"Who cares if all the local independent stores got killed by giant chain stores? Chain stores are cheaper anyway!"
You would not believe the percentage of times someone says this whenever I bring up why chain stores suck. How's that Loblaws bread tasting these days?
It drives me insane that people never stopped to think about this. In my country we have arrived at a point where there are no independent grocery stores left, only a massive duopoly, with a third large international chain hanging onto like a few percent market share.
All 3 of them suck in different ways, prices are crazy high for the quality of food they offer, but there isn't really any choice anymore. And since only two chains share practically the entire market, their own store brands are choking the life out of our food industry, lmao.
