Suppliers, vendors, and wholesalers would much rather sign big dollar contracts with big name franchises that will guarantee to purchase much larger quantities than worry about the tedious work of dealing with issues concerning several smaller individual retailers. Seems to me that these large corporations have figured out how to use the clever costume of capitalism and the free market as a means to bring about a socialist environment in the economy that quickly stomps out any glimmer of competition.There's a quote from Billy Madison that may apply here. There is? Wow. Glad you didn't fucking share it.

Normally it's a good thing to exceed expectations. Apparently you have your head a lot farther up your ass than I always thought. However, the rest of us live in reality and have observed such things first-hand. So I guess what I'm really trying to say is "fuck you, idiot."
I"m not sure what this obsession with evidence is

So I guess what I'm really trying to say is "fuck you, idiot."Disagreeing with you = exceeding expectations in stupidity?I'm not the one that accused a company of being a style of government. Well as incoherent as your rambling was, that's the best that I could decipher in order to point it out. The rest is some kind of nonsensical notion that the mom and pop stores of 50 years ago are static endeavors that existed in their same form 100 years before then and will exist in the same form 100 years from now.
