This same employee, who I believe is the manager said “we’re not a party store”

Extremely rude staff!

Visited your store and was greeted with this (see photos attached). I certainly understand that restocking must happen, but this should not violate any safety rules, which of course I am certain you must have and abide by.

Yes, they all were diligently working at stocking product, but none seem to understand that this is not only a risk to them but to any patron.

If this is not included in your policy then it should and if it is, then it needs to be reinforced.

I've been a regular customer at the local Dollar Tree in Newport News, VA. I'm lactose intolerant so I found icees. When I asked in the past if I could order, I was told No. : so I began purchasing as many as possible when they were stocked. I'm preparing for cataract surgery so I must depend on someone else (which makes it easier, when I can buy in bulk) I contacted the store Monday the lady stated she'd received stock on Thursday and put aside items in the freezer. I asked how many available, she said60. We agreed my neighbors would be by to purchase: however, I called before they went to let the store know my neighbors would be there, but the lady stated she only had 40 items. I stated I wanted them and she said yes, I was a regular. My neighbors called extremely upset stating no one would check in the rear of the store, they refused to acknowledge anything of the items to be purchased. I was only permitted10 and told me they didn't care who I called to complain they weren't concerned. (I've been a regular, plus my neighbors have purchased for me since at present I can't drive.) I called this morning and was told items couldn't be held. I didn't know until I called but the females let me know they didn't care how I was affected as a customer. I've attempted to order but denied. I don't understand. A sale is a sale.

The cashier's name is Tashaun and he works at the store in Nassau Park in New Jersey. I happened to pass by him several times during the course of my shopping and every time I did so a heavy odor would linger around him but i didn't want to assume that it was in fact marijuana until he himself accidentally said to another coworker that he was a little high from earlier in the day. I've no clue how truthful he was being about that because the smell coming off of him was rather strong, this happened on 5/10/23 at around 6pm or so.

While shopping at Dollar Tree, 5/4/23, store 3080, I saw an elderpy woman crying and it looked like she needed help. I went to the front of the store to get someone to help. The associate I had refused to call 911, saying she would be charged for rescue. I said that she wouldn't and if I had my phone that I would call myself, as I was returning to the woman, I told the associate she was rude and then she yelled at me and said I was. I told the elderly woman I couldn't get help, the associate came down to where the woman was. I left to go and purchase my items. I wasn't happy with the associate and wanted to call home office. As I was leaving and by that time I was crying and humiliated, the store manager said her say about me. After that I went to the ER. I am a heart patient and experiencing some chest pains. I was told by my physician that I was to go to any ER if experiencing anxiety. I'm fine however, I do believe if I hadn't been treated the way I was this wouldn't have happened. I called the store and unfortunately got the woman from the altercation and was the store manager. I told her what happened at the ER, and wanted an apology, she hung up.
