So let's take a look at some of the most frustrating examples and why more people are starting to push back.

Private equity is destroying the healthcare industry. Quality of care in hospitals, doctors offices is crap

There is an ice cream shop 15 mins from my house that has been open since 1946. It makes 8oz milkshakes for $5, ice cream is still made from scratch, they use old fashioned malt powder or real hot fudge, we bought some for 2 friends who had never had it and they were blown away. The place has never been bought out, it even looks exactly the same as the black and white photos on the wall. Protect these places at all costs!

In the movie Demolition Man, all restaurants in the future were named Taco Bell. Why not call all these places that serve Sysco branded food Sysco Dining to save time and confusion???

My sister was a baker at Panera Bread for just shy of 20 years. They just eliminated ALL the baker positions. They say it is to keep the product consistent(different bakers, may look just a bit different) What most don't realize is instead of it being fresh dough from the local fresh dough stores, it comes from a 3rd party now. It is par baked, frozen and then finished being baked at the store. By a company whose foundation was based on daily fresh baked product. She never called off, unless it was truly an emergency. Less than 10 sicks days(which they didn't pay for nor holiday pay) in 19+years. Corporations do now give 2 💩 s about their employees. I will never eat there again

Since Cadburys was bought out, their chocolate is no longer the delight it was.

My youngest daughter graduated from high school last year and her ceremony fell on a weekend I had to work, I was a Certified Nurse Aide. So I put in for PTO to have that weekend off like a month and half in advance. I got approved for Thursday & Friday but was told that I had to find my own coverage for Saturday & Sunday. I had been talking about her graduation the whole school year. I told my DON (director of nursing) that I wasn't gonna be there Saturday or Sunday. She did everything to try to get me to work. I went to the ceremony.

I worked in a factory for 5 years. I learned every machine in there, I worked OT, I worked holidays, I worked on my birthday, I did other employees jobs while they sat in a corner scrolling their phones. I was guilt tripped into canceling a vacation because "they need people to work". I did everything and anything they wanted. Then, after 5 years, I had a dental emergency and had to be out for 3 days. They fired me. Their reason: They need people to work. Small business, large corps.. all the same. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AS A HUMAN! Never go more 'above and beyond' than they will for you.

Private equity doesn’t care about the products. They’re throw guidelines to reduce the quality to maximize profits. There is no rules about it

Corporations don't give a crap about customers, the only thing that matters are the shareholders.

Glad to see Americans waking up to the indentured servitude we have been duped into with current corporations. It's a scam.

The obsession with pure cost effeciency is what is killing these places.

Not a restaurant, but this is what happened to JoAnn's. JoAnn's was a popular fabric/craft store that got taken over and driven to the ground. On one of it's last days I was in the store talking to one of the cashiers and it was the same story. The chain got bought out and as soon as the corporate got everything they could out of it they closed down putting all those workers out of a job. All due to greed.

I bake my own bread now because of this. They want us completely dependent on the corporations, and they will give us the cheapest and worst products they can get away with for a huge mark-up. It's an abusive relationship. Make your own foods and you break that relationship. They depend on us being dependent on them and when we're not, that ruins their plan. Self-sufficiency is the bane of consumerism.

If I'm being blunt there is no end to Corporate Greed, because they know that you can complain all you want, but if you're still buying from us, you can't put a stop to them.

That crap at the soda fountain is crazy. The profit margin on soda is so high that for the cost of a medium soda you would have to drink 10 cups before that business would start losing money which For the most partvis not even possible so to restrict the amount of soda you fill in your cup is just pure greed.
