Dollar general is pretty bad for towns. Don’t know if they’ve done heinous anti union shit yet by they siphon wealth out of local economies kind of lethally
This is true, but Dollar General also tends to move in after the economy is already hollowed out. You used to have vast distribution networks of local merchants and independent businesses. Now everything flows up to the Waltons and Bezos and Dollar General licks up the scraps.
Indeed but Dollar General is just worth mentioning specifically because the rate they do it at is larger per their revenue. Like if you live in a small town and hear DG is trying to set up, seriously fight that shit.
At least it’s not Walmart.

That’s right I forget they operate on skeleton crews.
Walmart is way worse.
literally every public company siphons wealth

It takes twice as many sticks to make a W than a V.
