They used to be a small mom & pop themselves, and now they are big and arrogant and only look at the bottom line and go out of their way to run every little local coffee shop out of town. I hate this. I won't buy from them. They have demonstrated poor ethics.
And don't tell me these corporations have to do this so their stockholders will make money. Hogwash. Plenty of businesses are more ethically run and still make a profit.
Remember, it was the greedy robber barons who gave rise to unions.

That is just how it works kiddo. Businesses have to be tough to succeed. It isn't wrong, just competitive. It also saves all of the jobs for the folks who work for
that business. It's no baby game. When you are in competition, then you have to be ready to compete. It isn't greed. It is just how business works. If you ran the mall, and you turned down a big name like Starbucks to be nice, you'd be lookin' for work.
