Dollar Tree

I asked the employee if the hand baskets were cleaned since there was only one stack of them. She said rudely "If they weren't, they wouldn't be there. We have a sign on the front door. It is up to you people to read it."
The when I was checking out, the employee at the cash register where to put my used hand basket. She said "Put it back where you got it." I said " Over there?" She said "Yes." I told her the other employee told me those were cleaned and mine was dirty now. The cashier said "whatever".
Very sad that people have to be so rude. This is not the first time they have been rude. I try to go to other stores but I was in a hurry and this one was the closest to my house. I will try not to ever go there again!
