I haven't been at a Dollar Tree in a while, but this location definitely had a lot of good finds for pretty affordable prices. We stopped by here to grab some essentials that we forgot for our camping trip. We were able to find a cutting knife, some pillows, cleansing wipes, hygiene products, plates, and bowls. Everything was about $5 and under. Although there was only a few check out lines open, we were in and out of there pretty quick, and found most of the things we needed. I also loved their food options here, and can see it being used for quick affordable meals! read more

Horrible customer service I will never go back into this specific dollar store again! The lady who rang me up was so rude and disrespectful I walked out without purchasing my items! read more

I purchased a couple five dollar lanterns and they did not work for my space so I went to the exchange them the following day (I did not take my receipt when purchased). The manager on duty was extremely rude not only to me but to other customers as well. She said I could not exchange the lanterns because one looked used but they were in the exact same condition as the way I purchased them. She seemed to just not want to help. Then someone went in her line behind me and she scolded them that she was not open to get out of the line! I understand that everybody has bad days and to give grace but her attitude was unacceptable. Especially for a manager. Very unprofessional. Unfortunately I did not get her name. read more

Honestly I love dollar tree but today was one of the worst experiences I have had in any store , long story short I had two items at checkout upon realizing one of the items was more than I was willing to pay for it , I asked her to please remove as I was not going to be purchasing it anymore . She told me she couldn't do that and I would have to buy the item since she had already rung it up . I had to leave the store with nothing :( read more

Went in to buy some cleanser and gum. Couldn't believe the place! Looked like Andy Warhol had been in! The cleaning supplies were in such perfect order! I've never seen anything like this--especially in a dollar store! I mentioned it at the register and the young lady said it was "Chris"....i also mentioned to the manager how nice it looked, but she was unmoved. Not as enthusiastic as one would assume. Nobody gets good employees these days! read more

This dollar tree is one of two locations in Santa Maria! They carry the same items, and the pricing is the standard $1.25 per item although they couldn't include higher prices around $3dollars to $5 dollars. The isles are neatly organized and they include seasonal items, cleaning items, personal items which include shampoos facemasks, and other miscellaneous items such as canned goods. I didn't take any pictures or video since this is a store that I visit it frequently but if you're curious, I will update with pictures of the place in another review. This store is in a Royal grande, but there are two locations in Santa Maria. read more

I'm well aware this establishment is not what we call "high end" , however, I do NOT expect, nor will I stand for disrespectful treatment as a paying customer. "Rosie" a female supposed " Asst Mgr at this location went way way too far this evening. I have encountered her rude unhelpful behavior in the past but tonight was absolutely unacceptable In my book. What is interesting is that on more than one occasion, I have observed her stark different behavior towards Hispanic customers. I guess because I happen to be Caucasian, she feels she can treatment rudely-NO, that is unacceptable. The manager or District Mgr over this store needs to counsel this woman on customer service and I fully intend to contact the headquarters of Dollar Tree to ensure this is done That being said, there are numerous wonderful employees at this location, one young man in particular, I believe his name starts with a "K" but unfortunately I'm unable to remember the name at this time. He treats customers in a friendly, helpful efficient way-not anywhere near the behavior of this Rosie woman Enough is enough Dollar Tree- Do something about your staff- That is, if retaining customers matters whatsoever to you No customers equals no jobs for you read more

When are you going to start training; 1- Your Cashiers to look up and call for additional cashiers as needed? 2- Your Managers to watch the front end to help execute #1 above. Your front end service is the last impression you leave on customers‍ I saw at least 2 customers walk out without a purchase due to long lines. Along with people in this line complaining. All this while 2 employees standing at a closed register discussing why her drawer was off $1. Sad, could be doing so much more business. read more

Dollar Tree gets 5 Star rating just on its EXCELLENT finds; truly! and it's $1.00 each item!!! You will find party wear, gift bags/cards/wrapping/ribbons, kitchen/dinner wear, candy, canned goods, seasonings, reading books/stationary, toys, sodas, frozen items, whimsical items, etc. Again, there are so many excellent finds you must pay a visit. You will become a believer and a shopper! :) I believe I'm a savvy shopper :) I remember prices on items; therefore, will shop Dollar Tree to pay $1.00 for an item that is $2.99 plus or more at other stores. For instance, I got beautifully hand made Mothers Day cards that will cost $4 or more at other stores; Crystal party serving bowls that cost $5 at other stores, especially Smart and Final; and some Yardley soaps that I know are $3 & more at other stores as well. So, why shop anywhere else? Start your shopping day at Dollar Tree first :) read more

Store has enough lights to stay open till 8 and I got here at 7:50. And they wouldn't let me in even though it says they close. At 8 o'clock, I asked if I could get one item and they wouldn't let me inside the store. So what is it? Is it you close at 8 o'clock or 750? And there was other people shopping inside the store still i have never had such poor customer service it is now 801 and 6 people have just checked out and its no longer Just a dollar It's a $25 and then 3 dollars, $4 and $5. The bin and jerry's cost more here than it does at vons read more

Dollar Tree - Discount Store Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

A poor example of a dollar tree. The staff don't want to be there. There's usually only one cashier with a line to the back wall. Never any helium for balloons. Lights are usually off. Stuff all over the floors. read more

I've never been to a dollar tree that was as clean and organized as the one in arroyo grande and the 2 ladies working on Thursday night were the most helpful employees, one went out of her way to help me find doggie waste bags. Which rarely happens most of the time they just point and say down that way. I will definitely be going back there! read more

The terrible customer service from the lady on register 1 at 1:09 p.m Tuesday January 23rd I'd as rude as they come. No people or service skills whatsoever. Won't be back until she doesn't work here. The chubbu Kate with dark hair with low pitched voice. I'll go in later to find out her name. And update read more

FIVE STARS for the people who work here who have to deal with a very demanding public and even some people who are downright sick and nasty! Yesterday when I walked in, the girl normally on the register and the manager were cleaning up the area where a customer had just urinated all over a box over by the sox area. I was disgusted and felt so sorry these two had to clean up after someone who thought it was a public restroom. That wasn't all they've had to clean up, as earlier I had heard a person pulled down their pants and made a deposit into a box near that same side and also another time in the back room. THAT IS DISGUSTING! The amazing people that work here have to put up with a lot of different types of characters, but there are enough who are either mentally ill, young adults, homeless or criminals who seem to like to steal from this store and desecrate the store. My heart goes out to those who have to clean up after them or call the police on them. BUT, I give TWO STARS for whoever owns this company (upper management) who know these things go on and can't help these poor workers out and put a CAMERA to catch who is stealing and urinating and crapping all over the merchandise that these people making low wages have to clean up!! This store makes A LOT of money and I'm appalled at how little the upper management cares to help these workers out. They do an amazing job for how little I'm sure they get paid and the least they could do is help protect the workers by placing cameras in areas the customers steal, not just the cash register area where it's more than obvious they don't trust their own workers. read more

I went into this store yesterday. I couldn't believe how dirty it was trash on the floor merchandise on the floor extremely unorganized. The cashier seemed extremely nervous as soon as the manager walked up and she was literally shaking. I would suggest driving to Slo to the 99 cent store so much better. The store has gone downhill it's ghetto dirty poor management will never go there again. read more

This store is a value in any economy. From school supplies to simple cleaning products to stocking stuffers and craft supplies, this place literally has it all. My mom died last year, and I find myself buying items to decorate her headstone, or craft stuff to help with my grief. For a few dollars, anyone can stick a first aid kit with essential supplies like bandages, generic pedialyte, Motrin, ice packs, Various creams and things perfect for home boo boos The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the lines; they can be long. read more

Pretty sizable in square footage, (I'm pretty sure it is) the only dollar tree in the five cities (don't quote me, I could be wrong) so it's consistently on the busy side. The cashiers are stedfast with keeping their lines moving along in a productive and efficient manner. Merchandise is grouped with like items and there's actual employees visible on the sales floor interacting with the clientele. read more

I love Dollar Tree! First, nothing costs more than $1, which we can no longer say about their competitor who's name is now misleading. Second, they have a great selection of all sorts of items. My go to's include stationary/craft supplies, party supplies and kitchen goods, but they also have a good selection of frames and vases, wrapping supplies and greeting cards-which make it a great one-stop gift shop. Plus, their holiday offerings are super cute and plentiful. Third, it's organized. The shelves are usually full of product and not all mixed up with items that don't belong. It's easy to find what I'm looking for. Fourth, the employees are friendly and helpful. Big plus. And don't forget - everything costs $1 or less! So far, it's been this way in every Dollar Tree I've visited. Good show, Dollar Tree - keep up the good work! read more

I don't care what anyone says, I love the dollar store. They have the best craft supply isle ever. I can easily spend a whole hour here. Oh and they have a nice selection of party favors. read more

I just don't see Dollar Tree being as good a value since they raised their prices and at the same time reduced the size or the amount of the items that they sell, while the quality remains at the lower end of the spectrum!! Sorry Dollar Tree !! read more

Love the dollar tree but the employee Ryan at this location seems to always have Ana attitude. I come here regularly and have experienced it several times read more

Dollar tree was looking good They had everything I needed. Except for Doritos but Mabey I didn't look hard enough.. I must've went at a good time there was no one in line. Maryanne was my cashier. She was really funny & friendly. I always feel good about saving so much money here. Can not complain at all. I will go again & again. read more

This store is my favorite place to shop in the 5 cities. I can buy socks, name brand deodorant, takis, soft pretzels, cute dishes, car air fresheners, and stocking stuffers all for a dollar a pop. A few times a week I bring my little sister here after school and we share a frozen lemonade. The staff is always so friendly and helpful, and keeps the place clean and well organized. The snack aisles have really expanded over the past couple of months, and they have many many items that are well worth the dollar. read more

We visited The Dollar Tree for a few things we needed while visiting the area and I was amazed at the size of the store and all the awesome merchandise available! The store appears a bit cluttered but we were able to find what we needed right away and I wish I had more time to shop for treasures I am certain are there! The only kind of bad thing I witnessed was one of the cashiers was asked by a shopper if by chance there were any more of this certain item possibly in the back. He then asked a female cashier (manager? Supervisor?) that question. She snapped back with a somewhat sassy, "No!" But she caught herself and explained all they had was on the floor. Shoppers don't want to go spend their money, even if it's a dollar, and get sassy service. I appreciate she attempted to save herself but this should never happen in front of customers. The customer who had asked the question was uncomfortable after that and appeared slightly embarrassed. Be careful with your words and actions when you rely on repeat customers to secure your jobs. read more

This store has just about everything one could need, and all for a dollar! What I like most about this one is that it's very big and has a large fridge selection. They offer a great selection of seasonal decorations and teacher supplies. The staff is always very friendly and if they are out of an item you need they get a new shipment each week. read more

Upon arriving, I was impressed by the variety of selection and brand availability. My checkout experience left much to be desired. The cashier was not very friendly. I asked her to good a couple items (literally two) and she said I cannot she is only allowed to void two items and she already did so today. What?....she left me feeling confused so because she already voided her two items for the day, she was forcing me to purchase two items I did not want. I evaluated the situation - 3 people behind me in line, wasting $2, time to wait for manager to arrive...so not worth the eye rolling and time to void $2. Warning- make sure u want all the items before u get to cashier. read more

This place has the worst customer service I've seen in this town so far. My cashier( I don't usually add a name but will this time because she was by far the rudest person I've come across ) Marianne was just a horrible cashier. Not friendly at all . Shoved my items in a bag and acted bothered at having to check us customers out. She really should retire since she seems so unhappy at her job. Anyway , spend a little more and visit another store if you can. By far the worst experience I've had in Pismo so far. read more

Let me just say that I understand the Dollar Tree sells inexpensive items and that they get customer base from a wide variety of people. I have never though been into a Dollar Tree where the employees were so rude including the manager who barks over the intercom because someone had spilled shaving cream on the floor and that she was going to smell everyone's hands as they were leaving. Our cashier barked at me twice if I wanted a bag cuz I didn't respond quick enough on the first time. Her name was Marianne and she was about as rude and unsociable as a person could be. Needless to say that if I need to pick up any more inexpensive items I will just go to a different store and pay more to hopefully not have to deal with such rude employees. read more

This place definitely has a lot more choices then 99 cents store...well depending on what you want.

I love this store in A.G. it's part of my weekly shopping routine. I've never been disappointed by the staff or products. This morning I witnessed a customer make a fool out of herself by yelling at a woman coming into the store with her therapy dog walking on a leash next to the shopping basket. The obnoxious woman confronted the lady with the dog at the entrance door and said not to bring the dog in, it was not a therapy dog because it was not wearing a service dog jacket! The dog owner said it was a therapy dog turned her head and went about her shopping ignoring this nutty woman. The agitated woman was obviously looking for someone to argue with for any reason. She then started to yell at the manager demanding the lady and her dog be kicked out! The manager politely and professionally said she could do no such thing. Service dogs are allowed in the store unless they're were not being supervised. The rude customer made a spectacle of herself by yelling she was going to call the health department. The manager did an EXCELLENT job of not engaging any further in an argument. A little while later while finishing my own shopping I noticed the lady with her service dog and the lady who needs anger management therapy both shopping happy as can be. Good job store manager! read more

The inventory is great. The staff is a bunch of crack heads. Had a middle age Hispanic woman at the checkout counter today. There was literally 12 people in line so she opened up. It was pretty clear she was mad she had to actually earn her money. After she opened up she said ' I have 2 3 and now my line is open. No customer skills at all. The inventory is great here but who in the hell hires the staff? If you have a sixth grade education you can manage this store. Five stars for the inventory but a minus five for the rude staff. read more

I visit plenty of other Dollar Trees in the area and none are as horrible as this one. Yes, the lines are long and the shelves are sometimes a mess. When I'm paying a dollar for an item though I can overlook that. It's the rude employees that get me. I watched Anita, whom I assume is the manager, speak so poorly to a new hire at the register today while in line. If she speaks like that to them in front of customers I can't imagine how she speaks to them behind closed doors. Maybe they wouldn't be constantly understaffed if the people in charge weren't so rude. Also, who trains someone during a Saturday rush, seriously? read more
