i agree with every review posted for this store on JFK. however, in the, or some of the management…read morestaff, & some employees, the ones who really like their job & strive to do all they can to stay there & hope, i say hope things turn around. it is so sad that that store went from the top two down to the last in popularity. i have been there over 3 years & i still want to stay, but it is sooooooo, hard to do the jobs of many to keep what is left of the store afloat. there are a small few who work there that want to keep it going, but there is no help from the manager, one assistant manager & the corporation themselves. If corporation would listen to the store employees suggestions, the district manager, & also stop being cheap & pay their employees more than minimum wage. people may say, well its a job. No, its peoples lively hood & they do like where they work, & paying people minimum wage & working their asses off, is insulting & shows the opposite of what Dollar Trees policies & training videos teaches us & the public. that store is so far down, i, as part of management, really, truly do not know how, or if it can get better unless corporate stops sending tons of merchandise, pays more to keep employees there, to allow stocking hours into the weekly payroll, which is so ridiculous, & to allow Dubuque stores to use more than one cashier throughout the day. Only having one employee all day is the main, biggest, but fixable, complaint that i notice-hear from customers. i have noticed that the main reason i stay there is because i want to continue to help, aid, & serve the employees & keep good positive relations with the community. i put them first in ways that Dollar Tree does not like or may be against their policy. i do this from time to time because every single day i see & hear how bad this store is, & how unhappy customers are.
i just want to say that i will continue to hope, & pray that things are & get netter when i get back from my health issues. It is going to be a huge uphill battle, but i will do everything i can.
i would like to add that the only stocker this store has, only 1, that is trying to stock merchandise from 2,300 piece trucks weekly. he is doing a wonderful job, he's going over the top, but i tell him to slow down because i don't want him to hurt himself before, or ever, i come back. if anyone does go tot he JFK store in Dubuque, & see this gentleman, Randy, please let him know how much you appreciate his work. It really is an impossible job too keep all the empty shelves full with just one person, especially since there is plenty of merchandise in the back room.
thank you.
