The company recently started selling items that are more than the standard $1.25, to offer a higher variety of items to customers. This makes sense since Dollar Tree is owned by the same parent company as Family Dollar. However, today I went in for a few items and found a really great deal, Tyson chicken nuggets for $1.25! Or, so I thought anyway. It turns out the employees are allowed to stock items anywhere they feel like, and regardless to what the shelf says, it may or MAY NOT be $1.25. with this new "dollar plus" items can be anywhere up to $5.00. (Now, these higher marked items should be in a particularly labeled area so a customer knows it will be a higher price) Nevertheless, the manager completely accepts that the store is stocked incorrectly, but still demands customers pay whatever price is at the register.
