My experience with Dollar General. From the looks of it, not the same as yours.

I have been shopping at my local Dollar General for about 5 years. And, you know what? I like it. My criticism about Dollar General is that it's a scaled down store; I call it a supplemental store. I would like a bigger one. I appreciate the Manager that we have. I know he works very hard. Granted, I cannot get fresh meats, vegetables and fruits because it's a scaled down store. But, I do have other access to such. But, I can get USDA inspected (very important to me) hamburg. As well as frozen chicken, ham steaks, hot dogs, tons of pre packaged cold cuts and tons of other types of meat, breaded chicken, crab cakes, 3 different types of meatballs, etc.. A large selection of cheeses. And, albeit frozen or canned, I can get every imaginable vegetable, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, carrots, corn, spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, etc.. Plus a ton of different cereals and other breakfast items including bacon, sausage and eggs. Baking goods. Coffee and tea items. A ton of snack items; chips, etc.; snack cakes, etc.. Plus they have a good supply of ice cream products, and other frozen desserts, and a ton of other frozen items like French fries, breakfast items, frozen meals. And, well, the only thing they don't have is fresh meats, vegetables and fruits. I, mostly, literally, do most of my food shopping there. And, I eat very well. As well as get all of my cleaning supplies there. I grew up in a retail environment and I have worked, outside of the environment that I grew up in, in retail. And, I can tell you -- it's a lot of work! So, my suggestion would be to leave us that need, like and appreciate Dollar General alone and if you don't like it -- leave (please)!
