Associate misconduct
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.
Desired outcome: Would like an apology for the way I was treated, and compensation for my emotional well-being. I am concerned for other customers being treated in this matter. I also would like to add, I am a frequent customer at Dollar Tree

I used to be a DT store manager and almost every time I go into this store in Catoosa, Oklahoma there is always only one cashier and the line is backed up 7,8 or even up to 12 people in line. And the cashier Gabs won’t ever even call for back up. And after you have stood there forever the Store Manager Greg might come walking up there and decide to help some of us. I have personally spoken to him about it and he always says DT doesn’t do that anymore. Which I know isn’t true because you care about your customers always. So if something could be done so we are not always standing in a long line it would be muchly appreciated by me and all the other customers I have talked to while standing in line. They aren’t happy either. Thank you so much.

Desired outcome: To not always have to stand in long lines because the store manager isn’t doing his job.
Management
I left there years ago at their request. They are still harassing me to go back. They work people like slaves while the management eats all day and yells and watches everyone else overwork. All ex-employees are complaining the same way and some received threats from the manager in the store. They sell a lot but the manager would not cater to poor people or...

I am on a tight budget, but saw the beautiful shoreline rectangle placemats and decided to splurge. I didn’t realize it came in two patterns and ended up with 3 matching and one odd. I returned to the Crystal River store to exchange, but they were out. You don’t take returns at all, so I called the store in homossassa to make sure they had the ones I wa...

I shopped at Store #8291 at 11974 Lebanon Road in Sharonville Ohio today. I was finally checked out at 11:27 AM. Although I did not see any employees stocking shelves, almost every aisle was blocked by large carts with unopened boxes on them. I used the bathroom, which had a sign on the door that indicated it was for use by people of all sexes. The door did...

At store #4858 in Santa Maria, CA, when I went to check out there was no one at any of the registers. It took several minutes for someone to notice me standing there (I could've just walked out with a cartload if I wanted to), and he just said "Oh" and walked off. Several minutes after THAT, a girl came out to check out my items (other people were behind me by that point) but she was talking on her phone for the first part of the transaction, and kept chewing on her fingernails and putting her fingers in her mouth throughout. I didn't want to touch anything after her.
This seems to be a trend at the Santa Maria and Orcutt stores, as at the Orcutt store there is one employee who is very loud and yells constantly - often things that make no sense whatsoever, just random segments of thought he's decided the entire store needs to know - and a girl who is always yelling on her phone, including a great deal of swearing and personal information that no one wants to know.
Threaten to write me up about a 10 minute break.
I'm employed at the dollar tree on 8330 Pineville Matthews rd. I been a cashier for about less then 2 years. There have been a lot of changes in the store lately. Before bringing in a new Manager I use to take my 10 minute break around a half n hour before my shift end or whenever there's not a lot of people In line to be cashed out. I was always told that our customers come first. Some times I would skip my break just for the customers. One day a new asst Manager told me to take my break halfway thru my shift and I was explaining to her what time I usually take my break. She told me to go now, so I did. The next time I seen my new manager she threatened to write me up If I don't take my break when they tell me to. I said to her what happens if my line has a lot of customers in my line, can I skip my break. Her answer was that If you skip your break you will still get written up. They same night I put my 2 weeks in to leave the company. I always did my job very well. I always did more then My share. I always made the most money for the company. They never ever told me thinks for all the hard work I did.
Desired outcome: I put my 2 weeks resignation in.
The boss mrs. Sandra
I Michelle Shelton is a customer who comes to the store to shop and mrs Sander the boss lady always picks on me when I come to the store to shop I think that's she is racist because I am black. She does this every time I come in the store and she is very rude and she always has a nasty dirty mouth and attitude toward me every time I come tlin the store to shop I think she need to be removed from the dollors tree on east harding and there should be another boss person in place of her instead this is a ongoing thing I can't even shop without her picking on me or mouthing off at me with a nasty attitude
restroom denied
TO WHOM MAY BE CONCERN,
My name is Terry Ivery and I like to address the issue of not allowing to use the restroom within a certain location. I have a medical condition and I would have to urinate often. However, I was denied restroom access in speaking with the manager on the issues at two of the Memphis TN locations of Dollar Tree. In both locations, the manager was very rude. Please feel free to contact or text [protected]. on matters of concern.
5828 Summer Ave Memphis, TN 38134
6035 Stage Rd. Bartlett, TN 38134 store#395
Desired outcome: Address the issue of being able to access the bathrooms.
Overcharging items purchased
Dollar Tree in Lexington, KY off Mapleleaf Dr. I bought 7 items, was charged for 8. Manager wanted to Count the items in my bag to "make sure" I wasn't overcharged. She then proceeded to tell me she could not give me my money back because there was no way in their system to process the return. So, what does that mean? Dollar Tree is just going to steal my money when it clearly was their fault? That's not right. She said the only way was for me to pick out another item in the store. The problem is the Principle of the matter. If it's your company's fault for overcharging, give us our money back! Period.
Desired outcome: Dollar Tree needs to allow refunds for cases when their cashiers overcharge customers.
Open products and very poor Customer Service
I have been to this Dollar Tree store several times, and each it has filthy and nasty. There are always merchandise, boxes, and debris strewn all over, and down thru the aisles. I haven’t seen it decent, clean, and the shelves stacked with products. The staff is not helpful and at times unhelpful. The trash could cause accidents and certainly create a serious hazard for the customers, and I’m sure a liability on your part.
I know this is a poor and perhaps disenfranchised neighborhood, but this store should snd could do better. They represent your company. Please get them to do better.
Address is: 6102 Scott St. N Griggs Rd. Houston, Texas 77021on Thursday, March 30, 2023 at 4:30 pm
Desired outcome: A clean decent place to shop, without the risk of potential hazards. Maybe friendlier employees. Especially the ones with attitude.
Bad management/unprofessionalism toward customers & associates
As an associate at Dollar tree, I treat everyone, coworkers and customers alike with respect and one would expect the same in return. At this store the manager shows most, not all customers and only a few associates & as she calls them, Sister Managers respect. I cannot count how many times she has walked by and began yelling at me for doing exactly what she had told me to do. and not just yelling but slapping the products on the pegs in front of customers and coworkers. I find that embarrassing and humiliating. Two weeks ago, the mayor's wife had come into the store, I clocked out for my 10-minute break, and she was walking out the door with me (you see because we go to church together) and she (the manager) asked me real loudly "Did you clock out?" I said "Yes." and she hollered, "Correctly? Did you clock out correctly?" and I said "Yes." Needless to say, the mayor's wife was shocked by the way she was speaking to me and said she thought that she would have to call someone to tell them about this and that she was going to talk to her husband about her. I also witnessed her telling someone that she will not hire him, yet he is a hard worker and had all the skills needed to perform the projected duties on hand, and a few minutes later telling me that she would have a serious problem with him. From where I was standing and what I heard, she did not hire him simply because he politely stood up to her and did not tolerate her rude behavior and senseless bullying. I was told when I started working in December 2022, that there were absolutely no hats to be worn at work. No exceptions. Yet she lets a male associate wear his hat all day and also a large septum piercing. She will talk with him, joke and laugh, then becomes rude to other employees including myself. She wears a scowl and has an angry temperament all day and if I ask her a question, she either gets upset or becomes extremely sarcastic. Making a person feel bad. She makes it hard to be productive and makes employees & customers want to never return to the store. If I ask the manager on duty a question, she immediately runs to the manager and wants to know what we said or asks what it is that we wanted. In turn making the manager on duty feel incompetent.
I tried talking to her about the way she treats me, but it has done no good. She just becomes more belligerent, and her bullying of employees is getting even worse. On Tuesday last week she screamed at a new employee in front of two full lines of customers, I thought the young girl was going to cry. That is how mean she spoke to the girl. And I leave this for last because I feel so violated when I have to ask her if I may use the restroom and she gets so upset that she felt it is necessary to only give the managers and assistant manager a key to the customer restroom as well as employee restroom. And that we need a chaperone to take us to the restroom or we have to wait by the restroom door for someone to let us in to go to the bathroom. We are all adults that work here and should not have to ask permission to be let into and use the bathroom.
Desired outcome: What I would like to see done, is the manager in question have to take a skilled class in business management, anger management and a people skill class (how to deal with the public as a store manager).
Girl claimed she the manager very rude, loud and direpectable
3/2810am. went down aisle had boxes everywhere, no one was working in aisle, I moved 2/3 boxes with my foot to clear the aisle moved along my cart, ran into another box pushed aside, all of a sudden this very loud very disrespectful woman said “don’t you see this aisle is blocked” No sign posted. Blocked me in aisle, yelled LEAVE. I ignored her
Desired outcome: She continued to talk loud I left 3 ppl in line, moving slow, I couldn’t continue to deal with her behavior. Needs training customer service and how to talk to ppl, should be fired. Her mannerisms where like street person
Managers in love with lazy, racist, lying, suing, employee Rocky H.
Employee Rocky Hanna quit this job in 2021 and pretended to have sued dollar tree for past years incident where dollar tree provided her medical care. Rocky didn't care, she claims to have sued company for $10,000 and proceeded to brag about her winnings to anybody! This year 2023 pay went up and Rocky decides to return to the job she has just sued and made...
Read full complaintJeff - customer services
At 9:20Am on March 19th, 2023, I went into the store and saw two male employee at a back wall and I say to them, " Good Morning, gentlemen".. to which only 1 spoke back. I shrugged it off as maybe he has headphones in and continue to do my shopping. I get to the registers it is one of the guys that was at the back wall was my cashier. So again, I say my salutations, only to be tole, I can sit my stuff down as he types on his phone. So, I try again, good morning, and this time with irritation in his voice and steady texting away on his phone, he says, you can put your stuff down. I let him know that is rude and very unprofessional not to speak to Customers. He doesn't say a word as he checks my thing out.. I was flabbergasted and appalled at this happened and the store hadn't even been open 30mins. I also asked why so nasty attitude and he said because customer has been mean to him he does not interact with customers... AS a person that is hired to be in customer services this was absolute absurd to me.
Desired outcome: reprimand as this is not acceptable dealing with the public or with customer services.
