Do you support local businesses, /ck/?

>>9176603
no

>>9176603
NO

I don't go out of my way to do it, no

Only because I live within walking distance of my farmer's market. There really isn't that much difference.

yes

I live in a small village, there's a family-owned grocery store right down the street and the nearest walmart is 25 miles away

If I wanted to get fucked I'd head to Wholefoods naked with 'free range' sticker attached to my dick.

No. I support globalism.

Good ones, yes.

This means 2-3 takeaways, a garden centre/farm shop, and a few convenience stores that are actually convenient or offer something I can't get elsewhere.
When eating out or touristing, I'll got for smaller places because they have more character and variety than chains.

Otherwise, I hate my local area and want everyone in it to die.

No, they don't support me so they can fuck right off

no I support poor third world farmers and not some fat first worlder pigs

a racist in a community or racists really isn't making it any worse though is he?

I live in Hong Kong and my building complex is built on top of a mall. I'm typically too lazy to venture outdoors for food so I normally choose a restaurant in the mall. My choices are:
Banquet place
Soup place with no English menus
Local cafe
Local cafe fast food chain

The first two are nonstarters because I'm not going to be eating banquet sharing meals by myself and I can't read Chinese and asking the staff to read the menu to me is too embarrassing. The thing is, the local cafe is actually pretty crappy compared to the fast food place right next to it. However, the independent restaurant has more selection and bigger portions, so I probably eat at them both equally.

As for groceries; my old apartment was next to a wet market so I used to do all my grocery shopping there, but now I just go to the supermarket in the mall.

don't try to turn this around on me, baka

>>9176603
only because they're usually better than chains

>>9177374
It doesn't take much to ruffle the /pol/tards' girlish panties. If you mention you had a polite conversation with someone not 100% white, that's enough to send them spiralling out of control.

I haven't ever been to a farmers market. Is the produce supposed to be cheaper though because of the markup at the store?

>>9177456
a lot of "farmers" markets have the same people that sell produce to the grocery store selling it to the public at grocery store prices

just go walk through the local produce section before hitting up the market and you'll see what I'm talking about

>>9177456
The produce actually tends to be more expensive, but you're paying for better quality, locally grown produce that is fresher and tastes better than the bland crap shipped in from Mexico or South America or wherever that you get in the grocery store.

>>9177374
>everyone who isn't 100% politically correct at all times is /pol/
Everyone is a fucking racist on some level. Back to tumblr for you.

>>9177481
>grocery produce wholesalers selling at farmers markets.

At larger markets, sure, but those people are easy enough to distinguish from small and medium sized farmers. Most farmers are happy for you to visit their farm as well if you express a genuine interest in learning about what they're doing.

My farmers market has a strictly enforced rule that the products must be grown within a 50 mile radius by the vendor to eliminate the wholesaler issue.

Not to mention I just like to meet the people who make whatever I'm buying. it's nice to chat with business owners and get outside and enjoy something from a food truck in the good weather, not that anyone on /ck/ ever goes outside.

the guy said he cannot support a racist baker because he is racist, but also that he thinks everyone except an apiarist within that community is the also racist.
is it not easier for him to just move to the coast then try to boycott all of his neighbors?

Yeah I support my local McDonalds every day.

>>9176603
sure do. I get the freshest stuff there. Always buy raw milk, good eggs, seasonal vegetables and fruits and mangalizza ham for the whole week.

The produce in local businesses is just as awful as in chain stores

Am I safe in assuming English is not your first language? Maybe you need to brush up some more.

Why are you baiting and shit posting on ck when you could just go to /pol/ and flame the people you want directly?

>>9178262
Your posts are racially charged hate speech, how dare you pretend to be a contributor in good faith.

>>9176603
>Restaurants
Yes, a lot of locally owned places nearby with great food

>Farmer's Market
I would if they would stop setting up in inconvenient areas miles away from where I live or work

>Brewers
Sure, although the one closet to my house got an infestation of IPA hipsters, so the place has become rather intolerable to hang around. Still buy their lager at my local grocery though.

>Everything else
Depends on location, convenience, and cost.

>>9178287
Pssssst, if you drink craft beer it doesn't matter whether it is IPA or not, you're a hipster, pass it on.

LMAO. Fine, I'll keep brewing my ales and going to microbreweries when I go out for drinks then. It's laughable that you think anyone gives a shit that the only beer you think is drinkable are adjunct macros brewed to appeal to women during WWII. You literally have feminine taste in beer.
