The dollar store is a funny place. Not funny, "Ha Ha", more funny like, "what the hell am I doing in here?" The dollar store is definitely a place where you can make some wise purchases and save some cash. There are a handful of items in the store that are super bargains like paper towels and cleaning products, but there are definitely some others, we'll call them "the majority", that you want to steer clear of; like say, pregnancy tests. That's right. The dollar store, at least the dollar store I know has...pregnancy tests. My question here is, why in the world would you ever even fathom buying a pregnancy test, a test which the outcome holds so much weight on the rest of your life, on an item which costs one dollar? Don't get me wrong, I'm not rich. But if I was a lady, and some dude potentially knocked me up, I think I'd check my couch cushions for a few extra nickles to buy a legit pregnancy test. That's all I'm saying, because what happens nine months after that one hundred cent test gives you a negative sign and all of a sudden you're holding an infant and you're like, "what?!"
Here's another little interesting phenomenon about the dollar store. When you're in the dollar store, no matter how often you patronize said business, if and when you run in to someone you know, you always act like it's the first time you've been in the store. You at least act like you only go there as a last resort. The winner in a scenario when two people who know each other as acquaintances bump in to one another in a discount store is the person who successfully convinces the other that they frequent the store less frequently. But if there is one thing you'll take from this lecture, let me shed a light on you. When two people run into one another in a dollar store, and both buy cans of pork 'n beans, go home and consume them, no one wins. Unless of course you equate victory with projectile diarrhea. Enough said.
