Dollar Tree

This is regarding store #1057 at 611 East Chestnut St, Junction City, KS 66441. Date of visit: 07 March 2021, approximate time: 4pm. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of compassion and understanding shown by the employees of the Junction City Dollar Tree today, Sunday, March 7, 2021. My 87 year old mother asked me to take her to Dollar Tree so she could buy me a birthday gift. She doesn't drive and doesn't get out of the house often She has Parkinson's and takes medication for breathing....that makes her need to use the restroom quite unexpectedly at times. When we asked to use the bathroom at Dollar Tree...we were told it's NOT open to the public. Now, had there been another store with an available bathroom nearby....or if my mom could walk fast...this wouldn't have been a problem. But since an "accident" was imminent and my mom was very distressed....and there were no other bathrooms within walking distance...I BEGGED the staff to allow her to use their bathroom (which prior to COVID, was open to guests). I explained her age and health status to them. Staff members got the Manager, who firmly refused to allow my Mom to use their bathroom....even though we were wearing Masks and her distress and age were quite evident. Maybe I'm too compassionate because I'm a nurse. Maybe I'm not being objective because it's my mother who was distressed. I hope the staff at the Dollar Tree in Junction City get the opportunity to experience the distress of being sick, old and asking for help...and not receiving help. TODAY was the LAST time I will ever go into the Dollar Tree in Junction City, Kansas.

I love this store. What's not to love! Great prices. Fantastic selection. Friendly service. Clean isles. Well organized products. They have a vast variety of items to fit the tightest budget.
