Okay who can't agree with this sign?

55. Looks like a coke machine in the background.

All I'm saying is, unless these folks are making their own soda, ketchup, cups, etc, you're still supporting big corporations. That's just the nature of things. The only venue I can really think of that is an exception might be a farmer's market.

I should also point out that at one point, Mcdonalds, Walmart, and others started out in the same boat as this business. How many stores can this person expand to before he/she is seen as no different from any other chain? It is a rare person indeed that has the ability to grow, but turns to him/herself and says "I have enough". Greed is the true human condition, and corporations are proof, not exceptions.

I support local/small businesses as well, I just don't delude myself into thinking that the BK down the street is any less important to its employees than the locally owned frozen custard stand is to its employees. Business is not black and white.
