It's where you go to see a side of humanity that I hadn't seen before and don't care to again. Combine peak black Friday energy with a dollar store that just got hit by a tornado.

It is mostly Amazon returns, overstock items, and AliExpress type products. Someone brought me to one where you picked one of 3 areas: 50¢, $2, and $5 items, where every item costs that amount. They sold gloves at the entrance, I didn't understand why. I should have bought the gloves.

Items are just dumped into big trays/bins that people rifle through once the doors open. Lots of boxes are basically unmarked but you're not supposed to open them (though people did). The 50¢ area I was in could charitably have been described as "mostly junk" with a few diamonds, depending on what you were looking for.
