I'm a fan of doing business locally for this reason. People tend to treat you better when they know if they piss someone off enough that person could take a baseball bat to their car. Joking aside, small local companies tend to care about reputation. You are 1 of 1,000, not 1,000,000. Your money constitutes a significant portion of their profits. Unfortunately, it seems like every day there are less small businesses to do business with.
