      I am just imagining potential pandemonium if they started selling old Pokemon DS games. Note: Nintendo doesn't make DS games anymore so the only options available are paying hundreds of dollars for an authenticated copy, paying 30 bucks for a fake, and hoping it works (and then having it erase 220 hours of save-data like mine did, IT HAD MY FIRST SHINY and I have been playing pokemon for more than a decade), or just downloading an emulator and a ROM and playing it on your computer

      Hell….. most of them are in retail hell. There is no retail Heaven, not really, it’s a small place with a few stores that sold religious items just over cost for a couple years until the landlord raised their rent and they went under; let’s face it, any store selling religious items that stays open longer than five years isn’t run by someone wanting to provide people with religious items, it’s run by someone who saw a niche and has a high markup (or is a front for the mob with a lot of cash sales on the books despite a lack of moving inventory)……

    On my way to work (in Alabama), I pass a Dollar General on the right, with a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree combo across the street. I live in the city, but commute to the country. It seems backward, but I work an office job in an area where there are several manufacturing facilities. There isn’t much else way out there.

    Yep, that sounds about right. I remember in college I did most of my shopping at Dollar Tree for make-up and cheap food. Thos days it was a $1 and that's all I could afford to spend. Right now I feel lucky that I'm able to afford Walmart. On really lucky days, I go to Publix (clean floors, shelves, people what a luxury).

    I have to take my truck to Pep Boys. Previously, they'd had a service desk at the back of their retail store. But now they had a service desk in a space like an oversized closet, and a Dollar General had opened in their retail space. I immediately thought of this video, went home, and started checking my front lawn.

    In the last month, DeBerry Tx just opened a Dollar Tree/Family Dollar combo store. One building, one entrance. The building has both signs on it. There are two Dollar Generals, each a mile or less from the new store. Another Family Dollar Store about 4 miles down the road.

    The home owner character reminds me of a story about one of my friends. His small city has a family dollar and I believe a dollar tree and a dollar general supermarket close to each other but that's not the bad thing. When dollar general got in their overzealous store placements they put like 3 more dollars generals in his town and when they was talking about building another the city's citizens actually made a petition to tell city's higher up and dollar general no more and to stop.
