Dollar Tree had miserable quarter, company management is chalking it up to a mix of factors:
How about the fact that that they are no longer “Dollar” Tree. Used to count on all items there being a dollar. I used to stop there as its next to the grocery store I normally use. After they increased prices I found they charged more for certain grocery items than the grocery store.
Also there is rarely anyone manning the register, you often have to go find someone to check you out at slow periods. And never more than two workers on a shift anymore and they are usually unloading trucks or stocking.
Dollar tree deserves to go out of business. They raised prices to $1.25 each and cut the size of packaging by 25%.
That’s about 37% inflation. They and their theives deserve each other.
