Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.
I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.
And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.
I actually experience the opposite.
Theaters have great movies, indie films, and showing old movies again. Everyone has been super respectful, and there’s been a few renovated theaters around me. And tickets (at the one I go to) i think are 8 or 10 dollars if you pay cash. The fancy theater is like 18 but I dont go there. Even the renovated original theater is only 10 dollars and has recliners!
And I dont even live in a city. More of a town.
I hope the trend of showing old movies continues for a long time. It gives people the opportunity to experience what it’s like to watch good classics on a big screen.
