This lady walks in and she asks me "Do you have any more bread?" I reply "I'm so sorry. We're all out at the moment but we'll be getting more on Monday." She nodded her head and walked away

To another associate. "Do you have anymore bread?" They reply "No, but we'll be getting more on Monday." And she walks away

TO ANOTHER ASSOCIATE 😂 And guess what she asks? "Do you have any bread?" And guess the response. "No, but we'll get more on Monday." And she continues to ask EVERY employee in the store and gets mad that she keeps getting the same answer.

I get wanting to be sure just in case someone has just that little bit more information to help, but continuing to ask after the third time is crazy 😭

I made a post about not listening to my SM about how to stock stuff on truck so he sent me home from truck. First I want to mention I am a manager not just a stocker. Second the fact I got sent home is what created this other mess. We usually separate our departments by what they are. So I leave and now the two new managers SM and merch who has been there 3 days are left on a 2,000 piece truck. I come to hear from the night manager that every department is mixed together. Why am I pissed you say? Because I am tired of cleaning up his messes and now how am I supposed to stock that shit.

So our DM wants someone to own Party as a department because there were too many people just throwing stuff.....

My managers decided to give me Party, which I was really really excited about. However, after going through it I'm feeling stressed. Looking at the Schematic nothing was set right at all in the first place, my shelving isn't even correct. We just got truck in today, I was going to start working on fixing everything, but my manager told me not to because it would take up way too much time.

In the end, I feel like crap because I was backup today and I got called up SOOOOOO MUCH where I basically was on the till 70% of my day then the other 10% on my truck, to the point where I only pushed out one U-Boat of Party.

Even though I know it was something I couldn't control, I feel bad because wdym I only did one u boat???? I feel as if I'm already failing at my department and I don't want to lose it. Plus, there is a ton of other departments to stock besides my department.

It's safe to say I'm just stressed. 😭

Thank you!

So my store was one of the stores that had a gross dude doing the diddle in front of a customer. Luckily police were called n at.

It boggles my mind that we aren't having a discussion on the SM/ASM level about what to do in situations like this. My poor cashier is on the young side and didn't know what to do other than get the SM when the customer let her know about what had happened. She feels guilty and I reassured her that she acted appropriately.

Also, anyone else's store get hit with this?

I’ve wirked at dollar tree in the past as an ASM, I recently came back as a part time cashier. I do not want management again. I've been covering a lot of shifts in the three weeks I started working again. I’m actually transitioning to freight. I‘ve come in all hours of the day happily, my promised 13 hours became 30 hours. yay!

I just got done working 6 days straight, freight and cashiering, today is my day off and I woke up throwing up from a massive migraine. I’m exhausted, I already know my Merch Manager is going to get me more freight hours this week so I know I will lose my Thursday and Friday more then likely. I just got called, the closing cashier called out and no one will come in, I felt like crying, the kicker is the manager who called me just had a week off, she just didn’t want to come back and close tonight. I told her I have a migraine and she didn’t even let me finish, she got pissed and hung up. I’m not working 7 days in a row because they continue to keep incompetent cashiers. Fire them, I have two people ready and waiting to work who will be a hell of a lot better than multiple of my coworkers.

Felt good to tell her No though, I’m a team player, I cover any and all shifts usually but I’m so tired, I’m old and in pain from many injuries they know and just started working again after a 2 year break which they all knew. I need one day off after 6 days!!

So I was sent home for insubordination. It is truck day and I do not agree with how the new merch and SM do things. For instance the new SM says old hbc has to be worked out before new hbc. He wants us to load our u boats with old hbc and then put the new hbc in this hug pile we have in the back. So I was clearing the u boats getting them ready for truck cause we had a 2,000 piece truck. The new merch goes and whines cause I cleared her u boat to make room for the new HBC. 300 cases. The SM comes back and starts yelling crap to me and tells me to go home.

Dollar tree consumers . Please keep in mind with the holiday season and weddings coming up. People like to buy more than what they need. If you don’t have the receipt you are only can exchange. And you will need the original form of payment. Meaning if you used a card you need that card so the payment can be put back on there. And it’s a 50 DOLLAR LIMIT. WE CAN NOT REFUND ANYMORE THEN THAT AT ONE TIME. DO NOT BRING RETURNS IN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR LATE AT NIGHT. THE ANSWER WILL BE NO.

I Thought Once the Temperature Reached 85 They Would Close the Store. Wrong! I guess it has to be over 85?

Hello, recently I was recently promoted to being an assistant manger and I was wondering If I will be expecting more things such as training ilearners or more hands on practice once things get more finalized. And if so, should I try and write down as much as possible in order to make sure I don’t miss anything important? I heard there was a lot of information that can be shared with ASM’s

Do you think my old store manager or district manager could possibly ever change their minds?

Back in June I had to quit without any type of written notice, and I got placed on the “Do not rehire list” I worked at the same store for 5 1/2 years started as cashier, and worked my way up to Full Time Manager. I only quit because my husband got a new job, and my SM wouldn’t be able to work with his schedule since he’s my source of transportation. I do miss working at the DT a lot, and I’d do anything to be allowed back on as a cashier, or even stock. Can anyone give me any advice please? thank you.

I just had a question and was hoping it could be answered, I’m a high school student so I go to school whilst working and now that I started school I’m working closing shifts, which personally I can’t really work. I mean I can I just don’t think I should mainly cause I’d come home do homework then go straight to work and come home at 10:30. I plan on asking my manager tomorrow but I was just wondering if anyone who’s in the same situation or had the same situation could maybe give me some advice or suggestions?

Does anyone else get annoyed when the customers rummage through the balloon drawers? Today i was ringing up a customer and i hear the balloon drawers open up and I see a customer just opening and closing the drawers looking to see what balloons we have. It just annoyed me because in the process they’re making a mess of the drawers and also it’s like. Who said you are allowed to do that? Idk. Im the one at the store responsible for keeping that area neat and organized so maybe that’s why it pisses me off so much.

Has anyone just been scanning along and then out of nowhere the customer is like "That isn't Mine" but there was no divider and nobody said a thing- Why should I ask every customer where their order ends and the next order begins?
