Who do I need to talk to so I can get my application at FD cleared so my employer can view my application???

I am curious to know if MM are required to work 6 days during the peak holiday season? I know the SMs are as well but I’m just wondering as to why. I’m scheduled 6 days for 9+ hours each week. I’m not sure if I should bring it up to my SM or just ride it and keep getting the OT. Been in DT for 4 months and I am still learning how everything works :) appreciate any feedback

Title says it all.

My suggestion is that being that Dollar Tree is as big of a company as it is and has been around for as long as it has we should have a barcode on the back of our name badge that helps us to clock in and out more adequately . It would most likely save lots of times on trying to fix Mishaps of not clocking in or out for shifts and brakes.

I a merch worked last week on thanksgiving, as i looked at the schedule today my store manager edited 3 hours off my shift even tho our store didn’t even use up all the available hours. (10hours were not used last week) i want to confront my manager tomorrow and request my 3 hours back. can i clock out and go home if my request is declined? I am not too familiar with the rules as i was rushed into merch. I am not sure what to do if i get them back or what do i do if i cant. Can i just clock out and go home if manager doesn’t give them back? I am not the only asm that the manager took hours from even tho we had available hours and we worked those hours. I was thinking of clocking out and going home and only come back when he gives them back to me or is that too much for 3h?

Hi! 2 questions… when is a good day to visit Dollar tree once in restocked? I’ve been trying to find Brazilian mist power spray and it feels like it’s impossible. Along with the square spray antibacterial spray.

for Christmas, there’s so much stock that the boxes are piled very, very high and you have to squeeze between a huge stack of boxes and shelves behind you to get to the table for the “break room.” I know Dollar Tree says they have to be 8 ft tall stacks with the walkway/where the yellow tape is, to be clear, but the store I work at doesn’t adhere to this very well. I am aware we have too much stock especially because of the holidays but can’t something be done about it? Can I report the store/the store manager to Integrity Matters or anything? It’s dangerous and I’m genuinely afraid of getting hurt by the boxes toppling down on me. I get caught on the boxes constantly when trying to get to the table. Edit: yes I have said multiple times to the store manager and other managers about it but nothing has been moved around.

I know that this just a few weeks out but I work at a family dollar combo store with dollar tree but I recently heard rumors about possibly being opened on Christmas Day this year. I’m not sure how true that is but it’s as though I’m sure it’s gonna be a thing since this year we closed 2 hrs later than last year (8pm) on thanksgiving and like that’s even a real difference as to the dynamic with this company but hey there the ones that ultimately make the final says in things like this so yeah.

Can an associate bring up a tank of helium or can only a manager do it?

I know we get contest often. But I was sent a text recently that we all are REQUIRED to wear Bunny ears for the energizer contest. And if we don't write up.

I recently got hired and trained as a manager. Before getting promoted I requested off 10 days around the holidays.

A district manager saw this request off after I got promoted and flipped out saying that managers aren’t allowed to request off more than a week and threatened to demote me if I go on the trip.

My mom already spent $500 on plane tickets for the trip because I told her about requesting off a while ago. The tickets are non refundable.

I have no idea what to do now.

EDIT: I let them know before four weeks in advance and also way before I even knew I’d be promoted. I let the SM know and they said they’d take care of it. A note with the days I requested off sat in the office as i did my manager training. I probably should’ve asked if the promotion would affect my trip, but I assumed it didn’t because my request off note remained there for weeks.

I’m just going to be honest with my manager and tell them all of the money that was spent. I can’t afford to pay her $500… that would be over an entire paycheck for me! If they permanently demote me for going on the trip I’m going to work somewhere else because I don’t think that’s fair punishment for a miscommunication

I worked my ass off at this job for over a year already and they clearly don’t value any of that.

Customer here, hoping some of you can provide some insight to satisfy my curiosity. I bought a few items from the craft section about a week ago that rang up 50 cents each rather than $1.25, any ideas why? They were the galvanized/metal houses on little wooden stands/bottoms. I know the stores are carrying more and more items with varying prices, but had no idea things besides some greeting cards (or other clearance items) could be 50 cents! I didn’t notice the price til I looked at my receipt later that day or I would've asked the worker at my store.

Just received the numbers on a few negative adjustments from the Hallmark person (a little later than usual). The holidays are Veterans Day and a few others.

When I go into SLIC to do the negative adjustments, the holidays I need are not even available as choices. All I see is Clergy Appreciation Day and Winter Graduation. Any advice on how to enter the numbers if the pertinent holidays aren't available as selections? Thanks.

why do my cashiers hate me?

So I’m in college (a pretty great one) for cyber security and I have work today but I have a 4.0 gpa I want to keep and it’s mid terms. That means an essay, 2 test and a project left todo. I’m not supposed to be on the schedule for Sundays for this very reason I’m really torn here :/ I don’t want to let my store down but at the same time it’s important to me that I keep up with my grades.

This is my very first job so I dont know anything about working. I kind of already spent 7 months looking for a job and got a seasonal one and wouldn't like to be let off back to job searching again.

Is Dollar Tree a good job to apply for? All the reviews i’ve seen make it look like hell.

So I am a manager that works the closing shift most days and I work with two immature boys most nights. I myself am 19 and I feel like they think it’s okay to do whatever they feel like. Recently they been trying to pull women’s snaps and even their numbers I’ve told them I’m grossed out by that and that isn’t work friendly. I don’t really know how to approach it in a more serious way so I can actually get them to start doing their work. Because we have aisle to recover and I always leave feeling bad because when I’m the manager it feels like I have the weakest management skills idk just a lot of stress I guess. Any one have opinions or have also experienced this???

The dollar tree dinners tiktok creator posted a tiktok of putting $100 in cards to give to the employees of her Dollar Tree.

I know from this subreddit it's against policy for employees to accept tips.

Will they be allowed to keep them? She said she gave them the cards in front of the manager. I really hope they do get to keep them because she gave out 8 cards so $800 dollars would not go to the intended persons.

Has anyone else been experiencing problems with Mclanes? Last delivery they came a day late with no notice and this week they just haven't shown up. I have a feeling they're going to show up tonight and we'll have to turn them away since we won't have enough time to put freezer freight away with our new holiday hours. Just curious if it's just our store experiencing this or anyone else's store.

then continues to talk shit. i am literally waiting to clock in. i cannot help it. you can wait two mins for the two other people ahead of you. my god lmao

I’m an asm at a family dollar , soon to be store manager We just got a new District manager and she saw our clearance section and immediately called me out. I have 3 sections of shelves dedicated to clearance cause we have so much, so I got these big clear bins and labeled them “health and beauty” “pet supplies” “toys” “crafts and stationary” etc so they can just be organized by their section. She said we are not allowed to have anything in the bins and that we need to have a bunch of pegs on the wall and hang up anything that can be hung, and then set everything else on shelves under it. She also says it needs to be condensed to 2 sections of shelves for now but that I’m really only supposed to have 1 section but she will give me extra time to consolidate. How in the HELL am I supposed to organize it? The labeled bins are the only way I can actually get that section recovered regularly because it isn’t as overwhelming for the cashiers/ other asms compared to when everything is just on the shelves at random. Our warehouse is incredibly tiny so I would prefer not to pack stuff away to leave in the warehouse. I also had an idea of maybe putting a basket of, say, makeup and hair clearance in the makeup&hair aisle and hope that they grab at it there , and then switch it up every few weeks. We don’t have that many baskets so I’m kind of iffy about that idea, because on weekends we usually run out of baskets and people will get upset. There is an overwhelming amount of stuff and I do see customers over there a lot but it doesn’t seem to sell and just keeps getting messy.

TLDR: any tips on clearance section organization & how to get it to sell faster? Can’t use bins to separate it and would prefer not to pack it up in the warehouse. Note: the picture is from a while back when I first organized it before we added a bunch of new stuff to it and filled it all back up plus a whole nother chunk of shelves

TLDR: see title; 3/4 of the staff called out/no showed and I ended up doing 12 hours on my first day.

So I posted here the other day looking for a copy of the handbook and I figured I’d check in and see if my day was “normal”. I’ve been in retail on and off throughout my life and I’ve dealt with Black Friday chaos plenty of times. When I came in (8am) I got the tour and then did some facing and cleaning while my manager was setting up for Black Friday (it was him, 3 stocking employees and a cashier). By 1030 I was on register and everything was fine. Come 1240 I’m asked to take my 10 and when I came back I asked what time they wanted me to stay until and was told 1 but I offered to stay a little later because it was starting to get busy. 4pm; I take my 30 min and everything is going good. I’m still mostly on register but I managed to keep my area clean and stayed on top of go backs. I haven’t had any feedback as to how I’m doing but I figure no news is good news. Apparently someone was supposed to come in at this point, the other cashier also stayed late and left at 545. 630 rolls around and I take another 10 and nobody else has come in. I call my husband because my store manager asked if I can stay until close and hubby says I need to be home by 8 (I’m not supposed to overwork myself because of a disability). We were slammed until I left and I felt horrible leaving him alone. He said he’s going to be back in the store 5am tomo too. This job isn’t too bad but I feel horrible for management. Anyway is this normal? I’ve been in retail for a long time and I’ve never seen so many people just not show up .

I swear these are supposed to be warm??

I did the project on a street downtown adjacent in my city but have to plead for hours, cold call, work in etc but everytime the store manager isn't there and I may give up on my specific location. How many other locations can I call?

So yesterday, November 28, I asked my manager if I could have a day off on December 9 and she said “no problem that’s easy”.

I am the worker that they always call to cover shift because I’m always available and reliable. They like me and they say they appreciate me so much.

But I’m still scared to ask for another day offs but this time it’s gonna be 3 days, but it’s still a month away, it’s gonna be December 28-30

Has anyone requested a time off more than 3 days and didn’t get a write off or anything? I just don’t wanna get in trouble lol
