Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Behind Dollar General's Strategy to Dominate Rural America

Mom and Peepaw just have to get innovative.

Like I said we have a Patel operated Shell gas station across from my favorite DG.

They kero, firewood. kindling, drink soda fountain, frozen Parrot Ice, hot dogs and brat station, a Subway, a BBQ pit, some picnic tables, lottery tickets, they’ll fix you a $3 Dagwood bologna sandwich.


DG has Redbox and just typical DG goods.

I can drive 2 miles to a real grocery store and have groids and wokes treatbme like chit.

Or i can go 1 mile to a DG and have drunks and rednecks treat me at least neutral.

I do hit DG for tape, lightbulbs or pop.....just quick need stuff.

Actually drive 5 miles to a diff grocery store for my main stuff

Just drove 20 milesone way to find some amish type store.
Got info at work from some.mgmnt lady.

Uh, aint where she said. 180 siff direction think i found it LOL.

Hit it when skankajawea finishes her food.
Am at reg diner place and had steak fajitas and a miller.lite.

I could lay on the bank by spillway without a pole and take a friggin nap. Big cat rod and a couple.pbr cans make it look more official.

Tie a fishin line to yo big toe and tap a nap

LOL

It is funny about how so many complain so much about joggers and methheads yet choose to frequent their support systems. I worked my azz off so that we don't have to frequent fast food joints, wally's or the $ store. It is great to have choices and the leisure to exercise them.

YMMV

LOL

I see comments like Walmart destroyed the good ol' mom & pops,...,.,. DG.... etc

But in actuality, it wasn't them.... it was us SHOPPING at them. If everyone had kept shopping there then they'd still be around. There's a locally owned / run store out by me that I go to first. If they don't have it or can't get it by when I need it I'll go elsewhere. They aren't a 'grocery' store although they have quite a bit. I give em a chance.

Farmers Market fairly close as well. And meat/butcher shops as well.
I get very little from Kroger and the such.

Same w/ fuel, there's a locally owned non-franchise that I give my business to most of the time. Not always the cheapest but close enough for me. Locally owned hardware store around too (actually my son-in-law's dad that owns it). I hit him up before Lowes/Home Depot. But most won't do it.... most want sheer price and convenience. And then they bitch about China, Corporations, etc. Meh.

Same with Gun Shops. Had my FFL for over 30 years and turned it all in last year. Keep buying from Buds and other places..... Shops will close. Then when there are only 20 or so 'outlets' for guns.... how easy is THAT to take care of. Sorry, my conspiracy theory self kicked in.

I'll shop when I can with my local shops. Then if I HAVE to have it right THEN.... I'll hit wally world. But mostly use DG for sundries not at local shop.

I count all these locally owned places as blessings for me. Lotta folks don't have those options anymore. What a sad time

I think I've been to DG once in the past year. They just don't have much of anything I want to buy. Not into crappy junk food so drive 30 miles to the grocery store every couple weeks.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The most pompous ass on the fire. Blood kin to Spanokapitas no doubt. Royalty world wide consults with him on important issues of etiquette. LMAO

They got Steak-Umms

Wow, 20 miles?

Never had a steakum.

Northern gunshop had nothing I wanted or needed.
The ol lady got her shrimp and wine fix for the day.
Am back home waiting for kids to GTFO and go to fair ( last day ).

Am gonna weed in back yard when all is mellow.

There are two others about 10 miles away in diff directions.
But never been to this one. Plus reg grocers and several DG LOL

Not everything is about convenience.

I pass a DG on way to work.
See old ladies w newer little Cadillacs shuffling in and out.
Proly gotta be 75 or older to shop there

You can purchase Pierogies at ours. I do wish they sold ammo and fishing supplies, but I'm sure the Minnesotans would crap a brick if they saw that.

WTF is that???

What, no Goobers?

Why must people be so insensitive about peanut allergies?

Saw a new little tackle shop half way to reservoir.
Stop in maybe tomorrow.
Could use a carp/ catfish rod.

You represent your fellow low achievers perfectly, keep up the good work and thanks for playing. Is blood kin the definition of a marital prospect down in the holler?
