    One of my favorite holiday party trays is to make "party" cookies. I get the plainest cookies I can find at the Dollar Tree and a container of frosting. I just melt the frosting in a pan on the stove, then dip the cookies in it, or make a swish, swirl or glob on the cookie. Add on sprinkles, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. and you have plain cookies made into their "party" best.

    @jenniferd264 Місяць тому +6

    I’m convinced she not only straightens up the shelves before she films she cleans them! Because I’ve been in 50+ different Dollar Tree stores. The one constant is the shelves are old, rust spots, dirty and many bent. They’re generally a hot mess. I’m talking about the metal shelves themselves! Depending on the GM it may or may not be orderly. With products pulled forward and all even. I do this in the stores around my town. I recently helped one GM for 2.5 hours straighten up the make up section. That store literally looks like the roof got ripped off in a tornado. Then every single item sucked up into it, swirled around then just spit back into the store from above. It’s that messy! The entire store. But I helped him with the make up section. It was back to a hot wreck with maybe 20% of products on the pegboard. I just like doing this, straightening it all up. 🤷🏼‍♀️
    I looked back at a few of Katherine’s videos and it just dawned on me how clean the metal shelves are. Unless her stores are brand new & those shelves were just made last week She has to take everything off, clean then restock!
    Here’s my question for y’all…
    What does your regular stores nail polish section look like? How about the make up? 😊
    This is not a criticism, not at all! I love it if she does!
    Great video ❤

    • @Cheray_
      @Cheray_ Місяць тому +2

      My main 8 DTs vary. 3 are exactly like hers (always film-ready) and managed by the same GM, who is constantly in all of them. One is 3yo but the others are old. The nail polish, ribbon, and tool sections are perfectly lined. Some nail polishes are in clear plastic bases that I assume they're shipped in and top removed. Others are lined up on the shelves without mixing of colors.
      Then, I have 3 stores that are old with rusty shelves but lined up and stocked very well. All of the managers of those stores worked for the same GM, that I mentioned before.
      The last two stores are atrocious, like you described. They have a high turnover rate, are not full Plus stores, and have lower income shoppers. I find the management to be important, but the shoppers' behavior makes a big difference too. I noticed the stores where people ruffle through stuff and not put stuff back also have the smallest staff. Hope I helped🤷🏾‍♀️😉

    • @jenniferd264
      @jenniferd264 4 дні тому +1

      @@Cheray_ you did! And you nailed it spot on…. Management! We can’t always blame everything on Corporate! But as far as the GM, It matters big! The cleaner the store the more the GM is there busting it 100%! The messy practically empty one, I think I’ve seen the GM once. I live 1 mile from it so I’m in often. I even marked a few boxes that had been on the floor for a long time. They were there overtt 2 MONTHS!
      This one is in a cycle that if not stopped they’ll have to close it. I regularly go to 7 stores. 7-8. If I took all the empty spaces and added it up? It’d still be 1/3 at most of all the empty space in this one! She’s just flat out given up! With less & less hours = fewer people working = less stock out = Less sales = less profit = Less hours…. And round & round it goes until it’s gone. Which is sad. It could be a great store.
      There are a very small number here that look like this one here in the video. But even those have fixtures as old a dirt. The one I’m at the most has the worst floors! Dear God they’re a death trap! Last week a very sweet 85 yr old Lady tripped and fell hard! Her DIL & the Mgr on duty held her while I called 911. The Mgr was holding the lady till the Ambulance got there. She did a great job. She was just the perfect balance of professional & compassionate. But I’ll be honest, I’m surprised that doesn’t happen every day! There are holes/dips in the floor all over the store. Corporate’s fix? Put tape on it 🤔 The bathroom was broken for 3+ months. So no water. The floors are disgusting 🤮
      I can do a lot as a Customer/ friend but certainly not the floors. lol
