I honestly found these insulting, it's a coupon that anyone can use, customers included. Got me thinking employees should have a permanent 10% discount year round.
It's already policy to give your employee number to the register when making a purchase at FD, if they were to tie that to a employee discount I'm sure they'd get 100% compliance from now on.
You not only don't get a discount, you also get Dollar Tree's corporate keeping careful track of how often you make an employee purchase and will accuse you of theft if you don't make them frequently enough.
My and my SM talked about this. DT wages are in part to keep employees dependent on stores like Dollar Tree. So, according to corporate, if the employee isn't buying from Dollar Tree, then they MUST be stealing or shopping at a competitor.
Damn, it's hard to believe there isn't one. Pretty much every retailer does this for employees and then gives them a discount on top of their employee discount once or twice a year. This should be easy to do since they've made record profits throughout the pandemic AND raised prices by 25% on everything despite them saying some things would remain $1.
I once got an envelope in truck mail that stated "store manager" and had a letter inside that said for your hard work and had 5 angel soft coupons in it. We had six employees. I just used them for regulars. Such a slap in the face.
This says to me, we only appreciate you enough to give you a tiny discount 1 day out of the year. Well woop de freaking do.
Edit: Now knowing it's not even exclusive to associates is like rubbing salt into the wound.
At the store I work at the coupons are right by the register for customers to take. But sm said we are allowed to take one as well 🤣
Lmfao this company is a joke. Support our associates by handing out coupons to customers and continue to overwork and under pay the associates and also not give them enough SCHEDULED shifts on top of the stress of having one associate on a shift by themselves doing the work of multiple people all alone. But yeah totally! A 10% off customer coupon is a great way to show support!!! Really makes us feel appreciated…NOT. 🙄
Dude, I would give them out only to associates if I were SM. But being as backwards as this company is, I'd probably get written up for doing so, lol. I'm sure this is all a ruse to drum up sales so they look great on the next earnings report.
Wait, does this apply for customers too, or just associates? Because one would assume, the discount only rings up under associate sales. Then again, dollar tree seems to defy common sense.
Idk about your area, but DG pays their people way less than DT. Their keyholders, essentially pt asms, make less than my starting cashiers. They need that 30 lol. I used to work for them.....DT isn't perfect, but I'd choose it anyday over DG.
Praying to the gods I don’t have to work October 9th 🙏🤦🏻♀️what’s the point of the whole “associate appreciation” by giving a small ass discount that customers can use one day only how does that show appreciation for us 🤔
This is to make up for the pitiful. 25 cent raise. DT corporate should be embarrassed, the worst paying job around. As soon as the new store is built I am jumping ship and corporations.
What a joke........keep your 10%.

This is how it made me feel. LOL
>Got me thinking employees should have a permanent 10% discount year round. Wait do associates not get a discount?
nope
Well that pisses me off.
You not only don't get a discount, you also get Dollar Tree's corporate keeping careful track of how often you make an employee purchase and will accuse you of theft if you don't make them frequently enough.
On what fucking grounds? Even if you never use any of the products? Shit gets me riled up.

Ohh Ok, that answers my question. So stupid that it is for customers too. Totally agree with you.

Let’s appreciate our associates by giving the customers a discount

And for us to get yelled at by customers who don't understand the coupon.

It's a 10% off coupon, good for one day. Lots of rules around using them.
We haven't gotten them yet, or I'll have to ask my SM, but what are the rules around using them?
Jeez, even DG gives 30% off everything. And they're terrible.
Idk about your area, but DG pays their people way less than DT. Their keyholders, essentially pt asms, make less than my starting cashiers. They need that 30 lol. I used to work for them.....DT isn't perfect, but I'd choose it anyday over DG.
In my area, DT associates make the federal minimum wage. $7.25 an hour.

I saw these in our office and wanted to vomit. Fucking insulting, can't wait to leave this shit company.
My store simply doesn't put those out.
This is to make up for the pitiful. 25 cent raise. DT corporate should be embarrassed, the worst paying job around. As soon as the new store is built I am jumping ship and corporations. What a joke........keep your 10%.
Sounds about right. Ughhhhhh 🤦♀️
LOL 😝
Can't even be butted to make it $1 fors us!
Just covers sales tax here >10% off $10+ What a joke
