comments about DG similar to my experience.

I have one walking distance from my home with a now closed soon to be Dollar Tree, Family Dollar on the other side of the intersection.

I go there maybe once every 2 months. Every time I go there is usually 5 - 7 people in the store. If they had a larger crowd, I'd go somewhere else, so I think their model is really open a store where you can get in and get out

I have family in very rural Alabama and its DG there at every major crossroads. And its a huge timesaver from having to drive into town an additional 17 miles

have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
