I work at Dollar Tree – we can tell if people are stealing as they all use the same techniques

A DOLLAR Tree employee has revealed the key to knowing if someone is trying to steal from the store.

YouTuber Angelica G. said almost everyone uses the technique and it makes it super obvious.

Angelica, who to be a Dollar Tree employee, said there’s a common signifier to knowing if someone is trying to steal: they talk.

She then recalled the time a chatty woman came to the register with her baby in her stroller.

As the woman was rambling, Angelica noticed that she had packs of Pokemon cards hidden in the stroller’s cupholders.

When she called her out for it, the woman played it off like she had forgotten they were there.

She also claimed that someone once stuffed a basket full of Valentine’s Day bears and then ran out of the store.

They took off in a car that was parked right outside the store.

Angelica added that if people come in “big groups” or walk in carrying a handful of bags, it looks suspicious and often doesn’t end with payment.

CASHIER OR SECURITY?

Angelica claimed that Dollar Tree employees aren’t expected to just be cashiers – they need to be security, too.

“People steal constantly left and right, all hours of the day,” she noted.

“Sometimes the people you least expect it are the ones who steal.”

She also noted that while Dollar Trees have cameras, cameras don’t stop people from stealing.

“At the end of the day, all the employees are security,” she explained.

“Working there, you kinda have to pretend that you own the place.

“You have to defend it.

“If you don’t, you’ll get called out on it.”

She even went on to say that the restrooms at her store are closed to the public in order to prevent theft from happening.

“The people who shoplift ruin it for all of you,” she claimed.

Of course, Angelica is speaking from her own experiences working at the popular store.

Similarly, a former Walmart employee was speaking of her own experiences working there in a video she posted about “secrets” that staff doesn’t want customers to know.

For instance, she said customers can potentially get a free gift card if they complain the right way.
