This can't be reiterated enough.

These store provide a lifeline for a certain segment of the population. Without these stores, one store in particular, there would be a lot of instability in society as we transition from a mostly middle class society to something a bit more bipolar.

Inequality is real, and these kinds of stores go a long way towards making it tolerable. Now I can't put a dollar value on that, but it has to be worth something.
