That all small business owners are thieves and out to scam their customers - This was part of someone's argument defending big box stores.

I took the most diarrhoeal of diarrhoeal shits this morning. I'd like to see you make this political.

Easy! Why do you think it happened? Inadequate food regulation? Underfunded healthcare? Insufficient regulation of pollutants that can impact health and cause chronic disease?

I don't know your individual circumstances, but given the state of the world right now, I'd bet it's a combination of all three.
