False community spirit is a cunt.
A couple of years ago, a shop/post office/chemist opened nearby where we live.
Now, that’s all well and good, but the crap that the owner spewed out at its ‘grand opening’ (with some p@k!s and a couple of old biddies and councilors): he gushed, ‘We are so glad to serve the people of this area. We want to be a hub of the community. We can give back to the community’. What? A community he doesn’t and never has lived in or ever been part of? My arse.
Why is seemingly every new business and venture calling itself or aspiring to be a community hub nowadays? How many hubs can there be? Eg: the church just down the road from this shop was reported in the local press only last week as intending to be one. These shops, certainly, are not hubs – they’re businesses out o make money and nothing more. We’re getting as bad as P@k!stan (coincidentally, the shop owner is a P@k!), where a village with two schools adopts the term “education hub”. Also the fact that this establishment has extortionate prices (usually double the usual RRP), barcodes aren’t used (they write their own prices on by hand), and that they can be incredibly rude to customers is really helping the community, isn’t it? It’s a rip off joint, like many of ‘these’ establishments. But pretending to care about the people and giving it all this community shit is both patronising and insulting. Trying to suck in the gullible and elderly. It makes me fucking sick. Cunts.
