Dollar Tree

of all the dollar trees this is by far one of the worst ones. there is always a non profit bum. a homeless person, a whack a doo. or a hustler slanging dvd’s, a drug dealer trying to dump his shit. right in front of the doors.
inside its the same stuff. i have had customers come up to me ask where stuff is. i have had people try to come up and preach to me. and all the time people come up look in my basket and want to give me weight loss advice.
can never get a employee when you need one. and then when your shopping and minding your own business you get harassed by some asshole manager.
then when your trying to get out a checker goes on break. or the other checker is just messing with her smartphone. one day i came here the checker had 5 people in line but facebook was more important than making a paycheck.
DO NOT COME TO THIS DOLLAR TREE. IF YOU CAN HELP IT.
YOU HAVE OTHER ONES IN HAYWARD THAT ARE BETTER. LIKE THE NEW ONE ON MISSION BLVD BY FOOD SOURCE. AND THE ONE AT FAIRWAY PARK.
SAME CRAP BUT BETTER LOCATIONS.

Loved this store. It was large, clean and the cashier that helped me was super duper nice. Older gentlemen with a smile on his face and telling me he was having a great .
I was able to get what I came for plus a few extra items. Plus they had several carts unlike the store near my house.

This is literally the worst dollar tree store. I’d give it zero stars if I could. Walked in and the place is a mess!!! Walked around and in a section there’s a group of employees (whether on the clock or not idk) but one chick is cussing up a storm!!! I have no problem with cussing, but you don’t do it while on the job site and around customers! Specially how loud she was doing it. It’s ridiculous. The cashier also had bad customer service. She’s ringing people up so slow and as she was ringing up the people in front of me she was talking to a coworker who was leaving for lunch. Loud an obnoxiously. Won’t be coming back to this store. Headquarters should check up on them.

I don’t expect 5 star service when coming to a Dollar Tree but I came in 5 days ago, Sunday ¹⁰⁄₁₈ and left so pissed off. I was waiting in line to pay and the cashier, Elizabeth, some younger somewhat short girl with major attitude was ringing up an older gentlemen. The entire time she was ringing him up she was complaining to the cashier behind her that she wanted to go home and that maybe she should quit when there’s a super long line and both of the girls were laughing about it. Telling her «I don’t know how you’ve worked at the dollar store for 2 year, it’s the dollar store!» I’m sorry, but regardless of how much you hate your job, it’s so rude to complain about your job out loud in front of customers. Elizabeth started bagging his items into paper bags without asking him if he wanted to purchase any, he told her he only wanted one bag and she proceeded to roll her eyes while telling him that it’s only 10 cents. Really? Who is she to tell him how to spend his money, regardless of how little it costs. As she finished ringing him up she continued to roll her eyes and make the rudest face possible. Then it was my turn to pay, I was looking for change in my wallet I look up and sure enough she was rolling her eyes. I pay her and decide to speak up. I told her, as my skin was boiling, «you shouldn’t be working in customer service, you are so rude and unprofessional!» Elizabeth just gave me a blank look, no apology. I bet she was oblivious to what she did wrong. I don’t know how someone like that got hired in the first place. Was the manager there? Are they allowed to act this way in front of customers?

Just came home from this Dollar Tree and I am so pissed off right now! I give the store zero stars but Unilocal makes you give them at least one… It’s small, unkept, and they mostly carry the Dollar Tree products and not a lot of the name brand things… I came in this afternoon with my two boys as I saw some items on instagram and thought that I’d see if they had them here… my kids and I got half way around the store and my lil one had to use the bathroom… I asked if they had one in the store and the cashier JAZMIN said no, I asked her if there was one nearby and she sent me to grocery store next door. (Humm, funny cuz all the other Dollar Trees in Hayward, Fremont, Newark, Union City, Redwood City, etc lets customers use their bathrooms…) I asked her if it was ok to leave my cart near her register and that I’d be back and she seemed ok with it… When I came back, my cart was gone (but there were carts near the front of the store) and all my stuff was dumped at a register nearby … When I asked her what happened she said someone else took my cart… WTF, there were carts nearby and she knew I was coming back! Whatever, we got another cart and did our rounds around the store… When it came time to pay, my son’s Skylander toy wasn’t scanning so she scanned something else (so now if I needed to return or exchange it they won’t let me cuz it’s not on my receipt)… Then when I got done paying I asked her if she was going to bag my stuff and she flat out said NO, cuz her line was long!!! When I asked who her manager was she said the girl behind her and when I asked the other cashier Liliana (if that’s even her name) she said it’s on their website that DT is now a self bagging store!!! Yet she herself was bagging her customer’s stuff… WTF b1tch! Where the hell does it say that on the website? Don’t go to THIS Dollar Tree, unless you’ve got time to waste and want rude a$$ service… Yes I will be calling corporate (757) 321‑5000 on Monday and complaining and also filling out their damn feedback survey!

Dollar Tree here is very small/​cramped, no signs indicating sections where items are shelved. they were also out of the power steering fluid i was seeking. boo!
notes:
–only one cashier open
–parking lot stripped mostly for «compacts»
vans have to park far away.

A standard Dollar Tree.
I use to go here for Rip-​it energy drinks but now go to Grocery Outlet or 99 Cent Store.
I’ll come here real quick if I need party supplies but other than that, it’s not worth my money.
This store can get a little messy and disorganized so beware. Also, the parking lot is shared with Goodwill and Mi Pueblo so parking might be hard to find. It’s straight, a mad house on the weekends, so just forget it all together. There are other Dollar Tree’s and 99 cent stores to go to, so just forget about this one.

I like stores like this, but I have to agree with most of the other reviewers.
This Dollar Tree location sucks.
Bad.
Real bad.
There are some positive things (my reviews are always fair and even nice).
+The store is pretty big, and a ton of items are sold here.
+You obviously can’t beat the prices (some items are even under a dollar).
+Great Hours: Mon-​Sat 8 a.m.-10 p.m.; Sun 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
+
:
There’s «$ 1,500 in prizes weekly.» You can also «receive 10 chances to win $ 1,000 cash daily.»
+
:
The website is decent. I placed an order over a year ago, and I received it pretty quickly.
+You can meet some rather homely people. o_​O
+The frozen food section is pretty good. You can also find a nice selection of snacks and greeting cards here. There are even a fair number of items for kids (
).
+A lot of seasonal items are sold here. My wife wasn’t quite pleased, but she did spend over $ 25 yesterday on items for a holiday party (she was basically able to buy half of what she needed).
I also got a great deal on some nice holiday glitter gift tags.
+Our cashier was friendly and fairly quick.
+/-«We will gladly exchange any unopened item with original receipt. We do not offer refunds.»
–The carts are so small that you can only dump a midget in them (I don’t always like midgets, apparently). Sadly, no midgets were around when I took my picture (
).
–Only 2 registers were open.
For a few minutes, only 1 was open, and 3 customers complained (one guy was «running late” — my wife and I were kind of pressed for time too).
–The aisles were very messy. I know that it’s the holiday season, but I found little pieces of debris everywhere (I went out of my way to explore the store). I wasn’t in any danger of tripping, but there were quite a few things on the floor.
–The store is kind of cluttered (this is especially true in terms of the holiday items right now). The aisles are also quite narrow. A woman even bumped into me («I’m sorry»).
-«I hate this parking lot.»
My wife sums it up nicely.
The parking lot is a joke. It’s ridiculously tight, at least near the store (it’s better to park a decent distance from the store). The spots are also small.
A creepy looking guy was around (he didn’t move at all when my wife was trying to park). We steered clear of him, but it took a lot of effort (he was gone by the time we left the store).
As I expected, a lot of candy is sold here (it’s spread out over 2 aisles).
A new item is Big League Bubble Gum Balls (the product is so new that I can only find something similar to it online). They’re an offshoot of Big League Chew.
My Necco Wafers were only $.79.
I wanted to go old school yesterday (I also bought a package of 100 Grand bars).
The employees here could be better, but they’re really not bad.
The main issues lie with the store itself.
I wouldn’t go here unless you’re desperate.

Love the store, hate the parking though :(

With a store that averages its prices around $ 1 per item, I know not to expect too much with the selection or even the upkeep. However, this particular Dollar Tree may be the smallest of any other store in the franchise.
Honestly, this store is probably half the size of your average Dollar Tree. And though the selections are similar to the other stores, with a smaller store comes fewer shelf space, and fewer shelves equal fewer options for customers.
Since I never find what I want or need when I visit this store, I don’t really get a chance to interact with any of the employees. But, I do know that their lines often stretch nearly all the way down the short aisle.
At least the store doesn’t seem disorganized or messy. It just doesn’t offer much of anything. And, just like the store itself, the parking lot is often crowded and too small.
I wish I could say something nicer about this place. I’ll keep checking in to see if things improve.

All Dollar Tree Stores are basically the same in terms of merchandise. The only difference is employees and location.
Employees make the business organized or dishevled, clean or dirty, tidy or unkept. They are the ones who alter the customer’s experience. This store is just okay, haven’t been impressed with customer service.
I do like the merchandise selection here, which I attribute to the location. I was able to get some gorgeous faux-​plants for my altar, which look gorgeous.
Great place to visit on a hoodrat outting.

Located next to Mi Pueblo and one of the busiest I have visited. But its pretty organized for the amount of traffic it gets.
Also has a Blockbuster kiosk for $ 1 movie rentals, what a coincidence…

I went here to buy a single item and to get rid of some pocket change. I was short a few pennies but the nice cashier spotted me the change. That was nice of her considering I didn’t want to use a card or bills. Thanks T.

Big store, but hardly anything I want to buy here, I wandered for about 15 min and left. Wasted my time.

I walked into this store for the first time recently. I was planning on shopping at Mi Pueblo, but I wanted to look for some Xmas décor beforehand.
When I walked in, it felt like I wasn’t admiring the holiday décor on the aisles. Rather, everything «décor» was on the floor. The aisles here are a bit messy and disorganized. It was difficult to find what I needed and it slowed my shopping experience.
Overall, I found some good finds for $ 1. I bought two plastic table covers and a pack of six floating candles for a buck. Can’t really beat that.
I would still come back here, but I will probably go to the 99 cent stores first.

Seems a male Mgr/​Associate is extremely rude to female customers. I’m writing this review on my wife’s behalf since she doesn’t have an acct on Unilocal.This male employee confronted my wife and told her rudely «that i’m not picking up after your kids!» One of my sons picked upa toy sword and put it back where it didn’t belong. First of the all, the place is already messy. Secondly, confronting a customer and causing a scene is a big no no. I’m pretty sure it states somewhere in the retail policy not to act like a jackass to your paying customers. Had I been present, I’m sure this employee would have kept his mouth shut. Do Not spend a dollar at this location until this employee is given proper training or fired.

I love that everything is a $ 1. This isnt the better Dollar Tree I’ve been too but its convenient since its close. Every employee that I have came in contact with has been nice and friendly. This store is a hit or miss and what they have. Sometimes its nice and tidy and sometimes its messy. One thing I hate the most is the parking. It gets madd busy with the Mi Pueblo couple doors down.

A manager/​associate named Jeff is a Jerk. Flat out jerk.
I understand it’s a dollar store and obviously the employees aren’t going to be the perkiest bunch, but damn.
Came here a few weeks ago to buy balloons for my nephew’s birthday party and should have taken my money to Party City.
The rudest, most sarcastic sales person I’ve ever come across… and I’ve worked my fair share of retail/​customer service jobs.

The reason why I’m giving this place 2 stars because:
1. My bf used to work here a long time ago, before he met me.
2. He told me that the management above him sucks
3. The boss told my bf to hire some kids who doesn’t care about their job. Useless help from them…
4. The place is always messy, from the floor to the shelves.
5. The carpet needs to be replaced into a laminate flooring.
6. They sell the same shit as the 99 cent store… figures. =p
7. They really don’t like to open many registers, for some reason
8. They sell sooo much shit, it’s a bit crowded on the shelves
Overall, this place is so hard to shop when there’s shit everywhere…

My 3 year old was a little angel at dinner on Friday, so in my book he was deservant of a treat… Off to the dollar store we go =)
I don’t frequently go to the Dollar store, but I do know there is a ton of junk to be had by kids… This one in particular had a whole entire wall, plus 2 ½ other aisles of kid’s junk, I mean toys. He couldn’t decide! There was just so much.
I did a quick perusal of the rest of the store, and it’s a mess. Total disarray, and in ill-​repair. Tiles are loose stuff hanging off the shelves, etc.
I ended up picking out 3 little things for him; a chopper motorcycle, a guitar hero mini guitar and this little ball thing. Three year old is happy to get 3 toys, and I’m happy that I only paid $ 3 and some change.
