if you have recently been in rural parts of the us of america, you would already know that shopping elsewhere is at times, even in current year, at best a convenience, at worst the only option there. some even carry produce and fresh meat. when money is tight, or time, you may be able to walk to a dollar general, but not to the nearest grocery store.

this is not praise for dollar general, there are plenty of issues. but you have missed or omitted important details, as to why dollar general may know something you do not.

I think this is why some have liked it to the poverty tax. being poor is expensive in and of itself. ironically, you pay more.
"dollar general may know something you do not."

In light of the fact that they just lost a third of their market capitalization overnight, they clearly have more to learn.

don’t we all?
