Definitely true to some extent everywhere, and a serious problem for retail in general, but
>Go into a non-supercenter Walmart in the average town.
Picking Walmart specifically seems disingenuous. They are notorious for their staffing problems, and were the go-to example of a bad retail job before Amazon started hogging the bad press.
Dollar General in particular is also one of the store that I kept seeing on social media during the pandemic with signs whining that "no one wants to work" while nearby business owners would chime in and say, "I've had no issues getting staff, I'm just willing to pay a competitive wage and not treat my employees like dirt". Anecdotally, it seems like Dollar General is specifically worse to work for than your average retail chain.
