Dollar Tree

This store is so ghetto, the lines will be long and the employees will sit right in front of you while on break, solicitors in the parking lot. Where are the owners of these places in Oakland that let there businesses be a product of their environment why don’t they step up and force the neighborhood to come up to their level and be more classy! I live near this store but I will go to another city’s Dollar Tree just to get an overall better experience.

I love going to the Dollar Tree when they have what I need to get for my house or for my son is cheap quick sometimes crowded but it is a good place to go if I need to get something and I’ll have to go to no major school and spend hella money I can go to the Dollar Tree spend $ 40 and have enough stuff for my house for 3 weeks or 4 weeks???

This deserves a –5 stars for 2 reasons. You don’t want to skip this review and the compaby should look at this as well.
I’ve been to this Dollar Tree for over 10 years and havn’t visited until yesterday.
Yesterday’s experience was horrible! People keep shoving you side to side and only ONE person says excuse me as she walked away. Customer service, almost every staff looked so unhappy and angry, seriously if you don’t like it then leave! You’re leaving such an unpleasant atmosphere.
Cashier, she was so impatient with me paying with my EBT card that she pushed the ATM up in my face that’s an inch away. Well excuses me the ATM hasn’t processed fast enough for me to approve my purchase! So rude!
AND HERE COMES THE MOST UNCOMMON EVENT:
My 63 year old grandmother visited Dollar Tree today and she was shoved and thrown to the floor by another customer while his girlfriends all laughed at her IN FRONT OF THE CASHIERS. Not outside the store, it’s INSIDE the store in front of everyone who’s passing by.
NO ONE HELPED HER. Not the secuirity guard, not the cashier, not the staff, nobody!
I really want to FIRE EVERY single staff in here! This place is too ignorant and highly rude!

I prefer to shop here when intoxicated so I can deal with all of the obnoxious trahy people. But this store has saved me a lot of money.

I rated this Dollar Tree location 4 stars for a few reasons. First off, it has a private parking lot with security; I can’t stand when I have to pay to park just so I can shop somewhere. Second, it’s larger than most locations, which means a greater supply of goods at cheap prices. Thirdly, the quality of the items here is pretty good, I’ve found a lot of name brand toys for my kids at just a dollar each (Disney, Marvel, Pokemon, etc…). Lastly, I love that they have a clearance rack that marks down to 75% off after holidays or closeouts.

If I had not been told there was a bridal aisle I wouldn’t have ventured down here. There was so much which can be seen on their main site:
Still, that list is incomplete. Do you know what is even better than the listed decorations? There are components to build decorations and accentuate your theme if you are a DIY bride or groom. see?
If Kyle Reese had travelled back from the future to tell me I would buy anything from a Dollar Store for my wedding I’d have tried to get him institutionalized, too! There would have been no John Connor! Anyway, I was totally shocked! It was an adventure. Check it out!

I love the dollar store its cheap and better then. other stores you will find things at the dollar store for a dollar
other places 3 or 4 dollars im glad we have some kind of money saving oppurtuntiy

I like to come here for Mylar helium balloons and party supplies! It’s a good place to pick up plastic tablecloths in all the primary colors and I love getting helium balloons here. They have a large selection of birthday themed balloons but a few for other occasions. Is it appropriate to get a «get well soon» balloon for someone who is pregnant? I miss my drinking buddy.

Pros:
–They will have Pop Tarts in stock
–Everything is 1.00
–Big parking lot
–Across the street from Mc Donalds
–Friendly employees
–This Dollar store has more things in stock than other Dollar Tree stores
Cons:
–Busy
–When you go in, you come out with more than you planned
–They wouldn’t let me use one of my coupons

I’ve been coming to this location for a very long time. But everytime I come here, something always happens. It’s obvious by the location that it is a ghetto dollar tree. So the fact that I come across some incident, shouldn’t be a surprise. I like coming because it is a big store, I can always find what I am looking for. The store is always a mess. There’s always like two cashiers with lines going through the aisles. The parking lot is scary here. I always have someone come up to me trying to sell me their bootleg DVDs. My visits here are short and sweet.

I found what I needed but made sure to get out as fast as possible. Questionable area, place looks like it was ransacked inside, and really busy. My visit here was summed up by seeing a man change his daughter’s diaper in the parking lot, pants sagging down to reveal his posterior as he bent over, and the diaper sitting on the parking lot cement, gloriously wafting in the air like a portable septic tank. Quite a memory that will stay with me forever on this place. Parking is great though, if there’s a bright spot.

GHETTO.
People slanging CD’s in the parking lot, panhandling.
Good thing they have a security now.
Items: Well stocked for the most part, abundant supplies, cheap.
Customer lines: Average 5 min wait. If you get unlucky, they are understaffed and the lines stretches because not enough clerks. Gets really chaotic before a holiday.
Customer Service: I come here often, I give props to the clerks who smile, greet, say thank you, and are well mannered. There are some who are exhausted from the chaos and you can tell. It’s a little harder to speak with them about personal bulk orders because of how busy it is. So I order things online from
and have an in-​store pick up.

The checkout lines are usually the weakest point of shopping here, expect a five to minute wait to checking out.
You may shop for bargains mostly but not their dried beans packages which are only 12 ounces, go to Grocery Outlet which are 16 ounces.
The Frozen Kung Pao Chicken is pretty tasty after preparing it for as a filling for lettuce wraps, barbeque rib sandwich available year round and is less expensive than the seasonal McDonald’s McRib sandwich, high quality nail polish products L.A. Colors. Good price on canned kidney beans, trail mix 6 ounce packages.

unsanitary… sometimes no parking.
always a long ass damn line !!!
hire more workers or put more people at the register !! not just 2 people for like a gazillion people !

I have found my place to pick up forgotten items on my trips to Oakland. This whole are is hard to find a 99 cent store or a cvs or just a place to sell me a bar of deodorant or a extra toothbrush, but Dollar Tree, Thank You.
Place is just like a 99 cents store, OK size, nothing fancy, staff is just there to charge you, they are not there to answer most questions or where you can find a certain item, can’t blame them since there are tons of items, who can keep track if they have or are out of any item at any time.
Parking is in the back, large parking to be honest.
In & Out in 15 minutes, took me longer since i was wondering in a few aisle before actually going to the cash register.

Store Management was completely sexually harassing an employee in front of me.
It was DISGUSTING!
«JHONNY» the manager was standing behind the cashier demanding that the cashier bend over and pick up the penny that he claims she dropped. You could tell on her face that she had been harassed from him before.
She told him it wasn’t her penny, then he proceeded to tell her that he would wait for her to pick it up. All while standing right behind her butt.
He was steadily making eyes at her, and she was steadily writhing in disgust.
SERIOUSLY, this guy made me SO uncomfortable!
Dollar Tree needs to get rid of this SLIME BALL!
DISGUSTING! I will not return to the store till that dirt bag is out!
And I am writing the company.

Ahh This old Dollar Tree saved my butt many times when I was in need of cheap necessities and along way away from a paycheck. Is it me or are the Isles more cramped? There is a lot of stuff blocking the isles, and the joint is full of bad kids playing rite in front of there parents. This is a store not a park! Where are the cart wipes! I asked a clerk if I could get cash back with my purchase and he said sure but we charge a dollar for it. I said no thanks and dropped my basket and headed to Lucky.
P. S. Don’t waste money on that chick selling oranges in the parking lot, they will go bad in a few days

NOTICE: At first I was reluctant to come here due to the sketch-​factor… but I was relieved to see the inside isn’t ghetto at all.
So some of the reviewers on here said this Dollar Tree is *huge* and at first I didn’t believe it but after SEEING it, yes I agree: It’s really big!
(Bear in mind that there’s a 99 Cents Only store in San Leandro (and Berkeley) that’s about twice the size of this store.)
I have to say that I’ve never been so impressed with the selection of this company before… In fact I used to not even really like DT to begin with. I popped in here to quickly check it out but ended up spending hella time looking at all their stuff. Lotsa value to be found here.
This place is definitely a welcomed alternative to 99COS, meaning I can ride my bike to it from the place I live now, whereas I’d have to drive to 99.
They have a quite large frozen foods section with some decent items on board. Also, the grocery section is comparable to 99 as well. Pretty much the only thing they DON’T have is fresh produce (fruits and veggies).
The staff was fine, the parking lot large (although its true that you have to kinda watch your back in it), and the interior pretty clean… in fact cleaner than most 99’s now that I think about it.
Their holiday section was massive, too, if you’re into that sort of thing, as was their home cleaning supplies and stuff like that.
Cheers to the first 5 star review I’ve ever written for a Dollar Tree!

I heart the Dollar Tree especially around the holidays and I’m not just talking about Xmas! Halloween, Saint Patty’s Day, Valentine’s Day and more the Dollar Tree holds it down with an over flowing selection of generic Palmer’s Chocolate, plastic cups, napkins and paper plates with a festive motif and more crap to hang from your front door than Sanford and Son!
Beside the above, you can score name brand cleaning supplies, blank CD-​Rs and all the movie candy you can shove in to your pie hole at a double feature all for a Washington.
Bonus star for the extra large parking lot and being so close to a McDonalds AND a Jack In The Box. Enjoy!

The Dollar Tree Corp. denied a worker’s comp claim against one of their employees who was murdered — while on the job — in a random hate crime. Boycott Dollar Tree.
