'It's just very weird and customers aren't happy': Petty dollar store boss forces employees to pay out of pocket for supplies

The quality of the customer service is going downhill fast at this one dollar store. 

How far would you go to help out a customer? Sometimes it's the little things that matter most, like helping an older person carry their bags to their car for them. Or an employee could make someone's day by finding a random coupon for them to apply to their purchase, saving them a few bucks. A worker might even brighten up a customer's day just by chatting with them as they double-bag their items. 

So it's pretty odd that this dollar store is doing away with all of that. Instead of being proud of their customer service, they're just inconveniencing their workers and customers with this new set of rules that will seemingly make everyone's lives a little worse. One of these new rules is that if customers can carry their purchases to the front of the store, employees aren't allowed to help them take the items to their car. Come on, how hard would it be to help Grandma put her bags in the trunk of her car? That's the kind of petty rulemaking that'll turn customers away from the store, and lead them towards the competitor's shop instead.
