Reply #56: A foreseeable consequence

[jobwithout]

This is what happens when people stop supporting their communities economically. For every dollar you spend at the big box stores (yes including Costco) and from online merchants like Amazon, you take another dollar out of a local or potential local merchants hands.

When you spend your dollar at the local merchant some of that money goes to paying the employees of the merchant who in turn can spend their money locally and any profit that the merchant makes can stay local. I'm tired of people sending their dollars to corporations that take their profits and send them back to their corporate head quarters.

I will never again:

Buy from an online store
Buy from a big box store
Buy from anyone who only has a 1-800 number
Buy from anyone who doesn't keep their profits in my community

I will
Support my local merchant
Keep my tax dollars here so I can build a better community
get over the fact that I can save 13 cents by buying from a big box store


What do you intend to do?
