'They Were Afraid': California Dollar Tree Shopper Berates Cashier Over $2 Change Delay

Sometimes, working a retail job is the only occupation a person can get at the time. However, that line of work is depicted as a nightmare by the countless social media clips that dominate the internet. With that being said, this recently posted TikTok video is just another one of those exact situations. The clip has around 2K likes and 48.6K views as a rude California woman crashes out on a Dollar Store employee over two bucks.

The TikTok video starts off with the angry woman yelling about how the Dollar Store cashier still owes her two dollars in change. Although the worker is trying to explain that her register does not have the sufficient funds to give the woman her correct change. With that being said, it is on the store’s manager to refill the register, which they clearly did not do. As the altercation continues, the rude California woman apparently can’t grasp the concept that the cash register is empty. She then proceeded to throw a temper tantrum over two dollars’ worth of change. She even begins throwing harsh insults at the employee.

Today at Dollar Tree on Broadway in La Mesa, I witnessed something really upsetting. A female customer was yelling at the cashier over $2. It looked like the cashier didn’t have enough change in her register, and she even told the manager earlier that they needed more money in the cash box to avoid situations like this. Yes, the customer wanted her $2 back, and that’s understandable. But what’s not okay is the way she treated the cashier. She started calling her names, and saying things like, “bitch, you work at Dollar Tree.” I’m glad the cashier said” then why are you shopping here? ” She even called the cashier “four eyes” and demanded that the manager fire her. No one deserves to be treated like that. Don’t ever denigrate someone because of their job. I was actually glad the cashier stood up for herself. What was also disappointing was that the manager and another employee stood there and didn’t step in. It seemed like they were afraid of the loud customer. One of them even told the cashier” you need to go home” Sadly, the cashier ended up quitting right there. Shame on that customer for the way she treated someone who was just doing her job. Everyone deserves respect. @Dollar Tree you need to train your managers better! Your cashier was not wrong!! #dollartree #loudcustomer #badmanager #cashier . Honestly, the most concerning part isn’t someone wanting their $2 back, it’s the disrespect and harassment. Everyone deserves basic dignity at work. 🙌 I feel for you Amber! I hope you find a better job where they have your back and they treat you with respect 🙏🏻

TikTok Takes Sides Amid California Dollar Tree Altercation

The TikTok comment section had a lot to say regarding this situation, though. Many would flood the video in order to leave behind their own thoughts and opinions about what they have seen so far. “I can honestly say Dollar Tree does not care about their employees,” wrote one. One other person also said, “I work at Dollar Tree, and unfortunately, this happens very often, and when we don’t have any change in our drawers, we stop accepting cash & accept cards only to avoid these situations.” Finally, one last person’s comment read, “They were afraid,” in regards to the cashier.

As the TikTok video continues, the angry California only goes on and on about her two dollars. She then insults the cashier for working at a Dollar Tree, and in turn, the employee fires back at her for shopping there. Finally, the annoying customer would find the manager and start yelling at them. They can also be heard telling the manager to fire the employee.

The angry California woman would then exit the store after insulting the cashier a few more times. However, the cahiers would then start an altercation with her manager. This leads to the young woman quitting her job on the spot and heading home that very day. At the end of the day, this was quite the wild turn of events for a simple Dollar Tree trip. Hopefully, the cashier finds a better job, though.
