That's actually a tough one. There was a homeless man that came in on a December morning, he stole a can of Vienna sausages and I confronted him about it and told him not to worry about it but not to do it again. He had a military ID and was a Vietnam Vet, I let him sleep in the break room with a heater for for a few hours.

Considering as I'm only 22, I sure hope so, my friend is lending me his books which give a crash course in programming. Retail itself isn't bad money-wise when you get into management, but the long hours and slave labor that comes with salary isn't worth it unless you land at a big retailer, like Walmart.

I assume like any retailer the product is so cheap because it's bought in massive bulk quantities (DG has around 20,000 stores to supply). Product is delivered VIA truck and comes on Roll-Containers and some come in singles, like toilet paper. TBH, most of the products that aren't food are made in China, so you can probably guess why it's cheap.

Dollar Tree is the store where everything is $1, we but still have over 2,000 items that are $1 and under. I can't speak for the profit on core merchandise, because even I don't know. Vendor items such and Milk, Bread, Beer, Chips, Cigarettes are all really really slim around 15-25%. The biggest steady seller for a single item would have to be cigarettes, around 600 packs a week sold at my store.

Normal starting pay for managers is 34-40k and is negotiable to some degree. I'm in that range. I know another manager that's been with Dollar General for 15 years and gets paid 80k. Your pay depends on the size of the store you manage, location, and time with the company. You also get bonuses but I split those with my crew.
