    “I'm so happy with the service I received today at this location! I walked in and needed balloons... Now normally I just go to the section that has ones already blown up and just pick a few from there so as to not bother anyone, but I had a specific theme I was looking for today. The women there were so sweet and helpful and DEFINITELY made me feel valued. sometimes when I go into a store, especially if you're asking for help with something that requires a little bit of extra effort, I often feel like I'm a burden or that the worker is put out by helping me, but today was the complete opposite! Both of them were the sweetest, happy to blow up the specific balloons for me and absolutely made my day! Great job to the staff at the South Delaware location in Ankeny! I'm thoroughly pleased!”

    “I don't normally take the time to write reviews but I had to make the time today! The cashier Thomas was outstanding. From the moment we came into the store, til he got to us: he heard him greeting and going out of his way to help customers that crossed his path. I must say this was by far the most pleasant experiences I've ever had at a Dollar tree. Definitely made our day. Keep up the great work Thomas, you're awesome!”

    “On my way to the airport, stopped in to grab a couple things for my flight. This is not a typical Dollar General! Clean, organized, and the three workers that were there, which is odd for Dollar General, the one guy working said 'oh it's truck day, so you see more of us at once!' made me laugh. The one lady with the tattoos, when I got to the checkout was making everyone laugh whether they were 80 or 8. She asked me 'oh you must be going on a trip somewhere with these items' I was like yeah, how do you know? She laughed and said well...either common sense, or my almost 30 years of retail, do the math kiddo...and she's younger than me! HA! Everyone seems to want to complain about stuff, but I want people to know that this place is so cool! Next time I am back in Des Moines, will stop here for any thing I need!”

    “Always really cute stuff for home decor here. I forget about this store alot.Why is it always dead silent in DG stores though? For real.This one is cramped....really messy and dirty out front. Bout time they installed self check out with how short staffed they have been becoming. But on the other hand... if they keeping they're employees stocking the store, then it should look nicer. This store is a messsssss.”

    “It's a decent neighborhood store. They seem to change managers and employees frequently, so the c9ndition 9f the store seems to depend on who the manager is. Right now it's great. Corporate seems to fail the stores frequently. They demand resets etc, even when there aren't enough employees to get it done. They limit the amount of hrs employees can work, even when the managers don't have enough employees to cover shifts. And, this particular store on E. 42nd went without a bathroom for an extended period of time. DG corporates answer to the problem was to put a porta potty in the parking lot. Smh The current manager and employees at this store are great. They're friendly, helpful, and always seem to keep themselves busy. I'm a frequent shopper here and at the Pleasant Hill store.”
