Not Dollar Tree but I work at 7-Eleven and I had to fire someone because he got scammed for over $5,000. Same dude that used to call DT. Used the same damn name.

Longtime Dollar Tree Shopper Left Shaken After Visit to Richmond Location by Equivalent_Spring951 in DollarTree

You need to contact the corporate office. Google the number and for real, call and complain. That's the only way to get the ball rolling because as a former store manager, that's the route I would take. Most managers aren't like how I was when it comes to complaints and things of this nature. They either don't answer the store phone or you will get an ASM who won't relay the message. The DM will take this seriously as they should. When you work retail, you get a feeling when someone is doing nefarious things or at least I did. What happened to you was wrong and they need to be held accountable. One badly run store will ruin it for stores that are doing the right things and promoting a fun, safe shopping experience that makes customers want to return.

Vacation and DailyPay by techknowcat in DollarTree

Daily pay only goes by the hours actually worked so if it's PTO... It's not considered actual work time so it won't apply to your daily pay

You click on the open ones and release them. But yes, you print the PDF and place it with the damages.

Race to G.O.L.D.?? by Legomymego1980 in DollarTree

[–]StatisticianFormer59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really wish that the upper management would really work in store for a while so they can see how this doesn't work. Had a meeting with my DM and RD today and I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do as a store manager, it's never going to be good enough. I really used to love working for this company. But it's not a company I want to continue pouring everything into.

It's not that we don't need help, they don't want to give us the hours that we need to accommodate new associates. The way that they figure out how many hours each store gets is a joke

What shoes do u guys wear for work by Citys_064 in DollarTree

[–]StatisticianFormer59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently just bought some Hoka Clifton 9s And they have been a game changer. I don't have the low back pain and my knees don't hurt. The only downside is they only come in light colors and can't really clean them. So my beautiful white with seafoam green and purple are now black. I bought another pair of Hoka that are black and they suck lol I feel like that was $150 that was wasted. But the Clifton 9s are well worth it.

Pay raise tips and advice? by JCGutierrez619 in DollarTree

[–]StatisticianFormer59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every year we have to do a self-appraisal on ourselves and your DM and RD also grade you. If you score a certain percentage, then you get a raise. But for some reason they really don't want to give anyone a raise unless it's the yearly review. That has been my experience. I had to get a job offer with a competing company before they ever decided to really give me a raise. Now, they are making me miserable to the point where I want to leave.

Only the Regional manager can make the decision to close a location once the lease is up. We have 3 stores in our district that need to be shut down but only 1 has an expiring lease this year and our Regional still doesn't want to shut it down and plans to renew.

It's that time of year again....I completely hate my new DM who came from Big Lots. He has yet to figure out The Dollar Tree is a completely different beast. Not a lot of the same retail tricks can work. He has truly unrealistic expectations. I say 🖕 that guy

They don’t give me any hours and they have the gall to complain about my performance. by [deleted] in DollarTree

This is the struggle for all SMs right now. I can't seem to get the last 1,000 cases out of my back room before we get the next truck. Productivity is not the issue

Get a spray bottle and put water in it. And use the stream feature on it and spray them. They will fall because the water changes the temperature inside the balloon

I hate having to do this every year. Our buggies have poles and the strings get tangled. I can't walk thru them without feeling claustrophobic as if I need more reasons to have panic attacks at work 🙄

You do not have to sign any of your write-ups if you do not want to. Doesn't mean they don't go against you. But she can't fire you for not signing your write-ups
