These people sell things to you that you and your family need daily (not just soul food, lol) but they don't even attempt to get to know you.
They are just there making money off of you, and that's it. It's a problem that has been going on for decades in DC and I am not sure how to go about solving it, other than for the residents to simply not buy from their long-time neighborhood shop owners.
Most "local" businesses in DC are not owned by locals and that is a huge problem, leaving the racial part out of it.

I personally am not convinced that it's a "problem", but if it is, the answer is simple. STOP buying their wares. The free market is legal in the USA.
