Good that you don't. The article is politically driven (I wouldn't be surprised to find one of Dollar General's competitors wrote it) and socialist in nature. Your assessment is spot on.
You must really enjoying spinning everything into a political narrative 24/7. People will either go to a Dollar General or they won't, it's a business like any other.
Yea except for produce, suppose between mailorder and DG, you could get along. If you have land and water enough, suggest a garden though. I still havent seen any good cheap way to get produce mail order. The small rural grocery stores that still exist tend not to sell produce quickly so quality pretty low as they keep it way past date it would sell or be thrown out in bigger store.
They have DGs spread around that have fresh produce. Closest one to me is about 60 miles away.

I shop there, when I need something they have, and don't want to drive 20 miles to some other store. Not my favorite, but nothing against it. The article was written to cherry pick bad things that happened in (or even near) Dollar General stores, for the purpose of damaging the Businesses image.
In addition, it included disinformation about the neighborhoods Dollar Generals are located in, blaming them for political decisions made by city councils, sometimes years before the store got there, and then blamed the company for having a business model that worked in those areas.
It wasn't me that brought politics into it, the article did that.
Of the top stores by volume chain stores, DG is the 18th biggest chain by dollar volume of the top 100 chains in the nation. Far ahead of many of the so called high end stores.
I know about rural living. However, over the past few years, Dollar General has investing much by opening stores in rural areas? I know a few locations that do not have any other stores around them for at least 5 or six miles.
We have 2 in our deeply rural area. One sells produce.
They recently remodeled the closest one to me, increased refrigeration and began carrying produce but it seems a little pricey.
I do agree with OP though,they always seem to have the aisles piled with boxes of stuff that need to be shelved.

Despite the unemployment numbers, good help is hard to find.
