Great location as anyone getting their vehicle fixed at Jon jons is going to need to shop at Dollar General for a while! ;)

I read something about stores like DG cutting in to Walmart profits. Maybe they have a policy of piggybacking WM locations.

A Dollar General proposed for U.S. 98 in Santa Rosa Beach, about a quarter mile east of Hunter's Road, is on the county commission agenda for the Aug. 9 meeting, according to the legal notices.

The town I moved from in Georgia had two DGs.
 
They added another one in the fair burg of Attapulgus so now they have three.

so this would be a problem, how? Let's not forget north of 98 between 331 and 393 isn't the classiest of areas.  This isn't beverly hills folks.  There are plenty of lower class people living south of the bay and they need an affordable place to shop.

Lower Class people? Really? Did you just say that?????

Are you kidding? You're not aware that this country is divided into three social classes (upper, middle and lower)? That's actually a very basic description as there are a few extensions of the middle class (working class, upper middle, lower middle).

They??? Like if someone living here in SW has less money than you then they are "THEY"?? I am assuming by the classlessness of your post that you are one of "Them".

you two have got to be kidding me.  Nothing I said in ANY of my posts has been a knock on anyone.  Like it not, if you make below a certain income in this country you are considered to be in the lower class.  That has absolutely NOTHING to do with that persons character, morals, etc.  You are both confusing the context of the word class.

I don't NEED to shop at dollar general, but i'm smart enough to know there is a good number of people in south walton that could really benefit from it.  I have no problem with it whatsoever, even if I have zero intention of ever shopping there.

Is saying 'upper class' 'middle class' or 'lower class' not politically correct anymore? :idontno: 

So, how would you say it?

Are you referring to me? Mind if I ask how you came to that conclusion?

How is that politically incorrect? Wasn't that the same justification used as to why we (supposedly) needed a Wal-mart?

I have shopped a bit at the Dollar General in Pier Park and all I have to say is you get what you pay for. I am sure there are some exeptions, but just about everything I have every bought from them has been subpar in some manner. I think tin foil is about the only product that I havent had any issues with. I don't take short cuts anymore and buy the real deal from Publix now.

 I sorta assumed this was someone trolling as a joke to get people riled up. It was just hard for me to believe someone would phrase things the way you did if it was for real.
:idontno:

My mistake.
