Is Dollar General the equivalent of Pound Land?
Probably. Often it's a corner store around sprawling middle-class suburban areas on the outskirts of cities with few shops (zoning in the US is fucked), somewhat denser but low-income urban areas, and often it'll be the only place besides a gas station in rural towns where you can get groceries without driving miles to a larger town. Unsurprisingly, they're parasites.
Here's an interior shot from their own website, so if you can imagine that but more soulless in reality, you have a Dollar General. I actually don't consider myself that biased against DG in particular; the situation in America is kind of just that bad.
Yeah, if I ever walked into a DG that looked like that image I'd assume I was at the flagship store.
For the real experience:
It’s all at least 1.25 now, but more recently most things have been $2-6
Lol. Did they use AI to clean the aisles in that photo, because they're too cheap to hire enough help ($8/hr starting wage), and expect 1-2 employees to unload and check in truck deliveries, put it away, change prices on shelves, assist customers, and run registers. Then they constantly berate staff for "shrink".
Probably. Their gimmick as someone else said, is every price ends in 00 or .50. Most stores in the US are .99 or something. That "illusion of cheaper". Walmart tends to be .98.
But also, basically every tiny rural town has 1 or 2 of these stores. They may not even have a Wal-mart ofna regular grocery store, but they will have a Dollar General.
