By All Means, Buy Local, But Have Some Patience, Too
-
No good deed and all that: People wanting to support local or black-owned businesses have been steering their book-buying to local bookstores instead of Amazon. This appears to be causing problems... for the local businesses, because they can't handle the increased volume, and, because they can't provide things like free one-day or two-day delivery, customers with unrealistic expectations get upset at them. Gotta give small businesses a little break. (Washington Post)
