Productive work place and very very busy
Cashier (Current Employee), Dartmouth Tacoma Drive – November 19, 2012
A typical day working at dollarama is just doing the basics other words do returns, clean the store fill the fridges up with drinks and serve customers. Either your first cash or 2,3,4,5,6 or 7th. Depending at what cashier you are would be what you would have to do for the day.

my experience
Customer Service (Former Employee), Ottawa, ON – November 8, 2012
Cons: hours were horrible
Working at Dollarama was very different then any other employment i have ever had.
You not only did one task there you were recommended to do several as well. From stalking to cash to unloading product from trucks.
I only worked there for about a month as they dropped my hours because i got sick with the flu.
