It's about time that somebody put a Dollar Tree store out in Arvin, a local community with an…read moreeconomy fueled by local farms and the people who work on them. Many of these people operate on a family budget so small that many of us can't even comprehend how they make ends meet, and gas is too expensive to continually make trips into Bakersfield to go shopping. Dollar Tree carries a wide variety of items, all at $1 (or less) each. Now Arvin residents have an affordable local option to meet many of their everyday household needs. Dollar Tree carries everything you need for those special celebrations: greeting cards, party supplies (cups, plates, napkins, party favors, and decorations), wrapping supplies (gift bags and boxes, wrapping paper, tissue paper, bows, and ribbons), even party favors for the kids. I found towers full of reading glasses and sunglasses that would cost from $5-$15 if purchased elsewhere. There are all kinds little toys to entertain the kids. I spent quite a bit here on toys to put in the prize box of my kindergarten classroom. Speaking of classrooms, Dollar Tree also has a small section of teacher friendly items in their "Teachers' Corner" and an aisle full of office / school supplies. I picked up some colorful sentence strips and mini pocket charts to use during center time in my classroom. If you're looking for cleaning supplies for your house they carry a wide variety of cleansers, sprays, sponges, and wipes to get keep your house spotless. When you're done with the housecleaning, you can clean yourself with soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, and toothpaste, not to mention hair products, brushes, headbands, and barrettes. Yes, some of these are off-brands, but they also carry major brands such as Colgate, Aim, Close-Up, White Rain, and others, and all at the same low price of $1 each. They also carry picture frames, candles, incense, pet supplies, automotive supplies, some light hardware items. There are plates, cups, bowls, plastic storage containers, and kitchen gadgets galore. There are aisles full of food, too, and even candy. Many of the candy bars such as Milky Way, snickers, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to name a few are $.79 instead of a dollar, though the larger boxes and bags of things such as Milk Duds and Hot Tamales are $1. There are so many bargains to be found at Dollar Tree. Whether you're open to shopping off brand items or prefer to stick to names you already know and trust, you'll find much to help you stay within even the most limited budgets here. And that's something this community really needs.

Overall, this Dollar General location is a pretty underwhelming store. I've honestly never fully…read moreunderstood their business model--the prices aren't exceptionally cheap, and the overall shopping experience certainly isn't exceptionally great either. The general merchandise and everyday item selection is average compared to other"discount" stores in the city. However, I will give them credit for one recent upgrade: they just added a brand-new cooler section specifically for fresh meat products. Visually, the setup looks very good and adds a much-needed fresh element to the aisles. The actual taste and quality of the meat are strictly "to be determined" for now since I haven't purchased any yet, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. For now, it gets an average three stars. It works if you're in a pinch, but the underwhelming selection of most things makes it hard to give it anything higher.

Poor worker was on her break, as many jobs you do not work on your breaks or lunches, the worker was kind enough to assist the teenager and tell them what aisle but after the teen failed to even try to look for the item and continued to ask the worker on break to keep assisting them. The worker, being on break, told them to press the bell for assistance instead so they can help them look for it as she is on break. The teenager slams the item down and proceeded to let out a childish remark calling the worker a lazy ass. Not a few minutes later the mother of the teenager comes in and even threatens the worker by wanting to fight her outside. The worker doesn't engage in such events. People make me sick, especially entitled customers that believe they're always right. They were on their break and doesn't have the obligation to assist the customer, that fact she even communicated with them in the first place and answered their question is good enough. Service is great, customers should know better.
