I am a relatively new vendor (with a company that occupies approx. half of an aisle) for 3 DGs in my area; any advice as far as working best with management? Are vendors considered a frustrating necessity? I ask the latter because, with my couple months of experience in Walmart, I feel like pretty much everyone hates that I exist, including the store manager. So far I like the Dollar General staff so much more, and want to do whatever I can to build the best working relationship with those accounts!

I do not! I work for a greeting card company, so expiration dates aren't something I have to worry about, thankfully.
