Online Purchase
Purchased two boxes of candy, each with 24 units in the boxes. One box arrived directly on time, but now it's been a month since the order was placed and approx. 2.5 weeks since the first box arrived and the second is stuck on the 'Label created' stage of shipping but has not gone further in weeks. It seems as though they don't have the candy I want, but I can't find a way to get my order at least partially refunded or get in contact with someone who can figure out why I'm not getting my product.
Desired outcome: Either a refund of at least the half of the order I did not get, or preferably the second half of my order shipped with haste

Horrible employee behavior

Location: 182 East Baseline Ave Rialto CA 92376 About one month ago I received horrible service at the Dollar Tree from a heavy set African American female (All managers have refused to give me her...

Customer Services/Cashier
On Tuesday February 8 approx. 2:30/2:45 I came in with my 5 yr old grandson to purchase (2) 9-volt batteries...
Upon paying for the items, my grandson wanted to hold the batteries I kept one so the cashier can ring up the (2) batteries (Tina) asked is he with you (yes) then she proceed to ask is he going to pay for the item again I told her to ring up the items she continued talking to herself which I couldnt hear what she was saying I asked is there a problem situation escalated by her reply you are the problem with your attitude I told her to calm down ring up my items so we can leave...
Situation became very hostile and escalated more when (Tina) snatched my money out of my hand, verbal words were exchanged between the both of us in front of the customers in line manager on duty (Watson) happen to be leaving the office at the timing of the incident trying to keep us apart nothing else was said to (Tina) in my presence
Desired outcome: I want for Tina or Watson to apology to my grandson he was very upset about the way Tina was yelling at me in front of him. Provide my grandson with a gift card as a reward would be a nice gesture.
Parking lot contractor fired, parking lot cleaned, a new contract for parking lot and especially storefront and dumpster area kept clean.
Request sent to Dollar Tree customer support. No reaction, other than to put me off for no reason. Here is some correspondence.
My name is Tommy Kitchens, I am currently a customer, and am sending this to Dollar Tree Corporate Hq. because your store in my town is an eyesore!
I have talked with the on-duty manager of the store at 42 McCurdy Ave N. in Rainsville, Alabama 35986 about this problem three times. I have been told there is no overall store manager.
Again, today I talked with her and complained about the outside appearance of the store.
This store parking lot is absolutely the very worst store in my town. It is in Halls Plaza along with 4-5 other stores in the same building. I was told that she personally has complained to Dollar Tree Corporate Hq., which is you, and has personally met with the store owner/maintenance/parking lot contractor, Mr. Kilgore to bring the situation to his attention.
She told me that Mr. Kilgore has the contract to clean the parking lot and to keep it clean. He does not keep it clean. She told me she, or her employee, has cleaned up the area around the store, only to be confronted by Mr. Kilgore, telling her not to clean it because he has the contract to do so, and his people will be by to do it. Neither shows up most of the time. The store's dumpster stays overflowing because Mr. Kilgore does not abide by the contract, by both keeping the outside parking lot and dumpster cleaned up.
She told me Mr. Kilgore removed the yellow cigarette disposal containers, and now cigarette butts and smoking materials litter the lot nearly completely. Look at the attached photos, taken today.
Mr. Gary Philbin, as Chief Executive of Dollar Tree, it is your overall responsibility to your customers to follow up on these types of complaints. I hope you will take the responsibility to see to it that this situation is handled swiftly. My town, and I specifically, want to see some immediate action on this!
I checked the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and was appalled at Dollar Tree's score! A 1.12 score out of a possible 5! (https://www.bbb.org/us/va/chesapeake/profile/variety-store/dollar-tree-inc-0583-43000228) That is deplorable!
Mr. Philbin, as Chief Executive, your customers, and employees expect more out of you!
Please take this complaint seriously and help your customers, employees, store manager and my town look better.
Thank you for any help you will provide,
Tommy Kitchens

Bag charge
I understand you raised your prices to $1.25, and that's fine, but being charged $1.00 per plastic bag is absolutely ridiculous. I will not be shopping here anymore. This was at the rose hill shopping center location in alexandria, va, btw. Time and date was around 7pm on Saturday, Feb 12, 2022
Closing whenever they want
Wilmington Ohio puts a sign on the door saying we are closing today at 6:00 (2/6/2022) and just a few days earlier the same sign says closing today at 3:00.
We end up driving 13 miles just to see that they are closed again early. How can we know they are closed or closing early and not end up driving to town and have to go back home because they want to close hrs. before its closing time.
If this keeps happening then it will be time to start boycotting this store. Figure the gas prices and what it takes to drive 26 miles for nothing. These are not the only times this has happened.
Desired outcome: Find a way to let us know when will be closed early and not just when they feel like it. nd out why the store is closing so early.
Store closed during business hours
Please be advised that I visited Dollar Tree #4872 on Sunday, February 6, 2022, at 10;30a.m., and found the front door clocked during business hours. I was told by two customers standing in the parking lot that they could not enter Store #4872 because there was only one employee in this location. This isn't the first time this has happened to customers who find this location closed during regular business hours by your employees. An employee taped a handwritten note on the front window saying this store new hours were from 10:00a.m. until 7;00p.m. on Monday through Sunday. The sign was taken down by an employee and I have a photo of this location business hours which are Monday-Saturday 09am-09pm and Sunday 09am-08pm posted on the front window. If this is the store hours, customers want an answer why your employees are closing the store and locking the door. Customers are confused and wondering if the employees at this location are setting their own hours and why are is the door locked? All Dollar Tree Store hours should be set by the corporate office and employees need to adhere to the hours on the front window in black print. Employees shouldn't be able to close the store and post handwritten notes on the door without authorizing this with the corporate office first!
Desired outcome: Please determine what the business hours are at this store location so customers aren't turned away at the door any longer.
Service
I was at the store and needed my wallet. My boyfriend tried to bring it and the lady working said they were closed. Even though she knew I needed it when she told me prior to 9 that they were closed. It was exactly 9:00 when he tried to bring it in. She wouldn’t let him in, even though she knew I needed it. Nor would she let someone in looking for 1 thing. Let alone what another guy needed. It’s ridiculous to shut out customers like that. Needless to say I put my stuff down and walked out. Very poor customer service and very frustrating. She knew I was waiting on a card.
Store #1488 Store Manager
Rude customer services! The manager is nasty and rude. She stereotype the opposite race. Makes false claims towards the opposite race.
Management / employees
1/30/2022 Walk in the store to say good morning twice, employee did not response and started to talk on her cell phone. As I walk through the store, employees were stocking with cell phone to speak and cussing though the phone. Manger was helping them stock, she hears it as well. And did not say a word. I asked the manager Haley, who is the manager, she...
Read full complaintCurrent product price increases
Dollar Tree has recently increased the majority of their product prices from $1.00 (hence the name of the store) to $1.25. a 25% increase. I understand that sometimes inflation requires a nominal increase in product cost but 25%? That's almost criminal! Now, if a customer purchases 4 items, they are paying $5 rather than $4. Why? How about increasing the prices by a dime? That's a 10% increase and far more understandable.
This 25% increase could also open the door to price increase for all other similar stores, simply because the marketplace has allowed this shameful practice.
The majority of shoppers at the "dollar" stores are shopping there because their income only supports these lower cost retail facilities. I am a senior citizen on a very fixed income so these stores have been a relief from all the current price increases in the marketplace.
Dollar Tree recently opened a store within walking distance from my home and I was spending a considerable amount of money there, but I went to the store last week (Jan. 23, 2022) to purchase several items and was taken aback by the difference in the cost of almost everything I was intending to purchase. I did buy 9 of the 24 items I had intended to get (because I immediately needed those 9 items), letting the cashier know I had left many items unpurchased due to this high increase and that I would probably not return to the store for future purchases. I will go to a different retail store for my cards, still $.98, and return to Big Lots for all else I was purchasing at Dollar Tree. Yes, it will take me 10 minutes to get to Big Lots versus 1 minute to Dollar Tree but their prices are realistic and still a great value for my dollar.
Desired outcome: Dollar Tree should reconsider such a large price increase for the majority of their products. 25% is an extremely high increase!
Dollar Tree signed their own Death notice .. It's only a matter of time people are waking up !
Next time you go to Dollar Tree ( if your really so foolish ) Take a good look at the items ! What do you see ?
The difference from say a year ago ..
All products are or have been reduced to half the size ..
Do you really believe your saving money there ?
You are not a good shopper !
And now they up the price .. ( 1.25 ) ..
Are we really that foolish ?
Small bags of chips = not worth
50 cents / less batteries to a pack ..
Used to have two 9 volt per pack .. Now one ! Toothpaste like travel size ..
All containers 1/2 the size ..
12 oz Clorox bleach 1.25 ?
It's rediculous ! Go buy 1 gallon at a real store for 2 or 3 bucks and set yourself free !
Are the Chinese not rich enough ?
They give now 1/2 the product and you pay a quarter plus more ?
Wake up people !
There's really only one item I go there for and it's reading glasses ..
All the other things like medicated foot powder ( the blue bottle ) they don't even stock now .. And many others that seamed like value .. ( not stocked ) or discontinued ... Not enough profit !
Greed is a horrible disease !
Non-Slip Rug Underlays, 18x28 in. SKU: 176856
HI,
I have been trying to have these Rug Underlays shipped to my sore or even one in my area but it will only allow me to ship to my home. I live in Norther NJ and have tried every Dollar Tree in a 30 mile area and none will ship to store.
Please correct this problem.
My store is usually on RT 22 in Watchung.
Thank you,
Eileen
Desired outcome: allow shipping of product to store for customer pickup.

Check out #3 - Sales Associate : Rena
The cashier was rude, no other way to say it. Did not speak until I asked her to verify my total on the screen, all I got was a grunt.
I understand good help is hard to find, but I suggest Dollar Tree does a better job hiring someone to represent their name.
This will be the last time I shop in this store
Christmas dots candy
Saturday 1-15-22 I came in store 636 in District Heights Md and bought a bunch of boxes of DOTS candy; some were the Christmas flavor. When at the register the Christmas boxes of candy scanned at 1 cent a piece. I thought perhaps that was a special price to get them sold and off the shelves. I came back Tuesday January 18th on my lunch break to buy more...

Vince Pease, PA Dept. of Revenue, states, refer to page 15 of Rev-717, Candy & gum (NT-Non-Taxable). You may contact him at [protected]. This is in response to the man who posted that he paid tax on candy elsewhere, and that company should know that it is taxable.

Sales tax on non-taxable - candy
On Sunday, Jan. 16, 2022, I bought 2 bags of candy at Dollar Tree in Belle Vernon, PA. The cashier charged me sales tax ($.15). I brought in my PA Sales Tax book showing her and the Manager that there was no sales tax, and I wanted a refund. The Manager said she was not refunding it, because it was in the system. I would like a refund of $.15 because candy is non-taxable. The Manager was very rude. Dollar Tree makes millions of dollars in 2021; and the CEO is paid millions of dollars. If they are charging tax on candy, there is probably more items that they are charging tax.
Desired outcome: Refund the sales tax
You claimed Hershey Factory definitely would know that & not charge sales tax! If Dollar Tree doesn't realize there is no tax on candy, surely their auditors, KPMG LLP of Chesapeake, VA, should catch this (i.e., if they are good tax accountants)!
I have a current sales tax book. It states candy is "Non-taxable." Also, there is an online book which states "candy is non-taxable."
The store in general
Sirs or madams: This is the second time that I have written to you about the Dollar Tree store in Westfield, Massachusetts. And with such a fine location, and probable excellent revenue intake, it is a shame, really, that I feel compelled to write. This morning, when the cashier short changed me, and went over to the little one-way glassed office, where...
