| - Dollar tree is the perfect place for when you're looking for something in which quality is not an issue.
Atmosphere - Busy, packed with stuff...but still organized and clean.
Service - a, yes, a friendly and helpful employee, as I believe there is only one person working at a time.
Stuff - I think places like the Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and Big Lots are good for specific items. Finding out what those items are will greatly improve upon your shopping experience at any of these establishments. Based on having visited a Big Lots before, and now a Dollar Tree, I find I like the former better. To me Dollar tree has more off brands (i.e. no name Chinese produced knockoffs) where as at Big Lots you are more likely to find named brand items.
I did find a few things that Dollar Tree seems to excel at besides cheap party supplies...movie candy (e.g. Lemonheads, Boston Baked Beans, Sour Patch Kids). They pretty much have a whole isle devoted to it. Another item is containers (e.g. small plastic baskets) of almost any size.
Overall - If you are looking for sweets, party supplies, or a cheap, poorly casted, wrench this is the place for you.
