Issue #1.
I was a little T-O-ed to find out that The Dollar Tree sells items for MORE THAN A DOLLAR. What? Huh? That's bogus! They are still in whole dollar denominations, like $2, $3, $4, but that's BS. That's misleading. Everything should be a dollar. I'm told that some things are 2-for-$1 or 4-for-$1. That's fine. Less than a dollar is okay, but over a dollar is not. I think there is a law against that. Or at least there should be.
Issue #2.
If everything in The Dollar Tree is a denomination of a whole dollar, do they keep change in the cash register? Theoretically, they don't need any coins. Are the coin slots just kept empty? Do they make special register trays for "dollar stores" that don't include coin trays? What about the 99-cent stores--do they have absurdly large penny trays? If it is a regular cash register tray, are the tellers allowed to keep other things in those slots? Personally, I think they'd be perfect for candy. Great way to have a little snack in between breaks, you know. Like Skittles or MNM's. Or Neccos! Neccos even look kind of like coins! Or maybe even dog treats (not for the teller, but for a customers dog). The options seem endless.
I might have to ask my friend, Bryan, about these issues. He used to work at "The Tree." I might also ask if employees referred to it as "The Tree."

i was just there today matt and some how it came out to $3.55, it think its because i bought a soda that was 2 fo 1 and I only bought 1 and it cost .55 thats how they get you
Can anyone confirm that they have coins in their registers? And more importantly, candy???
ummm I've worhed at the tree 4 over a year here in Ma.. We have something called TAXES!!!! thus, the $1 item is actually $1.05 - unless it's food or clothing - then there are no taxes.
Maybe your state charges NO sales tax? If so - I'm moving there!!!
LOL
just ran across your little blog here and noticed your comment on why they have coins (specifically dollar tree). the registers do have coins, i've shopped at numerous dollar tree stores on multiple occasions. the reason why they have coins is because of TAX. unless you buy food, items are TAXED just like every other place in the US (not including native american reservations of course whom are exempt)... that is just common sense man. also i have never seen any items priced at more than a dollar. ever. this would be dollar general and family dollar, whom do not claim the mantra "everything's a dollar".
Stacyrocha is smart. The rest of you are retarded. k thanks.
Lol, I've worked at a Dollar Tree in WA State for about a year now and we have absolutely nothing over a dollar. And of course there's change in our registers...
*sigh* I work at a d\Dollar Tree in Oregon, we sell candy for like 59 cents and there is a sales tax on soda. Athough, I would like to add that it's a somewhat shitty place to work. I hate when assholes come through my line and blame me for the store not having what they wanted and crap like that. I don't get paid nearly enough.
Nothing at the dollar tree is over 1 dollar. We are the dollar tree not the dollar general where everything is generally 1 dollar!!!
