Aboringdystopia maybe
Isn't there one called LateStageCapitalism as well?
Make a new one on world or any other instance. I subscribe for sure.
!latestagecapitalism@gregtech.eu there, I made one. Not sure how many people will actually use it tho
I just tried to open it to subscribe and got an error. Maybe a mod killed it? Or maybe the format for the link was not correct?
That was a reddit community, it hasn't been made on Lemmy yet it seems
No matter where you end up posting, remember to name and shame them, provided you can do so without doxxing yourself.
I started !ethicalconsumerism@sh.itjust.works
It hasn’t really taken off yet. Any day now, I’m certain!
!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
Would probably be a good fit
Report it to the BBB, not a bunch of internet randoms. Anti-trust laws don't work if you only report crimes online for updoots.
The BBB is a privately owned corporation with all the issues of Yelp (blackmailing companies to pay to hide bad reviews).
if not the BBB, then who?
While this is definitely something people should be doing, doesn't the attorney general only act out if they get enough complaints, or if the complaint stands out in some way?
Will they actually work with someone to resolve their specific complaint every time?
From what I've seen, at least the BBB will try to specifically address your issue with the company and is probably a much easier process to carry out before trying to take things further.
Or is there something about using the BBB that would prevent you from filing a complaint with the attorney general, or prevent you from going further with something like a lawsuit?
The BBB is just Yelp wearing a fancy suit.
The BBB doesn’t do shit.
Nomad Internet has nothing but horrible reviews there (rightly so), and yet has an acceptable rating.
🤔 was it a tag that displayed a cheap price, but it rang up more expensive?
Having worked for Walmart this sometimes happens, and the managers would usually honor the shelf tag.
In the instances of a tag supposedly being cheaper by $30+ i would tell the customer "i will call over a manager, but you'll need to pretend to be angry or they might say no." Which, from my experience, is usually what happened. Nice customers would get told the store can't honor it while someone throwing a temper tantrum would save money. Ridiculous.
