Dollar Tree — Local services in Calera

On Thursday December 8, 2022 around 2:28pm I found for the second time that there was only one cashier again. She was very courteous, professional, patient and very polite who consistently tells her customers to be patient and that she was very sorry for the long wait. But if they would just have a little patience she would get to them.

However, it’s not right to only have ONE CASHIER in the store when the line is always back to the freezer or all the away around. Next, when I saw this I just turned around and left. Because there is no way I was going to get in that line. It’s a shame for a manager to have cut down cost to one cashier to save money especially when the prices have been rises higher. I don’t understand why the manager isn’t there in the store to assist this overworked, underpaid employee. I wish I had her name because I would print it but we all know and she deserves 10 plus ⭐️’s.

Also, there should be expiration dates on the items in the store especially the cookies, cakes, and candy. The cookies in the can were very stale and I ended up throwing them away. You must have expiration dates. But on the whole I give this store 3.5 out of 5. Please hired more people and a better management for this store. It’s really tiring to have to travel to another location just to get a one or two items when you...

I go here at least once a week... the past several visits the cashier has been on her phone talking the entire time I was there, even when she was ringing us up. The shelves are not stocked and you can never find anything. Today was the last straw, while in line waiting to be rung up she actually asked me if I could wait there while she went to her vehicle and got a mary kay book out for the customer in front of us! The customer told her to finish her line first. I asked her to wrap my glassware (about 10 pieces) and she told me she had no newspaper and argued about it. I'm pretty sure I'm done with this joke...

This store has gone down hill since they moved. Cashiers are checking their cell phones while ringing you up, some were rude with no "thank you", at least the shelves are looking better than before. The managers stand around talking to cashiers. They have 3 registers and only open one waiting untill lines are backed up to open another. Some employees don't follow dress code. I used to work at Dollar Tree and my manager would have been appalled at the way this store is ran!! The Alabaster store is so much nicer...
