Dollar Tree

"The people were very pleasant and helpful ☺️"

"We used to like going to the Dollar Tree in Hillsborough, but not any more. The manager is very rude. We liked the black guy better. At least he isn't rude. If we want to go to Dollar Tree, we'll go to the store in Chapel Hill or Mebane. They might be smaller than the one in Hillsborough, but at least the people that work there are nice"

"Greatly impressed with the cleanliness of this store, floors were clean. Shelves stocked neatly. Great job pleasure to shop there. Staff great"

"Even though the prices have increased to $1.25, I can ALWAYS find something there either to try as a snack, to drink, or to craft with. I am not that thrilled with the $3 and $5 sections, but... It is what it is."

"Everything is no longer $1 it's $1.25 and it's not everything anymore, they also have some items up to $5. I liked Dollar Tree because it's the last store that only has products for $1. I understand raising prices to $1.25 but by selling other items at different prices it is confusing. If I wanted to have to figure out whether everything is $1.25 or more I might as well go to a competitor dollar store. The employees start announcing they are closing 30 minutes before and make several announcements on the loud speaker telling everyone to finish shopping immediately. At 6 plus minutes to go to closing time we were in the checkout and a employee (manager?) locked the door and stood there staring at us. The cashier was nice and personable, quite the stark contrast to the manager. He checked us out without issue. I went to change out an item that had a chip on it while my husband was being checked out preparing to pay and the manager just stood there in the middle of the store front watching me walk over, seeing where I was going and yet he just stood there in my way making me walk around him. I was trying to be quick since they obviously wanted us out. When a store is open to a certain time I don't believe they should lock the doors and keep customers out before that time. Closing time used to be 9pm, last time it was apparently changed to 8pm which I found out from the repeated unnecessary announcements. One announcement I get, but this was too much and it caused me anxiety. It was clear they didn't want us there and they were extremely worried about leaving on time. We left and packed our kids and purchases into the car and got in. I checked the time and it was 7:57pm and he had had to unlock the door to let us out and then locked it right behind us. Very bad customer service on his part. We felt very uncomfortable the entire time. People expect doors to be open until it is actually closing time not 5 minutes prior. I worked in retail many years and the actual closing time as listed on the door is when the door is locked and not before. Very odd being locked into this store with hostile seeming employees attempting to hover and intimidate you into leaving, not a good experience."
