Nah, this is a huge American corporation, the customer base of which isn’t powerful or wealthy. Quaint rules protecting consumers don’t apply to them.

Dollars Tree doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well. Why not Dollar Trees?

I love how Witynski spins it so that he’s doing his customers a big favor by raising prices.

I live in a community with only one grocery store (which sucks), three dollar stores (two of them Dollar General), four national chain “pharmacies”, and two Wawa’s. The second Dollar General just got built. I really hate this current reality. I have to drive about 20 minutes to get to a decent, reasonably priced grocery store.

Yep, even the Youtuber The Wolfe Pit talks about how food from the Dollar Tree and the like aren’t good deals. And that with a little imagination you can make cheaper meals from a grocery store but it’s hard to do that when said stores basically swamp out grocery chains all the time.
