Do you really want to support this chain?

I am of two minds posting this article.  One is that whatever I can do to educate people on how important it is to support local businesses is something that should be done without hesitation.  The other is that I don’t want to give this particular chain any more attention than it deserves and that anything I post on this website is, in a sense, preaching to the choir.  The former won out so I am posting this article in the NYT today that reports the unsavory business practices in the UK of a certain coffee shop chain.
