Dollar Tree Bargains that are still worth the price
The last cycle of Dollar Tree hikes could be a shock for anyone who is based on the store to stay on the budget. However, many customers agree that it is not a complete wash.
"Does that mean that Dollar Tree is no longer worth at all?" No, of course not! " @jaymuneedy said in his video. "They still have very good deals on many things. But these are only a few of the things that I will not do any more shopping at Dollar Tree."
However, @Rachelxburrows underlines that there is a drawback for this set of modifications that everyday customers may not even consider when they enter the store.
"I think that the worst of all is that all the work is poured on the employees who are already underpaid with all the tights, the changes of the shelf, the changes of disposition, but also, not a single increase in salary," she said.
