Currently "in training" as one of the new team members believed to be hired and tasked to assist in facilitation of this location revival.
I, like almost everyone (or at least those it's come up with) "F$&KN LOVE a dollar store!
The selection and price point make upgrades, redecorating ideas, food and essentials within reach and worth a try regardless of any annual house hold income. The more I searched for information and understanding, the more I read about the hype, ethics, etc.. the more I liked it... as far as national corporate chain stores go.
As far as this location goes: it appears that on a national level, they is movement in integrating and combining Family Dollar and Dollar Tree (it's sister company that until recently only few similarities and generic and sometimes conflicting corporate structuring) Yet now, it appears that Dollar Trees are being brought into Family Dollars and that corporate model is taking over its host... sometimes gradually and sometimes as a new location.
Before being hired and starting to make observations, as a customer, I would always start out towards Family Dollar first, it always was my first stop on my brick and mortar rounds.
I would easily dismissed as a fraud and a liar it I did not acknowledge the obviously floundering and seemingly immeasurable progress up or down. So when you are in the store, please try and remember that everyone working there really believes they are doing everything they possibly can to help the customers, help each other and help the company they work for. And for the most part, many of them could not do anything more or better. The news has covered the recent criminal events: remember that is in addition to the many unforeseen problems and unintended consequences which rocked the store to its foundation... so if they are in the store smiling, working as well as willing and available help... mentally... give that person a little credit and all the respect you would like to be shown. Their head is probably still spinning from the last 10 issues they were told... on top of 15 or so challenges they walked in with. We all have them, every day. If it comes to pass that you had a bad experience, know that it was definitely NOT you. And just as likely, that representative was just as powerless to circumnavigate a better outcome. WHEN YOU DO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE-please, at the very very least THANK THEM... maybe post something here where you can be as case specific or anonymous as you like.
If I'm there as a customer or still an employee and you figure out who I am, I would love it if you wanted to introduce yourself... Say hey! read more
