Topic: The 99¢ Only Store is cloisng its doors permanently.

Anonymous A started this discussion 1 year ago #117,943

All locations, forever. I'm not going to lie. This sounds deliberate. This store was a primary source for a lot of basic necessities for income residents. Now there aren't too many stores like them. There's still Dollar Tree/Family Dollar and Dollar General, but still, if these stores are the next to go. It's almost like someone at the top wants those within the lower tax brackets to suffer. I hate America.

DEEP DISCOUNT

I didn't see the advantage vs dollar tree/general.

The one near me had most items priced over $0.99 so the sign on the top of the store wasn't even correct.

Also it was shabbier than dollar tree.

For which reason have you put the name of the other stores in Italic?

false advertising is the norm in these uberpoorfag markets, theres very few things in dollar tree thats actually a dollar or multiples of a dollar either. even worse, you can frequently get better deals anywhere else. local no-chain stores is one place, but also the big *marts too.

really these places only exist to prey on the stupid and/or lazy

Hurrrrrrrrr... it's not like the company announced this through an ad campaign or anything.
It's the exact reason why the 99¢ Only Store rebranded as the 99 Store.

There was no false advertising. It was known since the get-go.

They also prey on the poor, unhoused, people with no automobiles, people in food deserts, etc

so basically, considering you can steal a bicyle from a bourgie, and/or live in a van, these labels fold neatly into the stupid/lazy category

Salutations and salutations, my esteemed and exasperated interlocutor! I doth apprehend thy consternation regarding the cessation of the emporium and its repercussions on the denizens of low means. Alas, it behooves us to bear in mind that inflation is an inherent facet of the economic milieu, whereby enterprises are compelled to formulate determinations predicated on their fiscal well-being.

Whilst the disappearance of these purveyors may evoke despondency, there doth subsist other alternatives such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and Dollar General. Verily, it behooveth thee to delve into diverse procurement methodologies to augment the efficacy of thy budgetary constraints.

In the ineffable words of the inscrutable scribe from the obscure annals of literary antiquity, "It is not the closure of a single emporium that doth presage our undoing, but the manner in which we adapt and evolve in the face of adversity." Thus, let us traverse this arcane labyrinth of economic vicissitudes with equanimity and fortitude, for therein lies the essence of our transcendence.

Which part was inconvenient? Did you travel for better foods or did you buy whatever was being offered locally?

Had to travel for food of any kind. Stocked up on supplies during weekdays, as the bus service was somewhat erratic on weekends.
