(30,754 posts)It is a dump. The merchandise is third rate. The store is dirty. Most of the workers are indifferent.
We lost the grocery store in our small rural community a few months before the dollar store came in. People go to the dollar store because there is nothing else. If we run out of one item, like toilet paper, there is nowhere else to go, unless we want to travel twelve miles one way.
I end up in the place about once a month. The rest of the time, I combine my trips so that I don't have to use the place.
For a long time, the parking lot had more craters than the moon. We have local man who rides a scooter because he cannot drive after a stroke. He was injured in the parking lot. There was a financial settlement. I know only that there was a settlement. His daughter told me the rest of it is confidential. But now their parking lot has been fixed.
I wish that eyesore and blight on the community would go away.
