Did The Recession Create A Dollar Store Bubble?
Just gave it a try my self and just got an I’m sorry.
No free coffee for me.
Dam am I stupid I commented on the wrong post!
sorry, but even the promise of freaky nekkid sideshow chicks strolling the aisles wouldn’t make me want to shop there. if you can’t bring yourself to dress up to walmart-caliber standards, do the world a favor and learn to shop from home.
this article makes me sad.
Dollar Tree wares are infinitely more practical and aesthetically pleasing than those people attempt to knit themselves, so at least they’re not at the absolute bottom of the fashion barrel.
People dress up to go to Wal-Mart?
Wait. This is really old. I am pretty sure I posted the same thing on my blog a while back.
I was at Target looking for king size pillow cases [they sometimes have 'em], and two women were looking at stuff, and one goes ‘what’s a dew-vette cover?’[looking at the duvet covers]. I giggled a bit, but then felt bad for being snobby.
Is that wrong?
giggling, no. feeling bad, yes.
“People dress up to go to Wal-Mart?”
It’s probably like church, another place to go to compare clothes with your peers.
Hey Bon Jour, this wasn’t the Target in Mt. Vernon, NY, was it? I heard somebody say *exactly* the same thing there last Saturday. Although, now that I think about it, somebody probably says that every Saturday at some Target somewhere.
I also heard a lady talking about how her son never ate baby food, just yogurt, milk, and juice.
Goddamn right. Fuckin Walmart shoppers think they are so high and mighty …
dthw: agreed
Nope, it was here in Denver.
