Out this morning running an errand, I stopped at a little local bakery shop for a little bit of morning food. I chose this bakery because I like to support the little guys when I can… but I’ve gotta say, that the stuff I got was crap. This was actually my third trip to this guy, for three different kinds of food. So I’m afraid he’s now struck out.
But it’s bigger than that. As I was walking along this busy London street, noticing the Safeway’s and Tesco stores, and thinking about getting a second breakfast, it occurs to me that this crummy little baker has momentarily soured me on all little guys. This is how the big guys win! Because the little guys don’t ever realize that they’re all on the same team, representing a way of life and a way of business, not just themselves. Wake up, little guys!
