    This isn’t a secret and it isn’t the 1800s where news of snake oil salesmen takes 5 weeks to reach the new world.

    You know all of this going into the store. You know that by shopping there, the smaller chains and local stores will leave. You know you’ll then be paying more and have poorer quality. You choose to support. You can also choose to live the same way you were and not make your life worse later.

    If the store wasn’t there the other stores would still exist. The store being there doesn’t prevent you from going to the other stores. You can make an excuse, but all you’re doing is screwing yourself.

      What you’re saying would work if in the only one shopping there. I’m not. There are thousands of people shopping there and you can’t control all of them. If I’m the only one sticking to my principles, I’m still screwed.
