This article kind of bothers me with its elitist attitude; it seems to view anything below upper-middle class as aesthetically offensive. And I don't really like the view that corporate stores are inherently good and mom-and-pop stores are bad. I agree with the article as far as economics, but shopping at a place more downscale than Williams and Sonoma shouldn't be viewed as a shameful thing. "Mall of Shame", really?
