As a former dollar tree employee... 100% accurate. Even the parts you were joking about. I really can't stress this enough.
We were told to stack helium containers in front of the fire exit.
I threatened to call the fire marshal.
They ignored me.
I called.
They threatened to have me fired.
I got my boss investigated by OSHA, made them into a liability for the company, got them fired, then quit.

I worked at Walmart for a while, and a few of my coworkers described working at Dollar General as a torture chamber. They say that WHILE working at Walmart

Speaking as somebody who literally just quit their job at DG, this feels like the ending cutscene in a video game.

One of my students worked at a DG and he couldnā€™t organize a union but he got the employees together and they got management to sign an agreement regarding pay and hours. I was so proud of him.

Love that companies always say, "A union only gets between us and our employees". I am sorry but if I am alone in the room with my abuser, I want someone to jump in between us.

My mom just quit Dollar General (in Florida) and I practically did a happy dance when she told me she was finally done working there! Sheā€™s over 70 and was working there to make ends meet and was always being called in! We finally got her and my stepdad into some decent income adjusted housing (far away from Florida) so now she wonā€™t have to work at all. My momā€™s mood has improved 1000% since leaving DG.

When I got my OSHA 10 certification, my teacher told me that the one group of stores that get more OSHA fines then anywhere else is dollar stores. When asked why, she said it's because they get fined and just find it cheaper to pay the increase in fines then actually work to make their stores safe for the employees.

As a former Dollar Tree employee, 100% true, I remember vividly being told that not only were all the security cameras in our store fakes to ward off potential robbers, but we literally sold those exact same fake cameras in the same store, same model and everything. Kinda breaks the illusion when you look up from the box that says ā€œrealistic fake camerasā€ and see the same ones hanging from the ceiling, that is if you could see it above the towers of boxes in front of you

Worked at a Dollar tree as a manager for 2 years. Had to call OSHA multiple times because our ceiling was falling down and leaking and black mold was all over the walls. Wasn't offered any benefits other than one week vacation. Would have to literally break up physical fights between customers. The second i got my college degree i was out. Working retail full time and still needing food stamps should be illegal.

My mom was manager at Dollar General when I was 6 years old. As a 6 year old spending long nights in a closed DG, I helped her stock shelves, take trash out, and collect shopping carts so we could leave hopefully before 1 a.m. I don't know when we got home, I always fell asleep on the way home.

Hey! As a former Amazon employee, I can say that Amazon also has similar anti-union training videos, and makes every new employee sit through them as a part of the multi-hour training video gauntlet they put you through before you start.
It sure does give you the sense that the thing these companies desperately need are, in fact, unions!

I used to work for a company that processed Dollar General's worker's comp claims. The most common injuries there were gunshot wounds, spider bites, human bites, and one in particular was listed as "trauma to the right side of the head with toaster oven"

I worked for DG for 6 months in 2013. By the end of my time there, I was the longest tenured employee in the store.

Yā€™all, it isnā€™t just the dollar stores.
The seemingly higher end retail establishments are often facing the same things; itā€™s a joke how accurate this video was.
No one gets paid nearly enough, tasks keep getting piled onto them while man-hours keep diminishing. I loved that he threw in cleaning the bathrooms.
Not a single thing in the store is going as well as it should and everyone hates it, but weā€™re still showing up doing our best.

Be kind to retail workers.

I've worked for dollar general and dollar tree. I also live in a rural area where they're the only place that sells food and goods. This is INSANELY ACCURATE and I'm honestly in disbelief someone is FINALLY calling them out.

My friend, Brian Eurie, died in Indianapolis while working at Dollar General. He was shot and killed during a robbery. It happened all the time. No one at corporate listened.
