Local loss, global lessons. Are big brand boycotts enough to save small businesses?
That coffee shop will now be missed by all who read this! And it was the perfect analogy of trying to support workers over corporations. So hard! But there is a movement as you point out.
Kit, I felt this deeply. I wish there were a neighborhood bookstore but even the big bookstores have disappeared. Sigh.
BIG sigh.
I’ve been boycotting Amazon, Whole Foods, Target, and Walmart for months now. Pretty much no pain.
Every day should be Small Business Saturday (and pay with cash if you can).
Try moving your Amazon/Walmart/Target apps to a back screen (out of sight, out of mind), till you can delete them altogether.
I am so sorry for your loss...our, collective, loss. Thank you for sharing your story!
