Subject: RE: BS: Why no Tim Horton's here?
I hate all these multi-national chain store food and drink outlets and avoid them all like the plague. Why don't you go to your locally-owned and run place and support them unless you want to see every High Street in every town in the world look exactly the same, and be served the same crap by some poor minimum-wage sap who has no stake in the business and give your money to some vile greedy company with little or no ethics and far too much power/influence.

Perhaps you have fond memories of some friendly local food and drink outlet of years ago that was forced out of business by one of these multi-nationals, who can afford to run a branch at a loss for ages, ubtil there is no local competition. McDonalds, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks - they're all scum, in my opinion.
