BEWARE of the female employees at the dollar tree store location on Pulaski near Wilson. I wasn't…read moreaware that there's a time limit for browsing and shopping at that location. They get very sharky around you if you're there for more than one hour. especially the Spanish chunky chick with long hair. she has a very serious demeanor. never smiles. I noticed after a while past the one hour browsing and shopping looking, she would creep up in the same aisle I was at pretending to stock and check items at the same time spying on me. very creepy. I didn't have a basket so had to hold a few items in my hands and forearm. The other heavy set AA female employee is just as leery and creepy. It's very insulting, uncomfortable and off putting to assume someone is taking things. It is not worth my time to cater to a location with suspicious sharky employees. The other locations never shark me. very disappointed with this location, it's big bright and spacious. but it is not worth being there over 30 minutes. I tend to linger a bit longer when I haven't been at a certain location in a long while. but it is not worth it at this location unfortunately. :/ my favorite employee is not there anymore :( and she was the very nicest cheerful one, made me smile. I think I see why she's not still there. probably had to tolerate the creepy other women coworkers. zero stars for employee demeanor, lack of confidence in innocent customers.

This Dollar tree location has racially profiled, racially discriminated against me on several…read moreoccasions. But now a Caucasian female woman maybe in her early 30s took it upon herself to engage my service dog on commands while I was waiting in line to check out. I was the only African American in the store amongst maybe 25 others including children. I shop here all the time. I keep receipts for up to 60 days ...at most stores I am locked into the stores system by phone number. At this location I purchase carpet foam, comet, bleach, dog treats, etc. Basic essentials. I have never stolen anything from this store. So to be suspected or singled out is considered "RACIAL DISCRIMINATION" "RACIAL PROFILE". Not only that I pay for my items with the same person most of the time, or same people. They should know me by now huh? Exactly....To mentally accuse someone of a crime that hasn't been committed is virtually self incrimminating. Meaning...a person can be so convinced because of his or her own thievery behavior or activity. Its called pilferage. So lets be clear and transparent. When a person is eating potatoes chips, snicker bars, putting laundry detergent in a bag, etc. and not paying for it is called THEFT...doesn't make a difference if you work there or not. Its called THEFT THEFT THEFT...and you are a thieve...simple as that. Some of you have gotten so comfortable that back in the storage while unpacking boxes and putting things on the shelf eating potatoes chips and cookies and not paying for anything your'e eating and at the same time peeping out the door watching customers who are legitamently shopping and paying for their items. Don't believe me...Okay...I betcha...if someone from the corporate office were there you wouldn't be eating or taking anything. Why not? Because you are aware that you are stealing that's why. Neither here nor there. But to racially profile or racially discriminate against someone who patronizes your store is unethical but also illegal. It is also illegal to engage a persons "registered service dog." So lets be clear about a behavior. When you cross the line ...and thereafter violate the rights others. Always consider the many things that can go wrong when you engage people you don't know. I write not only for myself but for people who are subject to this same behavior but have no outlet. Here's your outlet. Always put everything in writing. Details...dates, times, names, addresses, etc. Be very precise in your writing. Always have a witness...these people are very insidious and crafty. Try to stay calm. Thank you for reading ...my name is Stafford Garrett and I approve this message.

One of my favorite places to shop for daily household items! They have an array of name brand…read moreproducts that I use. Along with great deals, they have an amazing assortment of gift bags, small gifts, perfumes (I no longer go to Nordys to buy my high end perfumes!) and part supplies galore! I volunteer at my kids' school and always go to Advance when I need party tablecloths, small party gifts, crayons, coloring books, pencils.. the list goes on! The staff is friendly and helpful. I worked with Ajay and Asha and they both are always accommodating! They have a parking lot next door and a helper is always available to assist me to my car. I recommend Advance Distributors for your home and gift shopping needs!

Advance Distributors is on the SE corner of Pulaski Ave & Argyle across the parking lot from Aldi…read more My wife is a Filipina and anyone who knows Filipinos know about the Balikbayan Box that they like to send or bring home loaded up with American items that are coveted in the Philippines. Her brother Ed lives in Quezon City w/his daughter and 3 grandkids. 2 girls and 1 boy. My wife calls frequently to check up and see how he's doing (I mean even if there was a problem he wouldn't tell her). So anyway she was talking to him last night to see how he's doing and if there were any specific items that he needed. The 7 year old granddaughter was asked if she wanted anything. She doesn't want anything like a Barbie doll she wants an i phone X. Yeah right let's get her a $1000 i phone X. Maybe one for her sister too lol. We recently found out after years of driving by that it is open to the public. This coupled by our plans to go to the Philippines early next year we ventured into the building that houses Advance Distributors to see if there was anything we could find. Upon entering we found row after row of merchandise some of value and others not so much (kind of like a giant flea market). I met one the owners Vijay who told me they have been there since 1974. It was originally owned by his father and now he & his brother run Advance Distributers. He told me he would give me a discount, but much of the discount is volume driven and I didn't need to buy more of certain items. Unfortunately there wasn't much that we needed from the store & many of the items that were name brand items I have bought when on sale at other stores at lower prices.

Management is fantastic and so genuinely helpful at this location (I'm reviewing this in May of 2016 so I can't speak for times before). The manager here was on her way to a break but I stopped her to ask her questions about a product without a tag. She quickly took the time out and found a similar product and provided me with a tag (and gave me a discount because the item I wanted was on sale, too!). The Marshalls in particular has always been clean and organized. They have a ton of amazing products like Kate Spade and Tory Burch. They also have an incredible selection of shoes but you have to go quick because they run out of popular sizes fast. I love this Marshalls because everyone has always been so incredibly helpful. 5 stars.
