"The Common Good," by Robert Reich, defines the difference between "stakeholder capitalism" and "shareholder capitalism."
In any case, I guess that's why value and service are as important to me as the actual food. As mentioned above, I'll gladly pay a little more to feel like I got "hooked up" rather than "hosed," and I very much appreciate feeling like I'm a valuable part of the business rather than just a overpaying sucker.
