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

We say shopping at Whole Foods, Walmart, and Kroger.

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).

Restaurants are by definition food commodification.
