In all fairness to the chain stores – and I can’t believe I’m coming to their defense – this happened at an independent one-off dollar store. In my experience, the independents have unbelievably crappier crap than the chain stores. I have to believe that the chains’ corporate layer might have prevented this sort of fuck-up. And I say this as someone who fuckin’ hates the Dollar Tree. Yet I keep being sent on errands there.
I have a niece and nephew who used to watch Dragon Tales. A lot. That was about 15 years ago but the theme song stuck in my head. Recently, it has morphed into the following little ditty, which I loudly sing whenever my better half dispatches me on an errand to the Dollar Tree:
♬ Dollar Tree, Dollar Tree ♬
♬ Drink my pee at Dollar Tree ♬
♬ If you wish to drink my pee you will find me at Dollar Tree ♬
♬ Dollar Trap, Dollar Trap ♬
♬ Imported crap at Dollar Trap ♬
etc.
