“Store always has lotsa good loot! ? Excellent deals. I only use Eucerin Advanced Repair lotion where it's usually $10 for 8oz on Amazon - I find it here for 4.95 when they have it, last time they didn't have but found Gold Bond Healing 5.5 oz for 3.95 and it's very good too. Bought all sorts of other toiletries Mennen deodorant Aqua Shave razors shaving creams ALL very low priced and definitely lower than Walmart Target, wherever. ✌️ ?”
“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.”
“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.”
“The location is perfect for going over the border. I love this brand. I got a good number of things that will go well with my accommodation in Baja. I personally don't know how to use the dollar stores in Mexico so I think this is a good stop for a new traveller.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I love this place. You can tell that the people that started this company and the ones who run it today have always had the customers best interest at heart. I commend the Dollar Tree on its commitment to providing quality at an unmatched price and I recommend supporting this company. There are no other dollar stores around after the pandemic and inflation. They only went up a humble 25 cents. At the other stores I'll be damned if there is anything for a buck anymore. Update some prices on certain items have gone up.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I have been going to dollar tree for years. I always can find the majority of things a stopped fo unlike other 99 cent stores.I always have had friendly service.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 is a this is a great place to shop the the tellers and and employees are all pretty nice and fair and they don't discriminate against you for your color race cold or creed unlike other stores that are predominantly Hispanic they don't discriminate against people like myself because the African American or black or native American or something other nationality that they don't have any they have little to no respect for this at this store you don't feel any of that”
“This is as good a place to go when you have a number of things that you need to find and purchase & limited $$$ with which to buy them : THIS is a friendly store with helpful clerks and other customers & many many shelves filled just about everything you can imagine needing or wanting to give your ideas and your projects that extra little jenesaisPAS that makes it all work!”
“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 ....”
“Right now there is not much assortment of products, and their prices start from $1.25 and up, I hope they return to having the assortment of products they used to have”
“I go there wvery day frlm Mon-Fri in the morning, and cashier Rosa is an amazing lady ! She always greeting every one who walls througj those doors !

“The BEST Dollar Tree. They have EVERYTHING. It's very clean and organized. Nice ppl who work there. From nice dishes to facial toner and serums there's a wide selection of quality items. I'm going baco for fake nails 1.25 and all shapes & eyelashes 1.25 very thick long and curled. They do have some items for 5.oo”
“i look forward to seeing the suprise goodies at dollar tree, but sadly through research i was made aware how the street people are almost stealing them out of business, which i was through my research caused the neighborhood walmart to pack up leave and close down, which i looked forward to doing my weekly shoping, which walmart called it the store was under" performing" being stolen out of business, i suspect is because in california you can steal up to $900+ dolars before it becomes a felony, on top of that the street people aint got nothing to loose, jail to them is 3 hots and a cot, on top of that, by the time the cops arive the 5 finger discounter is long gone, i sugested to put up signs we reward people who turn in shop lifters, also they could put on the sign please help us stay in your comunity turn in a shop lifter, there is no way do i have the smarts, to figure out the thousands of steps it takes to open 1 store now x that by 5000+ stores, i have heard street talk "i hate rich people, who are probably the low lifes that steal stores out of business, then i ask them do you know any poor people who have opened any stores lately, which causes them to go into a major grand maul sezure, trying to come up with a answer, then to further drive the point home, i say dont you think these rich people you say you hate, could easly close down every 1 of their stores and haply go to a tropical lisland and easly retire for the rest of their lives, not having to put up with low life shop lifters, facts even if money grew on trees the smart ones would get it first, fact i aint that smart, and i aint rich, so fact to the extent a person is rich is a measurement of their smarts, and i make it a point to thank them for being open, oh yeah if i witness a low life abusing a casheer, i will apologize for them being walked allover like a dirty rug, i try to conduct my life on the grudge factor, that means i go out of my way to treat people kindly and respectfull, so far it has worked out in my life real good”
