A woman who said she worked as a Dollar Tree manager during the COVID-19 pandemic recently shared a story on TikTok about a moment she described as one of the most appreciated she has ever felt on the job. The video, posted by a creator known as Mrs. CJ on the account @croupmushroom, appeared to resonate widely with viewers who have worked in retail or customer service.
In the video, Mrs. CJ recounted a shift during the pandemic when every coworker called out and left her alone to run the store. She explained that Dollar Tree locations are often understaffed to begin with, which made the situation even harder to manage on her own.
