Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.
I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.
And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.
that was of course the original assignment by OP!
I am with you, although I don’t understand the logic of movie theaters. The ticket is stupid expensive, the food is even worse, and then the quality of both the movie watching (if you get a bad seat) and food is absolutely terrible.
I haven’t visited since Everything, Everywhere, All at Once (2022), where before COVID I’d go about once a month. Some of it may be due to movies being duller these days, but the vast majority of my reticence is the terrible experience and cost/value ratio.
