'Abandoned' Dollar Tree Stuns Shopper: 'Nobody Works Here' (msn.com)

Yolanda Jones recorded her unsuccessful visit to the store on Sunday. A TikTok video of her reaction, captioned Dollar Tree now hiring, quickly shot up to 570,000 views.

So I decided to go to this new Dollar Tree and the motherf**kers just walked off, said the dumbfounded customer. Nobody works here. They abandoned this motherf**ker.

Jones filmed the front door of the store, plastered with five notices of missed deliveries from UPS.

They ain't been here in weeks. I can't make this s**t up! she declared.

Several comments identified the storefront as a Dollar Tree in Jennings, Missouri. Newsweek was not able to confirm this location.

Most of Jones's audience united around a single theory for the staff walk-out, summarized by one viewer in three words: Overworked, understaffed and underpaid.

Several users who claimed to have worked at the chain agreed.

I worked at a dollar tree for 2 days for [minimum] wage. It's not worth it, one said.

I worked at a [D]dollar [T]ree, worked hard too, only get paid about $250 every 2 weeks and they don't care at all, another added.

Dollar Tree has notoriously struggled with staffing shortages across the country. As workers across industries have quit their jobs at a historic rate, retail businesses have started to raise pay, provide better schedules and even give bonuses to retain their workforce.

Roflmaoooooooooooooooooooo, I stay shopping at Dollar Tree , lmaoooooooooooooooo
