I have noticed a some fricking big deal businesses coming in here spamming not only in this area of the forums but in others too and trying to take business from the mom and pop businesses some of us run. Don't buy from them, us tiny businesses need the money worse LOL that is all, thank you for your time!
yes, defintely. I support mom and pop buisiness even offline where there aren't many options. It is much easier to support them online, though.
damn they just keep moving in on us!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am only buying clothes from you guys for now on!!
I agree and i try to do it on as many levels as I can. I shop at individually owned coffee places, not starbucks. I shop at individually owned mini marts, not 7-eleven. I eat at individually owned restaurants, if possible. Though, I am guilty of the fast food lunch thing - I'm sorry.
i wish we had a co-op here, there is an awesome grocery co op in chapel hill with a coffe shop, deli and cafe in it................
