    Okay, We all can agree that the holidays are depressing enough. The only cheerful thing about…read moreChristmas is the cheery and upbeat, nostalgic Christmas tunes, and the beautiful string lights that fill your brain to the brim with that feel good chemical we all look for. There isn't really much to be happy for on Christmas unless you actually have plenty of money left over after buying presents, or actually will be with family members who love and care for you. The dollar tree in wells was as depressing as it comes. The lightning came from dim fluorescent hang lights and the supplies seemed a bit barren since the last time I visited before Halloween. They did not play that wonderful music and as far as my observational skills could see, not one person spoke to another, and every one had a solemn look on their face as they were not feeling that nostalgic feeling because the music was not playing, and the cashiers were not talkative or smiling. It reminded of the typical mood at a Casino, zombies only hanging by a thread of hope. With trump being a prick while in office for four long years, followed by several wildfires, protesting in the streets, earthquakes, and of course that virus that doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon, the least they could have done was liven up that grey and mournful atmosphere with some joyful and festive music. When I checked out, I was carrying a small synthetic Charlie brown Christmas tree with some red door bells, garland, a pack of 20 gold colored and polished aluminum bells attached to a golden polyester thread, a red LED battery powered string of lights, and because I'm just on the cusp of middle class, a small case of needle and thread from the impulse buy section in front of the register. I made sure to buy a coke from the freezer case up front, and that was when I noticed how depressing the atmosphere was. I silently made a remark about it, in which the lady in front of us in line gave us a nod and mumbled a response through her mask. Halloween was amazing and festive beyond my expectations, but Christmas in dollar general was a resounding "bah humbug!" from the staff who refused to be festive enough to turn an already depressing holiday into something more tolerable. I mean I get it! Usually that music is on the entire shift, on repeat, until the cashiers are driven mad. But please don't take away the only thing that makes shopping more tolerable. Especially during a pandemic. I may return to the store location to buy some more ornaments for my Charlie brown Christmas tree. But I'll think twice about actually entering the store. I think three stars will probably be justified. There merchandise is very good quality, for a very cheap and affordable price. My prized possession from that store is a silicon scrubby I use to run my hands over when I'm anxious or distressed. I do have hopes for that store but they need to liven up the atmosphere. TLDR: store was depressing, posting a review in hopes that they would at least play music over the store speakers.

    My husband and mother in-law visited this location around…read more2:30 on 3/15. My mother in-law has a difficulty walking, so my husband had stopped at the end of an isle waiting for her to catch up with him. Upon this happening, the manager named Ellie, who was behind the register at the time told my boyfriend and mother in-law looked "sketchy". This was two minutes into their shopping trip before they had even placed an item into their cart. When my husband asked what the accusation was for, Ellie provided no reason, whatsoever. With no reason provided, I'm assuming this Ellie character is homophobic. The manager, Ellie, then proceeded to tell them they were sketchy for leaving the building after not wanting to shop their any longer after being name- called by a MANAGER. This is NOT a good place for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community to shop. This store is a dump, and their customer service is abysmal. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS.

    This store is advertised as a Fedex drop off location. I've dropped off a number of boxes there…read moreover the last year, 2 of them just last week. This morning I received a message from one of the package recipients stating their box was still sitting in North Berwick. I called Fedex, they said to check with the store as they show drop off 7 days ago but nothing further. I drove to the store and while standing in line to talk to the person at the counter I saw my two boxes sitting on the floor in the office behind the desk with junk piled on top of them. I asked the clerk about the packages and she first said she didn't know anything about them, I told her I could see them on the floor right behind the counter. She then said "oh, they have an "H" on the label for 'hold', that's why they're here". I told her "H" was for Home Delivery, not 'hold'. She asked if I wanted them back and I said no, I wanted them to go where they were supposed to go when I brought them by a week ago. She then said they should not have been accepted due to the size... however, they WERE accepted and then stuck in the office doorway where they apparently had no intention of doing anything with them. She then told me they are not a Fedex office (which everyone obviously knows) and they offer the service as a convenience to customers. Not much of a convenience having your packages sitting under a pile in the office for a week. She said she would put them out front and they would be picked up tomorrow, I said I wanted them back since they obviously didn't know what to do with them. She told me "I'm the manager here and you need to leave and don't ever come back... I'm reporting you to 'corporate'". Laughable! Now that she admitted she's the manager the whole situation is even more pathetic since she made several excuses for what happened, none of which were valid. Just say "sorry about that, we'll get these out tomorrow", stop with the BS excuses and arguing. Since she said she's going to "report" me to corporate (for her own incompetence!!), I asked what her name was and she ignored me and refused to tell me so I took a photo of her and asked 3 more times, eventually she said it was Theresa. If that name is correct, Theresa has no business being a manager of anything, she is incompetent and knows nothing about being a manager in the customer service industry -- you don't make excuses, you help the customer (especially if YOU are the one who screwed up as the "manager") and resolve the issue. You do NOT argue with the customer and make lame excuses when YOU caused the problem. I know it's hard to find help these days, but "Theresa" is a great example of what you get stuck with when you pay so little. She needs at least beginner level manager training.
