In almost every Town in Northern Maine.

Some are even a hazard to Customers. Think of the junked-up isles of carts because they understaff stocking & cashier.

At least the ones I've been in, cashier and stocker are the same (1) person. They always have a bell to ring when you're ready to check out, and I always feel shitty about ringing it because I know I'm putting them further behind.

The Dollar General "Customer Experience"

One person is the business model for their profits.

$1 Million is NOT Enough ... It MUST be $1 Billion ... Millions is so out of fashion.

F Consumers F Workers ... Bow to Wall Street Demands

Sad part is I thought that was halfway decent pay. This was like 2015-2016

Things have been made so out of whack in Wages & Compensation since the 1980's that now it's all fucked.

Compare Executives Wage & Compensation in 1950's and 2010's

Compare Worker Wage & Compensation in 1950's and 2010's

They've ruined capitalism with their YOLO greed.

It's not just northern Maine. There's one every other town between Lewiston Auburn and Augusta.

One in Greene, one on Monmouth, one in Manchester.

The midcoast town I grew up in, that had never had a chain business of any kind, got a Dollar General a few years ago. Felt like another nail in the coffin of my childhood.
