do you want to go back to "mom and pops" shops in lieu of supermarket chains? I don't.
I would like supermarket chains to treat their employees better and I'm willing to pay 10% more for it.
Multiple times each year I rent an inexpensive cabin at one of our state parks, and on the way here I always visit a small grocery store in a small town that carries a local Amish bakery’s goods. I absolutely love their bread.
This past weekend I noticed a Dollar General had popped up nearby. They’re like weeds in rural Indiana.
I have no doubt that within a year or two the small grocery store will be gone, and I’ll no longer have a convenient place to buy that bread I like so much.

Yes, I do want to go back to mom and pop shops.

Dollar General pops up, where people are very, very, price sensitive.
That "mom and pop" shop is either for tourists or is taking an unreasonable rent off the local economy.
I now live in a rural area and I like my local artisanal stores. But they cannot sustain the economy, due to very high overhead.
