What happened to all the bakeries, butcher shops, cafes etc. I have asked tons of people : "Would you rather buy your meat fresh from a butcher or from your local grocery store even if it was more expensive" and literally everyone I've asked has said yes they would. Fuck Walmart, Fuck Kroger, Fuck Wegmanns, Fuck Publix, and Fuck Albertson's. Wouldn't it be better if everyone got their fruits and vegetables from their own garden and farmer's market, their meat from the butcher, their bread and sweets from the bakery etc. ???
What happened to all the bakeries, butcher shops, cafes etc...
YES
Depends on how expensive. I tried to patronize an old family operated butcher shop here in New York City, but stopped when I realized they were charging double the price of the supermarket for similar quality. Plus it's a separate trip.
you sound like a nostalgic boomer. you want a milk man too?
I'm surrounded by big box stores.
>fuck Kroger
>fuck Publix
Fuck you
I would buy milk from my local dairy farmer at the market
Cooking food well will always override a slight increase in the quality of the ingredient.
Most people don't have the money to do it.
The ones that do, don't have the time to shop for everything in separate shops.
People love to declare they'd support local stores, but they never do.
>everyone I've asked has said yes they would.
They're lying. That's why there are no bakeries and butcher shops. They didn't want to drive to multiple places around town. It's as simple as that.
If there was good urban planning they would be close together
Imagine having allegiance to a company, you stupid fucking American
gf's family's owned a bakery for years. just sold it. says theres not enough profit to be worth all the hours of effort
>Would you rather (...)
Everyone says it, nobody does it. Sadly it's as simple as that, otherwise these shops wouldn't have disappeared in the first place.
we still have them here although more expensive
>(((new york)))
>(((old family butcher shop)))
>(((double the price)))
did you get their last names?
This has happened in England.
My high street used to have two greengrocers, an off licence, a fishmonger, a butchers, a bakery and three pubs.
Now it has a Wetherspoons pub, a huge Asda nearby (Walmart) and the high street is now filled with kebab shops, paki food shops and turkish barbers.
99.999999999% of people want cheap shit and the convenience of having everything under a single roof. Customers dont know what they want.
Of course we do you degenerate faggot
We still have em here most people buy their meat in local butcheries and bread in bakeries
>bakeries, cafes
They still exist in the form of chain super companies
See: Panera Bread where thousands and thousands of rich retards go daily to spend money on overpriced "artisan" breads and coffee so they can experience their "everyday oasis" in the confines of a shitty Starbucks clone
>What happened to all the bakeries, butcher shops, cafes etc.
Luckily we still have all of those.
I know some folks who would buy stuff at Amish markets out in the boonies, but that's about it. Big box stores have been a parasite on small business since their insurrection.
Live in a small town. I do, and we have bakeries, butcher shops, fruit stands, etc. Neat little cafes right on the streets, too. We also have all the big box stores. There's a local dairy farm that you can buy milk, butter, and yogurt from and it's not expensive. No one wants to do business around niggers. Get out of the city.
There are still bakeries here, but they also serve as cafés, most people who want fresh bread buy the bullshit bake-off bread from the grocery store
People speak with their dollars, not with their mouths. If they wanted to buy from local grocers they would, but they don't.
Hey fuck you Public subs are amazing go suck a dick you little fag
When I was a teenager I worked part time at my local big box store and when I was In the back I noticed back behind the bakery area there were people unloading frozen bread off a cart. That cart was defrosted and after it dried it went straight outside under a sign labeled "fresh bread"
>No one wants to do business around niggers. Get out of the city.
this these things don't exist in (((big cities))) for very good reasons, let the goys eat their goygrub fuck them all they wanted the quality of a shitskin life and they got it fuck em all to hell
A local milk farmer came by my house trying to sell his product and holy shit it was the best milk I've ever had. Only downside is the guy was charging $6/gallon. Double the price of supermarket milk.
Because even though they can sell their products at a higher margin. They can't buy their ingredients cheaper. They also have no safety net.
If no one buys baked goods one month. Bakery goes out of business. Meanwhile Walmart still sold thousands of other products that negated any profit loss for the company. It only negated extra money.
>What happened?
Little shop owners get systematically attacked by the goverment with immense taxing and other laws, just to favor the big corporations to take over the.
>to take over the
*market
>goygrub
I'm laughing so hard rn
The only way to really make a profit is to be in a rapidly gentrifying area and sell to the childless, overpaid hipsters. Once they have kids, they no longer want to have to visit multiple locations to buy everything even if they can afford it. Saw the process in action in Denver and Nashville.
I call it Goyfeed. It started as goy food, but then I realized they consider us livestock.
You MUST be in an all-white (or so close to all-white as to not make a difference) area.
If you want those back you'll have to ban corporations.
Fuck corporations
lmao
In some part of Paris local shops are now closed because there is only airbnb tourists and not real citizens living there. Tourists don't buy food and cook so this kind of shops are replaced with fast food restaurants, clothes or souvenirs shops. They have invented some kind of fake shop looking like authentic ones to sell craps like candy to tourists.
If this becomes a pol meme, never forget that I started it.
yes
nigga BRINGS me milk everyweek
dont have to buy it
>shopping at the grocer jew
>Shopping
Good goy
In all seriousness, if people stopped buying useless shit they don't need, they could easily afford the type of quality food you'd find at these small stores
My department accounts for roughly 15-20% total sales for my store. Of that 70% of of the sales in my department come from the packaged meat/cheese section and the remaining amount comes from fresh meat despite accounting for nearly 80% of my budget. Not a lot of money in having a fresh case, user.
I don't think buying is the problem, more like spending.
People waste money on travelling, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, "going out", restaurants etc.
It's not like they get something substantial for they money, they're a generation of experiences, not owners.
Panera did similar things
Their "fresh" bread was made the day before you get it in their bakery and shipped out on a truck the next day to their stores. Oh and their "fresh" pastries and cookies were all frozen and baked off as needed.
I don't trust restaurants, bakeries, butchers, any of them because 90% of businesses slap the "fresh" label on shit and sell it to you for obscene prices because they can get away with it.
>What happened to all the bakeries
people are stupid and have no taste. They want to eat the expanded cardboard known as "bread" instead of get a real loaf of bread.
These are the same people that will sit there and argue you that the bag of preservatives is the same fucking thing without the fag tax and then belittle you and talk shit about you behind your back because you think your too good to eat what they do and you think your better than everyone else. (simply for buying a real loaf of bread)
Cheap always wins. The solution is to get rid of the FDA, so the cheap food gets so dangerous that people are hesitant to buy it if they can afford better.
Of course everyone will say that but if they actually meant it those small butcher's shops wouldn't have all gone out of business to begin with.
>real loaf of bread
I hope you grow all the ingredients you need for that "real" loaf of bread then because nothing you buy anywhere isn't chock full of preservatives meant to extend shelf life. So yes you are a faggot yuppie for paying the fag tax.
>because you think your too good to eat what they do and you think your better than everyone else.
But you do, and you are. If the peasants are upset, why care?
Not a commie here but thats just how capitalism look with globalization and corporations. There aren’t really any better alternatives so we just have to let it go.
Thats the end game.
If you live in a real city there are bakeries and delis everywhere with as much overpriced shit as you want.
It is expensive and often low quality.
In conclusion, kys you underage suburbanite faggot.
94.5% white up here in NW Montana. never lived in a better place. I used to live in Houston and it's chain store after chain store. No small businesses unless they're in the trades it seems. Only the mostly white areas down there have some semblance of "nice" about it.
>high street is now filled with kebab shops, paki food shops and turkish barbers.
Yeah that's not because of big grocery stores, that's because bongs are spineless retards.
Bro tons of people in america is literally like about 14 people go ask a few more.
How did the abomination that is white bread/sandwich bread/wheat """""""""bread""""""""" become acceptable in america? It's absolutely fucking awful, it shouldn't even exist in a first world country.
>have more income
>settle for "bread" that is worse in every single way when compared to what poor people eat in other countries
Because it’s cheaper and Americans don’t even know the difference
I have a butcher a short drive from my house and they serve excellent meat. I know it's fresh cause I've seen them buy cows while We're in line
>Fuck Publix
clearly you've never eaten an Ultimate
>eating meat
Nigger you are bluepilled as fuck.
Because I don't even wanna eat bread, I wanna eat chicken, lettuce and tomatoes slathered in buffalo sauce and mayo, but forks are gay.
Not true. Everyone I have ever known eats healthier breads. Literally the only people I see eating white bread is niggers and fast food eating retards.
People vote with their wallets.
Eventually there will only be one superstore that sells absolutely everything.
I'm so tired of those fucking mega shop centers
Wait, you pay that much for a milk? Wtf
>People vote with their wallets.
>Eventually there will only be one superstore that sells absolutely everything.
Well, that wouldn't be good for their wallet, would it?
Not a Boomer, genX, you sound like a child.
Did she need the dough?
