Reply to comment by jabbadarth in Dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers by household expenditure share between 2008 to 2020 according to Tufts University. While they still represent a small fraction of national household food purchases, they play an increasingly prominent role for disadvantaged and rural communities. by shiruken
Yeah our Dollar General looks like the staff is paid generally a dollar. Shelves are never reorganized, abandoned stocking equipment blocking the aisles, don't restock for weeks. I can't blame them, I doubt they're being paid well but you can glaringly tell by the quality of the store management

"don't restock for weeks"
Dollar stores business model is to buy remnants and excess inventory. They buy whatever they can get a deal on.
They can't restock until they can find another deal.
Aldi is similar for many of their products. Sometimes they have pork loin ribs, most of the time they don't.

It’s the same at mine. And it’s only another mile to Walmart. It’s somehow seems busy though, I guess a lot of lazy people. I went in for ice cream once and the only mint chocolate chip they had was this horribly dented one that for some reason had a gritty texture. I actually ended up throwing it out. It wasn’t expired either. They’re so short staffed that they’re easy to steal from I imagine.

I bought a candy bar there and it disintegrated when I opened it up. Never have I bought food from one again.
