The Clover Valley chili mix will cauterize hemorrhoids. A normal anglo can't eat the stuff. Otherwise, I like DG.

I like em.
I’ll go to DG 10:1 vs the Walmart’s.
The $12 blue jeans are a good buy for work pants.
The $1 spray bottle of LA’s totally awesome cleaner is a steal.

DGs and the other dollar stores are like the mini-big corporate Walmarts. Any mom and pop that is within a reasonable driving distance will be put out of business. The big box corps have replaced the small proprietorship LOCALLY OWNED that support rural local economies. 100% correct. I read a while back that DG with its sheer number of stores/purchasing power can leverage better wholesale retailer pricing than just about any store other than Walmart. Mom and pop stores don’t have a chance between the prices or number of employees it would take to track, order, and, inventory the number of items that a DG can stock in a small space all tracked and ordered from a central office. I talked to some managers and They go through LOTS of inventory every week. The only thing it adds to local rural economies is the few low wage hires that work as cashiers and stock. Since my family has run small proprietorships since the old coal mine company towns. They got out of those and set up shop with high risk and personal losses for decades before success came. I try to see things from the perspective of individuals and communities, which is counter to the cheap conveniences that people destroy their own areas with. It's caused young adult children to move far away, churches to close, and the interdependent local ecology/economies to turn to gt welfare instead of free enterprises. This has led small crime free neighborhoods to turn into rural "hoods" of drugs, whores, welfare and senior poverty as their wealth is taken for property taxes. Breaks my heart.

I live out in the sticks, so to speak. We've got a gas station and Post Office a coupla miles from the house.
but I ain't regular.
What are the behavioral expectations for a home-town Dollar General? How must one conduct themselves in said establishment when they're a local? Is there a dress code.
I know you guys will steer me true! You need clothes, a mask and money or a CC. I love DG when im on the road and not regular, but in that case Burger King or Mickey Ds will do. Screw Family Dollar. They want your money, no schiett.

Good place to buy super glue and cheaters.
The one time I was in a DG was on a mission to get super glue.

A Dollar General grand opening is definitely a black tie event.
Sock, you even asking about this tells us you’re lacking in too many social refinements to count.
Take a few hookers with you, they can fill out employment applications and you’ll be a rock-star in the community.

Sadly, I believe you are correct. This may be my only play. Unfortunately, the local talent is...lacking.

Pants are required most of the time. From what I’ve seen at the local one here, that only applies to men. Seen more than one gal in what I assume were panties and a semi long t shirt. Not the ones you want to see though.

They sell a $3.15 box of wine... that is to die for. Is it worth putting on pants for? Sometimes they have cold beer on sale. Try not to pay a mind to the baby mamas rummagin' through their suitcase purse for the Clorox coupon.

DG serves as a Fedex pickup point. It took me a week to get my $800 3d printer that was delivered there. They claimed they didn't have it but after the seller and fedex got involved it was magically found in the managers office.
Basically it is a mini walmart for people in the sticks.

A lot of the merchandise is smaller quantity special packaging for DG that allows them to sell the product slightly cheaper but with higher markup. They carry an amazing variety of merchandise.

pajamas, wife beater and crocs are uniform of the day. and their canned meat selection is phenomenal. Scratch the pajamas and wife beater, but don't diss my Crocs. They ARE the uniform of the day...every day...year round. I do wish the style I prefer would come in something other than camo. We don't have a DG here but I'm told that Crocs are the preferred footwear.
