Manager - Misha
Time: around 8:PM

I was shopping and overheard the store manager being very rude and disrespectful towards two unrelated customers about trying to obtain the use of the bathroom. In a very arrogant tone she told them, they are going to have to wait. The manager, Misha then closed herself in a small room for some time. She came out and had the two customers randomly follow her about the stoor looking for the key. I thought the young man was going to wet himself. After the woman came out, the female customer stated it was unacceptable how she had to go through this just to use the bathroom. The manager replied telling her she should shop somewhere else. Well, all I can say is it escalated from there where the manager said "Get out my store" Some fella online corrected her English and she told him "you could get out her store too". I decided to remove myself from that environment as well before it escalated any further. I hope you address this matter and take corrective measures. As for me, I will use the Farmingville store and avoid this toxic atmosphere.

On June 15, 2019 I was a customer at the Medford, NY store on Horseblock Road. I asked where the restroom was and Meesha told me I had to wait while she went behind closed doors with another employee. It was quite lengthy while she was away and another customer (young man) asked me if I was waiting for the bathroom. I said yes. After waiting a over 15 minutes I went to a cashier and asked her for the key. She said I had to wait for the manager Meesha. Then another employee went around the store looking for the key. This was unacceptable to me. Finally Meesha came out and I asked where the key was. Well, she led me on a wild goose chase for the bathroom key. I told her this was unacceptable and she said I should get out (which you don't say to a customer). She eventually found the key and opened the bathroom but told the young man he had to wait because the men's room was out of order. When I was done, I went to find the store manager to ask her name and who her manager was and she told me she was the manager. I said her behavior was unacceptable and she started yelling at me to GET OUT MY STORE. All the customers heads turned and I told her you don't speak to customers that way. I eventually left and went to a more amenable Dollar Tree down the road. Please have this matter addressed in a timely fashion.
Thank you for your attention to this concern.

After picking up 15 items I got in line at the cash register. After waiting for two or three people to check out it was one customer finishing her transaction and another with items on the belt, then me, and at least one other customer behind me. The manager comes up and slaps down the closed lane and walks away. When she came back a few minutes later I asked if she intended to let me proceed? She said no that the cashier had to leave at 3:30 because of the budget.
Anyone who has ever worked a service job knows the schedule normally status on Thursday or Friday so you can cover your busiest times and then cuts are made on the back side of schedule to meet budget. So I'm calling her on telling the truth on that one.
I left $15 dollars worth of items in the cart and walked out because I wasn't about to move to the ended of another long line after already waiting.
So $15 dollars not sold. 15 items that now have to be put back on a shelf and a customer that will gladly take her business to Rose's in the next parking lot over.
Kind of blows store budget

On june, 14th 2019 I, along with my three daughters ages 8, 6 and 1year old visited Dollar tree store no 5818 located at 16750 south west freeway, sugar land, TX 77479.I am a regular shopper at this store so are several friends of mine.Over the past couple of years all of us have noticed a steady decline in the level of customer service and curtoursy provided and blatant racial profiling and targeting of specific ethnicity customers by store management.Today however was the worst experience of all.After purchasing about $100 of merchandise I approached a gentleman working at the balloon counter as he was filling helium baloons for a white female customer .I waited for him to finish his transaction with that customer .Afterwords, I selected an uninflated balloon and requested him to fill it with helium.To my shock and surprise he very abruptly told me there was no more helium.He said so with a very rude and condescending tone of voice and refused to fill the ballons.Realizing that he was perhaps having a bad day at work, I selected two inflated ballons and handed them to my 6 year old.As we moved away from the counter, one of the balloon slipped out of my child's hands and floated towards the ceiling .At that point this gentleman, Mahesh became uncontrollably belligerent and in a very loud, threatening and hostile voice yelled at me and my children that you will have to pay for that balloon.His violent demeanor and loud, threatening voice frightened my children and my one year old and my six year old got so scared that they started crying.Mahesh called me a lousy parent and that I had no parenting skills in controlling my children.I was torn between whether to respond to his aggression or take care of my frightened children.He continued to threaten me to leave the store or he will call the police on me .
Several customers in the store and employees watched in total disbelief and horror as they watched his violent and racist outrage.I proceeded to pay for my merchandise .Cashier Noor Jahan was very professional and courteous in checking me out.

This was an extremely emotionally disturbing and distressing, traumatic ecperience specially for my kids who do not want to go to dollar tree ever again.My six year old daughter keeps asking me, Mom why was that man yelling at us when we didnt do anything to him.

It is quite evident from customer reviews on social media sites that racial and ethenic profiling of customers is a common practice at this store location .

I would like to hear back from the district manager for this store location.
After speaking with the district manager I will decide  if I should move forward with the next steps which will include starting a petition by the racially profiled customers of this store location to remove Mahesh from this location.I will also approach the better business bureau to have this management practice of racial profiling and discriminitory business practices investigated.

Thanks.

I would like to file a customer complaint in reference to the horrible way in which 2 middle aged ladies were treated today by a cashier in your store # 2076 located at 4241 N Camp Wisdom Rd in Duncanville, Texas around 12:30 pm CST. These 2 ladies were at the checkout and trying to use their debit cards. Apparently they were not moving quickly enough for your cashier as they were told and I quote " you need to answer the questions on the screen and hurry up because there are other customers waiting and you are holding up the line."She did not offer to assist the ladies as they were having trouble and she continued the most rude exchange and attitude with the ladies. They were shocked and shaked our hands and apologized for holding upo the line. They apologized to the cashier and told them they were sorry and that there was no need to be rude. The cashier told them to move along and that they should leave. The ladies said that they would find out who owns the stoer and complain. The cashier told them not to bother coming back to the store and threatened the ladies. I am a retired customer service manager from AT&T and have NEVER experienced anything so deployable and disrespectful in all my life. Without customers coming into your store there would be no need for her job as a cashier. She needs to be disciplined and given some sensitivity training or at least customer service 101 skills. Everyone in the line was so uncomfortable. I am a regular customer and your Desoto Texas location and they are always so nice and helpful. I will NEVER visit this store again. Please do the right thing. Thanks, Cathy Bowie

Every time I go into the store this cashier named Jill is always crying & talking about all her problems.1st it was getting evicted because she is behind on her rent.2nd her car is broke down & it needs new tires.Hwr daughter & 5 grand kids moved in & are taking over.Husband can't breath.I feel like she is always asking for some help.I have my own problems & don't need to know all of hers. The manager Krystal is always friendly & very helpful..Love her smile..

This locatoon is not supposed to close until 9:00pm however it always closes an hour before. I also have cleaned the bathroom at this location three times because my child had to use it I don't have pictures due to getting a replacement phone but I spoke to management about this and the brushed it off. This is unacceptable I used to work for family Dollar so I understand wanting to leave but don't deprive customers of services due to not wanting to work. Please fix this a concerned customer.

Cashier opening up another cash register when busy should take the person waiting longest first instead of saying I can help someone here...when a cashier is having problems with a customer for 20 minutes the person waiting behind that problem should be helped by another cashier first...not the person last in line...this is not the first time this has happened...training needs to be done so the opening cashier knows what to ask first

I recently went into dollar tree to buy bread. Non of the bread on the shelf was fresh. I asked for the manager and an associate when and got a manager from me. The manager by the name Kenneth approaches me and asked what was wrong i simply told him the bread was a little hard when will some more bread be in he stated "the bread just came in Monday its dollar tree you get what you get of you don't like it go somewhere else." This is not my first run in with this guy. The first time he called my husband a [censored] im a Indian woman with an African American Husband. Kenneth was very rude that day we called the police the police did nothing because no one was injured. After this bread situation i asked mr Kenneth for the corporate phone number he told me to "get out of his store" i in return asked once again he responded to me "if you actually come in to buy look on the button of your receipt" i have witnessed this manager talk down to other people and his employees everytime im in there. There are to managers that are very polite and if i ask for something they take me right there to it Ms. Melissa and i believe the other one is John or Johnathan they are awesome and thats why i still shop there but i try not to shop during the time Kenneth works because of how im treated when i ask for help.

The assistant manager at the Paterson NJ store Nicole Lawrence is a nasty rude person I know for a fact she is having relations with another associate and a customer to she is always outside smoking or in a white car the customer came in the store wanting to fight the other associate over the manager Nicole Lawrence she needs to be told about herself

My name is mark frankfort and every time I go into the dollar tree in clinton maryland store number 1122 there is a manager there name charnita who is very disrespectful, and nasty and is a real unprofessional ghetto [censored]. I'm not sure how she got the job there but she doesn't need to be in my neighborhood or anyone's with that attitude and being rude i'm going to call up there tomorrow to talk to the store manager about her behavior on more than one occasion i've witnessed her cursing out the cashiers and been rude to and cursing towards the customers who ask her questions. Professionalisms is not part of her cloth as I see.

It's about 11:40pm here in Charlotte, but I could not let this day go by without filing a complaint against one of your store managers. While standing in line and the cashier was chasing me out, I heard a lady standing at the end of the isle talking between both lines to the team members. She asked if they knew anything about a $100 check that came through one of the registers. I heard the girl at the other register say, I don't know what your talking about. And the guy cashing me out said, I don't know either. She stated, well I'm not sure who's responsible for this but it's a problem. The cashier said, what do you mean. The Manager said, it mean that someone didn't verify a check and now we are $100 out of money and since no one can is fessing up to this; I'm writing everyone up. I could listen to this inappropriate behavior anymore and asked; Are you the manager? She said yes. I said do you realize what your doing right now is unprofessional and inappropriate. You should not be speaking to them while they are out here waiting on customers. You should not be speaking about HR issues out here because that's a private conversation. I said being a leader for over 20 years, what your doing is inappropriate and you need to hold yourself accountable. She walked off. Her name was Merill.

I know this is not how Dollar Tree does business but I need this issue escalate and addressed. She should not hold her team accountable, as her lack of professional, violation of policy and inappropriate behavior needs to be held accountable. Such poor leadership.

Yesterday was the first time that I had been in the lancaster ohio, dollar tree store in the shopping center off memorial drive in lancaster. I usually do not write complaints but was actually sickened by the condition of the store in lancaster. The carpet was filthy filthy all through out the store. The shelves were unkept and messy> I did not buy any food items as I wondered if the store room was even dirtier or rat infested.

This store is a disgrace to your company! You need to get this store cleaned up. There was only one register opened and I was the sixth person waiting in line. No additional cashier was called to help serve the lines. I was not addressed by the other clerk putting back stock on the shelves. No can I help you or did you find what you needed? She bumped into me with the basket she was carrying and did say excuse me.

The one positive thing about the store was the young cashier who was dressed in clean clothes and had clean hair. She was friendly. Thank goodness for one positive thing about this horrible store.

The store is very poorly lit. From the outside I was not even sure it was opened and waited to see if any customers entered the store. Not only was it poorly lit but the store was hot as no air conditioner was on or if it was on then the thermostat had to be sit up very high. I felt nauseous from the heat, the darkness and the overall depressing feel about the store.

I have shopped many other dollar tree stores in ohio and north carolina where I have lived. Never have I seen a store even remotely close to being as filthy, unfriendly, poor customer service and poorly lit as the lancaster ohio store.

Please let me know you received this letter. I certainly hope this email generates some action on the corporate level to get this store cleaned up to the standard of the many other stores I have shopped in. I love your prices and so many of your products. I will miss shopping dollar tree but I can not bear to go back into this filthy store. I will try and find a store close to me to shop. I know columbus ohio has several stores that I have shopped in before. However it is about a 45 minute drive from lancaster. This should not be necessary with one being here in the town where I live.
Please take action and get this filthy store cleaned up and address the other issues I have told you.

Truly,
Sally dittoe

I was very excited to buy your lemon dinnerware collection and I called the store near to my address.
The employee told me that they have it in the store...
When I got there and asked where were items located in the store, suddenly one of the employee run in another isle, and took several I only could buy some of them...
When I asked to General manager and told her (her name is Yusimi) she told me in a very bad attitude that that employee had the right to do that... I couldn't buy the quantity I wish to buy because that woman took several of them.
I am manager of the famous store and I don't think this was right...
I am very disappointed with this situation. As a regular client of your brand this is a shame.
This is the store.

I hope to receive an answer from you guys and I hope you can understand my complaint. I sent a picture to show you the quantity I found after that woman got her merchandise.
