The comparison is inapt. Are you willing to pay for Ralph’s brand beans when you can chose from several solid walls of Ranch Riders (both regular and bar-b-que flavors), stacked five feet high, or Quality Select (two to a package)? And when will Ralph’s ever stock matching Dukes of Hazard finger and toe nail clippers; pink clip-on ties (in size small and extra large only); Surf ‘n’ Sun bubblegum flavored lipgloss; 12-Piece String of Glowing Plastic Chilis; or a digital egg timer which plays a popular tune when your egg is ready (battery not included)?
Marguerita Nakoli begged Idi Amin to allow dollar stores the option of reducing their wares to 99¢, so that the people could more easily afford Play Time mini badminton rackets (for indoor fun), Martha Stewart reversible Expert Chef aprons, combination soap dish/toothbrush holders with suction cups for convenient placement, or three-season natural wood spice racks with potpourri included? Amin refused her request.
Need I go on? The time to press our cause is now.
