Dollar Market

The quality of stuff has gone down and they raise their prices. At least McDonald’s, still has their drinks as a dollar. This is the Dollar Something Market.

I am going to continue writing these reviews, until things change, or I find a drugstore, supermarket, or $ 1.00 Store, which demonstrates «SERVICE EXCELLENCE.» And, I need to continue to get this reviews out and posted. It just seems to me, these is an epidemic, pandemic, and a rapid advancement into the depths of garbage customer service. When does it all stop
BRINGING MY OWN ECO-​BAG: Again, I have to remind myself to Never bring my own bag again. First, I don’t get it, that now the most cashiers, don’t even offer to pack my my Eco-​Bag. That’s crazy. I have no incentive to bring my own bag. The ergonomics, and available space to pack, is nonexistent. I would appreciate it, if any manager, employee, or representative of Market Dollar Store, would attempt to pack items in the extremely crapped space it offers its customers. The check-​out cashier just watched me huff, race, and struggle. What a joke– on me!
The packaging area was NONEXISTENT! The cashier didn’t even have the courtesy to remove my red shopping basket. The cashier’s area was STUFFED with other items for customers to buy. There wasn’t a millimeter of room for me to pack. I finally had to resort to bring my EcoBag up on the counter top. The only thing I was able to do was put it on other merchandise on the cashiers checkout area. The Market Dollar Store cashier, immediately gave me a «quizzical look,» «What are you trying to do?» Yet, he didn’t offer to help me, even though he had completely finished scanning in all my items into the cashier computer.
Once again, I had to look at the prices being scanned, determine my packing strategies, and finally respond to all the debit pay screens requests for pin numbers. It’s bizarre, no one can «multitask» that much!
As I was coming to the end of this LAST transaction in Market Dollar Store, a young man behind me, was asking where the Men’s colognes where. Wouldn’t you know, they were directly to the side of my EcoBag. The cologne guy squeezed into the counter and said, «What are you hiding them?»
Did the Market Dollar Store cashier, a manager, or the bag checker at the front of the store ask him to WAIT until I was finished backing? NO!
Finally, I am so glad, that CVS has been opening up many more stores in San Francisco. And, there is a gigantic Target on Geary and Masonic. I know, where and who will be getting my future business and consumers dollars. It might take more time and effort on my part, but it definitely worth it.

Dollar Market is a typical convenience store ala dollar store except items aren’t priced. didn’t venture far enough to see if they carry produce or frozen items.
items variously priced at 1.25, 1.35, 1.49, 1.45, or not.
buys: «pop corners» kettle (1.35)
–fab stuff. usually buy $ 1 at 99 cents store.
take outs:
–good for the area since few conveninence stores (except CVS, walgreens).

This place is trash. They didn’t have simple electronic cables like headphone splitters, and the service is garbage.
My main problem is that when my girlfriend and I went in, I walked to the main counter to ask about the cables, and she stayed by the bag check in the front with our luggage (heading to the airport). As soon as I walked away, the bag check employee started aggressively hitting on her. Then she left me for him.
Just kidding. But it is definitely not professional and doesn’t make us want to come back, it was sketchy and the employees are creeps.
Pro tip: go here if you want to get taken on a really cheap date

Welcome to the local dollar… er, dollar twenty-​five store. I’m not sure (since I don’t want to buy anything I put in my mouth here) but I think if you buy food it’s 25 cents more. If you decide to pay with a card, it’s 50 cents more. It’s really more like a two dollar store. Heck, they should probably just call it an under five store that way everyone can be pleasantly surprised by the prices as opposed to be all like, «WTF kind of dollar store is this?»
I’m pretty sure some of this stuff shouldn’t cost a dollar. There are only a few things here that are actually a discount if you do the math and know where to shop in the city.
The should give you a discount if the roof leaks on you or if you see a rat larger than the size of your hand while you’re shopping. Of course, if they did that they’d be out of business.
Most of the women who work there are pretty nice and reasonably helpful. Some of the dudes seem a bit more like store fixtures in terms of their helpfulness but they’re usually okay.
I used to go here more often when it was a real dollar store… but these days I have to commute out to West Oakland once a week so I usually hit up the 99 Cents Only there that’s near the BART because most of the stuff really is that price. Also, for 25 cents more you can walk a few blocks in the other direction and find yourself at Daiso which actually has stuff you want to use for $ 1.50.

Holy crap.
Forget everything you thought you knew.
Fuck Disneyland.
Consume provisions.
Take an adventure into the unfathomable depths of this mystery palace.
Especially the \\\Toy Aisle/​/​/​
Beware sparkly ghetto lolita press on nails.
Don’t forget your bag.
Come again next time!!!

The place has a gigantic banner announcing that it’s a dollar store, but then the fine print lower down says that everything actually costs $ 1.25. I’m going to explore the legality of this arrangement. As for its morality, or whether or not it’s ethical, I don’t think a business should be allowed to operate that misrepresents itself such that a person could go through every aisle, select six items for purchase, and then have them ring up on the register at a 25% markup from the expected price. These people should not be allowed to do what they are doing.
It also didn’t help that the guy by the door – I can’t call him a greeter, because he doesn’t greet anyone – didn’t say a word beyond the imperative command, «Check your bag.» This is clearly a person who doesn’t need to be employed in any field with any component of interaction with the public.
I left without making a purchase, and with a lesser share of dignity and faith in humanity than when I crossed the threshold.
If there were a way to give zero stars or to put them out of business, I would.

Sketchy dollar market in the tenderloin, some things are decent and well worth $ 1 but beware of the patrons, I’ve seen them pulling some shady stuff if you’re not careful.

This clearly isn’t a Dollar Tree. It’s slim pickings for items that would last longer than one use. Bonus points for having a cat napping on boxes.

The floor creaks
The roof leaks
The patrons are scummy
And I don’t like this place.
Ya feel me?

Do you like your dollar store with a side of crack head? This is your place my friend!
There’s everything you need to get an apartment up and running.
Located on the edge of the Tenderoin you will see colorful characters. I watched a transvestite grab five shower curtains and shimmy away. Why would anyone need so many? Hopefully is was for awesome sex and not dexter like actives. I picked up a shower curtain myself. With rings included it was quite the steal. It was so thin that turning on hot water created enough wind to send the thing blowing like a sail. Easy fix: glue pennies on the bottom and voila!
Pros: Really sharp knives for only $ 1
Cons: Groceries 25 cents extra, Van de camps beans for $ 1.25 a can? Mutha fucka please!
Bottom line: If I had gone to walgreens to get apartment essentials it would have cost me at least $ 100 bucks more. Sure I may die of lead poisoning, and I worry about getting stabbed in the knife section, but overall a solid 4 stars.

Haters gonna hate, but the stuff here is really cheap and alot of the stuff here is dollars cheaper than similar stores (for example, the Latin American soda is usually as much as 2.75 in the Mission, whereas it’s 1.25 here), and I come here for stuff like mouthwash, combs, sponges, paper towels, etc.
I’m glad that not every place in San Francisco caters just to that worthless yuppie scum crowd.

Still worth checking out for bulk items if you’re planning a party.
You will be surprised at their selection of tupperware, hair supplies, and random art supplies.
I’ve always been pleasantly surprised by their selection of basic plates and glasses too.
But if you’re really looking to go all out for an event and are hoping to find decorations and such here — don’t bother.
Fantastico and Party SF are much better suited for your creative event needs. Dollar Market is where you go for those «I better get some» needs, like dish detergent, and garbage bags.
Trust.

After passing by this place for a while on my way to work and seeing it closed each Wednesday when I’m at the farmer’s market I finally went in there today.
First I was greeted and told I needed to check in my backpack. OK whatever. Your stuff can’t cost that much and if I was to take something I’d think twice about it.
I was disappointed. There are a lot of items for a dollar, but all of the food they have there is $ 1.25. The items I saw have expired either earlier in the year (March) or just recently. I’m not sure I’d buy my food from this place. I’d make exceptions for somethings, but not all.
There is a lot to look at, but not anything that I’d buy. I might go back another day to give this place another try, but for now this isn’t a place I’d go to regularly. There are some items that would be a good deal, but you’d have to find it like a diamond in the rough.

Horrible customer service, not everything’s a dollar like their painted window signage promises & insists, and a boring useless selection of the worst quality items. The massively growing chain store, The 99c or less as their name implies, should be the golden standard for 99c/1.00 stores, showing quality items and food can be stocked and sold for a dolar or less. Where is the competition in the Dollar Market? None. Predictably boring crap products and a staff who is rude to customers gets less than 1 star, as this review promises… get the hint?
