Dollar Stores in Albany, NY

“So the review before mine, saying that the 'dark haired Spanish girl' hasn't been there and it's been a mess since, I do agree that she worked very diligently and is very good at keeping a wild and crazy store going. I hope she is doing well because she has helped me many times. One time, years ago my wallet fell out of my pocket in the store and she put it in the safe in case I came back for it. I had just cashed a check and had several hundred dollars of cash in it. I was very grateful because I wouldn't have even blamed anyone for taking it or the wallet being there with the cash gone. But everything was still there. Now that's a good employee. There was a man in there too who was aware of the situation and I really was full of respect and gratitude, I appreciate knowing that good people like them are in our communities. When I drive by at9-10pm on my way home from work, if the lights are still on in there I picture them in there doing their best to get the store closed and ready for the morning shifts.

There's an older woman in the store that I don't particularly enjoy because I find her to be loud, boisterous and smells like stale smoke and clipped cigarettes. She will announce loudly that she can't get anything done and is not even supposed to be on register. Or that she didn't take a break and should have left hours ago... If her time management is out of control like that, it makes me think that she should adhere to the work she is assigned and not just fumble around assigning blame and making everyone else stress out over it. If she's not getting the work done then hmmm maybe, just maybe? They might hire another person or flex someone else in to give the store some reprieve. I'm sure she's a good worker in other regards. She doesn't make me feel unwelcomed or anything like other customers have reported, she's just stressed and frazzled. It's a clear indication that she needs help in there. I find it's unfair to compare the employees to one another. They are totally different people with different idiosyncrasies.
There is a newer female employee in the store lately who is fast, efficient, detail oriented and really has combed through the aisles to remove expired products and organize the mess so the items are actually in the correct spots. A lot of times the store can't keep track of the inventory if they have a popular product that is behind an unpopular one. They won't get more of an item that has been displaced and still in the store or stolen. If they sell something then that can be replenished. I've noticed some products that they are supposed to carry but never have in stock are starting to be in stock again in the last couple of months which I am very grateful for. It's a difficult job. Please respect the workers in there even if you're at odds with them or having negative interactions.
I hope people realize that their job is tiresome and not always rewarding. They are usually understaffed but mostly willing to help. They do put the customer needs ahead of their own so be sure to thank them and remember that they are doing their job.”

“This Dollar Tree is THE BEST DOLLAR TREE in the area BY FAR. They always have everything in stock, the shelves are always full, the store is always clean and the staff is amazing. The cashiers are friendly and the managers are always nice and greet you with a smile. The female manager has fantastic customer service skills and is always eager to make your shopping experience a good one. Five stars isn't enough. Great job Colonie Dollar Tree!”

“Great dollar tree . They always have plenty of new items. And the store is always clean when I go.

Outside of the Menan’s Dollar tree this probably is my favorite”

“The place is always full of stock boxes on the floor and they always have one cashier open. But you can't beat the prices stuff is always cheap and now they are at 25%on Red tag items go check them out”

“There are a couple of worker's that need to keep their mask on their face not on the chin coughing not covering their mouths and it should be mandatory for all customer's to wear masks as well everyone safety is important”

“Odd location. No stores on either side for this Family Dollar. It's big inside though, so don't get lost. Lots of products at rock bottom prices to get back at that nasty inflation! There is a cards /sports section, candy, household, canned goods, milk, meat, soda, chips, plants, toys, tshirts, kitchen, baking goods and paper towels. Staff like to chat with customers!Review: 4”

“I love this Family Dollar store. I've been shopping here for years, hate to see it go. I love Ms. Tina. She's always available to assist you with your needs, and know s her stuff! I've never had a bad experience when shopping there. I really hate to see this store close. Alot of the older folks, can't travel too far. This was a perfect stop. We really need this store.”
