You've only got two bakeries where you live? One 400km away and one down your block? You've never found a new restaurant online? You've never looked at reviews

You've only got two bakeries where you live? One 400km away and one down your block? You've never found a new restaurant online? You've never looked at reviews on yelp? Idk what to tell you. Based on your example (only search results for bakeries are 400km away), the problem is where you live, not the internet.

I'm sure there are bakeries from here to the 400km away one. But even if they are 5km, why bother? Unless the nearby one is so bad that it can't be considered altogether.

  If you live in an area where there's only one bakery in town, then there's no pressure at all for that bakery to improve their process. What is your point? I live in a city where it's common to see multiple bakeries on the same block and where I could visit a new bakery every week for the rest of my life. Again, it sounds like your little town or wherever you live is just lame. If there is no competition, there's no reason to innovate. I'm sure every business in your (real or hypothetical) town is years behind the curve in every metric if your only factor for patronizing a business is "well, it's the only one close by".

    Ah, a firm believer in the bullshit of the invisible hand! I find horoscopes to be much more science based to be honest. > your little town or wherever you live is just lame I'm sure you're aware that the term "lame" is offensive, discriminatory, and should really be avoided?

        I get a strong feeling that you're an ableist and generally an asshole.

        Well at least I have more than one bakery in my neighborhood, so it could be worse.
