Dollar Tree

I appreciate all that the dollar store has to offer but it's hard to shop there sometimes because there is more inventory in boxes in the aisles than there is inventory on the shelves. This makes it very hard to move around in the store even with limited capacity of patrons. If it all possible I recommend have stocking performed after hours to ensure safety in moving around and ensure that items are on the shelves and available when the store is open.

Be sure to check for an expiration date on anything you buy. I saw multiple food items that had expired in 2020 being sold. This is not the first time I have seen this. I have informed management, but I guess they don't want to change their selling practices. Just beware!

The customer service was horrible. There were only 2 cashiers in the entire store traffic was moderate and the line became backed up and in the direction to the checkout line was disorganized but I'm relieved that the customers were older and mature enough to deal with it without complaints and becoming inpatient. My overall experience was unforgettable, not in a good way. It left a bad impression in my mind of how poorly the cashier who rung up my items allowed another customer to jump ahead of me in line at checkout. She also witnessed the customer becoming biligerant and irate with me for no reason and did or said nothing to stop it.

My shopping experience at dollar tree in Bowie on 10/22 was horrible. After finding everything I was looking for I proceeded to checkout with my three children, I immediately noticed there were only two cashiers. As the line began to backup there was no direction as to where the line began or ended and there were no additional store employees directing traffic to ensure that each customer whom appeared to be ready to checkout their purchases was in the correct line. As I stood in what I thought was a second line for the second cashier, one of the cashiers announcing the next person to step up to her counter for checkout allowed another customer to cut in front of me in the line. I than kindly stepped back as the cashier instructed the other customer to place her items on the belt to be rung up. As the other customer reached the end of her transaction and had paid for her merchandise she than turned in my direction and began to be confrontational with me. She than proceeded to shout and loud talk me and questioned my parenting in front of my children for no apparent reason. As the other customer was being disorderly and negatively impacting the entire store the cashier sat and watched her become irate with me and did or said nothing to diffuse the situation. I felt embarrassed and humiliated the fact that this lady tried to belittle me in front of other customers in the store. This is an example of poor judgement on the employees part for not politely asking that customer to leave the store and to stop acting so immature by starting arguments with other customers including me. I will never shop at this location again nor will I refer any of my friends or family to shop at the Bowie Dollar Tree.

This is a nice dollar tree and they always have everything I want and I usually find stuff here that other local dollar trees haven't stocked. I just go when it opens. All dollar trees get junky and crowded later in the day it seems. But this one has a nice selection.
