supporting small businesses is always better than supporting big chains

lemme tell u as someone who worked for a small business for 3 years and besides raising wages to align with minimum wage increases and the 3 month raise after training.... i only got 1 real raise and it was 50cents. 
i was gonna quit but my friend asked the boss to dock his wages 50 cents and give it to me.
so after 3 years when i quit, my wage was 15.75 when minimum wage is 14.60
:)
no benefits or anything.
and also during covid we stayed open cuz we're an "essential business" and our hours were cut in half and we didn't get any hazard pay or raise, and all the owner's friends are anti maskers so they refused to wear masks (even after it was mandated), and no real safety measures were put in place.

small businesses only matter if they pay their staff a living wage! otherwise they deserve to go out of business.

ok ur turn

small businesses are most fucking definitely not always owned by good people lol

People seem to think that conservative ideas are always more rational and mature and that's just not true at all?

the fact that what is considered conservative is so different in the US and Europe only proves this, its not one mindset and not one thing that can always be right

noooooo lmfao the owner at my old work is anti vaxx and believes in chemtrails and also i assume anti mask cause all her friends vocally are and go to all the anti mask protests
that places attracts the most woowoo-y people, once a woman started yelling at me cuz she was spreading false information about masks and i was like ma'am shut up but in a friendly way then she was like "YOU CAN'T BREATHE!!!!!" and i was like "i can breathe just fine, thank you."

also once the owner had a pee sample for a lab she put in the freezer (where we literally keep food for the restaurant) and she expected staff to handle it lmfaoooo can't stand her.
