Dollar General isn’t even the good dollar store. I never understand this. Dollar Tree is where it’s at, because their stuff actually costs a dollar still. All of it.
I mean, the story is right, Dollar General’s can be found in the middle of f**king nowhere, but still, damn people.
Jesus, Rob, I told you where to score ecstasy in confidence. This was not for public broadcast. White Jimmy is gonna be pissed now.
lol i like how this is a canned coffee commercial
So Dollar stores get sloppy seconds?
My sister lives in a small town in the midwest that has fairly recently gotten a Dollar General. Her town is a half hour drive away from everywhere. The town is small enough that you could walk to Dollar General from anywhere. I think it is the convenience of places like this that make it successful in small towns.
I was going to the airport a few weeks ago when I had to travel about at least 40 minutes through a rural area. I seen at least 7 Dollar Generals just on a single road alone.
Oh, the places where everyone is on welfare and hates the intrusive government.
Sad thing is, your friend probably could have done better by going to the local grocery. There’s usually a bit of a markup on foods that aren’t staple goods. Of course, that’s how they make their money by cashing in on the inability of poor folks to not be able to get to the grocery store 3 miles away when the dollar store is 2 blocks away.
I’m waiting for Walmart to open up their own competing dollar store chain.
I buy there too, although for me it’s mostly odds and ends like shoe laces or band-aids or birthday cards. They also usually have the best price going for diet Coke, and I’m a regular user.
I was expecting a story about an MDMA importer who forgot to salvage his goods from the cheap toys they were smuggled within.
God forbid.
Well he’s not likely to suffer from hyponatremia anytime soone, that’s for sure.
At least Bill Tannen could run a casino without going bankrupt.
Sounds like Central Square. Out of the way from the downtown Boston delivery routes, but quite lucrative if there are multiple drops, Then down a quick Kibbeh Labanieh and beer for lunch at the Middle East in case your dispatcher has any 4+ zone pickups coming back.
You are walking around in SILENCE at these stores because they are too cheap to pay for background music. Management is from the military. They don’t want to help creative people; but, they ask you to “support the troops.” As if cashiers don’t have enough to do. They make the poor employees yell “WOO HOO” for a donation for the CEO buddies in the US defense force. No unions, worker ownership here.
Too late. And as RM pointed out
it’s actually worse.
Sounds like a mercy to me.
Common in lots of companies in many countries.
Seemed quite a claim so I had to look it up. AFAICT donations go to veterans & their families in need of food support, vets in hospitals, and the like. Here is some other info. Your favorite search engine will tell you more.
My previous employer had an internal veterans support group in the US office. When they were doing a donation call for NYC homeless vets I drop shipped 20 sleeping bags and emergency blankets. I don’t see anything objectionable in helping out vets in need.
Same for lots of jobs at every level.
That’s not as much of a contradiction as you might think. They don’t want welfare—though they’ll take it in preference to starving in a gutter. They want jobs. The feeling of earning a crust by their own two hands. And they ain’t getting those jobs. Ever. Hence the anger.
