Family Dollar to Close Nearly 1,000 Stores Due to Economic Hardships
Family Dollar to Close Nearly 1,000 Stores Due to Economic Hardships
The chain has struggled for years. Its parent company, Dollar Tree, cited inflation, theft and reduced government benefits as challenges that had prompted the closings.
Every family dollar I've ever been to had 1 person running the entire store, and doing a rather shit job. Not that I blame them. Garbage everywhere. Pallets just in the middle of aisles are still syran wrapped.
Still - it's going to make Food Deserts worse
Yes and I live in one, and like one of the employees. She's always helpful and has a sunny disposition, and super helpful, despite the ridiculous amount of burden she bears. I complimented her on it, one day while berating corporate for that burden and not paying employees properly. She just agreed and said it's not the customers' fault so any problems she has, work related or* not, got left outside. I bet those well-salaried executives could learn from her.
Before we accept the *economic hardship" narrative, can somebody please let me know what their executive team is being paid?
Because I have a feeling they'd be feeling less "hardship" by reducing those numbers.
135million in 2022.
Most other executives were paid ~3million.
Do we have to accept any narrative? They're hardly doing anyone in the neighborhood any favors. Certainly nobody under their employment.
Hopefully they move out, and someone new moves in. Fingers crossed its local but I doubt it.
This is gonna affect a lot of people in poverty. It's not a store where shop, but I gotta believe there are people who rely on it.
Tons of small towns rely on their local dollar stores.
