“I've always liked this Dollar tree location. Not too big and not too small and staff are always helpful and have positive attitudes. Store is also kept clean and usually stocked. Selection of items is also good. Nice to know that this location has gift cards racks.
I’m not a big fan of self serve checkouts and their three self checkout line can be long. Often times, when it does, staff will open up a cashier line.
You may find undesirable-looking people outside entrance area standing around, maybe asking for money. They seem to be harmless.
Parking can be tight out in front of their store but the outdoor plaza has plenty of parking.”
“I appreciated the amount of products/ supplies nearly tucked in the store (including bottled water), the low prices, AND most importantly the kind and helpful staff; especially the manager/owner!makes a special”
“I knew we could find some cheap plastic baskets to put our toiletries in while traveling and found them here. Also looked for some name brand baby shampoo for $1.25 instead of $7+ at the pharmacy. I was also looking for some spray eye glass cleaner expecting to find a small travel size for $1.25. Nope a much larger size for your home counter. Too big to travel. Always great Halloween and Christmas decorations and small projects for the grandkids to do.”
“Update:
They restocked the shelves and organized the store finally!!! All the other 3 times or so I have been here was a total mess so I am glad they are improving.
This is the most messy, low stock, and unorganized Dollar Tree I have been to in San Diego. I am shocked that nothing has improved since the couple of times I have been here. Also, it is strange that the brightness in the store is low and too dark at times. They need more employees to restock the shelves and organize everything better.”
“Cleanest Dollar Tree I've ever been to. I went on a Saturday evening before they closed, actually we were their last customer. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean and fully stocked they were considering it being the end of their business day. The manager and all other employees working were very professional, helpful and polite. Thank you for providing wonderful service, we'll be back.”
“Some of the best employees in the area. I'm a frequent customer of theirs and they're very much familiar with me at this point. They have right about anything you need and the employees are just the greatest human beings. Keep up the great work!”
“Always fully stocked. Good customer service (they great you as. you walk in and as you leave).
A lot of parking.
Only downside, it can be scary at night if there's beggers/homeless people by the entrance.”
“It was quite a show.Due to the fact they stereotype on a lady who had just gotten off work they thought she had taken something it got loud and it was humiliated for the women ....”
“First time visiting, and I stopped in on a Wednesday evening around 5:30 PM. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of items they had! They had everything from school supplies to food, and the selection was much better than I expected.
They even had burger buns, sliced bread, hot dog buns, and an entire aisle filled with chips! 🤯 I was seriously impressed. Everything was well-stocked, and I found so many useful items.
I highly recommend checking this Dollar Tree out. I’ll definitely be returning!”
“For those gift ideas made with love, or party decorations for graduation or whatever the occasion may be. The Dollar Tree is the place for you. They have a bit of everything at low prices.”
“This place is a hidden gem! The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I love the variety of products they offer at such great prices. I always leave with more than I planned, and it makes shopping fun!”
“I’ve been a regular at this location & a few more for at least 8 years. This is my go to location, as I live near by, but the store is big. They have a bigger store & more selection than others. The employees here have always been great! I used to crack jokes with a few of the girls since we’d always see each other, & I’m not a creep or anything. I’m just a single mom who worked years in retail too. Some of them have rbf, but hey, I do too, so I get it. I can’t say one negative thing about the employees or the store. Yeah sometimes it’s super busy, but they will open another register, where at other locations, they won’t. They always keep the shelves stocked, unless there’s a transportation or shortage issue beyond their control. I alway get what I’m looking for & more. Thanks to all the employees here for making this location the best one. Yall r awesome.”
“This dollar tree was small and when I went it was crowded. It was understaffed so the lines were long. Staff was courteous and polite. I just went at a bad time apparently. Still overall a pretty good experience 👍”
“I go because I can find good things here. That are reasonably priced. And I can stock up on the things I like. You might be surprised at what you can find and save on.”
“Said was extremely respectful and assisted me with my items quickly and efficiently yesterday . In my experience, other employees often take longer and may seem unsure of what they’re doing, but Said truly stood out by going above and beyond. He even helped me package my items and carried my groceries out to my car, since the carts aren’t allowed past the exit—something no other employee has done for me before. I really appreciate his excellent service and want to thank both Said and the Dollar Store for such a great experience.”
“This place is a treasure trove of amazing finds! From household essentials to fun decorations, I always leave with way more than I planned for. The staff is super friendly and the store is always well-stocked and organized—definitely my go-to for budget shopping!”
“It’s easy fast quick and cheap and they are so nice here. Every time I come in with my dog the cashier stops and pets him and since he’s an old guy he really really loves the attention so I really appreciate her for doing that .”
“The people I met recently were most friendly and sweet. But I do have to complain about a cashier doing a while ago that was obnoxious and violated basic queue logic.
Buyer 1 who was third in line in Line A, had three items. Line B then opened. So that buyer went to be the first at Line B. But the cashier STOPPED that buyer and forced them to wait, just to bring the buyer second in Line A over. For the record, Buyer A had only like a handful of items, Line A was NOT exceptionally slow. Buyer B had a full cart of items! Even Buyer B was confused.
The cashier shouldn’t have to do such things, it’s first come first serve for cashier lines for efficiency. The cashier should ONLY EVER pull from the front of another line if it is exceptionally slow. Still, why pull someone with a full cart from the front of even an exceptionally slow/long line to get first dibs in a newly open line, when someone with just one item has already made it there? Not everyone buyer will be aware enough to let the person with one item ahead. All of this serves as “accommodation” that only wastes more time and effort. Another scenario even: if someone makes it to line 1 with a lot of items, is in a hurry but isn’t gonna mention anything for politeness sake, only for the cashier to pull Person B who has an equal amount of items from the front of another average line. It’s just, by this same logic, should the buyer who stayed inside the store the longest be given dibs as the first one to pay, out of everyone currently present in the store?
This was a quite a mundane rant I went on but it really was annoying. Another good thing, it seems the possibly bigoted older male employee is gone, the one who many have reported acted weird to them from treating them rudely, to searching bags and following them. Relief.”
“Today I came into Dollar tree, and I saw a long line and I didn’t know how long it would take but the cashier Kay I believe her name was. She is absolutely fantastic. Very professional. Absolutely wonderful energy. Hands down and super fast !!! Thank you Kay !!!!”
“Great store, never has too long of a line and is always being organized to keep up with people's mistake put backs.
They also have the best balloons!”
“Always find the best deals here! It's amazing how much you can get for a dollar. The staff is friendly, and I love the variety of items, from snacks to crafts. Definitely a fun place to shop!”
“Really want to give a shout out to Mary the lone cashier . She remained calm and collected during very busy time only sole lane open. Amidst let's say not so pleasant people name calling and demeaning her... she held back and didn't engage in some not well mannered customers let's just say that!”
“Loved this store. Large variety. Many cute things. Found gift boxes for Mother's Day gifts. Picked up a couple of things for Father's Day to go with his big gift.”
