I've heard it said that Dollar Trees are notoriously easy to shoplift from...

You probably don't want to get caught shoplifting from the only place in your town that sells groceries.

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's a given. But if the only place in your town to get groceries is a Dollar Tree then that kinda sucks.

They aren't.

Dollar Tree was always my last resort "Dollar Store". Now I'll never go there. Add another to the list

I mean, they could at least have blamed tariffs.

Back of the napkin math, assuming all 214,000 employees (Google result) are at $8.32/hr, and get bumped to $12/hr, and they all work 2000 hours a year (2 weeks off), that results in an annual increase in payroll of $1,575,040,000.

Obviously something has to change, and I don't think people would mind another bump in sale prices if that means better pay across the board for employees.
