    Because... there's other stores within 50 miles of their locations.

    Evidence of your argument?

    So in a matter of minutes you checked the radius of all 10 stores listed and found grocery stores within 50 miles. lets not mention the fact those are across the whole state. not to mention some stores are over 200 miles apart.


    Yeah bullshit.

    And then lets get into the companies who subcontract to other companies and the level you need to know about each and every company to make that educated decision.....

    And then lets get into the fact that if I am able to use slave labor of some kind to get what I want and even if I get negative publicity for it, it still allows me to undercut my competition and puts them at a competitive disadvantage and when people are near broke, they don't have that option and are forced to go with the slave labor place.

    Do you ever get tired of being wrong all the time on this subject......
    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
    "mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

What little evidence you have provided for some of these arguments has been pointed out as erroneous or based on you misinterpreting the data. So no; the it's still your conspicuous absence of evidence.

    Yeah bullshit.
    There's more than 0 stores listed, they have dozens.

    Remember, this is your fucking claim, so the burden of evidence is on you.

    Yeah, bullshit.

    Ensuring people aren't paid less than they are worth is necessary force, sweaty. Or else you wouldn't be claiming that not supporting exploitative businesses is a virtuous thing.

    Or, are you supportive of such practices?

    I won't. By ensuring such businesses don't exist.
