>another 10-25 cents more per thing they buy at dollar general because adding a tax to it tried to justify the plastic

In fairness, there is absolutely no way Dollar General is going to continue to source your product if it starts costing an extra 10-25 cents more per unit. You'd get cancelled quicker than your average Netflix Original.

If you think the Walmart process is bad behind the scenes, you definitely don't want to see how the Dollar General sausage is made. I'm pretty sure you could count on a switch to aluminum and paper containers in Dollar General fairly quickly.

They'd probably even market it as, "Eco Friendly".

They really are shameless.
