| - I hate dollar stores. My ideal neighborhood world not include any (or title loan stores, or Goodwill, but I digress). I freely admit I like more upscale places to shop. I also have a feeling that the store's presence (along with the numerous ugly For Lease banners in the Palo Verde strip center) is preventing the neighborhood from gentrifying as fast as it should be.
However, even if your product and clientele aren't upscale, you still NEVER have an excuse to be foul mouthed. The sketchy looking male cashier needs to work in the stock room away from customers if he's going to drop swear words constantly. Especially when the customers behind me includes young children! Yes, the two women he helped before me bought a disgusting amount of product (I've never seen someone blow $100 at a dollar store), but you need to at least use substitution words when you're venting.
Why did I come here in the first place? Well, I've heard it was "very clean and nice" for a dollar store, and it wasn't too bad. They had a lot more merchandise than I expected, and had private label goods from Target and Kroger. I picked up a pack of tissue paper for $1 and change, because I just could not bring myself to spend $3 for TWO SHEETS of "artisan" tissue paper at Cost Plus World Market. It's not great quality (the colors are "muddy" and randomly assorted), but I managed to pull everything together nicely.
Would I go back? If I needed something low quality and cheap, like party favors, sure. It's never going to be a go-to place for me though.
