I'm glad I have local businesses to patronize. This company sounds horrible.

Boycott all of Roark businesses listed in the article. Then add all businesses and products from Nestle's. There are plenty to choose from, at the end of the day, that are neither company mentioned.

But, I try hard to keep up, so as to not make even one penny of my money go to them. STAY WOKE UP AND VOTE BLUE

It's hard to imagine my local Subway becoming EVEN WORSE than it already is/was.

I stopped patronizing them after they refused to fix the air conditioning for the entirety of a hot Georgia summer (pre-pandemic, there was no supply issue for not fixing it). Not only because it was clearly miserable for the employees, but also because it's hard to believe the table coolers were keeping ingredients in the proper food safety range while the internal temperature of the room was 85+.

I wrote them a Google review, stating the AC situation was a complete deal breaker and only received a canned, ingenuine response.

A good reason to patronize locally owned shops and cook at home more often.

Tell me again. Is there any difference between unfettered capitalism and fascism?

How can the local owner be responsible when they are carrying out policies (including pay structures) set by the corporation?
