Should holiday shoppers give any thought to where they shop? Does it matterwhich city gets the sales tax revenue?

No, they should not. Consumer preferences drive behavior and buying and they should not be influenced by parochial concerns. If everyone did that, tourism as an industry would evaporate. The city should create the infrastructure – let the market forces dictate the winners.
