Miss Doodle Mae: "During this time of uncertainty and anxiety, business activity at Jojo's Discount Dollar Store has been very steady. Unfortunately, the setbacks of a struggling economy and high unemployment have affected people from all walks of life. Nevertheless, Jojo is very pleased to serve a new and diverse influx of affluent and middle-class individuals bargain shopping with our financially challenged customers. However, our new caliber of customers seems to struggle with the reality of buying discounted goods from a common dollar store.

"This upcoming holiday season, Jojo and his staff are ready to make some adjustments to better serve his loyal and new customers. Chief Crazy Brother, our store display and operations manager, will produce and organize more diverse store and cultural events to entertain and educate customers.

"Jojo hired the unemployed deejays and emcees to enhance our customers' holiday shopping experience with soothing music and personal ambiance. Also, Congressman Smokey 'Robinson' McBride and the 'Deltonetics' will sing some soulful Christmas songs in isle 7 and 1/2 on Christmas Eve.

"Jojo believes our new customers will enjoy the Sausage Sandwich Sisters' store-wide holiday unity electric slide session for world peace, rent money and toys for tots.

"Back by popular demand are the Kwanzaa and Hanukkah squads, ready to culturally entertain and educate shoppers.

"Jojo's Discount Dollar Store's goal for this holiday season is to simply provide loyal and new customers a pleasant shopping experience. And the prices will remain the same—one dollar."
