I believe that is called being a Capitalist.
As a Capitalist, i want to get the "mostest" while paying the "leastest". I have a difficult time sacrificing either or both to "localism".
Where a local store can excel is in service. Unfortunately, a lot of our local stores don't seem to care about that either and i feel that this lack of service attitude is a larger cause of small businesses failing than mega corporations.
I found this especially true with our local photography store. It is too bad, but the have communicated clearly that they don't want my business, but Adorama does want my business and gives me excellent, albeit, remote service.
