I went to pay at a till as I don't support self-check outs and the July 9th, 3:30 manager points me to a self- check out and I asked if there were any tills open and she rudely says yeah that one pointing to the self-check out. She tells me the employee will do it for me. THE ISSUE ISN'T THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY, it is the fact that that employee will soon be obsolete and most of the starter jobs for our children will be gone. I put my things away and will do the same if they don't have a till open next time. Manager needs an attitude adjustment. Is this an issue of laziness or cheapness???

The store is great and people are great expect for the long grey hair guy. He cussed at me and my friends. He verbally abused us. He was getting in my face. Btw I am 13 years old. He swore at us. We didn’t do anything wrong we were just looking around. This guy should be fired from all dollaramas.

I got what I wanted for a cheap price. Everything about this store is pretty ok, but if you like dollar stores you will most likely like this one

Worst run dollar store around, the self check out are complete disaster. They malfunction nonstop one cashier, four people waiting for assistance. While he’s trying to cash out other people just a complete disaster. No other staff and site lined up all the way around, avoid at all cost there’s lots more in town.!

I was at this location the other day. Firstly. I find it incredibly annoying that the staff purposely scans items at the check out super slowly so people get annoyed at use the self check out. We are asked to buy reusable bags (fine) but if the bag isn’t bought at the store apparently the staff members won’t touch it so we have to pack the bag ourselves. When asked why they won’t touch our bags the cashier replied “it’s a personal thing. We don’t know if you’ve coughed at the bag or not” to which I laughed and said I could have picked my nose and wiped it on one of the said items you just picked up and scanned. While I’m saying that someone coughed aggressively and didn’t cover their mouth. Just make it make sense. If a 90 year old women comes up because she doesn’t know how to use self check out are you going to tell her she has to pack her own bag too because she may have coughed on it ? Just sanitize your hands after or put on some gloves.

I went to dollar tree with my little brother (6)my little sister(9) and big sister (14) and I’m (12) when we first walked in we didn’t even get a hello we just got a dirty look. We didn’t think anything about it until we went to the Candy aisle and all of the workers started surrounding us and then when we went to check out this one worker yelled “Ashley these little kids are stealing in are store again” and then pointed to us. We in fact were NOT stealing and even after that we didn’t say anything and just went to buy the candy then the lady decides that when we are buying our stuff that she wants to stand next to us and watch while giving us dirty looks the whole time.We were very uncomfortable the whole time and a week earlier we went and the same workers gave us dirty looks and rude comments. I don’t recommend shopping here.

Dawna was amazing. So helpful and the most pleasant cashier that I have encountered in a very long time. Dollar Tree should be very proud to have an employee like her.

First time at the Little Brick. It is definitely a bit off the beaten path and is a small eatery. Went with a friend for lunch so we could chat a bit so weren't looking for any place too loud. I was pleasantly surprised. The place is small but there are comfortable places to sit. It is a more still type ambiance so no feeling of rush. Our server was very friendly and accommodating and the food was very good. Place was very clean and inviting. Will definitely return.

BEWARE. DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT Called "Bathroom Cleaner" from the Dollar Tree UNLESS YOU WANT TO RISK IT SPILLING & POTENTIALLY HARMING YOUR PETS OR CHILDREN. The bottle is the cheapest thing Ive ever seen & there is no company name on it & ingredients are very difficult to read or see. When it leaked in the bag & I noticed when I got home because the cap was faulty & it a fourth of bottle ended up on floor.... long story short, I had to call the poison control line for animals & get a referal to take my dog to emerge. The toxicologist couldn't look up product & I sent pictures of the ingredients & front & back of the bottle & they couldn't even really determine the percentages of chemicals, etc... $500 dollars after going to the animal hospital, etc... I did my shopping at dollartree because my house was being renovated & I had to spend time at a friend's house. I told the friend I would clean up. I bought some cleaning products from Dollar Tree, which I don't usually go to but the store was in the area. Even if I saved money from the actual product being cheap, it definitely isn't worth the risk of animals and kids being able to get into it so easily because of defective bottles.
HIGHLY REGRET SHOPPING HERE & I won't be returning because of that traumatizing & scary experience. My dog is okay, thankfully..
Just hoping people who see this post won't buy this product! I called manager but they said they can't determine/control what products they stock & will talk to head office. (PS I normally only use natural/non harmful cleaning products, but the one time I shop at this store in a very long time & this happens before I could even use the product even! What a nightmare! I wouldn't shop here again or ever buy cheap cleaning products especially if you have kids or pets!)

Great staff and great variety of items. I work close so it's the best place to grab a quick snack or beverage or maybe even a birthday card and gift wrap.

Beautiful Cafe in an original historic Brick Building. Lots of atmosphere and vibe. There are different rooms that each have their own feel plus a nice cozy patio 😊

Nestled in the heart of Edmonton's river valley, Little Brick is a cozy and visually stunning café that offers a unique and welcoming ambiance. With a delightful combination of rustic charm and modern aesthetics, this café is a true hidden gem that captures the essence of a perfect hangout spot.

Upon stepping inside, I was immediately captivated by the enchanting atmosphere that Little Brick exudes. The eclectic furnishings, exposed brick walls, and warm lighting create an inviting and comforting environment that makes you want to settle in and savor the moment. The outside patio is equally enchanting and a wonderful hangout place for those with furry friends.

One of the highlights of my visit to Little Brick was their delectable bagel and London fog. The bagel was freshly baked, boasting a perfectly chewy texture and a golden, slightly crispy crust. It was topped with a generous amount of flavorful cream cheese, satisfying every bite. The London fog, a classic British beverage, was expertly crafted with a harmonious blend of velvety steamed milk, aromatic Earl Grey tea, and a hint of vanilla, creating a comforting and soothing experience.

While the food and drink at Little Brick were undeniably delightful, one minor disappointment was the limited availability of pastries. I arrived a few hours after opening, only to find that all of the pastries had already sold out. It would have been wonderful to have a wider selection to pair with my beverages. However, this does demonstrate the popularity of their pastries, indicating their quality and desirability.

It was the best place in Edmonton for the eggs Benny. Unfortunately it's not anymore. Last couple of orders the eggs were overcooked, almost hard-boiled. So sad... But coffee is still good and the staff are friendly. It's a nice and cozy dog-friendly place, I really enjoy being here. Hope they can make that amazing yolk-running eggs again!

i had a very unpleasant experience today. the manager at this store is very disrespectful and followed me around the whole time i shopped. stay clear of the older managers path, she has a wicked wrath. will not be coming back.
Place is not too busy when I was there. The Hot Wheels they have are a bit more expensive than Walmart. This is a good place to get snacks and nail clippers. Birthday cards are cheap, however, it’s always the same ones. They should really stock some different cards so people can go back for new ones.

This self checkout is getting out of hand. I don’t work here, why am I doing the work? I brought MY OWN REUSABLE BAGS and you can’t even start scanning until an employee comes, logs in and verifies. What is the point? Then when you fill the first bag and add another, you have to find someone in the store and repeat. When I questioned the employee, I got the “I just work here” line. Dollarama, you need to step up your customer service game. Nobody to be found at the cash area. AND I apparently inconvenienced them by needing someone to come up. Didn’t even say a word to me.

🤩 so delicious! Peaceful surroundings in the middle of the city. They have tent and patio seating, as well as inside the building.

Cappuccino was great and the earl grey tea in the London fog was definitely a star. We had the breakfast sandwich with potatoes and pulled pork sandwich. Everything was delicious and home style. The buns were soft and flaky, paired really well with the fillings. 5/5 stars experience!

Giant Tiger is a pretty good store. They sell many things including a limited number of groceries. I find the pricing good and sometimes you can find an exceptional deal. I like this store for certain groceries and Sundry products, it's worth the drive to Acton.

This store has everything including an awesome selection of helium balloons! They have a really good price for their helium balloons too! The staff is really friendly and helpful. They are always available for help or questions and never busy to go the extra mile. Since finding out about their awesome selection I don’t go to any other dollar store. This is a great go to place for kids birthday party needs and they have pretty much most of what other dollar stores have but everything here is $1.25 - everything!
Be sure to check and try what you buy , cause what did I buy it was a used dirty not working electronic , the other electronic I bought was good like new but also not working, you pay less but all garbage, maybe they got product from recycling and re-sell .
Not worth the visit even drink expier more than one year , watch your health , again do not buy before you try cause no return or credit or money back your money in and never out not worth it at all , save your money and your health .

My dollar tree here in Trenton, Ontario is amazing. The store is always clean, the shelves are always being stocked and the staff is there to help you with help or advice anytime you ask for it. And never have I ever felt like I am a bother to them. The store manager, always has time to say hello to you and is there for any help or questions you might have. Thank you Dollar Tree for all you do in my store and to each of you working there...each one of you are truly awesome.

Being a loyal customer, no respect from cashier that's shame. Well now onwards I will go to dollarama or barging club. Cashier thinks she knows about virus more than me. So she forcing me like boss . I entered the business and I needed few things so it was quick in and out. I would take small card or something. But there was no cart or no one to say hello . So I bought the few things I need to and go to cashier. And here you find this boss asked me take a cart next time. I said I dont see here. Then she said i sneaked in . Really ?use proper language. First things you should know about customers is customer service. I rather to go to self checkout instead of this uneducated cashier .sad.

Manager was very rude. Staff otherwise are nice, but will be driving to Belleville or Cobourg as I will not support a manager who yells at customers. Shame on him... maybe it's time for management change.

When you go to the Dollar Tree, you expect to purchase disposable items. But the manager is the one who should be disposed of. The staff clearly dislike him, as do most customers, I am willing to make the trip to the Belleville Dollar Tree, just to ensure a more pleasant shopping experience, and I do not want to give him any of my money! I would go to Toronto instead of here, Tony is a horrible person and has a weird obsession with everyone leaving their bags with him, he thinks everyone is stealing everything, he even blocked off the back door for a while(which is illegal) because he needs to see everyone going in and out. Terrible person, and deserves to have his store shut down. Will never be shopping here EVER again, that's a promise. I also heard Tony likes to unnecessarily ban people, he should be the one banned.
Great place for quick trips. Lots of stock and a clean store. Lines can get long but they do move fairly quickly. Better prices for virtually the same products if you look hard enough. Dollarama is constant with keeping their shelves stocked and items well displayed

Was at the dollar tree today in Trenton and asked them to blow up a number 5 balloon that I have brought with me for they didn't have one in the store. So now my granddaughter's 5th birthday balloon sits on floor instead of floating with her other balloon that I bought in there store. Very upset with store's quality of customers satisfaction.

Centrally located in downtown Trenton. At this time everything is $1.25. It has all the usual items you expect to find at a dollar store and a few items that I could not find elsewhere. The personnel is pleasant and helpfull.

I am an avid shopper of the Trenton Dollar Tree, however, I will NO LONGER be supporting this business. Mel is a disrespectful cashier. I was in line, waiting to be served, as an elderly gentleman was in front of me. He had maybe 5 items. I heard “Really?? I have to call my supervisor to approve this now!!” with sighs of frustration and anger from the cashier, because the gentleman had forgotten his wallet. How inconsiderate as staff. I have more respect for our seniors than this. I think there would have been a better solution to this, perhaps holding his items while he ran to the car, or telling him he can stop back and pick up any time. Expressing anger due to customer actions is WRONG! Customers are to be treated with respect! Mel thought it was appropriate to express his own anger, and annoyance to me, another customer once the gentleman left. This was so unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable, and unwelcomed in the store.

The store itself has a lot of cute little items and they keep the shelves well stocked. Can't beat the prices. However, I have not found customer service to be the greatest. At my last visit I walked up to the checkout and no one was there so I rang the bell, then I hear someone behind the shelf give out a huge huff and someone named "chris" marched up to the cash, doesn't even acknowledge me. He just grabs my items and rings them through and asks for my money and that's it. Maybe it's just me but I always thought serving customers was a part of your job in customer service, but I've been wrong before.
