Vanishingly few places in the US have this density of small provisions vendors. I’ve been lucky enough to live in several, but it’s certainly become a privilege.
Oh come on, there’s got to be a dollar general somewhere at the end of your driveway.
For those that don’t know, Dollar General is an infestation of a chain store. They are almost ubiquitous in small rural towns. They can act as an old time general store selling everything from candy, to clothes, simple household goods, and milk and a few other more shelf stable groceries. And it’s all of less quality than a temu steak. They are also ineradicably poor employers. With low pay, no benefits, and worse staffing.

they almost exclusively exist in poor places, where their competitors die off from lack of customers with money and high operating expenses.
