I was in an area like that once. It felt weird. Like I stepped into some alternative earth history where the franchises and chains all had different names. It was basically the same items for sale however.
Idk…local independent shops aren’t necessarily cheaper. There is a local coffee shop somewhat by me and it’s more expensive than Starbucks. Independent places don’t have the advantage of mass scale like the big name fast food and chain places do. When I go independent, I often find myself paying more money for less convenience. So it’s not even just convenience that you’re sacrificing
This I can actually weight in on a bit. They have their recipe under full version control and plant operations can only adjust it slightly without HQ doing an override. Not their air waste handling however, that is under local control.
Yeah, support a local sandwich shop.
Probably won’t be much cheaper but it’ll be ten times the quality.

Luckily the downtown in the city where I live doesn’t allow chain restaurants so I have many options for decently priced food.

Also how else is the roof of your mouth going to get tougher without starbucks sandwiches?

Coffee will be better as well. Starbucks burns their beans so they can guarantee the same “quality” flavor at every location.
