Comments:
- John Oliver promotes awareness for work reform.
- Highlights systemic corruption in dollar stores.
- Calls out unsafe conditions and human rights abuse.
In the case of Dollar General and Family Dollar, it never has.
Dollar Tree, the last of the the actual dollar stores, has their prices set at $1.25 and are starting to add $3 and $5 items in their stores. It's the only dollar store I will even go to. The rest are a ripoff.
Perhaps, I find the quality at Dollar Tree to be worse than say, Walmart, and sometimes even more expensive. I don't have any practical use for dollar stores.
I only go there for canned goods and other food related items. That stuff is still pretty decent.
You buy food at these places? Oh my gosh, did you not watch the John Oliver video? rats. rats. rats.
