- zer00eyz 2y agoBing bing bing!!! Your just a hair off the mark its dollar general. And its next level fuckery there too: https://www.businessinsider.com/dollar-general-overcharging-shoppers-at-checkout-according-state-governments-customers-2023-11 https://www.businessinsider.com/dollar-general-overcharging-...
- silverquiet 2y agoIn theory, a small general type store serving a small community could make a lot of sense. In practice however, they tend to be fairly depressing to shop in because they're just barely maintained by the one employee who's harried to stock shelves and clean between ringing up customers.
- radlad 2y agoThere are other issues with Dollar General too. For one thing, profits don't stay in the local community as they would if you were shopping at a mom and pop. And, just like Walmart, they can easily undermine competition by lowering their prices temporarily.
- rlue 2y agoExcept why would Walmart leave if there were still sufficient consumer demand to capitalize off of?
- radlad 2y agoA Walmart is larger and requires far more resourcing than a Dollar General.
