you can’t be calling it a dollar store and charging more than a dollar like that it’s un-american

    16:56 yea, the amount of things you have to keep track of is crazy, you’re doing at least 3 different jobs a shift and get paid like you’re doing it for fun. the balloons were always the worst, especially when ppl came in last minute and had a bunch to blow up, I’ve had to tell people I couldn’t a few times bc we were too busy

    As someone who lives in a small town in East Tennessee, we literally have one Walmart, one Walgreens, one cvs, and 3 going on 4 dollar generals😂

    Edit: Not to mention and dollar store and family dollar🙄

    Used to work at DG, it genuinely gets this bad and it’s not even the fault of the managers, corporate just KEEPS SENDING SHIT especially things your manager DIDN’T ask for/buy. It’s actually insane, plus corporate DG is a “yes man” company, meaning if you question authority or try to fight for your underlings as a manager, YOU GET THREATENED WITH YOUR JOB OR PUNISHED OTHERWISE.

    It's funny how the minimum wage is supposed to $15 in the US, as I work at goodwill making $12.85 working there 2 1/2 years. They start out at $12, originally for me $11.25

    The polish one means "everything for 5zł or more" (5zł is more or less a dolar) there are also shops called złotówka (little 1zł) but nothing is actually that cheap there

    I won't stand for this red baron slander. It isnt worth 5 dollars but it IS better then dijornos. I would go as far to say red baron is the best frozen pizza

    Hearing the word billion after any number makes me so sick on how these companies make soo much money, and they pay us minimum wage and will give you a raise of a quarter and tell you thats a raise

    on the whole dollar general harming mom and pop stores, it's true. i grew up in a small village that had one corner store, two rivalling gas station across from each other, a family dollar, a dollar general, and one actual grocer. the grocer was a mom and pop store that had been there since the village was established. the family dollar shut down not too long after the dollar general was built due to loss in sales. it simply outperformed it. the thing about our dollar general is that it isn't one of the markets. it's just a convenience store. no produce or meats. the mom and pop shop has much more inflated prices since it's a small business, and it loses to dollar general for that. the same bbq sauce you'll find there is $5 compared to dollar general's $3. the only thing that keeps our mom and pop shop open is their produce, liquor, deli, and meats. if they opened a dollar general market in my home town, our mom and pop shop would be dead in a year.

    Bro my local Dollar General has pushed the local stores to ruin. All the local stores burned down, definitely for the insurance money. Then the Family Dollar & Dollar General merge is crazy

    There is one thing on the price per ounce that technically saves you money. Waste. Buying a bigger bottle of sauce might save money. But if you don't use it all, you're wasting money.
