Dollar Tree — Local services in Fargo

I want to take a moment to reflect on a recent experience that left a disappointing impression—not because of the store itself or its employees, but due to the behavior of a fellow customer.

While browsing, I witnessed a customer declare, “I’m buying the rest of…. “ insert in (previously)stocked merchandise in attached photo) referencing a product that has recently gained popularity as a well-known dupe of a premium item.

This wasn’t just a casual purchase; it was a deliberate and selfish choice to clear the shelf entirely, ensuring no one else had a chance. Such behavior mirrors the kind of impulsiveness you'd expect from a toddler, not a grown adult.

He is the reason that Dollar tree did not get three stars! Thank you very much for your help and climbing...
