Angry Dollar General employees at a store located in the small town of Eliot, situated in York County, Maine, plastered handwritten notes on the front entrance sliding door of the store that read they reached their breaking point of long hours and crappy pay. As a result, the employees walked off the job, and the store closed.

WMTW has since reported the store has reopened.

How many employees could a Dollar Store actually require or support?

Several full and part time just like their big brother Walmart.

General like Wally, wrings out every employee for every penny they can manage and not call it slave labor.

Employees are NOT stupid. That is the biggest mistake made by nearly all merchandisers. I love Dollar General because they have half a dozen stores located in area around WalMart.

I saw them unloading at the Dollar Tree here in town. I asked the two girls helping if they got any extra pay as lumpers?

Not a chance of that. LOL

Dollar Generals are what happens when Walmart has a litter of puppies.

Excellent...

Here in hills, Walmart moved in, ran off all local small stores, shop Walmart at their prices.

Now they are surrounded by half dozen Dollar stores that are eating Walmarts lunch.
