    Jon Oliver did an episode on them, the whole company is a shit show.

    They fuck over consumers by selling small volume at insane price per unit/quantity, and treat their employees like abaolute shit. Like, ridiculous levels of understaffing to the point huge deliveries show up in the middle of working hours with one employee in the whole store.

    It’s why every dollar store looks like a warzone.

    How is one person going to do everything?

    So like, an inverse of the Costco model?
