This used to be the 99 cents store. Now it's the Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree has a great selection of low cost goods for us consumers. Over the years, because of inflation and the rising cost of living, they had to raise prices. When the politicians fail to deliver their promises to lowering the cost of living, it gets passed down to the businesses and then the people. Some complain that the Dollar Tree isn't the Dollar Tree because they don't sell things at one dollar. I agree. It's one dollar and twenty-five cents or more. This isn't an isolated problem taking place in California. It's happening everywhere, blue and red. Many low budget stores are forced to raise prices when the cost of living goes up. This is why, you as the voter, if you vote, must hold the politicians accountable. Not say, I don't want to see the other party take in charge or it must be a conspiracy. When you let the politicians do whatever that want, and shout comments like it's fake, or fake news, it's you who pays the price. Not them because they're wealthy class people who make tons of money and can afford anything they want while the working class, middle and poor, pay the price and complain why life isn't fair. Calling it a scam, well, show me a place in Simi Valley, that sells a large selection of consumer goods for a dollar or less? Because right now, I can't find any. The store is clean, the shelves are stocked, and organized. You can find lots of items easily. If you're lucky, sometimes they get stuff from places like Target and Walmart, and sell them for a low cost. Now as far as customer service is concerned, you'll be lucky if there are more than one cashier. Just like the 99 cents before, the dollar tree has one to two cashiers through out the day. This location has always had problems hiring people. As always, when people get hired, they make excuses to why they can't work certain days, weekends and holidays. The burden is put on the store and us consumers have to stand in long lines, just to get out. In the end, the dollar tree in this location is a great place to shop. Grant you, they don't sell things at a dollar as it can go from one dollar and twenty five cents up to five dollars or more. But that's the cost of living today. Stop with the nonsense that you want things to change. Change only happens when you're forced to vote out the people that you generally support. Hold them accountable! Stop defending them because they represent you're beliefs. If you want the cost of living to go down, and it can, by voting out the politicians. Blaming businesses isn't the solution as they take a big hit as well and when people stop shopping, they go out of business. But as long as places like the Dollar Tree exist, there are people who need the goods for a low cost in order to survive. read more

The store is located next to a grocery outlet, in a large plaza. Plenty of self park parking spaces. Rubi was really nice and sweet. As she had finished with the person in front of us, she kindly asked if we needed any bags? They have some wine for $1.25/ bottle. I didn't get any but cheaper than a beer can. read more

Dollar Tree - Discount Store Near Me - Simi Valley, California

This store is a scam! Nothing is a dollar anymore! The cheapest item is 1.25, so what's with the false marketing! And good number of items are more than 1.25. Plus they have insufficient number of people at the cashiers this poor employees have to deal with frustrating customers. Skip this store and spend more at target. read more

We were out on a walk and decided to pop into the local Dollar Tree -- and WOW, we were blown away by how organized this store was! We've been in plenty of Dollar Trees before and, let's be real, they can sometimes feel like a Ross... disorganized, shelves half-empty, and things all over the place. But this one? Impeccable. Clean, tidy, fully stocked, and everything in its place. The manager on duty even stopped to ask if we were looking for anything in particular, and we had to compliment them on how well the store was kept. Easily one of the best Dollar Trees we've ever been to. Whether you're after kitchen essentials, holiday goodies, crafts, beauty supplies, or even a little something for the car -- this spot probably has it. A total gem in the world of dollar stores! read more

Love is in the air at Dollar Tree. All the Valentine goods are in for the 2nd week of January. There was also some Easter items. The store overall is very clean and as organized as possible. The staff is always nice and quick at this location. I usually stop by to pick up gift bags and cards. Today was a large gift bag and a card that came out to $1.88 total. read more

Typical Dollar Tree, lots of inexpensive stuff. Store is clean and tidy for a bargain store. Took our 6 year old for a little inexpensive play stuff. Plenty to pick from. What set this store apart was the courteous service to every customer by the checker in our lane. The lines were 10 to 15 deep and a call for a 2nd checker hadnt brought one yet. This didn't faze Amber. She just smiled and greeted every customer and handled the long line with courtesy and efficiency. This bumped an average store rating to 5 star for great service. read more

Great bargains on holiday decor! They get a quick supply of turnaround holiday items and display it

Not sure why I continue to torture myself with this place. I walk in and there is only 1 register open. The line from the register went down the aisle, almost to the back of the store. I don't even think the cashier was aware of the long line. I walked around the store and picked up my items. I returned to the checkouts to I find that they had actually opened a 2nd register. I get in line, probably end up being 5th in that line. The cashier then realizes there is some water spilled on the floor. He finishes his customer and tells all of us to go to the other line. I'm now probably 8th in that line. He goes all the way to the back, comes back with a mop & bucket for a small spill that could have been cleaned up with a paper towel. He finishes cleaning the spill, then reopens his line to new customers just walking up, and leaves us, the ones he sent away, standing in the long line. This is so typical for this place. It's the absolute worst customer service of any retail store. I tell myself this is the last time I'm coming here, but that probably wouldn't be the truth. Just because their merchandise is cheap, doesn't give them the right to provide such terrible service. *note that the pic is from my previous trip where I experienced the same situation with 1 cashier and a huge line. read more

Dollar Tree - One cashier with a line that wraps around the store!! - Discount Store Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Consistently understaffed with long slow lines. I guess they fulfill a market niche but it is always a miserable experience.

Great selection of products, nicely organized, and they have an amazing assortment of balloons.

People here hate their jobs, they always have stank face. As many people mentioned long lines and sh*t service!! Customers don't expect you to love your job but also you get paid to be there so act like you do read more

I stopped by this Dollar Tree since it's near my work and my sister wanted me to see if they had this sesame makeup kit. I found parking easily because it's in a big plaza and I been in this plaza before when I went to the T-Mobile store. The store is like any other dollar tree so you can't expect much. The makeup aisle is on the left when you walk in but I didn't see any sesame makeup stuff. Since I was already here I also got wrapping paper and a card for my friend gift this weekend. I was also able to find my watermelon gummies which dollar tree only has now so I think the trip was worth it. read more

Watch out for the manager there named Sam. I pointed out to her today that the food on their shelves is expired by three months and she walked away and said "oh". I then told her if she doesn't take it off the shelves which can make people sick, that I will let her corporate office know, and she told me that was a threat and called the police on me....Bwahahaha!! The true threat is allowing a person like her to manage a store and allowing customers to purchase expired food that could ultimately make them sick or die. I will contact their corporate headquarters since are located on the East Coast tomorrow. She needs to be fired!!!! Buyer beware of this store and its food read more

The older white male cashier named Jason who was working the register today at 12:41pm closest to the door was blatantly racist and also seemed to take way too much interest in the children in the store, particularly the little girls. He made the 12yr old in line in front of us extremely uncomfortable, and then went out of his way to be rude to my husband and I in a way that made it very clear we were not welcome there. read more

What I really hate about this place (and not just this location. It's all the Dollar Trees) is how the cashier has to abandon the checkout line and go blow up countless balloons for some customer who needs them for whatever reason. The shoppers can stand there in line for 5 minutes or more while the cashier plays with the balloons. What a dopey policy. Why can't other employees blow up the balloons? Don't they want to make money? I'm not the only shopper who just puts down my items on the nearest shelf or even the floor when we see that the cashier isn't going to be back for a while. A complete disregard for the customers' time. Find another way to do this Dollar Tree. The customer deserves better. read more

Looking for a step stool, gal told me where to look and there wasn't one. My sister really needed one so she can get in bed after a big surgery. I told the gal there wasn't one and she went out of her way to locate it. A million good karma points to her. Her name might be Samayre--(as on the receipt), but cute, short with black hair and a smile to light up the store. Thank you for doing your job and then some!!! She is EXACTLY what any store needs to make customers happy. read more

So many rude people working at this store. There is an older lady stocking at night who is beyond rude. The store is a mess and only has one cash register open most of the time while the other employees are just standing around. read more

This location always has very long lines. I walked in today and there was one cashier with a line stretching all the way towards the back of the store. There were two other employees to the left both just standing there and I asked them Why is the line so long and their response was they just got there. Then the one guy was a complete smart ass and told me to try Walmart that was a complete unprofessional statement. I will never shop at this dollar tree ever again. Time 3 PM on 2/18 I am now heading to Walmart on Tapo st where I can use self checkout in 2 minutes. read more

Terrible staff, workers and store in general. Bought gum that ended up with straight up mold on it, and when I came into show them they couldn't give a shit less. They gave me attitude and didn't give me anything back in return, absolutely nothing. Workers suck still surprised this happened. read more

went in for a couple of cards and wrapping paper. Stood in line and cashier closed her line. Told someone behind me she was closed. When my daughter came to stand next to me cashier thought she was a new customer, I explained she was with me. Cashier Started YELLING me about how she was close?? Totally uncalled for and rediculous! oh ya, she was the manager!! get a life lady! read more

I would give this review 0stars if possible.After waiting in line with 10 people the manager finally arrived opening a second register only to take anyone who jumped the long line I was in. When I spoke to him after I finally checked out, he was rude and argumentative with me. I hope the corporate office reads this review and straightens him out! read more

never enough check out staff. Poorly managed. Lines are way too long. Store is dirty at times.

Minimal front end staffing, even on holiday. Checkout time is slowed as well due to personal conversations.

If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. They have it all, and then some. Can't visit too often, it's like being sucked into a vortex. Kitchen supplies, office supplies, holiday supplies, crafting junk etc. I got a coloring book that has sarcastic phrases and some Valentine's cards for some elderly folks in Sacramento. And, mints. read more

Worker named Tammy gave us a lot of attitude and was being very rude. I felt very offended, uncomfortable, and disrespected.

Just left here! Lines were do Ling with only two cashiers. I couldn't wait any longer because our line did t move and I had a nail appointment and would of been late. It's Saturday morning! Get it together people. I left my stuff and won't be back. I'll stick to the one by my house. read more

I just needed a few things. We were in the area and dropped in to see if they had what was needed, they did. Easy shopping and fast check out and the price was right. We even found a few unexpected treats amongst the aisles, so be aware of the possibility to be tempted into buying more than you came for. Then again at these prices it's no big deal. read more

By far the most unorganized dollar tree I've ever been to. When you go through each aisle, it looks like it was blown away by a tornado. Lacks in leadership as well. Just for example on the picture shown below. Whoever is behind that office clearly does not want to deal with the busy crowd. That employee has been knocking for good 5 mins read more

Ok 1st off this place is not will organized. The merchandise is all over the place and they don't have enough workers in the store. Also I am very adamant on the wearing of mask it's a wearing of mask during this pandemic. I saw a customer that did not have her mask on and nobody said anything. It's very important to put on your mask to keep others from being sick. I think I will avoid this store at all cost because I was already in there but I was in line to get something for my mother so anyway I had on my mask And I am fully vaccinated. I just wish the employees would have said something to this customer because you are putting other people's lives in jeopardy. read more

The last two time I have been in this store I have waiting in a long line with one cashier and they open another line and don't take the next people. Today, I said something to the manager Netty and she didn't even reply to me. (I was stern, but not rude). I asked her if she heard me and all she said was "ya". Never shopping their again!! I overlooked the filthy store and the crowds, but can't get over a rude manager!! read more

Vanessa, the manger or shift leader..not sure her position has some of the worst customer skills I've ever seen. When dealing with customers it is customary to look at them. Address them directly, NOT yell for a cashier asking if the customer (me) had been told that the item they were trying to buy wasn't for sale (That's a whole other issue). I was very patient and understanding with the issue yet this person would not even look at me. It wasn't in a shy kind of way it was more like she couldn't even be bothered to explain. If you don't like people don't work in customer service. read more

Do not shop at this location. they have the most terrible costumer service, I was there today and an employee name JASÓN was so rude and was even using profanity when speaking to me in-front of my children, there were other employees that saw this and did nothing. He even said " what a shitty way to start my shift" he was so upset that there was a big line. PLEASE! if you don't like what you do look for another job, but don't ruin other people's day with your bad attitude. read more

Hands down the worse DT I've been too, and I've been through many throughout CA. The reason why this one is quite bad, the management. Yhe cashiers are friendly but the manager Vanessa is rude and lazy. Any time I go there and the lines are over 20 customers (which happens quite often) there is only 1 cashier, the manager goes into her office or acts like she ia busy by pretending to stock. The old manager would go and help out at the registers. Also this DT is never stocked. This was before the CV. There are always boxes and bins on carts blocking aisles. The wait in line can be anywhere from 7 to even 25 mins. There is no set up for lines so people get confused and argue about people cutting. They never pickup their phone either. Regional manager needs to step in. read more

Not everything is $1.25 anymore! I was busy loading the party supply stuff I got and other things and by the time I was done while they were still ringing me up, I looked and my total was already over $50 and I didn't have that many items! Got my receipt and saw that some were $3. Greeting cards used to be 2 for $1 but now they are 1 for $1. Still not bad for colorful cardboard I guess. Even the dollar tree is now expensive! Still probably the cheaper place to go to for balloons and other cheap-quality party stuff but be careful when you shop there and look at the prices (though I don't remember seeing prices displayed as I was not looking for them, just assumed I was buying 1.25 items). Quite disappointed as you can't really multiply everything by $1.25 anymore to know how much you're spending. Such a turn off, but I get it, everything has gone up, but they definitely need to change their name as the name doesn't fit the store anymore. read more

Dollar tree is stepping it up . They have many things that are nice and worth your money. I walked in and saw a rack of beautiful valentines cards for a buck. They were almost as good as papyrus cards. Very impressed. I go there for my fake Kleenex tissues. I call it fake because it is as good as Kleenex tissues. Only you pay one buck instead of 2 or more or less depending on where you buy your tissues. I swear by these tissues. They are soft and perfect. They are called Scotties. Also if you want to have a movie night grab some gummy bears and endless amount of candy for a buck. You won't be disappointed. read more
