Fuck You, Starbucks!

I had an interesting night. My dad and I are visiting colleges, and after eating dinner out we were looking around for a nice place to have some dessert. We found this awesome teahouse, but we didn't find a lot of good dessert inside and initially decided to just head across the street to Dairy Queen. But as I was leaving said teahouse, I turned around and looked at what I was passing up. It was a really chill, relaxing place. There weren't too many people inside, and they probably needed as much business as they could get. Not to mention, it was a tight place!! And we were leaving it behind for what? Something sweet. Something sweet from Dairy Queen, one of this country's most successful chains in the food industry. Who was in more need of our support: this awesome little teahouse or Dairy Queen? And what would we really get out of going to this huge chain? Not much.

I realized as I was starring back into that teahouse that at DQ my dad and I would be buying just a couple blizzards, but we would be giving them more than just our money in return. We'd be giving them our souls. And so without a moment's hesitation I marched right back into that wonderful little teahouse and bought an excellent Chai Tea. (Fantastic, by the way.)

Was I any less happy for supporting the little guy? Would I have gotten anything more from the big chain, from the man? Of course not. In fact, I was more happy in that little teahouse knowing I'd done a good thing.

Imagine how great this country would be if we all did this more. Imagine how great this country would be if we all did this all the time. Instead of going to the big businesses that don't need more money anyway, go to the little guy! Slap the man in the face! Everyone will be better of, both you and them. And so I'd just like to wrap things up by saying piss off McDonalds! Screw yourself Dairy Queen! And (the worst of them all) fuck you, Starbucks!
