I shop in numerous stores in the area surrounding this Dollar Tree location and carry my teacup Yorkshire Terrier with me in a tiny purse almost all the time. It has never been an issue in any store that I have visited. My dog is about three pounds and was quiet and In fact she was almost asleep. I walked into the Dollar Tree Store today at 11:04am and picked up a few hardware items. Before I could get to checkout, the manager told me that dogs were not allowed in the store. I asked if I could just purchase the items that I had in my hand and she shook her head "no". Now... I have carried this tiny dog (in her special carrier) into Sam's Club, Walmart, Shoppers, Giant, Patals Grocery Store, Wendy's , Home Depot, Lowe's, Walgreens Subway and other stores with no problem. I'm not sure why this Dollar Tree Store manager had an issue. There are no signs posted indicating that dogs are not allowed. I would never walk in with a dog on a leash unless it was a Service Dog. In fact, what about "Service Dogs" and teacup dogs secured properly in a safe and hygienic carrier??? My little one was in a purse carrier... I started to question the manager but, did not want to cause any type of chaos. ISo, i put the items down, left and went to Dollar General. I was not pleased. When i got home, I called the store and no one answered the phone. This did not make the situation any better. I attempted to contact the Dollar Tree Headquarters to absolutely no avail. So, what could have been resolved is in writing in the form of a review to let everyone know. As a good customer, i am not pleased at all with what took place today. The store is not usually stocked well but, good for small items that are needed. Once in awhile, you may find some really good items if you search through the misplaced items. At times, persons asking for money are a few feet away from the front door and this is not good for seniors that may want to shop there. I shop there because it's convenient and have been a customer for many years. This may need to change... When one establishment closes, another will likely open and offer better service. read more
