You make a good point... But it's also not black and white 100% or nothing. I can't rely on a small shop to funnel money back into my town, no, however it might provide just a little bit more. Again, the owner's boat and house has to go somewhere. If its here or nearby thats better than across the country.

In the news today a big box store is giving some money to some local environmental fund or something. The big box store probably broke a union if they're trying to garner good news though.
