You can find more interesting things at a flea market or a radio/ham fest.
The purpose of the DG is not to find interesting things.
Its 8:00 p.m. your out of milk, you just remembered you need a card for your pregnant co workers party tomorrow and your kid just told you her science project is due tomorrow. The closest store that is not a DG is closed and the wal mart is 25 miles away. You go to the DG that is 2 miles away, has everything you need, almost and is open until 9.
The FED- EX truck couldn't make it up my steep logging road/driveway when the road was snow/wet/slippery, so i asked them to drop my packages off at DG in Glendale, small town about 6 mile from my home. It worked out fine, & i picked up a few other items i needed...

I've had problems with delivery trucks in my driveway, too, even after having a large load of gravel delivered. I wish the delivery trucks had AWD like I do. It made a big difference after I got my first 4WD vehicle, followed by an AWD vehicle. I'll never go back to 2WD.
The Drug Mart store in town recently had Amazon lockers installed outside. They have a surprisingly large selection of items there. I can get almost everything I need.
Just a dumb question here from a city kid, where is the middle of nowhere?
How is it different from somewhere?
Who would want to live nowhere? If it is nowhere and no one lives there, why put a store there?
Help me out friends.

Meaning too sparsely populated to support a Starbucks every 100ft.
Seriously big box stores that most shop at anymore require a certain population density to be profitable. You have a $100 day at some small mom and pop shop, you might survive. Your typical mega Walmart wont. Dollar General is much smaller store, and yea even they cant survive on $100 day. But they dont need the density or amount sales that a Walmart does. Walmart found out when they were pushing to replace all their smaller older stores with the mega version that many smaller towns that could support a small Walmart couldnt support a 24/7 mega Walmart. So they open, they close, and you drive 50 mile one way to next closest Walmart, cause Walmart put all the local small biz out of biz and nobody else left.
For those that dont understand retail, a small independent Mom and Pop biz has no buying power, many times they pay as much or more wholesale as the big box stores can sell retail. Frankly few are going to pay twice as much as they have to for an item. Any small independent only gets sales from those like elderly or on welfare, without transportation or that just want an item or two without driving to "the big city". Not enough sales to stay in business.

Yep, i've driven 4x4 or AWD vehicles for the last 7 lustrum. I had 3/4 minus shale rock put on my logging road. Some UPS & Fed-EX make it up just fine, but some are very gutless, won't make it to the top...
