This is Lemmy. All the communities are for posting about corporate dishonesty!
Even c/cats?
Especially !cats.
That man's got a pussy on his head.
I'm pretty sure the cats think they're the overlords.
I'm pretty sure the cats ~~think~~ know they're the overlords.
Yes 🐸
Aboringdystopia maybe
Isn't there one called LateStageCapitalism as well?
Here it is, sadly it's on lemmygrad
That's probably why I haven't seen it in ages.
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?
Which error did you get? Edit: nevermind, my server went down for a few hours because I got my server's IP blocked by Hetzner. It's resolved now.
Subscribed!
That was a reddit community, it hasn't been made on Lemmy yet it seems
Looks like there's one on Lemmygrad but Lemmy.world, the biggest instance, is not federated with that instance.
Well if it was on grad it wasn't worth participating in anyway
I thought so but I'm not getting a search result.
That does seem like a community that should exist
No matter where you end up posting, remember to name and shame them, provided you can do so without doxxing yourself.
The pictures include a store brand product, so that's a guarantee.
Send it to your attorney general. Check the website for correct intake funnel
I started !ethicalconsumerism@sh.itjust.works
It hasn’t really taken off yet. Any day now, I’m certain!
I thought entire fediverse was about dunking on corpo parasites leeching working folks to dead!?
I think you did think so, based on context.
Glad I could answer your question for you.
There are a couple "HailCorporate" communities, but they're tiny.
Uh, all of them, I think.
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 doesn’t do shit.
Nomad Internet has nothing but horrible reviews there (rightly so), and yet has an acceptable rating.
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?
Internet randoms!
Attorney general in your state should have a consumer protection office that will field these complaints.
Complaint has to be coherent and provide sufficient facts ideally supported by some paper and pics.
This issue is in vogue, so if you see it, give the state attorney something to woek with ;)
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?
They will act on specific complaint, if there is enough evidence to get a W for their career.
Fucked prices at single grocery mehhh... So yeah here it would need some volume to support a pattern of bahavior.
Issue with using BBB is that it doesn't do anything in practice, the shaming taking from 20 years ago hardly works on a modern corpo who can just pay BBB to remove bad publicity but nowadays corpos just don't care.
The BBB is just Yelp wearing a fancy suit.
So Worf?
🤔 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.
