On July 12,2023, around 9 am. I decided to go to the Dollar Tree after work to pick up a few balloons and a card to acknowledge my father's milestone of 80 years. I went to the Dollar Tree located 1333 Hilltop in Chicago Height, Il. Lately, the new hires that they have onboard are very unprofessional. The two Dollar Tree associates were standing at the front entrance having personal conversation. There were pre-filled balloons in the front of the store. I asked the associates "are there more balloons besides the pre- filled"? The young man answered, "No". I selected 3 balloons and a card. But I needed a weigh for hold the balloons. I saw the weights at the back near the refrigerator. I walked to the back and the sound from was a little loud. I heard a voice yelling excuse me From afar. The associated said that I was ignoring her. I stated that I didn't know she was speaking to me. Then the young man was very unprofessional. He stated that i crossed the orange line in the back. I did not see the line and there was no sign up about saying employee only. The young man got the weight and started to talk about me. I asked if there was someone who could help me? The young lady associate took my balloons and cards and said have a good day. You can leave. I asked for a name and number. They stated there is no number. I will not return to that location. I truly fear for safety. They may just physically assault customers. Like they have done recently. Please encourage people to stay away from the Chicago Heights location. read more
