I hate chains of any kind, generally speaking. I love to give my business to privately owned (insert business here) instead of the chains, any of the chains. We have an independent pharmacy still that still exists near me, right at the corner of Walgreens and CVS. I always go to them (little guy) even though I'm hosing myself financially. My parents always frequented the small stores of any kind as well. I miss those days too.
i like a couple of chains; mostly restaurants. it is cool when the GF needs something for her apartment and you just take off on foot and end up at a store that specializes in that, though. and honestly, it's not that much more expensive most of the time.
