    Also, those inexpensive (non-food) items are lower quality and will wear out/break faster. Poverty charges interest…

        Terry Pratchett truly told it how it is. I’m so happy I got to read him in high school when nobody else in the mainstream was writing nuanced takes on gender expression.

          I really am sad I didn’t get that experience. My teenage self would’ve loved discworld. And had I been able to read the shepherds crown when I was 18 (idk if it was out yet then) I think it would’ve broken me in the way I needed

      Even the food items are sold in crazy tiny portions that in general, but not always, are a rip off compared to most other stores.

        It’s amazing what you can get away with when you operate a store in a food desert!

      Oh that includes the food. I once bought “American cheese” from a dollar store that wouldn’t melt. Never bought food from a dollar store again.
