LOL what a great and frustrating read. It’s so exasperating, isn’t it?! This totally parallels my experiences when trying to stray from the villainous corporate conveniences. Today I drove to two gas stations and finally a smoke shop where I finally found and bought the last two sets of a basic brand of rolling papers (not for me, for a friend!).

SO exasperating! It's really illuminating just how dependent we've become on enormous retailers, even in places where we theoretically have so many alternatives. I feel like I have to start buying in bulk whenever I miraculously find something I need from a somewhat respectable retailer.
