Five Below — Local services in South Portland

Went to cash out with only 5 items mostly little snacks, the man working the register was very rude. I waited for the customer who had just been cashed out to move and waited for the okay from the cashier which I never received so I just went up. The associate didn’t acknowledge me so I just started placing my items on the counter. He snickered and just grabbed a reusable bag, ripped the tag off and scanned it without even asking me any questions. He finally looks up to see the items, mutters under his breath and grabs a paper bag and starts putting my items inside. I look at him confused because his behavior was so bizarre that I felt like I was being punk’d. I looked at my son like am I going crazy or is this guy have a problem. Anyway I handed him cash, he gave me my change and didn’t say anything else. So I laughed like um okay? Said have a good day he nodded his head and I proceeded to walk away. But then I looked at my receipt where he clearly charged me for the .35 bag that I never asked for or received but paid for so I went back to him and said I’ll take the bag that I paid for I guess and he said I gave you the .10 bag instead like okay? But I paid for the dumb blue bag so…? And he hands me the bag and I walk away. I left so confused as to why the guy was so dang rude. Even my kids were confused. This was by far the worst experience I’ve had at...

Love the products. Unfortunately not able to say the employees are super friendly. I've downright felt unwelcome at this location. However the variety of cool stuff keeps me coming back! Only other minor annoyance (which I've also seen happen at local dollar stores), is the occasional overpriced item. I let the employee on staff at the time know... though they didn't seem passionate about letting anyone know for the better of the store's business :/. Example: an item half the size of the one I saw at Walmart, for $2 extra. Just saying! Hey, maybe that's how they make their money! I do always wonder how places like this can sell some pretty high quality, unique products for such a low price. But don't get me wrong, I am definitely not complaining, just full...

I love "5 below" the one in South Portland Maine is always very clean, organized, everything always stocked. The staff there are really nice, very friendly, and really helpful. They have a good mix of everything in "5 Below" seasonal, home decor, clothing, makeup, toys & games, arts & crafts, tons of cell phone item, candy, cards, party decor, electronics, health & fitness, and so much more. They are called "5 Below" because nothing in the store is over 5 bucks but a lot of it could be sold for much more. I save a ton of money going there & getting some of my makeup. They have wet n wild, la girl, and a few other good brands there & they are normally the cheapest place to get the items...
