I shop from small businesses when it’s more convenient (which is actually more common than you’d think when you don’t have a car).
Mini markets are closer than supermarkets and stay open longer so I’ll often get groceries from there even if it’s more expensive.
When looking for a specific piece of equipment there are some things that can’t be delivered or they’d take an eternity to arrive so I find which stores sell it and go to the physical store, which is usually a smaller local place.
I don’t know if thrift shops count as small businesses but they’re also more convenient than going to big clothes shops.
And I guess most restaurants are local businesses too.





I saw a comment recently that answered with “would a bot do this?” with a photo of a post-it note saying Not a bot :). Was kinda cute
