Twitter was definitely down for a conversation about Dollar Tree's price hike, with one member of the Twitterverse predicting, "Dollar Tree is raising its prices from $1.00 to $1.25 which means every employee will quit when people start yelling "WHY ARE YOU CALLED DOLLAR TREE THEN?!?!?" Another user asked, "That's the real journalist question: 'Did you raise employee wages by 25%'?" This sentiment was echoed by a user who wrote, "If Dollar Tree can raise its prices, you can ask for that raise." One tweeter tied the increase to the surge in inflation in the U.S., which Reuters reports is at a 31-year high. That individual tweeted, "Dollar Tree says I see your 5-6% inflation and I'll raise to 25%."
