The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This could be another sustained hit to margins.

DG customers are usually small ticket purchasers. I doubt they will be willing to pay anything for delivery or make larger purchases to avoid a fee. Or to pay monthly/annual fees like Amazon Prime customers.

It looks increasingly like dollar stores will no longer be the attractive business they once were. With the growth plans they have they seem not to accept the future reality.
