| Comment | Literally their whole branding is "Glasgow's XYZ". What is that if not claiming to be Glasgow and to speak for it? If they mean "this is an XYZ that just happens to be in Glasgow" then frankly I think that's incredibly disingenuous.
Yes, this is a city of all kinds of refugees and immigrants, I myself am one, and where they are based especially that is the case. But part of that is learning from the local culture and adapting and adopting elements of it, in my opinion. From what I've come across them, some of their positions and the way they've approached things have seemed not to take that on at all, with the effect that it comes across that they're cosplaying - at running a business, at being Glaswegian, etc.
Honestly, I like the spirit behind what they're doing, making it accessible, having the free food offers - all of that is great. I think it could use some tweaking and adjusting, but they'll learn as they go, hopefully. |
