Arrival of big guys is largely a good thing here. Long ago, when I was a kid we had only the the private shops where we bought groceries. We had to stay in line until the owner and the boy weigh the stuff etc. And there was no choosing, you had to buy what they give. Usually under weight. And higher prices.
Then arrived super markets. You could choose, correct weight, standard prices, and so much more. Today people lament that the big companies are killing small businesses. But actually it was the small shops' behaviour that invited that fate.
Increasingly now there are decent private shops with reasonable prices and courteous service. Those shops have a good demand, this time thanks to their decency.
