I love the dollar tree. Great place to save money on lots of cool stuff. Gift bags, kitchen stuff ,candles, holiday decor etc. This store is clean and well organized, however I had the most awkward experience here about a week ago on a sat night. It was a busy evening with 2 female clerks working inside. Also there was a gentleman outside reading (probably on a break ( with a dt name tag on outside. As we were checking out there was an older man checking out in front of me and the clerk says to him as he grabs a candy bar "you're gonna buy me one of those right?" I thought maybe they knew each other until he just looked at her kinda laughed awkwardly and didn't reply. She goes on to tell him how she hasn't eaten since that morning and she didn't bring any money to work. So she asked him again "so you gonna buy me a candy bar" he reluctantly says "sure I guess it's not good not to eat" so she rings it up ,charges him then loudly yells across the store to the other lady "hey this guy bought me a candy bar im keeping his receipt as proof" and the other lady yells back to the customer "did you buy that for her?" This guy looks SO embarrassed. He mumbles yes and gets out of there quickly. We check out and on our way out the guy in his break reading says he us hungry and asks for spare change which we did give him. I hesitated to write this because I don't want to seem heartless to someone who is hungry but the whole experience was just so strange. Maybe the company should give it's employees a few items from the store to eat on shift or something? I don't know but it really wasn't ok the way the woman put that older man in the spot and honestly I think she only did it because he A. Was a man and B. Older. I feel she took advantage of him. I hope that the manager or corporate see this so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. Your employees shouldn't have to beg and bully customers to feed them because they are starving! read more
