So opening a new store, doing all the merchandising (putting stock on shelves following the flow chart..sorta) and I got assigned HBC, no biggie, I love keeping HBC organized. We got 30 cases of toothbrushes and about 20 cases of floss picks and assorted stuff but only 3 cases of toothpaste & not a single case of mouthwash. I haven't found any aspirin, Tylenol, Aleve, Advil or any generic branded medicines. I'm trying not to lose my shite, but it's getting very difficult at this point. The corporate coordinators aren't much help, either 🙄

The Plus aisle is going to all Xmas and Toyland now. Obviously the Halloween plus will get packed away. Can I assume it is implied that the remaining Harvest Plus will be too? Thanks.

Hello!

My question is since on the COMPASS WEBSITE it says that this week I will have a total of 8 hours of work and now it’s a SCHEDULED shift, but we clock out early than 10:30 along with the manager and that means the COMPASS will not show “8 hour” for my total hours, will I still get paid for the whole 8hours?? (I clock in on time too)

Thank you

I have to ask, is it bad to clock in less than 5 minutes before my shift? Apparently I'm going to be receiving multiple write-ups for clocking in less than 5 minutes early to my shifts. And I'm also receiving all of the write-ups at once which has me really worried. I thought right up should be given as a warning, not after the fact for multiple cases. I'm not sure if there any policies on exactly what time I need to be signed in other than exactly on time could anyone possibly help with a bit of information?

Edit: to clarify I clocked in earlier than what they want me to by less than 5 min, it's coming from my store manager. Though my managers have allowed me to, due to the crowd of customers. I probably could have worded this all a lot better. I'm being written up for not clocking in exactly on time. Apologies for any misunderstandings.

We don't care about your personal life so why must you talk so loud to someone who isn't even present while you shop for fake eyelashes and pads!

Just get off the phone when you are shopping in a public space or at least respect the other human beings that you so graciously let exist on your planet and shut the Fuck up!!!

"Thank You 👍🏼!"

So I get a customer today giving one of my cashiers in training a hard time. This was her 2nd day on a register, he brought up 3 of the 16.5 Oz six packs and got the discount for them. Apparently you can get another 1$ off if you use the coupon from our store app. He brought in the sales ad, which clearly states that. I read it to him and explained myself and the reason why it didn't reflect that during checkout. He said he didn't have a smart phone and understood. I went to check him out again and went through the whole thing again..........😑. He ends up saying "THE HELL WITH IT THEN" and storming out. I had several customers waiting in line as this unfolds. It kinda embarrassed me and delayed several people in line. I can safety say now what I was thinking.......YOU FIRST, YOU OLD ORNERY BASTARD, AND YOU WILL WISH YOU PAID THE 1$ FOR YOUR DR. PEPPERS. BET YOULL WISH YOU HAD THEM......😁

I work at a medium sized store, and during a rush an sm from another store made a visit, and I wasn’t aware she was an sm.

to my surprise, who I thought was a customer starts digging through the balloon drawers and placing them on my register to pay for them and giving me orders on what to do etc etc. I kindly ask her to let us get them for her in the future, and she gets snappy, saying “girl i’m a store manager, I can blow them up myself if I wanted to.” with an attitude.

she then mocks and makes fun of me to my store’s SM. it even made customers uncomfortable because they could tell it upset me. just a rant I guess lol

edit: these comments are killing me 🤣 but seriously I appreciate the advice. next time something happens i’ll definitely report it, this was about two months ago.

Today, my manager ask me to do recover/organizing the stuff, im a type of person who likes it very neat but my manager told me to just try make it look neat and i dont actually have to ORGANIZE ORGANIZE the things and its kind of bothering me lol but its okay 🙂

I have a job interview at Dollar Tree tomorrow, just wondering what the job is like, how much they pay, the hours etc.

Im such a child, this is funny and mildly interesting how the case had an error like that

I was offered a temp ASM position at another store, just to cover my friend’s maternity leave for “a few weeks”. Closing manager. Its been decent so far but the store is always a mess, homeless constantly come in stealing, thinking we don’t notice, or just leave trash/disgusting smells everywhere, and the SM for that store didn’t know how to take care of the stockroom or anything so now that he legit QUIT things are getting crazy. My boss from my main store is now managing both stores and I am not scheduled another week with more hours at the old store, which I’m not ok with and here’s why.

I told my boss that I need to figure something out to get off of this position at least a week or two ago; because I’ve been hired at subway. She has been working with me to get me off the spot and get another manager who was on leave back on,so that those three manager spots would be taken care of, I could go back to my original store, with the new position of FT MM, and I’d be free to start my job at subway, who said they need me on closing.

First they said this manager would be coming back last Monday, then it was “by the end of the week”, now I can see I’m scheduled on compass for ANOTHER week, with more hours and literally a split weekend.

TL;DR, Basically, I need to start at subway soon and they keep scheduling me another week with terrible off days, when my boss knows I need to work closing at subway now, and that I don’t like the other store. I want to go back to my main store and be available for subway, simple as that. What do I do? Can I step down somehow? Will my boss retaliate if I don’t help fix someone else’s store that they’ve let rot over the years?

Did you be able to view your pay stub?

as the title say, I wanna know the reasons you are still working for DT?

I'll tell you mine, I hate this company, but I just arrived to this country (in a legal way btw) and is my first job, I dont have a car and it is reaaaally close to the place I live so I go to work just walking outside my house, I still dont know where to look for a better job, I wanna do something office related, because Im confident I can do better than this.

this company makes me feel so miserable, because I know I can do and offer more than just cutting boxes and being treated like S%^t by the ASM and the Customers just for 9.25 before taxes, tbh this job make me regret my decision to come into this country

Yep. It finally happened. The turd has cut itself from the anus. Plunk. Flush.

I will now walk among the crackhead customers, like Morgan from Fear the Walking Dead.

If one of them asks me where something is, I can shrug and mumble nonsense with no consequence.

I will chuckle as I stand in a long line while a mummy digs through their coin purse for a shat of gold. The cashier waits with an impatient look on their face and I'm like "Yep, I remember those days."

I will be the respectful customer that continues to have all of my shopping done before walking up to the register, money in my hand or on my UNLOCKED card. I know what the prices of things are, because I know how to use the price scanners scattered throughout the store. I have a budget and account for tax. I will only walk up to a register when the light is on, and not interfere with an employee trying to go on break or use the restroom.

Me, quittin this shyt. Circa 2024

So unloading the truck yesterday I noticed a new product, Just for Her Warming Gel. Now, I'm just curious, would you trust Dollar Tree KY Jelly for your lady bits? Cuz that's gonna be a no from me bro...

There are just some products that I feel must be purchased for a bit more than $1.25.

Curious to get other associates opinions on this one.

You can't just come in and ask us that question!!

Believe it or not, just because YOU have Tik Tok on your phone doesn't mean that everyone else does!

At least know the name of what you're looking for!!

Was told this yesterday after I stayed late and helped with a bunch of stuff!

I clocked out and was going to leave so I walked up to the SM and they said "Hey I need you to clock out for 10 minutes before you leave for a break because you were supposed to have another break since you stayed late!"

I said "I'm already off the clock, I was just coming to tell you BuhBye!"

If I come through for you, then you come through for me! I'm not going to stay and help you out and be penalized for it!

"DO NOT ADD A BREAK TO MY TIME!"

I said over my shoulder as I was leaving! 🤔🤔🤔

Now I am curious so I am going to check on some past things today!

These items to go hand in hand at my store!!

I am constantly selling a bunch of sour ass candy products with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

I mean props on being on the right path but I kinda feel like cutting out the sour candy would really help save the enamel on your teeth, but I'm just a salesman not a Dentist!!

Hello!

So tomorrow will be my second shift, I just wanted to ask if when I come in tomorrow,

1. Could I clock in in any register?

2. Does managers assign cashiers which register they’re going to work on?

3. Do managers have to do something on the register that the cashier is going to work on before they can use it? (Like enter their login or something)

And if they do, do they login first before me?

I just wanted to ask in advance so I know what to expect

Thank you!

My store manager is doing a lot of shady things at work. She will cut hours if you even ask a question and she takes it the wrong way. Everything she tells us we can’t do, she intentionally does it. What are some steps that I can take as a cashier?

It's perfect because it's green

We have a brand new store, built from ground up. There is a vacant lot between our store and the neighborhood. When the store was being built there were people from the neighborhood complaining about how it would 'lower their property values' and all that.

Well, the only review we have so far (open for 3 weeks) and it's from this woman who said: "The dollar tree sign is almost as large as the building and 6 times the size of the dillons sign which is 20 times larger than the dollar tree Sq. Footage. There is a huge Crack in the sidewalk and is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The store is already messy that did not take long. Staff?"

The sign is a normal sign for a store set back from the road. The crack in the sidewalk is there, but it's an even crack that is a fraction of an inch wide and level, it's impossible to trip over. The store is far from messy, we made sure it looks nice.

She even showed up at 8:55am on a monday and yelled at my gf and the merch manager about the DM not returning her call. The DM just got back from vacation.

She is also friends with some guy that is trying to file a lawsuit to get us out of there! She even went behind our building and the two offices next door and said our trash was everywhere which is bullshit because we constantly have the dumpster and cardboard dumpster locked.

Sorry for the long read but she is abnormally frustrating.

I’m located in a PA store not sure if that makes a difference. But do we get paid a day late because of Halloween.

I got the dreaded call today:

"You were supposed to be here at 3."

Except I wasn't. I wrote down my schedule over a week ago, and it said I am off from Oct 28th to the 31st.

"The paper says you're in at 3."

About a month ago, the paper said I was supposed to work Sep 25, be off the 26th... I show up on the 25th, to be told that the schedule was changed and I had to be in the next day instead. NO ONE CALLED ME. NO ONE ASKED. The schedule was changed during the 3 days I was off, prior to those shifts.

This is the second time they have done this to me.

I have another job lined up, starting in 2 weeks; but I'm already thinking about just quitting altogether. You don't disrespect your employees like that and expect to keep them.

Edit: Like many of you have said in the comments, take a picture. Yep, definitely will from now on.

do you know how long will the HR answer you after an interview ? i applied for the opening assistant manager in Rosenberg , haven't heard back for 3 days

Of all the things you could steal...

All our bagged ice is melted, would i store damage what we have and or corporate directive it?

So I’m feeling bad about this and I’m not sure if I should… I bought stuff for Halloween and ended up not needing it. It’s about $20-$30 worth of stuff. I have all my receipts and I was planning to return the items but I’ve been sick for the last week so today is the first day I’m actually able to leave my house. I’m sure Dollar trees are barely even selling Halloween stuff at this point. I checked the return policy and I didn’t see anything that said I couldn’t return the seasonal items but I feel like I’m a jerk for returning the day before the holiday. Are the staff at my store going to hate me?

UPDATE: I took the items back to my store and they didn’t even blink an eye. And there was actually people in line asking if they could buy some of the stuff I was returning so the employees won’t even have to put it away. Win for everybody! Thanks to everyone who helped me feel OK about making the return!

As the title says, I'm the merch manager and this SM lady has been taking every fking weekend off and it's starting to really piss me off. Does anyone elses store manager take every weekend off. And ontop of that she always gotta leave early cuz she is sick or her daughter. I feel bad for the other assistant cuz she has this lady working 6days a week. Then wanna bitch that not enough frieght is getting put out. Well yea cuz im fucking running the store by myself all the time. Oh to top it off the assistant wants to cut her hours and the SM started bitching at me. Well yea what u expect you're over working her. We all getting fed up and God forbid one of us wanna leave a hour early she wanna get all pissy.
