Author is delusional. A bunch of small stores close is nowhere near similar. I just want to go to one shop, get the stuff, and leave, not to go to 8 shops, pay 8 times, pack groceries 8 times and overall walk more
edit: that is not to say opening big supermarkets is great, just that once they are there that's why people skip local stores and go to the big supermarket
