That alone is worth the membership. I also got their CC with the cash back and will be taking advantage of the plethora of discounts and cash back deals they have. Won't take much to get back the membership cost, keep my dry goods stocked, and my pantries and freezer full. But the best part of the experience was Josie at the membership desk. She was pure joy. She was friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and just provided the perfect guest experience. Everyone that works in customer service should have to shadow Josie for a day to learn what customer service should be. As a long time hospitality executive, someone who has written multiple training manuals and have given talks all over North America on service delivery, I know good customer service. Josie is a sterling example.

Last year I went to the store as well and purchased at least $700 in gifts, same with this year. I just have to tell you that Heather the manager has always been helpful. She has the girls go to the back and look for items I need for the gifts and opens up an extra register so all the items could be rang up and not to hold up any other customers. Today Jene helped me out with getting the items that I needed. She went through lots of boxes to find the small dolls, accessories for the dolls, toothbrushes, nylon backpacks. Alice help me as well bringing up the items and helping me carry stuff to the car. They all took turns helping me out. I cannot say enough, how helpful these ladies are and kind. They do it with a smile and with a lot of patience. I go to at least three difffernt dollar tree stores because it's a lot of different items that I need. The South Tamiami Trail store is my favorite, mostly because everyone is so great.

Why has nobody posted a review of this place before??? Five Below as a store is too good to leave…read moreno review, so here are some thoughts I've shared on other locations. As a chain, it's a neat concept. This isn't a dollar store that has things way over a dollar, everything here truly is $5 or less. I really like that this is the only discount chain, that I am aware of, that has fitness items. Yoga mats, balance boards, hand weights and many of the apparel and accessories that go with it. That's neat and it's a cheap way to try out a new activity without dropping a lot of cash in case you hate it. They even have skateboards there! Every time I've gone into a location, I've badly wanted to buy the squares to build your own fitness floor. I have no idea why, I wouldn't use it, but I want it, lol. I see this chain as a healthy mix of a place to get last minute items you forgot about (phone chargers, birthday cards, Tupperware, games to keep the kids busy) and a place that gives you ideas on things you didn't realize you needed (lots of storage options, home décor, nifty gadgets like lights for dark corners, a variety of travel accessories). Now, how does this location stack up? Well, less shelves are full of merchandise here. Our visit was on a weekday morning, so that might have been a one off, but as I was looking for something I had previously purchased at another location, it really caught my attention. However, the staff here was really friendly and funny at the register, which is more engagement than I encounter at other locations, so they balance out for my overall Five Below expected experience. It's a cool place to check out, especially if you are visiting Sarasota and realized you forgot small items back home. This way you can get the items you need and have plenty left to act like a tourist (for me that means: try more food)!

You really have to pay attention to what you're doing and going through, and potentially going to buy. For example, Taped up boxes may not be what they seem, so you have to ask to open them (you can't open them yourself. There's a station you take it to and an employee inboxes it). Hotbins has specific dollar days where on Saturday "everything you buy is ten dollars an item" and Wednesday is "everything you buy is two dollars an item". Put 10 items in your cart (they have shopping carts and the Ikea big blue bag for your stuff) on a Friday, you're walking out the door paying $120 plus tax. There are items "priced as marked" and it can range in product. For instance, smart device charging cables were marked as $6 a cable (USB-C to Lightning, USB to Lightning, USB-C to USB, old style USB to whatever. Charging bricks I think were $6 too). There are bigger items marked as more or less than that days' discount (clothes, fragrances). I didn't catch the pricing on those, as it wasn't something I went over to look at. One challenge is, this store has stuff that is readily available at the dollar store (for example, I saw a twelve pack of Elmers Glue Sticks unopened. Going in on Saturday, I wasn't about to buy that for $10 when the Dollar Tree has the same package for 1.25 plus tax). Why spend over five dollars on a single item that you know you can get for a lower cost at another store and not on a discount? Yes, HotBins is a store of returns: Amazon, Target, Costco, etc. So it's possible twelve or ten dollars is well worth the expenditure if it's a big ticket item (an Amazon Echo Show holder for less than retail price? Sure, if you already have the Echo Show and want the holder), but even at the two dollar mark on Wednesday, there is still a possibility of paying more for the item than necessary. Again, you might be able to get a single $100 retail item for at least 75% off or more. So if it's something huge, you're getting a deal. BUT.. by mid week, it's slim pickings - store is closed on Thursday to restock the bins as they're open Friday to Wednesday. To reiterate the taping of the bosses: majority of the items are sealed and resealed. You must go to customer service to ask to see what it is, as the box description may not always match the item. The workers are more than happy to assist, and ask you don't open the boxes yourselves. If it's not something you want, they will repackage the item and put it back in a bin for someone else to pick up and ask. Overall, the store was clean and well lit. Music was on and not completely loud or in your face. Unfortunately I don't think I'd be back as I found it to be not a really great deal on the day I went.

I haven't been in awhile but love the new layout of the store. Seems like it was needed to fit all the products and to make the aisles more easily accessible. The line for sandwiches was 5 people deep, lines at all the checkout counters as well. Bought fresh peaches, cucumbers, potatoes, and more. Rave: do NOT leave the store with one of the new blueberry handpies. This is probably the best handpie I've ever had. I popped it in the airfryer and it came out so flaky and gooey. Not insanely sweet either. Wish I bought more of them. Ate it too quickly to get a photo so I looked one up, it's wrapped in parchment paper and in a basket next to the donuts.

If I had to choose something to change, I would choose a different person to do the samples in the store-instead of the older man.

But after numerous occasions of rudeness, we literally walk around the sampling station just to avoid any rude encounters with him. Still giving the store 5 stars because it's the best place.

We had the receipt, but my dad accidentally forgot to bring one of the parts that belonged with the headphones. We completely understood that the return couldn't be processed without everything, and my dad even offered to drive the 2 minutes back home to get it. What bothered us wasn't the policy, it was the way we were treated. The employee immediately started making comments that made us feel like we were doing something shady because there wasn't a sticker on the box, even though we had the original receipt and were simply trying to make a return. After my dad came back with the missing item, another employee helped us, but the experience didn't get any better. She was rude, barely acknowledged us, and when we decided to buy a shirt while we were there, she didn't communicate what she was doing. We stood there waiting to pay, and when I asked if we could pay for the shirt, she told us it had already been paid for using the card from the return. She never explained that beforehand or asked if that was how we wanted to apply the refund. The entire experience left us feeling judged and unwelcome. I understand employees have to follow store policies and prevent fraud, but there's a respectful way to treat customers. We did everything we could to cooperate, and unfortunately the customer service we received was disappointing. They need to stop giving jobs to this rude, old people.

I do know they have sales for specific color tags, but those are very few and far between. Even then, a 50 or 75% off price is what the item should have originally been marked for.

All other Publix stores go above and beyond to provide good customer service. Upon walking into the store with my receipt and photos of the rotten seafood, EMILY, who was at the Customer Service counter, immediately had an unfriendly expression and was again questioning me like I was a child, I am a 58-year-old businesswoman. Again, NO APOLOGY, just questioning my integrity and reluctantly giving me a credit. I expected customer service and gave this store 2 chances to do so. DO NOT SHOP AT THIS STORE!!!
