Buy local, buy independent, buy family owned, don't buy from franchises but if you do have to, yes do buy from an european one. But don't act surprised if they ever get big enough they will be guilty of the same practices Costa or Pret or Starbucks are doing.

@jnod4 imo more competition is always good. I'm not into coffee, but I did purchase a medium-sized cup of hot chocolate from them, and it was just a bit smaller than those soda ones served in fast-food chains like McDonald's (if not, the same size, lol). And the chocolate was quite good as well.

Why not link directly to the article instead of through google spyware?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

@FrostyPolicy Because the original article is in Romanian and maybe not everyone is able to understand it. Here's the original if anyone wants to translate it in a different way/understands it.

I'll update the OP as well.

Thank you. Firefox has builtin translator that can handle Romanian.

Edit: Offline full page translator.

@FrostyPolicy oh, they added Romanian support for good already? Didn't know that. Thank you!

It just felt odd to link thru an american service in Buy European community though the though behind it was good.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

@FrostyPolicy yeah, I know. I tried Deepl at first to check if they had a similar functionality, but sadly they did not. I wish there was some service where you could literally paste the link in the translation box, and you get a translated version of the webpage, complete with all UI elements (of course, a European one).
