What? No love for The Dollar Tree? I'm more than a little surprised that there aren't any reviews. Where else can you put 50 items in your cart and only pay $50.00 + tax? The Dollar Tree is great. I've been able to build my book library back up, after losing so many in the flood, last year. The West Monroe's location has been very lacking in books, lately. I hope that doesn't mean that they're no longer going to stop stocking books. That's the main reason I go, other than toothpaste, aluminum foil, and assorted other things that would normally cost me at least twice as much anywhere else.
Don't buy thumb tacks from them, though. For some reason, they snap in half if you hang anything from them. Maybe I just bought a bad package. But everything I hung from them, no matter how light, caused them to break within a week. Also, I bought some pillow cases from there once. They fell apart after one wash and the dye in the pillow cases leaked out into the washing machine, turning the clothes I was washing with them a nice red color.
They could definitely use some more cashiers, and friendly ones, at that. Every time I go in, there's a line about nine people deep. The woman at the register always looks like she's ready to go postal. And when makes she makes an announcement that she needs another cashier to help check, the disdain in her voice could cut through a diamond. I guess it's a situation of "you get what you pay for". After all, everything IS $1.00 or less. Still, if they wouldn't wait until the line is unreasonably long to call another cashier up front to check, this would have been a five star review. read more
