    don’t forget ‘if you don’t like it shop somewhere else!’ most 'somewhere else’s available being premium stores or places doing the exact same thing

    yeah i’ll take my angry customership to target which already has digital tags, and costs more money or whole foods, which costs even more money

      ‘if you don’t like it shop somewhere else!’

      “Vote with your wallet!” feels especially hollow when the other choices were hollowed out and crushed by economy of scale tactics.

      Fortunately, where I am now, there’s a lot of good local food, including farmer’s markets and actual farms open to the public to buy things directly.

      There’s a McDonald’s and a few other such franchises here and there… but to my delight, most of the time, they seem nearly deserted. sicko-wholesome
