Fun, large store with great inventory variety. Unlike some other "dollar stores," everything in this store really is one dollar, no less, no more. I needed some UV protective sunglasses for a one-time trip out on the Monterey Bay with a group. When I went grocery shopping today, Walgreen's had Foster-Grant sunglasses for $16. For fun I went to the nearby Dollar Tree. All of their $1 sunglasses have polycarbonate (UV protective) lens. Polycarbonate lenses are far more impact-resistant than plastic or glass lenses provide 100% protection from UV rays Many were pretty ugly, but I quickly found a decent wrap-around pair that look reasonably good - a 94% savings. When they inevitably get broken or lost, I'll just go back for another $1 pair. Judging by how busy the store was, I'd guess they have a lot of regular customers. Dollar Tree tends to be associated with less affluent neighborhoods, but this area near Silicon Valley is definitely upscale with an $922K average home price...

So I stepped over to the next cashier and he very rudely said oh no shes closing, I said oh I'm sorry and went back to the line I was in.

I said I'm sorry! She never acknowledged me or said anything to me. She left her register started cleaning up around the registers then got back on her register and took the customer behind me! Are you serious?? What was that about. She had clocked out ,then got back on and worked off the clock!! Then pulled her til. Wow!! Dollar tree you will never change. Keep up the...
