My husband went into the Dollar Tree today to pick up some holiday cards, to his surprise there was a plethora of Christmas cards to choose from and for a great value. My husband raved about the superb customer service offered by the kind staff working at the Dollar Tree Mira Mesa, three lanes were open and the staff were friendly and hard working. Exemplary service was offered by cashier attendant Diego. He was courteous, timely, and made my husband feel welcome. This service really seems to stem from the top down. The store manager Johnny welcomed customers and was very personable. Johnny genuinely cared for the customers and was setting a great example for his team. The store manager Johnny also modeled to all how a leader should be. He made sure his staff were comfortable and assured them that their breaks would be coming. I think more retailers should exemplify this as staff can feel overloaded during the Christmas Holiday Season. Johnny and Team Dollar Tree, thank you for the great customer service and value products you offer. We will be coming back. Happy Holidays! read more

I always try to stop by this Dollar Tree to buy small things like towel hooks and other household items. Unfortunately, this particular location is always messy, things are scattered around and not organized in the right places. Many items are often out of stock as well. However, I still come here because it's close to my home, so I don't really have another option read more

Horrible service. I came to buy an Ulta gift card on February 13, when my wife opened the gift card, it was a "Starbucks" gift card with a fraudulent barcode on the back. I went to my local dollar tree to try and get a refund, but they told me to go to the dollar tree in Mira Mesa because I bought it there and they can issue me a refund but when I went, they told me they were not able to issue me a refund and try and call corporate. I then explain to the manager that corporate was not helping me and she then said there's nothing she can do and walked away after I told her I need my refund because corporate is not helping. I did not get her name, but she was an African-American lady. read more

Dollar Tree - Fraudulent gift card - Discount Store Near Me - San Diego, California

Store in disarray and they are out of everything. Empty shelves. Never again. Service was ok but employees seemed scrambled, not sure where gift paper, bows etc were located? Poor selection. read more

I stopped at this place for picking up some containers. This is located in big shopping plaza, the parking is shared, and a couple of rounds you should be able to find a spot. The store is well maintained and, one time, all the items that the dollar store will typically contain. The staff is friendly and willing to help. I got what I needed, and check out was easy. read more

I went to this Dollar Tree in Mira Mesa this afternoon to get some dog treats. The store was very busy, with only one cashier. I placed approximately 25 items in my cart and wandered over to aisle 4, where everyone was lined up to check out. I was approximately 10th in line. When I finally got to check out, I placed all of my items on the scanning belt. Midway through scanning, the cashier said " We don't have any bags today." I stood there quite stunned. I asked how was I supposed to get these to my car without a bag? She said that I could put the items in the cart, go get the car, pull up to front of the store, get out, come in to get the cart, place items in my car, and return the cart. Really??? I told her to void the items that she had already scanned and said I would not be so inconvenienced. I told her that the store should be closed if no bags were available. Gosh, they could have at least put a sign on the front door to inform people before coming in to shop. There was a sign on the door " No balloons today." Manager, please open up more cashier lanes when a line is crammed with 10 customers. And, I highly recommend that your store has some as essential as BAGS, before opening up in the morning read more

This location was ok. Seemed like they were busy during the holiday season, so lots of empty homes. Only had one line and no back up. The girl was super friendly though and tried her best! read more

This dollar tree is the same as any other dollar tree that I've been to except I have experienced service that was above and beyond. I was looking for white post board that I was gonna use at home. I was talking to my mom on the phone. We were on speakerphone. I said I was looking for white poster board and it was not available on the rack display. All of a sudden one of the ladies on the other aisle came over and said that she was gonna go at the back and check if there was any white poster boards available for me to buy. I was so amazed and impressed by her reaction in response to my concerns. Although she came out from the back to tell me that they're out of the white posterboard, still the kind of service that she gave was commendable. That is why I am making this review. Sorry, I was not able to get her name, but I hope to see more people like her in the retail industry. Great Job! read more

I consider this store the Nordstrom of value stores lol! They have reasonable prices for decent products. I only wish they had an honor system where you pay and go instead of having to wait for cashiers to scan every damn item... Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. God forbid you get behind the person who has over 100 items on the first of the month hahaha Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. People, only come here for candy and greetings cards please! Holla gotta make that dollar! read more

Dollar Tree - I'm just trying to be transparent - Discount Store Near Me - San Diego, California

ZERO STARS!!! The Cashier ANDY at the Mira Mesa Location is sooooo rude!!! He didn't say one word to me!!! Not a Hello...never gave me my total... and never said Thank You! So unfriendly!!! He should not work with the public!!! He is lucky I didn't call him out...next time I will read more

I went into the store today for some quick necessities, and oh my goodness! The store is extremely well-organized, and the atmosphere is fantastic! Johnnnny greeted me and he also was my cashier! He exudes a wonderful and positive aura! I really like how clean the store is! Shopping and checking was a breeze, and Johnny's personality and attitude are what make me happy to live in Mira Mesa and shop there. read more

Dollar Tree - Cool sunglasses - Discount Store Near Me - San Diego, California

Good Dollar Tree where I can usually find items that I need for my arts & crafts as well as cleaning supplies for home. If I need better quality artsy items then I go to Michaels, but at this Dollar Tree I have found great findings. They keep changing their supplies, so if you find a deal of something that you like or frequently use, get a bunch of them (example: cheap hair color) because you won't always get the same if you go the following week. read more

I try not to go to this particular location in the Mira Mesa Mall because every time I do stop in, the shelves are close to empty or so jumbled up, you can't find anything. Checkout is usually a long wait for me, also....typically only one cashier with long lines. There are plenty of other Dollar Trees around that are much nicer and better well-run that are worth the extra few minutes to drive to. read more

The manager of this location is I'll informed of ADA laws and and proceeded to yell at me and over me while I was attempting to inform him that my service dog provides a specific task and was presently in training. One of his tasks is to be off leash and seek my family out in case I have a medical emergency. Another of his tasks is to jump on me, giving me a hug to calm me down keeping me from seizing or having a panic attack. Which my service dog was required to do due to after being verbally attacked from the store manager. I was not breaking any rules, my service dog was never more than 2ft away from me at any point nor was he showing any signs of aggression or fear regardless of what the manager insists. The management felt that due to my dogs breed (German shepherd) he was required to be on leash because he would attack another PET he allows in his stores. The handler, upon me finally explaining myself and saying "he's being trained off leash due to my medical requirements, because I have epilepsy and if I get wrapped in a leash I could choke myself" he responded saying "that's fine, go ahead" suggesting it was okay for me to indeed choke and die on his store floor. I will indeed be contacting corporate. Nothing wrong with the store itself, just the shitty, Poorly informed, aggressive management who might I add, wasn't even in uniform. read more

Dollar Tree - My service dog who the management of this dollar tree chose to verbally abuse, and the handler. - Discount Store Near Me - San Diego, California

Lately it has been crazy long lines... so if you ever do go be prepared to wait. Otherwise they have great stuff!

Avoid the manager Andy if you can. He disappeared without a word when he was supposed to be helping us and was probably high. My husband and I let a cashier know we had a bulk online order to pick up. She paged Andy and he took several minutes to come out of the break room. He acted like he was high on drugs. After we let him know about the order pick up and asked us to wait and then helped a few other customers in line after us. He then got our order information and said he would go to the back to get it. After waiting for a long time come to find he just straight up disappeared from the store. In total we had waited 20 minutes for his help and didn't even get our items. Absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. read more

Two years ago, I would have given this Dollar Tree 4-stars, but it has fallen a victim to the times. There were gaping wholes on the shelves, and several of our regular items were no longer being carried. The greeting card section is still great, with 2/$1 Hallmark cards still available. At 7:00pm on a Thursday, there was one cashier with six customers in line. read more

My gf didn't want to go here on vacation because she just doesn't like these type of stores. But this one was pretty stocked and clean. I ended up looking at gardening stuff and didn't buy anything because I already had some items. read more

Nothing is 99 cents here and they have the absolute worse attitudes I have ever seen (Like what you'd see on a tik tok or something) They let their vendors do whatever they want and speak to paying customers like we are less than them or in need of them. What is this world coming too? Now we have cater to people who don't want to work and basically pay to kiss their butts. Havi is the manager (or lack thereof) - Horrible hygiene, horrible attitude, no sense of what this store is there for. This place started off so nice but now Dollar tree is Like Nordstrom to their Pic and Save. Stop wasting so much money here - Even Vons is cheaper!! read more

My one stop when it comes to greeting cards, balloons and party decor. They have such cute gift wrapping and gift bags for only a $1 compared to other stores selling similar ones for much more. This location is pretty small but it has everything you need with less selection though. I learned that you cannot bring your own balloons into the blow up. But it's only $1 each here for all their Mylar balloons. Such a great deal! I get all my balloons here when I can. They also have home goods, food, candy, makeup and baby supplies. It's pretty much a one stop shop for $1! read more

Dollar Tree - Discount Store Near Me - San Diego, California

My absolutely favorite part about any Dollar Tree are the BALLOONS. I didn't get any today but I always make a stop here when I'm attending a birthday. Today I grabbed a few things..I've never bought brownie mix from here before so I figured I would try today. They're baking in the oven as we speak. In addition, found some goods such as a ceramic toothbrush holder & hand sanitizer & birthday candles. Always a pleasure to walk around in even when I don't buy anything. Knick knacks are so neat to look at, and I almost always want to come out of the store with at least one item... read more

Dollar Tree - Goodies from Dollar Tree - Discount Store Near Me - San Diego, California

One star is one star too many after my experience today. I got into line a little before 5pm. There were probably 3-4 people in front of and behind me. The other register had about the same number of people. After waiting for about 10-12 minutes, the person at the front of the line asked if the cashier would be coming back. The employee at the other register said the other employee left because the shift was over and he didn't have to tell us when their shifts ended. He was very rude and unprofessional. He did not provide any level of customer service whatsoever. There was no communication that the line would be closing and to move to another line. In fact, the register light remained on. I am very disappointed and hope that there will be follow up. read more

My daughter and I wanted to check out this Dollar Tree. It's located right next to Marshall's. This store was busy as we entered. Long lines. As we walked around, we saw many cool things but my daughter wanted to look at the toys. She found something cool which was a dart board without the sharp needle like point. I checked it and it was safe. We also saw dolls and other stuff. Pretty cool location. Very busy but the lines went fast. The guy was very friendly and kind of funny. There wasn't too much room to move around inside. Up front there were balloons that you can get. Pretty descent place but I didn't find anything. Parking is right in front. Plenty of spaces. read more

the dollar store has everything!!! i was really surprise to see all the items they sell, home, school, kitchen, party, food, snacks, etc. Then again you get what you pay for... don't expect top quality brands/products. Its a little bit of a headache in here -- things all over the place and a little disorganized. I just came here to buy pregnancy test cz obviously they're only 1$ vs 10$ at CVS or Vons, etc. Not sure how accurate they are but heard they work LOL read more

In terms of Dollar Trees this one is just okay. VERY disorganized compared to some of the stores I've been in (around the country actually) so I know they can do better. They do have a nice selection of food items in cooler, which is weird to me, but if you were hungry you could get something decent for $1. They have your typical nice selection of holiday items. We were there to purchase a bunch of plastic Easter eggs for newborn photos. You can't be a dozen plastic eggs for $1 honestly. They have craft items, pet things, books, toys, cooking tools, candles, cards, you name it! Some things are a real deal, some things are just cheap junk you probably don't need. So you can use your judgement on which are which. Parking isn't terrible either. The Cashier we got was rather indifferent but he wasn't rude so I'd say that's fine. Overall not a bad place to get stuff and work checking out. Lots of little shops nearby so wander around and look. read more

You really can't beat the deals here! I come for gift bags and greeting cards mostly but almost always score new deals! I don't see why people pay $5-6 for gift bags that just get thrown away. They actually have nice non looking cheap ones here! I get greeting cards here for kids birthday parties as they too get thrown away. I'll splurge on nice gift cards for special friends elsewhere. Today I found my favorite toothpaste!!! I pay $3.50 for it at target so I was so excited to see it here!! I also only use foam hand soap it's the easiest to wash off. I found some here and got one to try out at home! This will be another deal as the ones I normally buy at target are $3 each. Sometimes my kids will get fun money from grandma and I took them here once to spend their loot. They seriously thought it was the best thing ever!!! There's a gentleman named Kevin that works here who is just wonderful!!! He's funny, extremely kind, and really seems to love his job. This world would be a better place if there was more people like him! He makes me smile when I see him :) read more

It's doesn't feel very clean when you walk in and for this they lose a point. But there are excellent deals and you can often get name brands that cost $5 or $10 for $1. It's fun to shop here because of the variety and you never know what's going to be there next. Often a long line to check out. read more

JOHNNNNNY, is the greatest . Went in their totally confused as to where to locate some items that i needed for work. Even though i must of asked him 100 times where something was he always treated me with respect. Thank you for employing such nice and respectful employees. Made my shopping experience such a joy. read more

I'm sure haters be hating, but I love dollar tree. I'm a girl who's practical and the dollar tree has my basic needs. I come here to buy decorations for work because it's cheap and it does the job! Also, I buy toilet paper here because it's cheap and it's it's good quality lol! Definitely a great place for easy and cheap party decor. read more

One cashier + line around the store like the one to get on Space Mountain + shift change on lone cashier's register while people have been waiting for over 30 mins = DISASTAAAAAAR *wompwompwomp* I should've gotten at least a free ride out of it, dammit read more

Dollar Tree - Discount Store Near Me - San Diego, California

I love the Dollar Tree! If you're looking for something made in China and the quality doesn't matter, this is the place to be! The lines here actually are pretty fast and the cashiers are efficient. I love to get my gift wrap and gift bags here! You definitely can't beat the price! There are also really cheap hair ties that cost $2-3 at target but here, it's only $1! Stop by and I guarantee you won't leave empty-handed! The parking lot can sometimes get crowded because there are a ton shops in this plaza so plan accordingly! read more

Dollar Tree is a wonderful land of unexpected discounted items! As the name implies, everything is $1. Some of the value items I love are: - balloons - party supplies (plates, utensils, napkins, decoration) - greeting cards, wrapping paper, gift bags - batteries - seasonal items (Halloween, Christmas, thanksgiving) - name brand candies - party favors for kids You get what you pay for though. So the batteries may not last as long as the brand name or the candy comes in smaller quantities but it's still a great deal! If you got some time to kill, come roam the aisles of Dollar Tree. read more

Every dollar tree is a bit different and I liked that there's different stuff at different location but at the same time that's what I dislike. LOL. I mean that means I got to travel to different location just to get something I know they have. This place is usually clean and not too crowded. It's always great to find everyday item that I would have paid $3 for at target. I like their card selections. I'm usually able to get a nice birthday card or a card for other occasions. Better than paying for more. Enjoy. read more

I like Dollar Tree. Yes, they sell low quality items (for the most part, but there are exceptions) but you get what you pay for. Unlike Dollar General which has a lot of items that cost over a dollar, every single item in Dollar Tree is just $1. There are several items that I get on a regular basis from Dollar Tree. Of course they are things that I don't care about the qualities so much, e.g. toilet bowl cleaning tablets, stationery, screwdrivers, just random schtuff. I don't think I will ever get their cosmetics and skin care products, I don't want to risk my skin / body / health. Other than the usual things that I get, they actually have a wide variety of products. Cosmetics, skin care, housewares, automotive products, and pet supplies... many things. And even pregnancy test! Really? ONE DOLLAR PREGNANCY TEST? I am concerned about those people using it and I think that accounts for the BABY BOOMS! read more

This one seems smaller than the Aero drive location, but it's nice and orderly. I'm a fan of the cherry flavored Icee cups (4 cups for a $1), they seem to sell out, but they will restock! During peak hours expect a good wait as they don't seem to have enough checkers/check stands open. It's a welcome addition to the Mira Mesa mall. read more

One stop place to get cheap holiday decorations, cards, and party supplies. This location is on the smaller side which makes it hard to social distance. Make sure you read the fine print with some of the items you buy like foil, wrapping paper, saran wrap etc. are cheap but have a little amount in the package. Its also a good place to get some good kitchen supplies! read more

The worker or manger there, yelled at me for looking at balloons saying "get out of here, there's no more balloons for you." Very rude way of addressing a customer who was just looking around and would've given it no stars if able to. read more

This Dollar Tree location opened up three months ago; while it's an improvement over the Aero Drive/Murphy Canyon location, it's still no 99-Cent Store. PROS: Very clean and orderly, nice selection of items, a surprisingly decent frozen food and grocery staples section, everything's a dollar CONS: Checkout lines are crazy long (perhaps as time passes, the cashiers'll get better), stuff that you may like one day may not be available the next read more

Balloons filled with helium for a buck!!!! And they are the foil ones! I bring my kids balloons every month...balloons keep everyone happy! Be careful though you might spend a grip of money on stuff you don't need but it seems lie a great idea at the moment. read more

I'm not exactly sure what I should expect out of a Dollar Tree, but this place def exceeds my expectations. It's a pretty standard dollar store, and one thing I noticed is that they have Mylar balloons for a buck. Pretty sweet! I usually come here to get random things for decorating the office at various holidays, etc. They seem to usually only have 1 cashier working which is somewhat annoying because there's always a line. But the people who work here seem really friendly and really efficient! read more
