I think bammie envisions an economy where retailers will be paying their customers (read "the poor") to take inventory off their hands.

(showing my age)... back in my childhood, my mom used to call Woolworth’s and the like, “the dime store”.

i just came from the 99 cents store in downtown L.A. (aka little mexico), and the people (mexicans) in front of me were using their EBT cards like it was Christmas. $29.76 was their bill and I just came in for the 99 cent dozen eggs and 3 liter pop for the same price.

I am sure I worked for my $2 bux.

Dime stores, dude!

Dang inflation! They were called “five and dime” stores when I was growing up (walking up hill in three feet of snow both ways to school, etc.)

Bring back the Five & Ten Stores!

The real problem with dollar stores is inflation. In 3 years they’re gonna all have to rename themselves “$5 Stores”.
