Just going to the buisnesses that provide the best value for my money. The fact that someone is local does not mean they deserve my buisness. If they wish to have me spend my money at their buisness it must be because they offer the best value, that value includes price, service and convenience among other things. I am in a buisness that has competition from all over the world. If the products and service we offer in comparison to our competition do not measure up our customers will and should go elsewhere.
