  Hard to unionize when you’re the only person working the store.

  But yes, the company is also anti-union.

  This is true, but Dollar General also tends to move in after the economy is already hollowed out. You used to have vast distribution networks of local merchants and independent businesses. Now everything flows up to the Waltons and Bezos and Dollar General licks up the scraps.

    Indeed but Dollar General is just worth mentioning specifically because the rate they do it at is larger per their revenue. Like if you live in a small town and hear DG is trying to set up, seriously fight that shit.
