Where I grew up it was a very small town and poor. There was a Meijer (kinda like Walmart) about 30 minutes away by car. If you didn’t have a car your only real option was dollar general which was mostly highly processed foods

我成长的地方是一个非常小的贫困城镇。有一家 Meijer（类似于沃尔玛）需要开车30分钟才能到达。如果你没有车，你唯一的选择就是达乐，那里大多数是高加工的食品。

I live in a rural area, about 30 mins from the nearest big box store, and a dollar general just opened up near me like 5 minutes down the road. The crazy thing is they actually have a small produce section. I’m sure this is pretty rare currently and the stuff on offer is very limited and expensive. We’re talking like a few small bunches of bananas, a few small avocados, little cart of tomatos, and a handful of potatos. There’s also a few premade salads and fruit cups. They’re small and probably cost at least 40%-50% more than what you pay by driving to town to buy groceries. So on one hand it’s nice that the option is there but it also is yet another example of healthy options being way more expensive than the junk food that takes no time to prepare.

我住在一个农村地区，离最近的大型商店约有30分钟的车程，而达乐刚刚在我附近开业，只需要5分钟的路程。疯狂的事情是，他们实际上有一个小型的蔬菜区。我确定这目前可能非常罕见，而且提供的食品种类非常有限而且价格昂贵。我们谈论的是一些小香蕉、几个小牛油果、一些小西红柿和一些土豆。还有一些现成的沙拉和水果杯。它们很小，可能比开车去城里买杂货贵至少40%-50%。因此一方面有了选择是好事，但也是健康选择比不需要准备时间的垃圾食品更昂贵的又一例子。

As a truck driver, fuck dollar general. I will never shop there again. I arrived to their warehouse 2 hours early, they said I have to park and wait, I can’t check in until my exact appointment time. I had driven hard as fuck for 3 days to get there on time. I fell asleep and missed my appointment time by 15 minutes. So they said I missed my appointment time, and I had to reschedule. They rescheduled me for 2 days later. Ok, I fucked up and fell asleep, whatever. I check in at my exact new appointment time. Noone touched my trailer for 3 hours after appointment time. 6 hours later they unloaded my trailer.

作为一名卡车司机，我讨厌达乐。我再也不会在那里购物了。我提前2个小时到达他们的仓库，他们说我必须停车等待，我不能在我的确切约会时间之前登记。我为了按时到达开了3天的硬车。我睡着了，比预约时间晚了 15 分钟。所以他们说我错过了预约时间，我不得不重新安排。他们将我重新安排到了2天后。好吧，我搞砸了，睡着了，无论如何。我在新的预约时间办理入住。预约时间后 3 小时内没有人碰过我的拖车。 6 小时后，他们卸下了我的拖车。

I work in an Amazon yard, and live loads can usually come in a few hours early, get checked in, and just wait for the phone call. If a box truck door is open, we just put those guys on then and there. I mean, don’t show up 6 hours ahead of time (which I’ve had people do) ‘cuase now I’m going to get in trouble, but yeah generally just check in and hang out.

Now mind you…depending on the freight we might not have any room on the floor (literally) to unload you because we have no racking in our building…or the belts break….or night shift left days with a shitty hand off…but as far as checking in our building is pretty cool with it.

我在亚马逊的场地工作，通常提前几个小时可以进来，办理入场手续，然后只需等待电话通知。如果有一辆箱货卡车门开着，我们就会立即将货物装上去。我的意思是，不要提前6个小时到达（我遇到过这种情况），因为我会因此陷入麻烦，但总的来说，只需办理入场手续然后等待即可。 请注意，根据货物的不同，可能没有足够的空间（真的没有）来卸载货物，因为我们的建筑物没有货架…或者传送带出故障了…或者夜班离职时交接得不好…但就办理入场手续而言，我们的建筑物对此还是比较宽容的。

Just..if you’re running late have someone call and tell them, or its a No Call No Show…and that’s a hard NO to come in at that point.

如果你要迟到了，找个人打电话告诉他们，否则就会被拒绝。在这一点上，这是一个很难回答的问题。

I used to drive for them when Schneider was one of their carriers. Several times the stores wouldn’t even let me use their restroom after driving hours to get there. They are supposed to assist with unload at the stores. I’d show up & there would be one employee that had to run cash register so I’d have to unload myself. Which meant making me late to the next and me losing money because I wasn’t rolling. They are truly awful to the drivers.

当施耐德是他们的承运人时，我曾经为他们开车。有几次商店甚至不让我使用他们的洗手间，我开车数小时才到那里。他们应该协助商店卸货。我出现了，并且会有一名员工必须操作收银机，所以我必须自己卸货。这意味着让我晚到下一站，让我失去赚钱的机会，因为我没有开车。他们对司机真的很糟糕。

My dad long haul trucked for decades. He said he always had $500 in cash to pay whatever laborers were around to unload his trucks for him when stores were slow or incompatable with the task. Lol. He had some funny stories.

Dark turn, he’s dead. Everybody hug your parents!

我爸爸做长途卡车司机几十年了。他说他总是随身携带500美元现金，以支付周围的劳工为他卸货，当商店不忙或无法完成任务时。哈哈，他有一些有趣的故事。 可悲的是，他去世了。大家都要拥抱你们的父母！

Dollar General has taken over small town markets where people would have to drive probably 20 minutes more at least to get to a WalMart or other grocery store. DG is cashing in on those markets. AND the stores in smaller towns Jack up their prices, I’ve actually comparison shopped with my sister (small town) and myself in DGs at the same time, my DG is about 5 minutes away from WalMart. Hers is about 30 minutes from any other grocery store. Some of the items we looked at were $3 more expensive at her store. Everything was actually marked higher, $3 was just the most egregious. Lol

达乐已经在小镇市场占据了地位，而在这些市场上，人们可能需要多开至少20分钟的车程才能到达沃尔玛或其他杂货店。达乐正在利用这些市场。而且，在小型城镇的商店里，物价也会提高，我曾经和我姐姐（住在小镇）一起做过比较购物，我们同时在达乐购物，我的达乐离沃尔玛大约5分钟的车程，而她的达乐离任何其他杂货店都要30分钟的车程。我们看过的一些商品在她的店里比我的店里贵了3美元。实际上，所有商品的标价都更高，只是3美元是最夸张的。哈哈。

Dollar General is slowly but surely being litigated against in WV. It’s literally destroying communities and some of the communities are growing wise to it.

达乐正在逐渐受到西弗吉尼亚州的诉讼。它真的正在摧毁社区，而一些社区也开始对此有所警觉。

Good for you guys in WV! Hope you set a precedent! They’re a bigger cancer than WalMart was when they first added groceries (imo)

祝你们在西弗吉尼亚州好运！希望你们能树立一个先例！在我看来，他们比沃尔玛加入杂货时更糟糕（我的个人意见）。

-The_Credible_Hulk

They are and it’s due to the overhead. It costs very little to get a dollar general up and running compared to a Walmart let alone a super Walmart. And they are typically worked by one person at a time. They are a financial black hole for communities that are already not doing great.

是的，这是由于其开支。与沃尔玛甚至超级沃尔玛相比，开设一家达乐成本非常低廉。而且通常只有一人在工作。它们对已经不太好的社区来说是一个财务黑洞。

I heard the CEO crowing about how they profit most when times are hardest and people are struggling most. In the same story they covered how poorly the staff are treated (being forced to cover entire stores alone, low wages etc) and that most of the ‘low priced’ options there are actually not, they’re just smaller amounts that actually end up more expensive when compared to regular stores. I won’t shop there again.

我听说过 CEO 以盈利最多的方式夸耀，即在最困难和最需要帮助的人们中获得利润。同样的报道还提到了员工待遇不佳（被迫独自管理整个商店，低工资等），以及大部分“低价”选项实际上并不便宜，只是数量少了些，在与常规商店比较后实际上更昂贵。我不会再去那里购物了。

A friend of mine is the manager of a Dollar General and ends up being the sole employee in the building pretty often but I make almost twice what she does as a janitor.

我的一个朋友是达乐的经理，经常会成为建筑物中唯一的员工，但我作为一名清洁工却拿了她近两倍的工资。

They are also claiming to be more proactive about adding fresher foods to theirs stores to offer more healthy options in areas where there aren’t a lot. I’m sure that is just them trying to save face. It is a serious problem. When I lived in a poor area of Minneapolis the only places I could walk to were a sketchy bodega, a dollar tree and a cvs. The bodega occasionally had fruit and they all had milk and cheese but aside from that it was super processed (so was the cheese and milk tbh). I was fortunate that I was just young, not poor and had a vehicle to drive to a grocery store.

他们还声称会更加积极地向他们的商店添加新鲜食品，以在缺乏这方面选择的地区提供更多健康选项。我确信这只是他们试图挽回形象。这是一个严重的问题。当我住在明尼阿波利斯的一个贫困地区时，我唯一能走路去的地方是一个可疑的小杂货店、一家美元树和一家CVS。那间小杂货店偶尔会有水果，它们都有牛奶和奶酪，但除此之外全都是超加工食品（说实话奶酪和牛奶也是）。我很幸运当时年轻而不是贫穷，并且有车可以开去杂货店购物。

In case someone hasn’t mentioned it, definitely watch John Oliver’s segment on Dollar Stores. They suck for all the reasons mentioned in this thread, but for so many other reasons too.

如果还没有人提到，一定要看看 John Oliver 关于达乐的片段。他们之所以糟糕，是因为本帖中提到的所有原因，还有很多其他原因。
