With an incredible ranking of 499th, Dollar Tree Stores, Inc moved up the glorified and greatly coveted symbolic ladder of success even jumping 34 spots, since 2008, to its present position of Fortune 500's "Top 1000 US businesses". Not too shabby in this delicate economy!
Of course, the big question every struggling business owner is asking while reading this most awesome blog is...How Did They Do It??? Did they inspire employees to pursue superior customer service?

Sure you might reason, "Well, all the other companies are doing it", but there's something more dirty here than DDT's on organic brussel sprouts!

That adds up to a lot of money for hard-working individuals...

That's the simplest way to demonstrate "for every action there is a reaction" and the reaction is now under way as the class action lawsuits have piled in like fall foliage in upstate New York.
