“Jonah was amazing when his computer froze and he didn’t have anyone to help up front thankfully Danielle the manager and Jordyn were close by to assist him i love this Ollie’s the deals are always a steal especially for last minute deals”

“I like the Dollar tree the only problem is is it's no longer a dollar it's a $1.25 and even higher I wish they carried a little more stock you can't count on the things that you want to be there on a weekly basis but it's still a cool place employees are pretty nice”
“I am currently unemployed so I have started doing Instakart to pay them barely…. I had been up for almost two days when I had an order for that store for balloons, the order was for like 10 foil ones and 15 regular ones. The original person that came out to help me acted like it was such a bother to her to help a customer! She told me that they do not blow up the packaged balloons they sell and so I had to cancel half the order, they weren’t even in stock. The store didn’t seem organized to me, product was mixed and put everywhere randomly. The older lady that acted bothered finally walked off without helping me get the rest of the balloons! I was like “seriously???”, “I have an Instakart order that’s on a time limit!!!”…. The other cashier came over to help me after she was done cashing out the other customers…. Taylor was so nice and accommodating to my need to fill the order she even helped me to flatten the balloons to scan each one!!! I was so happy she was there to help me because I was so flustered and I am new to the Instakart platform. Taylor really went above and beyond her duties to help me!!! I think that she needs the Manager job at that store, I think the rude older woman that didn’t seem interested in helping me was the Manager…. Definitely need some restructuring at that location!!! Thank you so much Taylor, don’t lose that helpful quality!!! I’m posting my receipt, it’s a little blurry but Taylor’s name is at the bottom…”

“Great experience from entry to exit...Security Guard was nice and Juliel (unsure of spelling) is a gem. He acknowledged me as soon as I walked towards the line and then tested my sneaker to make sure it would be a great starter shoe for my walks. He is also very encouraging and positive. He is going places. Do what y'all have to and keep pushing him to the top!!”
“I wanted to take a moment to recognize Dee for the outstanding service she provided to me and my family today. From the moment we interacted with her, she was friendly, warm, and genuinely welcoming. She was incredibly helpful and took the time to make sure all of our questions were answered without ever making us feel rushed or like we were a bother. Dee was truly a joy to deal with. Her positive attitude and professionalism made a real difference in our day. We left feeling well taken care of and grateful we were helped by her. Thank you, Dee—you’re a wonderful person and a true asset to Family Dollar!!! Many blessings to you and I pray that you get the recognition that you deserve!!!!”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026. The company calls this makeover "Store Experience 2.0." Gone are the cramped aisles and confusing layouts that once defined discount shopping. Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
