Sometimes I worry that the principled stand I am taking not to patronize a particular business is just hurting me without doing diddly squat to influence the business. Two example, both #Boston area #restaurants...

#CloverFoodLab committed shrinkflation, both raising prices and dramatically shrinking portion sizes, without admitting they'd done so or updating the serving sizes in their app. When I asked about it, they ignored me. I stopped getting food from them as a result, but I miss their food. If I am willing to pay the new prices for the new serving sizes, should I just suck it up and do that?

#RedLentil in #Watertown was caught sneaking non-kosher ingredients into their #Sharon location, intentionally misleading the kosher certification agency. As a result they lost their kosher certification for both locations, an outcome I consider wholly appropriate. I stopped getting food from them as a result, because although I personally eat food from vegetarian restaurants without certification, I want to show solidarity with people who don't. Is that silly? 🤷
