Even with all that's going on in the world, there are few things more likely to upset me than people defending small businesses on social media.
On Friday, City Councilmember Chi Ossé made an Instagram post that simply asked, in all caps on a Create Mode background, "$40 HALF CHICKEN AT A WINE BAR? REALLY?" When I saw it, I did what I assumed everyone would do—chuckled and scrolled on. Who among us has not had the deeply human reaction of being surprised when something is more expensive than you thought it would be?
But not everyone reacted that way. Some people even got in the comments.
