The is Dollar General . . . X. What is X here? The number ten? Ten as in a dime--you know--hour glass curves, Baywatch blonde hair flowing in beech breeze, bathing suit bikini, this place is SI swimsuit addition hot compared to the store next door GD? Is it for my generation, the grown cohort of latchkey key kids of the 70s/80s thinned out by the birth control pills and smushed between larger populations of boomers and millennials? No its the latter generation the DG wishes to charm with this rare letter. Is it to X-out the Dollar General in some awkward fake, merchandising attempt at self-depreciation to lessen the ire produced by moving into a gentrified neighborhood? This, yeah this.
For DG moving to High Street front of the Cbus Commons downtown was rife with faux controversy and lazy internet angst. I say that with a bit of cognitive dissonance; for all my distaste for pretentious virtue signaling there is loads of justification for fighting DG's move here; their stores are infamous for sucking poor neighborhoods dry, for toxic workplaces, and for disregarding cleanliness. Would X mark the spot for a change to align with the taste of the downtown gentrified millennials?
I have to say yes, yes it does,
For this is the sharpest, spaceful aislest ( just pretend it's a word--gees) Dollar General store this side of Mercury. Wow, the place is perfectly front-forward, meaning every single product is at the shelf edge and parallel to its neighbor. Perfectly clean, organized, and aligned. There isn't loads of cheap crap filling the aisles here like there is in the ghetto, or small town Ohio. Oh no, this place is actually easily walked through.
Items not found in your usual DG in Include produce ( at higher prices than other places,) ready to eat wraps, and craft beers.
If DG can do it here than there is no excuse for there other stores to be a dumpster fire, mixed with a sewage geyser, run by zombies that yaven't slept in eons. No excuse. I am no snob, but still, everyone deserve a half decent place to shop. If 5hey can do it here in the high rent section then they can do it everywhere. No excuses. read more
