Are all Dollar Generals so fucked * 1
    #26393628 - 12/21/19 07:43 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I live in a small town i supose if you want to get technical its a village. The only shopping center that is not mom and pop within 20mile radius is a dollar general and this place is a shitsty im talkin super un organized very cluttered the shelves are always stocked and they are organized but they keep like the entire back of the store out in the isles unpacked inventoy on rolling carts blocking entire isles and this is all the time. I literally despise going there but what can i say somtimes you gotta do what you gotta do. This is the only dollar general ive ever been in and was wondering is that a corporate wide issue where poor building desighn just leaves no room for inventory in the back?

dollar store, dollar general, family dollar, dollar tree... all of them are just above flea markets.. half the boxed items have things missing, drunk bottles on shelf's... whole rows of pepsi's where someone came in and open tops just to release the carbonation. they are all like that.


--------------------
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

It's the low-income demographic that frequents these places that makes them so shitty. Where I'm from at least, any place that caters specifically to people with very little money just ends up trashed.

Ya I went to a dollar general in the hood yesterday and I’ve never seen one so fucked. 

The one near where I stay is nothing like that. 

I was thinking the same thing when I went in there.  Looked like what a store would look like after an earthquake lol

Up here we have Dollarama.  It's normally a big store with shelves packed we items that go from a quarter to 5$.  It's very organized and the lay out is similar from store to store.  One of the fastest growing chain in Canada.

I have a vefy limited list of items I buy there though.  I prefer quality.

The dollar stores I've visited vary greatly, it's seemingly based on their employment, ones with reliable employment tend to be much nicer and better organized. The same goes for Walmarts, Target's, etc.. There's a Walmart here that is in the richest township in Pennsylvania, it's constantly the least organized Walmart I've ever been in. Meanwhile, the Dollar Tree in the same mall complex is fucking perfect.

Dollar general is a general store, not a dollar store.  They have few employees and stock in the day.  Hence why the clutter.

I go to dollar general to get most of my non food items.  It is next to Aldi.  They have good prices on tp, body soap, shampoo, dish washing stuff.  It is NOT a grocery store, although they do have some food.

They mostly have low to middle end name brand food.  To me is expensive due to advertising.  Mostly junk food.

The massive number of these type stores are having a significant adverse effect on local grocery stores, which are frequently closing. Some areas are taking steps to keep them from opening more. Dollar General and Dollar Tree (which bought Family Dollar in 2015) have a combined number of locations nearing 30,000 today, and have plans to build 10,000 - 20,000 more stores. Many (or most) are going into low income areas.

A lot of legit grocery stores are getting run out of business by these dollar branded stores. In my city the city ended up giving giant tax cuts to a couple of grocery stores to promote real grocery availability in less desirable neighborhoods. The Dollar Tree and 7-11 don't cut it, and there were neighborhoods that were food deserts.

Well the grocery stores sell the same products but for at least three times the price as Dollar General and Dollar Tree do.

Why not go there.

I do for certain items. 

But the same bag of Doritos is $1 there and my local Safeway tries charging $3.99 for the same shit.  Seasoning , same thing.  Body wash, same.  If they are still profiting , then that means other grocery stores are excessively over charging for items.

The problem is that they don't sell real food. I get many of those same items at dollar stores, but if you live in a neighborhood that only has a dollar store and not a real grocery store, then you destined to have a shit diet.
