I truly believe that we should try and support local establishments over giant retailers when we can, even if prices tend to be a bit higher (understandably given the clout that giant retailers have in negotiating bulk prices).
However, I refuse to support a local establishment that has 0 pride to keep itself even moderately clean. As part of my daily routine I walk by this place and very often notice trash strewn everywhere. There has now been a broken bottle for 1-2 weeks directly in front of this store that no one has picked up ! I don't know if it is the owner's reponsiblity or the employee(s), but apparently neither wants to take responsibility for maintaining its own property. And for that reason alone, I will never, ever purchase anything from here again. Unless or until they start respecting themselves and their neighborhood. read more
