I worked in a supermarket in high school and in college. We had a produce section. Even a decent selection of organic. We still had a large segment of shoppers who stocked up on 3 liter sodas and microwaveable pizzas, exactly the kind of stuff people can now buy for cheaper at a dollar store. My guess is banning dollar stores is a form of lobbying by their competition.
