I don't believe anyone ITT has explicitly disparaged dollar stores, OP

Are you just assuming as much because people compared dollar stores to you?

Dollar stores are actually predatory and play a major role in accelerating the decline of low income areas op

Description:

The quote special operator just returns object.

The consequences are undefined if literal objects (including quoted objects) are destructively modified.

Are you attempting to destructively modify literal objects, OP???????
