It’s weird too because there is a burger place down the street from me that literally gets all of their ingredients locally. Buns from a local bakery, beef and potatoes from local farms, etc… A single patty combo with fries/tots and a drink is $13.79. Meanwhile down the street McDonald’s (I know McDonald’s doesn’t use Sysco but it’s the easiest burger comparison) is charging like $12.99 for a Big Mac combo that almost certainly has less beef in it and is nowhere near the same quality on any level in any capacity.
We are reaching a point where corporate overhead is so huge that it might actually bring back small businesses.
Except it won’t. Restaurant prices are rising rapidly, they are failing at an unprecedented rate, and we have more remote workers than ever who aren’t going to go anyways. It’s all f’ed.

Corporate owns everything so, unfortunately no.
