Dollar Tree — Local services in Yelm

Yes, Dollar Tree has a lot of fun finds, and low price items you may need. My issue with this location isn't that it's always busy. That's great. But they always have only 1 lane open, until the line wraps around the isles, then and only then do the managers feel obligated to open 1 more lane to help customers. I feel bad for the clerks. They are treated badly. Tonight, as I was working an INSTACART shop, 1 clerk tried to help me try to find numerous items, to no avail, as they were not in stock. So I got in the very very long line. Eventually the woman "manager" with green hair opened a check lane, but did not turn the light on. When I got to the front of the first lane, Judy, my cashier was very helpful, I had to get 10 balloons for my customer. While she was helping me with the balloons, she kindly let customers know that there was another lane open. But then one manager was leaving and asked if Judy had gone on break. Mind you, Judy and I are both standing right there. Green hair lady says "oh she's right here". Then yelled at Judy and said she was "not open in the check lane" (with 10 customers waiting in her lane)"and I'm a manager remember that".... what the heck?!?!! Why would you treat an employee like that in front of the customers who pay your wages?? I swear, if everyone who was waiting in long lines in the Yelm Dollar Tree would drop their selections on the floor and leave, maybe they would remember that customers pay their wages, and should not be left to wait in long lines while managers sit in the tiny office avoiding them. And don't treat the employees (who are stocking shelves, and at checkstands by themselves with no help) like they are dirt. Customers...

This is the nicest Dollar Tree I've been to in the Olympia area. It's always nice and clean without all the cluttered isles you find in other stores. They also carry a larger variety of items that are usually in stock. (The store in Lacey is messy and have a lot of empty spaces.)

Because I try to shop early in the morning I really don't know how long the lines get during peak hours. But they usually have two lines open when I'm there. The employees are very helpful and cheerful.

This store is a bit out of my way but I like that there's a Goodwill, Harbor Freight and Grocery Outlet in the same strip mall. Also Walmart is right down the road so I can get the majority of my shopping done in a...

I’ve been at this location multiple times and normally don’t have any issues other than wait time to be checked out due to short staffing. However when I went in there this afternoon (Thursday May 19th and 2pm) I witnessed a worker being talked down to and criticized for asking for a break and calling up a manager to check a $100 bill as you’re always supposed to, so unprofessional. The worked maintained her professionalism although you could tell she was tired and needed a break. She was the only worker in site as well. I do NOT think said manager knows how to work in customer service and needs to be retrained. This type of behavior is unacceptable and...
