Times have certainly changed. Foot Locker isn't even a tenant of the beautiful Woolworth building in NYC any more. It used to have a sneaker store there. The building looks like a massively-tall church, a veritable Cathedral of Commerce:

Si, comprende.
I was just chatting with a friend that a supermarket chain up here (Market Basket) has the “EBT Eligible” signs plastered all over the Goya aisle in their stores.
Ridiculous.
One of my first on force.com service gigs was pulling the technology related equipment and dropping the boxes off. Good job and paid OK.
“Ridiculous.”
C’mon; our southern brethren are coming here to work, remember? /s
speaking of Woolworths, I loved that little store....I could do may entire Christmas shopping for 4 brothers and a sister and Mom and Dad there for $2-$ when I was a child.....best of times back then....
That sounds like a strip mall I would never visit.

DG is not a real dollar store. More like a $3 store like walmart. They will get killed by the walmart neighborhood stores that are popping up all over.
Oh yes...work, work, work!!! Si!!!
The PJ wearers I’ve seen are typically Caucasian.
Here it is a mixed bag (as the Anglos fade away); northern NJ is becoming very Hispanic.
I think so-there are two-Family Dollar is one of them-just over 1/4 mile from each other-in the dead tourist community of maybe 500, that has a general store/grocery as the busiest place-just the same, thanks, Obama for making this community a dead zone...
I just echoed your sentiments...
And that is fine-we do not want any more of his “care”-he’s done enough damage...
We have one Dollar Tree reasonably close to my home. Used to carry some great food items but lately their cupboards are generally bare. Manager says they only restock on Sunday evening, can’t get a lot of things they order and by Tuesday everything is gone. Still is a great place to get greeting cards, seasonal or holiday stuff and some cleaning supplies - just no food.
They can’t close MY Dollar Tree. They sell my favorite Louisiana hot sauce there.

I remember walking through the local 5 and dime and just being entranced with the counters full of different purses and changepurses. loved all the different items. I did my family shopping there.
I have a similar count on those stores in my area but most of them seem to be well-patronized.
I live in the boonies-it is over 25 miles to the nearest Walmart for me-and that is fine-we all like something different-if I wanted a big box store next door, I’d live in a city...

How do you make pricing mistakes at a dollar store?
I have fond Christmas memories of shopping at Woolworth’s as well. As a kid, your spending money went a little farther.
