    Inconsistent prices for the junk they are selling. Nasty and unorganized stores and shelves. Rude employees and managers that don't seem to care about their customers. When your prices were a dollar it was worth it but now everything is cheaper at Walmart..I won't be coming back to Dollar Tree and I plan to warn everyone I know as well. High prices for low quality will put you out of business very fast

    I visited the Dollar Tree at 956 Bragg Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22407 on 10/14/25 to exchange 7 items. I had my receipt for 3 out of the 7 items. I was told I could not exchange without a receipt by ** the supervisor/manager on duty. I gathered 9 items to exchange so I was buying more than what I was exchanging and was told by ** that the store manager of this location does not allow exchanges without a receipt. I stated the Dollar Tree website states you can exchange without a receipt and she informed me that their store manager does not follow that and they don’t know what the website states.

    It should be in a Dollar Tree employee’s training to know what the actual Dollar Tree return and exchange policy is, especially if it’s in print on the Dollar Tree website. I got the sense this store is run however this store manager sees fit and does not adhere to actual company policy. I was quite taken aback at how rude and unprofessional **’s mannerisms were towards me. I took a picture of the 4 items I was not allowed to exchange which clearly shows them unused and still in the packaging. I also included a screenshot of the return/exchange policy. I would truly like a clarification on the actual return/exchange policy.

    I understand that prices are going up everywhere not just the Dollar Tree, but I think it is ridiculous that your stores do not honor the price on the sticker and the display box, for said item, is also marked with the same price, no red sticker covering either price. This is the second time in the last two weeks that this has occurred when I have shopped at the Indianapolis, In. stores. I didn't argue with your cashiers but I did mention the price it was marked and they ignored my comment. This is poor customer service and it will affect my future trips to your stores. I'm sure you think that this won't affect your business, but word of mouth is a powerful thing and the more people that realize that you don't care about the consumers, your business will suffer.

    I went into the store number 8703 in Pleasant Prairie WI. The cashier/manager is always rude to me. I try to avoid her always yet she is rude. I speak to everyone even her but she acts as if she hates the color of my skin! Once I spent thirty nine dollars and I had a fifty dollar bill she wouldn’t accept it and cancel out my order. I had to walk down to Target to get changed and came back for my items and she wouldn’t wait on me. She called for someone else to help me check out! Today I went and she told me, "My boss told me about you," I said, "About me!?" She said, "Yes, you always want double bags," I told her that I buy for my mom and she’s on the third floor and the bags always break. Remind you I come in here every other day and spend between thirty to one hundred fifty dollars and I can’t get a double bag or a reason why!!! Except your boss told you about me and you can’t give me a double bag!

    Everyone in this store is nice to me except her, and I to them! I speak to everyone even her. Everyone speaks back except her! She’s rude to me every time I enter this store and I should be treated right especially being a loyal customer. I took this statement very personally and she was very rude! I told the other manager Paul what happened. He said she was talking about the other manager Lisa and she will be in tomorrow so he will speak with her tomorrow. I thought about a new cashier started a couple weeks ago and I was in her line. Paul told her, "Take care of her. She’s one of our regular," I spoke with her and she was nice as well but that one cashier is very hateful. This can’t continue! She made sure that I understood that she was the manager.

    Store #229 at 8330 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte, NC 28226. I picked up several items that had the price of $1.25 and at the register the price was $1.50, I told the manager thinking it was a error and was told we charge more than the price shown. The store was extremely dirty and full of clutter. The frozen items were on flatbed in front of the cooler melting. The shelves were very dirty and items on the floor. This is so disgusting. Please check on the condition of this store, it’s in a very nice strip mall. This is inexcusable.

    I will never shop this company again. The district managers don't care if you're treated badly in their store. They could care less if you complain in a review. They think we will shop there because our economy is terrible. I'd sooner do without than ever shop this turd company ever again. I really hope in years to come they go completely out of business. Save yourself the trouble, don't buy here.

    I went into your store and OMG my mom is handicap and we could not even walk through the store without moving boxes right in the walkways. Trash everywhere and no room to walk at all. My mom does not receive a lot of money and enjoys going there. She moved to Florida with me to be her caretaker. This is the first time I took her and probably be the last. She almost fell twice from tripping on items just everywhere. And when she did get to look at items. I had to physically move boxes and carts out of the way. She loves your circus peanut and when we finally got to where they were which was hard to even push a cart through due to all the clutter. They were hard and just did not look good. They looked like they were melted together. I want to be able to take her there so she feels that she can buy things for herself for a good price. But come on.

    Hello Dollar Tree, management. I'm very appalled that you allow Dollar Tree your prices to be $1.25 for food and $1.50 for general merchandise. When in reality it's a dollar store as titled. How can you allow Dollar Tree for prices to increase!!! & not to mention with continue business and having so many loyal customers across the whole world that buys continually put all of our sacrifice, dedication & devotion & money just so Dollar Tree can remain open for business and employees as well to get their checks by our business. Sadly to say if you do not keep Dollar Tree as a dollar store, sadly you will lose millions of customers, who don't work nor have any means or type of income, buying merchandise and food at Dollar Tree with the little they have in their pockets.

    I'm begging Dollar Tree to please rethink this and make Dollar Tree right again. Dollar Tree for all customers is a godsend. So with that said, please Dollar Tree please make Dollar Tree again even for the poor people. We love Dollar Tree and would like Dollar Tree to also remain faithful to every loyal and regular customers who make every effort to make purchases. I'd like to thank Dollar Tree from the bottom of my heart, for bringing Dollar Tree across the world. Thank you & God bless Dollar Tree. And their employees.🙏🫶

    Dollar Tree is more than a brand—it is a promise. A promise to the frugal shopper, the single parent stretching a budget, the college student making every penny count. The very name Dollar Tree evokes an expectation: one dollar, one item. Not Greater Tree. Not Almost Dollar Tree. Just Dollar Tree. If a company can no longer uphold the standard embedded in its identity, perhaps it’s time to reconsider its place in the marketplace. A name should carry meaning—not just marketing. Price hikes erode consumer trust and betray the principles upon which loyal customers rely. If Dollar Tree cannot stand by the dollar, then respectfully, it should step aside. A name should not be a relic of past promises but a reflection of present reality.

    The Warsaw Dollar Tree store needs some serious management help. This changes employees like I change my socks. The establishment is disorganized and poorly maintained. Grant it! Much of the aisle mess is created by lazy dirtbag customers. Every time I enter this store, all I hear is the employees complaining about everything. It’s ridiculous and very unprofessional.

    I blame the managers more than anybody else. Obviously, the pay and benefits suck; otherwise better-qualified people would be working at this store. The store is a handy place to have in many ways for the community needs. But hire better managers and increase the pay and benefits. Maybe close the store on Saturday at noon and close all day Sunday. The manager today was very rude, snapping at me to go to aisle 3 for assistance. I could see the stress and frustration in her voice.

    I don’t think there are enough employees to keep the shelving stocked and maintained properly. Having worked in retail, that was my focus: keeping and maintaining a well-organized clean environment and ensuring proper customer service to keep customers coming back. I don’t see anything I have mentioned in regards to management organization and good customer service being displayed at this location. The good people that I have had contact with were awesome people but they didn’t last for the reasons laid out. It’s obvious to me the owner of this business could care less.

    On 16 July 2025 I went shopping as I always do at my Dollar Tree store number 7280 located at 7046 Bandera Road San Antonio Texas 78240. My purchase total was $23.37. I checked out with a young female (**). I gave ** the exact amount one $20 three $1’s, one quarter, two nickels, and three pennies.

    She had a hard time counting it so I tried to help her as she had her hand open with my money in it. ** got mad with an attitude and told me to stop and she did not like me helping her. She then stated she was dyslexic! I said, "Oh, I’m sorry to offend you but I was just trying to help!" she said stop talking to me in a very rude way. I apologized several times and she just got more rude towards me and said stop talking to me. I then got upset because she should not be there if it is that difficult to count money and be rude and disrespectful to customers.

    The more I thought about it, I decided to return to the store to make contact and speak to the manager. As soon as I walked up to (**) she started yelling at me in front of other customers. I could not really understand her but it seemed that she was blaming me and yelling at me saying ** was crying in her office. ** refused to even let me speak, flailing her hands at me, pointing at me and yelling in another language. ** refused to hear anything I had to say. I then yelled back at her because at this point I was upset and embarrassed by their treatment towards me (a ** female senior citizen customer) in front of other customers.

    As I walked out of the store ** continued to yell, and talk to other white and ** customers that were in line behind me about this situation. She is very unprofessional and has trained ** to be the same way. I snapped a picture of her talking about me to other customers outside in the window of the store! I’m appalled at the treatment I have received today at my dollar tree store that I shop at every week spending $25 to $50! Shame on you ** and your young female employee **!

    I visited this store at 14120 Lee highway Centreville Va, dated 06/24/2025, time 12.39, cashier Betty, I paid $50.00 bill, which I had just withdrawn from my bank, cashier keeps on looking suspiciously at bill, she check bill with bill checking special pen or device, then she calls another associate -a female. She is also unable to check bill's authenticity, the store manager is called. He tells cashiers or in other words, gives them a training how to check a bill, then my transaction is finalized. By this time waiting at counter, I was being treated as a thug or a crook who is trying to cash a fake bill. I felt so humiliated while waiting at counter, so shortly my advise to other customers is never take larger bills like $50.00 or $100.00 in this store, as cashiers do not have a proper training to check bills or they are totally uneducated in their job as a cashier. My request to management is please, for the sake of god, train your cashiers how to check a bill or have proper devices to check authenticity of bills, don’t humiliate, insult, or bother a customer for no reason.

    I purchased 5 cases of charger plates from this business. I did an online order to pick up in person. Dollar Tree claims my payment did not go through; however, it did go through. They have refused to reimburse me even though I have provided proof to them that the payment did in fact process through. This includes a copy of my bank statement where it shows that my payment went through successful. Also, I have been talking to these people for 2 days straight, and they have been hanging up on me and not calling me back and when confronted they claimed that the line had gotten disconnected. I ended up having to do a payment dispute through PayPal because Dollar Tree refuses to do so. They even left me a voicemail stating that they would not because my invoice balance reads "ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO." Mind you it shows paid and amount due is what show $0.00.

    I left very dissatisfied from the Dollar Tree store number 1855. I went to exchange two items, snickers, instant pudding because they were bad and the sales associate Jeanine said she wasn't going to exchange them, I showed her the items are closed, not open and still said no. She even said any of the food I bought from the dollar tree that turns out to be rancid it won't be exchanged. She said that's the dollar tree policy. If that's true that's a horrible policy. It's not my fault dollar tree sells bad food. I loved shopping at dollar tree but I'm going to shop elsewhere from now on. I doubt people will keep shopping there when they found out about from social media about this return policy.

    I had a terrible experience with an employee at Dollar Tree today. This employee approached me asking me what I did with the candy I had in my hands; it was 7 big packs of Christmas candy that I changed my mind about, and I put it back on the shelf. I told her I put it back and she said where? Where is it? What did you do with it? She did not believe me that I put it back. Thankfully there was another employee in the candy aisle when I changed my mind and put back everything where I got it from. I walked her over to her co-worker to verify that I had placed it back on the shelves. At this point she continued to accuse me of stealing the candy. She then followed me around telling me loudly that I was also in the store yesterday stealing. She said and I quote "I was in there yesterday and the day before loading my pockets up." I was at work.

    I tried to explain to her that it was not me and what she was doing was wrong, but she insisted that it was me I was lying, and I was a thief. Not only was this humiliating and embarrassing but at this point I was getting mad. I told her to check my pockets and to call the police the manager at this point told me I needed to stop cussing or leave. I was able to talk to the manager to the point where she let me buy the one item, I had gone in there for. I have never in my life been so embarrassed. And still while I am trying to talk to the manager the employee is steadily accusing me of stealing. Then she said something about rewinding the camera footage from yesterday to prove it was me, I told her, "Yes please do that so you can see how wrong you are." I cannot believe this happened today.

    I have shopped at the Dollar Tree Store located at 8656 E 63rd Street in KCMO for years. As busy as the store stays, the employees still give customers a smile and manage to stay cool, calm and collected. Apparently some customers complain about the variations in the open/close time but this is an exception and NOT the rule. Customers need to reciprocate and stay cool, calm and collected just like the employees.

    There has been a turnover of staff at times due to it being extremely busy and stressful but this is currently an issue with the majority of businesses these days. The employees keep shelves stocked continuously and I have personally watched people come in and literally sweep all the items off the shelves and into their baskets -- I see the same female employee religiously restock the shelves and she can't be blamed if the trucks have not brought replacement items yet.

    There is a continuous line of customers at the checkout and the cashiers work efficiently at keeping wait times in lines as short as possible in spite of this. I cannot say enough about how hard the employees at Dollar Tree go above and beyond at jobs most people wouldn't last 5 minutes in just due to the stress alone. Customers again need to reciprocate by saying thank you. I'm sure the employees wouldn't argue if they were give a raise for all of their hard work as well.

    There is no doubt there are some Dollar trees that need cleanup and improvement on their employees But in this economic time they are still trying to provide products at very reasonable prices. For anyone complaining that their prices have gone up they need to look around at other businesses including Amazon. Yes you have to sometimes dig through the debris and disorderly shelves but I assure you it's not the people who work there that are making them disorderly. It's the total lack of respect that most people have today for everything. Thank you Dollar tree. I will shop with you again.
