Crickets happens next...
Yes. I wish that I could say that supporting a local grocer or local chain will change things. Maybe for a little while but the generic brands that some grocer's have come from somewhere.
Yeah, there is no local food. Not unless it is direct from a Guy.
Local food is available in many places in the states without having to know a guy. It just takes a bit of driving around outside of the burbs and into the countryside. Even when living in a larger city, I knew where I could find produce and fruit stands. Just this season there was a house in town that had cucumbers loaded in a box with a FREE sign above. Last year I was also giving away stuff because I produced more than I could consume and store.
I used to support my local grocer. They were friendly, it cost a bit more than the grocery store but it was too convenient to walk past it after 2 minutes and then walk 10 more to the giant chain one near my house.
Then one day I walked past because it was busy, and a minor line, coronaronadingdong "social distancing policy" aka what I call the "awkward unnecessary paranoia policy", or simply "plandemic to destroy human gatherings in public policy" and I noticed on the side there was a van full of groceries from the major chain store. They were just marking up everything they bought there. I was still supporting the major chain but paying more.
So yeah, now I just walk the extra 10 mins and pay less. I'm fit and don't mind.. it was more the convenience but that just pissed me off.
Ma Bell called, wants to ask why it got broken up for a Monopoly if those things no longer matter.
Hmm... I have a feeling that there's sum ting wong.
