The store is organized as long, single alley, so you always have to walk through the entirety of it (how is this fire code compliant, I don't know).
Not really dollar store related, but IKEA also does this, with their weird maze stores where they funnel you through everything in the store until the checkout. I've never checked for fire exits so I'm not sure if there is one visible from anywhere, but it seems it could be confusing and the design of the store could force someone in the direction of the fire.
For all I know, they hired some Temple Grandin level autist to design this and make it safe while calming the niggercattle and making them buy stuff, but it seems at least odd.
On the more consoomer level, IKEA kind of is the goyslop of furniture but you generally know what you're getting for the price. I've bought stuff there on a few occasions, and never had a product fail directly, but wherever you install it is going to be its final resting place. You don't even try to move it because without disassembling it, it's not practical and it would be barely more expensive and much less hassle just to buy another one wherever you go to.
The locking cam they use to assemble the furniture allegedly can be undone to disassemble it but I've never been able to pull that off and reassemble it as good as new.
Anyway, definitely a consoomer product. That said if you've ever had to move suddenly to somewhere unfurnished it's pretty much a one stop shop to instantly furnish it.
For me, getting the tool to use once off eBay, especially hand tools is well worth it. Even if I hate how scummy it is
I buy toolsets like this for practically nothing, like the little screwdriver with all the goofy heads for doing things like opening up a laptop. I use something like this maybe once a year or so and will probably never use half the bits in it even if I live 100 years, so I might as well just pay $20 for a bunch of Chinesium.
