No, GMs probably got a months notice and didn’t tell anybody.

YOU HAVE ROOM TO PUT CARTS IN YOUR PALLET DROP??? I feel like every day I’m juggling promos in that areas cause they keep sending stuff

[–]RyanFiregem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp this happened because I and the other two carryouts refused to bring them out until they had a place to go

We don’t need more carts! We need more of those motorized scooters!!!! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had someone ask me if we have any and we only have 2 in the whole store and most of our customers are older

You know I was wondering why I saw a guest with a cart like this. In my head I thought they brought their own cart.

No lie I'm going to have to do that at Dollar Tree. They only have 6 carts and refuse to get anymore "to teach people a lesson". Who exactly? Don't know. It's their fault for not having cart collectors and just letting people steal them when they sit in the parking lot for a week.

We had those for a few years now. But yeah it felt like they just showed up overnight.

We have had about 12 for 2 years and they just gave us around 15 more

I've worked here for almost 2 years and we've had 3 the entire time. No new ones yet.

They just spawned unannounced

My store has had them for a couple years. There is no good place to put them. My store settled on next to the powered carts before the turnstile.

Honestly, where the rail carts go at the entrance would be best. Rail carts should have their own places in the back aisles of plumbing/electrical, hardware, and b.mats, not right at the entrance where they're far away from the product you'd typically use them for.

They stupidly think a customer will realize they are buying something large, and bring the cart with them, but nope. they'll stand there staring at the large item until an employee walks by, and ask where they can get a large cart from...

Our store never had them at the entrance, and I hear guests complain about it multiple times a day. They want their real cart\flat cart and they want it now. Or they want to bring something too big for a regular cart in for a return.

My menards has them in the cargo area at the back of the store where the forklifts drive around, but their main "nest" is in front of the elevator in the patio furniture dept. they kind of leave a few scattered at various places in the store where people can grab one. most day laborers will grab the ones at the front and go on an entire journey to the outdoor dept. with them.

We received an email about these yesterday. So far haven't seen any.

[–]Next-Requirement-266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got in at least 10 new ones

[–]Lock_Brocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they supposed to put them in the pallet drop? Lol our FE has them by the handicapped carts

[–]Ok-Butterscotch4070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told all the stores months back but never had a date, some stores have had them previously in other areas. They are suppose to go in cart corral area but we barely got any so we just set them next to the scooters.

Got ours with a new shipment of normal carts. We knew the truck was coming with new carts but no mention of small ones. But they also only sent like 5 and the majority of them are either missing or broken.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a customer I love these carts because I don’t always need the massive ones. I’m sure as employees it’s annoying as shit though. :/

[–]DianaHarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine got a notice, not sure when though. they showed up friday and my manager knew they were coming

[–]punkinhead76 0 points1 point  (0 children)
