I don't believe a business goes out of it's way to harm you. It just doesn't care how it gets to the destination as to whether you get harmed or not.
Now, if you want to talk to me about social responsibility my company needs to have with you, I'm more than willing to negotiate. And by negotiate, I mean that I want some things from you. What is it you can offer? Say I set up a Chevy dealership in your town. Would you, in exchange for a certain amount of social responsibility and a modest profit on my part be willing to swear loyalty to me and never buy another car except from me even if it is cheaper somewhere? That is the issue. People like you ask for companies to have social responsibility but what will give much in return? Would your whole town agree to buy say tires from my shop and forsake say the internet source even if you can get it much cheaper there? I think not. Customers have NO loyalty to the business so why should the business have any concern for them in return? Everyone looks out for #1 but you want to rank somewhere in there for the company?
