Supporting Local Business Such as Coffee Shops ets Is For People Who Can Afford It
I would love to support people who pour their life savings into a business such as a coffee or juice shop, but I simply do not have the money to pay the prices that are listed to compete with other corporations. It's sad they have to charge $6 or more for a simple coffee and I paid $20 in ABQ for "fresh pressed juice" and it wasn't even pressed in front of me. My main point: Local businesses have to charge so much money to stay afloat which leads to the community realizing they need to pay a little more to enjoy someone's business and I'm not in the financial position so I almost never support local shops because of how cheap it is to get a coffee or sandwich from a set-in-stone "guaranteed satisfaction" style business that is a corporation. Subconsciously I don't even know if I would pay the prices if I had a better salary, I might just be a cheapskate. I wish local business owners the best, because I know they don't want to charge so much. #conversation source
