Support your local restaurants. Don’t let these vampire platform companies enshitify your city’s food scene.

Local grocery stores have basically been extinct for decades- and realistically that isn't that surprising given they mostly sell commodity products. We don't need to let restaurants suffer the same fate.

Agreed. I'm super lucky in that we have a local independent grocery in our neighborhood. Prices are definitely a little higher than the big grocery chains, but the convenience of walking 2.5 blocks is hard to beat when I need something immediately (which turns out is fairly often).

What point are you trying to make? Seems like a failure of government to enforce monopolization laws than individual consumers.

Someone's defensive about a statement of the American populace.

Consumers are voters.

Restaurants are by definition food commodification.
