If you care about supporting small / local businesses, just do it. If you are asking them to price match Amazon what you're really saying is "I want the service and convenience of having this today but I don't care if you're here tomorrow.

"Businesses should adapt to new technology" - you Ok, we have and do. Local / small businesses have adapted by employing YOUR neighbors, supporting YOUR tax base, and providing service / knowledge that is not typically available through online sources.

The typical retail profit margin (after expenses) is 3-5%... that means that generally the government is making more off your purchase than that store you're buying it from... you know what happens when we price match Amazon? We lose money.

We lose money... We lose employees... We lose health insurance... We lose our livelihood. But please, tell me again "how much you like to support local business" while holding your $6 coffee and attempting to haggle with me over a $4 price difference

"I prefer to shop local, but the local [whatever type of business] sucks." Like, that's fine.

Or in my case, I prefer to shop local, especially having run Magic in a game store for 11 years, but I'm not paying SCG prices for cards. I'll buy sealed product, and even overpay for my foreign boxes cause I get them the day of release, but I'm not buying singles.

I would buy singles from that LGS if he actually bothered to mark them. But he's too worried about losing value if the price on something suddenly skyrockets.
