I love our DG store. One of the full time checkers is anorexic. I like throwing up on the counter (no pun) chips, candy, and doughnuts just to watch her rib cage move from her stomach starting to engage it’s puke cycle.

They sell charity shortbread cookies for the blind or retarded or some bunch, that are damn good. Big round cookies with chocolate on one side, sold in a sleeve for a dollar. They're kinda like Fudge Stripe cookies except these actually taste good.

The ones around here don't sell booze though.

I was in one of our area rural stores. They really are all within 7 miles.


The young man working the store had his own music playing on the store’s overhead comfort compulsive soothing shopping audio system

It was The Sickness by Disturbed. And old album yes but.... anyway.

I got a chuckle looking at the Halloween clearance candy and hearing
“ Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness “

Some old grannies in there going through table cloths and candles. 🤣


Haha


got my chit and left, was a polite kid, I didnt say anything.





Well....my son has a big party out here( this was all last year)

Among 12-15 people I see this kid, LOL
i totally busted him out. He’s a chemistry major. Good kid just dgaf Lol

I’m expecting Walmart and Dollar General to go out of business because everything they sell is made in China. I think that their will be war between the USA and allies; and China. China got the first blow by attacking us with Coronavirus. We shouldn’t buy anything from our enemies , China.

The closest one here is

I was nearly knocked over one time by 3
big shaniqua's running out the door each
with a green basket overflowing with
cosmetics and glue on fingernails and
hair pieces and related garbage
The cashier didn't say a word nor any of
the dozen people waiting in line

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 need to be aware of? I don't want to embarrass myself or my family name during the Grand Opening event.

I know you guys will steer me true!

Believe me. Anything goes.......PJs in the middle of the day, uncombed hair, dirty camo suits, muddy boots, grease covered mechanic overalls...........Come as you are, as long as you have money! Don't worry, if you don't like the one going in now, just wait a week or two and there will be another one built 5 miles down the road.


Is the long mullet still allowed in DG?

That’s disgusting !

At least a Stripper who snout roots lines of coke on her break knows the importance of staying in shape.

Do they sponsor a NASCAR team yet? That will get them big time street cred with the white trash.

Tell me more about these graham crackers.

I don't think this is what He is speaking of, but they sell a chocolate covered graham cracker that is very good. miles

The jumbo soft baked choc chip cookies in the single pack on the snack aisle are good.

$.50 each.

I used to have a girlfriend that thought a fun weekend was driving to Falmouth, KY where they had 2 dollar stores-- one was a DG.

Recently Falmouth got a new Dollar General superstore. It's got a lot of everything. It comes close to what Kresge's used to be (before K-Mart).

I used to feel that a basic survival skill was being able to go into a Dollar Store and a Convenience Store and outfit an entire camping trip in under 60 minutes. It freed you up from having to plan a lot ahead. It came in handy; my best friend died with all my gear in a storage locker in Florida. I flew down to get his stuff and mine home, and found my camping gear was tied up in Probate. There I was in the middle of Ocala National Forest with nothing. 30 minutes in the Dollar Store and another 15 minutes in the Convenience Store, and KYHIllChick and I were living like royalty.

1) Dress code is loose, but I would be wearing the same clothes I'd go into a diner-- shirt, shoes, pants. Don't stand out.

2) Use the same sense and awareness you'd have in a Walmart or a supermarket.

3) Don't be a dick. DG usually has a bunch of scared women running the place. They are not trained to handle emergencies well. They are more likely to call the cops, because they don't know how to handle it any better.

4) Don't get involved. If stuff ever starts going down in a DG, just drop your load and leave quietly. DG is not the place to make your stand for Peace, Justice, and the American Way.

They are like carrion beetles.

Too bad DG aren't set up to sell a few veggies and frozen meat. Their Clover Valley house brands are pretty good quality.


I don't know how Rapes Market stay in business. Freaking highway robbery.
