BEWARE of the female employees at the dollar tree store location on Pulaski near Wilson. I wasn't…read moreaware that there's a time limit for browsing and shopping at that location. They get very sharky around you if you're there for more than one hour. especially the Spanish chunky chick with long hair. she has a very serious demeanor. never smiles. I noticed after a while past the one hour browsing and shopping looking, she would creep up in the same aisle I was at pretending to stock and check items at the same time spying on me. very creepy. I didn't have a basket so had to hold a few items in my hands and forearm. The other heavy set AA female employee is just as leery and creepy. It's very insulting, uncomfortable and off putting to assume someone is taking things. It is not worth my time to cater to a location with suspicious sharky employees. The other locations never shark me. very disappointed with this location, it's big bright and spacious. but it is not worth being there over 30 minutes. I tend to linger a bit longer when I haven't been at a certain location in a long while. but it is not worth it at this location unfortunately. :/ my favorite employee is not there anymore :( and she was the very nicest cheerful one, made me smile. I think I see why she's not still there. probably had to tolerate the creepy other women coworkers. zero stars for employee demeanor, lack of confidence in innocent customers.

I like the store it has a lot of variety. I came here to get a shampoo and conditioner and I was…read morewith my 2 year old niece. We end up getting snacks and some of the konjac jelly juice. I was also excited as they carry the brand of lipstick I like. I put the different color of lipstick on the back of my hand until I found the color I like. Of course I cleaned my hand using the cotton swab and make-up remover. I end up buying more $100 something worth of snacks (including the shampoo and conditioner I came there originally). The girl who checked me out doesn't have a good customer service. I asked if they have trash and she said yes, so I handed over the cotton ball. And she pointed me to the end of the counter. I said, ok, so I walked there with my cart as I put my 2 year old niece on the cart. I thought she was done charging but I didn't realize that there are 2 more konjac jelly on the side of the cart and I didn't see it because my 2 year old niece was sitting on the cart. It was an honest mistake. Anyways I handed it over to her and saw her roll her eyes. I just keep my cool. I asked for an extra small bag so that I can put my niece snacks that we purchased. The girl said it's 10 cents. Girl, I just got more than $100 worth of stuff and you can't give me an extra bag? I've been in the store more than 10 times and didn't know that they charge the bags. Anyways I end up giving her $50 as that's the only cash I have. Most of the emplyees are nice but the girl in the counter yesterday sucks. I'm giving it 2 star due to the other employee who is more considerate and even open the door as me and my niece walked out the store. 1 star for having variety of stuff, but I can go to Park to Shop, Mitsuwa, or H-mart for a lesser price.

Location: 5004 N Broadway, Chicago, IL 60640 Date/Time: May…read more7, 2026, Thursday at 2:34 PM I was looking at the display and asked one of the sales associates, who was the only employee on the floor behind the register, if one of the Kirby items on display was for sale. I asked politely. She did not give me a clear answer and barely said anything before going back behind the register and looking at random items. She seemed to have an attitude the entire time based on her body language. When she returned to the register, I assumed she might be trying to find information about the display item. I ended up standing there for about five minutes waiting for a response, but nothing was said. I was not being rude, and I did not talk back. Before I opened the exit door, I simply said in a calm voice, "I don't know why you're giving me an attitude," because I was frustrated but still calm. She then looked at me and told me to "get out" aggressively and said that I did not need to mumble my words so loudly while other customers were still shopping. She also claimed she was the manager on duty. She called the store manager, or whoever was in charge, and told them I was being rude and obnoxious, which is not true. I hope they review the security cameras and any available audio so it can be clear what actually happened. I understand that working in customer service can be stressful, as I also work in customer service. However, it is not my responsibility to deal with whatever may be going on in someone's personal life or behind the scenes. I was simply there to shop. I shopped here last month, and they have my information on file. I only asked a simple question, but I never received a clear answer. I was repeatedly told, "Oh, I can't help you with that." I was confused because the last time I visited, I was able to purchase a display item of a panda. That was last month, and a different associate, a female employee, helped me. She was very kind and helpful and took her time to find the right box for it. But this current employee was an African American woman with black braided hair all black clothing about 5'4. Her tone and behavior suggested she may have been having a bad day, and I understand that. However, I also work in customer service, and I would not speak to customers that way or dismiss them when they ask questions or request to speak to a manager. I was honestly shocked, so I simply walked away. I could have said more, but I decided it wasn't worth it. This isn't the end I'm going to file a complaint... if u are a manager on duty do you talk to your employees like this? Anyway I would not shop at this location anymore...

Advance Distributors is on the SE corner of Pulaski Ave & Argyle across the parking lot from Aldi…read more My wife is a Filipina and anyone who knows Filipinos know about the Balikbayan Box that they like to send or bring home loaded up with American items that are coveted in the Philippines. Her brother Ed lives in Quezon City w/his daughter and 3 grandkids. 2 girls and 1 boy. My wife calls frequently to check up and see how he's doing (I mean even if there was a problem he wouldn't tell her). So anyway she was talking to him last night to see how he's doing and if there were any specific items that he needed. The 7 year old granddaughter was asked if she wanted anything. She doesn't want anything like a Barbie doll she wants an i phone X. Yeah right let's get her a $1000 i phone X. Maybe one for her sister too lol. We recently found out after years of driving by that it is open to the public. This coupled by our plans to go to the Philippines early next year we ventured into the building that houses Advance Distributors to see if there was anything we could find. Upon entering we found row after row of merchandise some of value and others not so much (kind of like a giant flea market). I met one the owners Vijay who told me they have been there since 1974. It was originally owned by his father and now he & his brother run Advance Distributers. He told me he would give me a discount, but much of the discount is volume driven and I didn't need to buy more of certain items. Unfortunately there wasn't much that we needed from the store & many of the items that were name brand items I have bought when on sale at other stores at lower prices.

If that sounds like you, this is the place for you. That's doubly so if you want both absurd and designer fragrances at discounted prices. Once in a while, things cost the same as at a regular store (hello, seasonal candy), but generally these are Five Below prices. Some things are sold in bulk for even more savings--nag champa super hit is a steal here! I like to come here for packing and mailing supplies. Never spend $5 for a roll of packing tape again! Bubble mailers of all sizes are $1.50 for two! These are the exact same things you'd buy at the UPS store but without the steep markup. The staff is a whole lot friendlier, too. It's also good for coloring books--so cheap, and some kids just go right through them. Now, the downside. They sell out of things fairly often. The place is not beautiful. You get dollar store quality for many items with dollar store prices. There's often only one type of a given item, so if you don't like the color on hand, tough cookies. It's close to both the Lawrence and Pulaski buses, but not the train or bike racks, and parking a car can be a pain. Keep your expectations low and your mind open to have the best possible shopping experience here.

I never really looked into it before but I thought Five Below was maybe a lower end clothing store lol. Anyway, it's basically an a-ok dollar store with items priced nominally up to $5. It's a fine store for such and they have a wide variety of items. They may not have the quality of a Hello Tokyo or a Daiso but you get more for your discount dollars here it appears. The kiddos had plenty of fun items to pick from to stay under their $5 budget and they enjoyed their shopping here. My only critique is that many items showed a scan code but no specific price except a sign saying less than $5. I had to ask the friendly and helpful attendant several times what an item's price was and most items we picked were $3.50 or $4 but it would be helpful to show an exact price if possible. I would recommend any discount shoppers check out this a-ok franchise to see if there's a consumer fit for themselves.
