I love this store! Yes it's a dollar but tin foil is tin foil. There's so much to buy and always well stocked. Yes you need to bring a quarter to use a cart but if you return as you should, you get your quarter back. And yes always need a cart. It's like going to Target or Costco. You intend on buying one thing and end up with twenty things. read more

This is purely based on customer service here. The workers that are ringing up people are just so plain rude! They start talking in Spanish about some random customer I don't know and basically just talking sh**. Please excuse the language. I was here with my mom and sister just trying to get some basic party decor and we had a cart full of stuff. So once at the register I told my mom to put the cart away since I got a bag and my mom was taking the cart outside since the inside didn't have a designated area to put the cart. Outside however had a place to put your cart and one of the girls didn't realize I was with them and started talking sh** about how there wasn't even anything in the cart and why was "she" referring to my mom taking the cart outside..... don't you have better stuff to do?! Never ever returning here again or any other dollar store. Rather go to party city or something. I rather spend more money and receive better customer service. I'm livid. I did respond back and let her know why my mom was doing what she was doing like don't try to act all smart. read more

Needed a few things, of course some school stuff. This dollar tree is ok, but so messy compared to the others I've been too. Plus mostly everything is out of stock, like really.. this is one of the reasons why I don't come to this one so much. Plus most of the employees, when you ask a question they look at you super confused. Like seriously. read more

Dollar Tree - Much needed - Discount Store Near Me - Union City, California

I am a Dollar Tree addict,lol. I've never been 5o this Location, but since ALL the other Dollar tree stores have been deciding they are gonna close early(whenever they want to even they store hours are clearly listed online and on doors, I went to the Union City store on decoto, who actually was open when they were supposed to be. It's a great Dollar tree plus what made it more enjoyable was that the employees (3woman),were so nice,funny n helpful, which is unheard of at Dollar tree stores. I will never go to another location again, even though I live in Hayward, it's worth it to drive 10 extra minutes for such good service! read more

I don't think I've ever been to a dollar store that 1) isn't ghetto, 2) doesn't smell funky, and 3) isn't understaffed. I don't come here expecting the aisles to be clear, the shelves to be organized, the line to be short, etc. That being said, here are just some of the reasons I come here: * 100-count SCENTED diaper disposal bags * kitchen drawstring garbage bags * some spices, like cinnamon (which can be super expensive) * children's board books * party favors and supplies * 50cent greeting cards (you know how pricey cards are these days?) * other tsotkes I never knew I needed. Plus, I do think this specific dollar store is better stocked than others (not that I've been to that many). :) read more

the Dollar Tree looks big from the outside but feels small and cramped inside. another negative was the muggy ambience and only 1 cashier on duty. buys: -reading glases(1) -smith's apple cough drops. notes: -halloween is in the air -$1 supplies here. read more

Sometimes when I'm in need of something, I often overlook dollar stores as a legit option. Storage containers, kitchen nik-nacs, cleaning equipments can be found and all for a buck, so replacing such cheapish items aren't as painful. I unexpectedly found this place useful about a week ago, when I was hosting a family picnic. Instead of paper plates, I ended up finding these cool mini-baskets. I lined them with sandwich paper and everybody got their own basket. And I will be able to re-use them someday, so plus for that! Oh and while in line to check out, I noticed some pregnancy test kits discounted to a buck : / Don't ever say that I was never useful. read more

Wow I didn't know there was a generic brand for Orange Glo... or Lay's potato chips... or powerade, no wait that's real. Pretty much everything in here is $1.00 and they have a really broad selection of things that families would really appreciate. Cards, tons of party favors and decor for graduation, birthdays, and even weddings. Inflated balloons here too. On top of that there are the dried food items, cleaners, paper items like towels, toilet paper, and facial tissues. Baskets. School supplies, random coloring and drawing books to get hyper kids to slow down in the middle of summer. I can see how this could be a really cost-saving stop for a family. But luckily I don't have kids right now. Just be careful because the aisles are crowded and packed with items. Navigating the place can be difficult. read more

Yowza! It's messy, but it's still excellent. My daughter saw the lady inflating mylar balloons, so we bought one of those. Yes, it's a dollar. I saw a slew of pretty gift bags, some about 3 feet tall. Yes, it's a dollar. How about 702 reward stickers for kids? Yes, it's a dollar. In this day when dollar stores charge more than a dollar, you need to come to Dollar Tree, where they live up to their name. I went two days before Christmas, and there was no line. The checker was friendly too. I asked him about the single-serve wine bottles which were two for a dollar. His response was that it's good, but be prepared for a jaw-clenching first sip. Ah, honesty. read more

There is no need to ask for a price check here. EVERYTHING COSTS ONE DOLLAR. It blows my mind what you can find here for a dollar. My friend Ken and I scanned through this entire store and picked up random things, exclaiming, "How much is this? NO WAY!!!!" Christmas decorations. Wrapping paper. Candy. Groceries? Stainless steel cutlery. House cleaning supplies. We were just killing time, and the line was long so we didn't buy the candy we had picked up. This place is great! However, I wouldn't trust perishable groceries a dollar. Sorry. read more

The Assistant manager is loud rude and very vulgar you can hear her all through the store using the F word every other second and complaining about customers. Very offensive. read more

Everything here is $1 - what do you expect? You can find some real gems, but a lot of the merchandise is pretty cheap. I must say, this location is always clean, and the shelves are fairly neat. Things I've learned to avoid: coffee, creamer, anything with a battery. Check expiration dates! read more

When I'm being thrifty and cheap, I go to you for convenience... But you've got the worst stock of $ merchandise, and your aisles are always messy... Plus, all the most ghetto people in Union City go to you (C'mon, lady!! Quit harrassing the cashier to lower down the price of that figurine----It's a f*ckin' dollar store!!!!! #$%^@$).... Your lines are always long (see above)... I'd rather go to the ones in Newark! read more

I honestly only come here to buy cards, balloons, and party supplies (holiday items). They have a pretty good variety of these items for a cheap price and some of their items aren't even ghetto. I personally don't buy food from here because the last time I bought food from a dollar store, it expired so quickly and didn't taste as good. read more

This is not as big as the dollar store in Hayward, but it has the essentials that you need. Staff is also very helpful in helping locate items. read more

Questionable steak dinners, colorful balloons, and odd flavored candles are all staples of this dollar store. There are great deals here as well as booby-traps. Don't be fooled! A dollar here, a dollar there, and you'll be like the lady in front of me who spent $100. This place is a double edged sword. If you know what's good, you'll save money. If you don't, you'll end up with a house of junk. My top picks for this place is for their birthday balloons, kitchen utensils and supplies, and carpet spray. My avoid at all costs list includes frozen steak dinners, ball point pens, and toys. read more

Love this place! I bought tons of nostalgic DVDs, mostly cartoons, & all for a $1 each! I buy my nephew little toys here & coloring books since its so convenient & cheap to buy. ;D Another thing I like about this place is that I can get hair accessories (i.e. bobby pins) for, yes, $1.. aaaand, if you need some quick gift wrapping accessories come here. You can get all you need plus more without having to spend too much. They have a pretty good gift bag selection. There are some real special finds too.. so you have to grab them while you can! :) The reason why I give it 3 stars is 'cos the lines can get quick long & lengthy since they're understaffed sometimes. Plus, the store kinda has a weird, chemical smell. :P Fun Fact: I like to buy random gifts for friends here.. They have ceramic figurines. Once I gave my friend a nun. HA! ;D read more

OH MY GAWD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The day before turkey day I had to stop in and get some last minute stuff for this little pie party thing I was doing at the office. I WAS SOOOOO Irritated I stood in the LONGEST line for one of the 2 cashiers to get ballons made for a customer. When I asked for the manager to come out so I could complain he refused to open another register instead he went and helped with ballons and then opened another line and took the lady behind me ... and I was next in line I WAS SOOOO irritated. I will never ever ever if I can help it shop here again. read more

I like dollar trees to buy cheap, funny birthday presents for friends. Like a sparkly tiara and crown princess kit for my friend that just turned 24. Or fake lotto tickets that tell my friends they all won $10,000. HA! They also have super cheap holiday decoration which are always fun! read more

Dollas and christmas decor....excellent combination! I would not recommend getting any toiletries, medications, or personal items from the Dolla Tree. This tree o Dollas has many branches though so don't you fret. A branch for seasonal decor, a branch for snacks, another branch for greeting cards or cheap balloons, a branch for birthday parties and a branch for household items. p.s. you can buy items in bulk online now! yesssss perfect when you are planning an event or having a party! read more

There is a male cashier here with long blonde hair. He doesn't appear to be lucid and I almost got in a confusing confrontation with him, that was so stupid I can't even remember what happened. But I walked out of there vowing never to return. He was confused because the person before me left an item on the belt that actually, he wasn't paying attention enough to ring up, then thought it was mine, and when I tried to explain it didn't belong to me, that I had tried to tell him he was forgetting to ring up the item, he started doing weird stuff like playing dumb, "What? What do you mean? This isn't yours? What? Is this yours? Who's was it?" Admittedly, I was getting irritated because he was SO condescending to me as I was trying to explain that he wasn't paying attention so that item was the person's before me. It was unnecessarily long and irritable confrontation. I'm sure they won't miss my business. read more

Came to the store to get some balloons because it was a dollar no one can beat that. When I entered the manager as she stand by the entrance she was mad because someone didn't show up for their shift and was complaining she was tired. I didn't really care. So I went to where they have the balloons and was looking. I looked at some drawers because some where not pumped. So I looked. Then the manager she came up and told me "sir do not touch that you're not suppose to be touching any of those." In my shocked, I replied oh I'm sorry I didn't know." She replied, "well I'm telling you now so what did you need?" I replied, "I didn't know and why are you being rude?" She told me "well sir I'm not being rude. You're suppose to tell the cashiers for help and you can look up there." First of all if you want no one touching any of those where customers can easily touch. Please write employees only or write ask for assistance. Secondly, you don't have to blabber if someone doesn't show up and you're just standing there talking to other employees about it. Instead as a manager you need to help. Lastly you need to organize everything better this place is a mess full pf empty boxes and carts read more

Dear dollar store: Please hire more cashiers and fire the immature one with a snobby attitude. Actually, they all have attitudes. But the young new girl has the worst one - and doesn't know how to dress. I've had two unpleasant encounters with her. I no longer want to frequent this store just to avoid running into her. How did someone without any manners get hired in the first place??? Sadly, I've noticed that everyone working here seems gloomy and stressed out. The lines are always long and store is usually in disarray and crowded. There should be more than one register open but there never is! It takes so long to checkout and the cashiers are not friendly. I don't blame them because It's not a good environment or atmosphere for anyone to work in. The management here really needs to fix that problem!!! read more

Dollar Tree stores are a total gem for gift giving and party planning. For gift giving they have decent selection of wrapping paper but the best ones are the kraft or butcher paper style paper. Clear bags for gift baskets or even roll of clear wrap as well. Lots and lots of fabric ribbon to add that homey touch. Gift boxes are nice too with great color and sturdy weight. I don't check out food but this DT seem popular with the food sales. Amex friendly! read more

*sigh* It's a pity that this place was the scene at which that gross man tried to rape a 2-year old girl... who still wore diapers! What is this world coming to? Anyway, I like to come here when I'm waiting to be picked up after I get off Bart. It's just across the street at the really big plaza, so it's location is very convenient for people like me who need to kill time. Also, unlike many other dollar kind of stores, this place was fairly well kept and full of a great variety of things. Seriously, if you ever need anything, come here. I can almost assure you that you'll find what you need. I like coming here to buy little things that I can add to a gift that I'm already giving, whether it be a nice ribbon, some kind of accessory, etc. It's so much cheaper to come here than to drive all the way to Walmart. Another thing that I like to get here are random snacks for work. I work very close to a Walgreens, but if I were to seriously shop at Walgreens and stock up my snack cabinet, I can't even imagine how much money I'd be spending monthly. Here at Dollar Tree, I can spend $10 and get snacks to last me for the month! The section of the store that is more towards seasonal items is another favorite of mine. Don't go spending way too much money at other places like Target, Walmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens etc. Come here and get everything you need at such a low price! read more

Has great stuff ! I come here all the time but I honestly hate that there always 1 worker here as cashier. It's really annoying how I'm trying to buy one item and it takes 30 minutes or more read more

My boss and I were just raving about this place for like 45 minutes.. So I figured, hey.. why not rave about it on here! DUH. I tend to wander around this place on my lunch break.. Mostly because if I allot myself more time, I'll probably spend my entire paycheck here. This is THE spot to hit up for almost anything you may possibly need.. I am constantly here buying things for Parties: plastic cutlery, plates, table cloths, decorations (streamers/balloons), gift bags galore, greeting cards, wrapping paper, tissue paper, plastic champagne glasses. Arts and crafts: papers, stickers, ribbons, tape, glue, scissors, lots of candles, and picture frames Food: they have BUGLES here! YUM. And Fluffy Stuff cotton candy. Double YUM. Home: sponges, soap, toothpaste, floss, lotion, Tylenol, tissue, napkins, plates, cups, kitchen utensils, baking utensils, pet stuff, and storage stuff. I can go on forever. The place itself is pretty organized, considering. The staff is nice and friendly, although sometimes the lines take a little longer than you'd like.. and then you end up eying something and shoving that in your basket too. There are a few.. questionable customers here and there.. but its not a surprise, seeing where its located. Great idea for white elephant gift: whatever you min or max is, buy that amount of things @ the dollar store.. and put it all in a box. BEST GIFT EVER. This past Christmas I gave $20 worth of Dollar Tree supplies, including: lotion, Tylenol, Tupperware, flashlight, pedicure set, air fresheners.. etc. So worth it! read more

I took the survey, I called the store. I spoke to an assistant manager, I called the corporate store. Still nothing... read more

I love this dollar tree the most I live in the san leandro area but i work in Union city on decoto rd. On my lunch break i come herr to take a walk . Alot of options and nice things. Much better than the ones in my area read more

Wow, it seems everyone here was having a bad day and this wasn't even me having any interactions with them. I was just watching. Super rude. Other yelpers were right. We were just in the neighborhood. Love a good bargain, but forget it. read more

I came in here a few days ago and was talking to a customer in line. The customer pointed to a woman walking out the door without paying and merchandise in her pockets. Nobody working at this Dollar Tree even noticed it. read more

'( wait what is this??) thee employees have amother 1 that they use?? i had to ask for toilet paper & seat covers?? then the mani asked tried to shut me down!?? what?? i was persistant for my aunt as she's older & couldn't wait. read more

See all

1$ for anything in the store but be prepared to end up buying more than you expected and wait in line longer than you'd like. That's the hard part of this store, I don't go here for a quick in and out purchase because of the line but it IS nice to get things for so inexpensive. Also, the staff isn't very helpful, they have tons of work to do on their shift so they are task orientated not customer service. read more

This store was bigger than most of the dollar stores that I've been to have a large start meant everything was neat and clean nothing was strong about it was easy to find what I was looking for I will come here again read more

Went in for balloons with my 3 year old. Cashier lady( Hispanic) heard wrong number . She could just apologize like I did but gave me attitude while giving me correct one. She even told my daughter not to play with balloons when she just jumps up to grab strings. She didn't run around the damn store with them. It could've been a pleasant experience if she just smile like I did and both apologize for wrong number heard . Geez. Never going back no matter how cheap. Guess thats how much u pay for service too. read more

This particular store does not care about its customers. Lines often get very long with only a single checker open. Other employees are around the store doing who-knows-what. It is a very exasperating place to shop. read more

cmon, most dollar stores are definitely ghetto, crowded, messy, and smells bad. but its a dollar store. so stop complaining. this place helps a lot with party supplies, gift bags, greeting cards, and all that shit that are priced up too high in regular stores, so the dollar tree, ghetto or not, is the place to be. read more

Hire more staff at register. Other than that, it has everything for cheap. Including dorags! #allaboutdatlyfe

This is like any other store, but what makes it extra special is that it has a frozen food and fridge section. A pint of ice cream for a buck cant be beat. read more

REBECCA is awesome!! She gave me the best customer service I ever had my whole life!! I was looking for colored sand. They only had one container left. She sat on the pone with me calling every store in the bay area. She was w/ me on the phone trying to track this down for me for over and hour. She was great to talk to, and had a great sense of humor... and patience! She even called me the other day to let me know that they received a case of some more sand. She held it off the shelf until I came to pick up what I needed. U rock girl!! Thanks for all your help!! read more
