I was at a US grocery chain today and came across some…misleading price tags. I took a couple pictures intending to post them to Lemmy before going to bed, but I don’t know which community would be appropriate for such a thing. The closest I could think of is A Boring Dystopia, but it doesn’t seem quite right there.
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.
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.
That does seem like a community that should exist
!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
Would probably be a good fit
Uh, all of them, I think.
This is Lemmy. All the communities are for posting about corporate dishonesty!
Yes 🐸
Even c/cats?
Especially !cats.
I’m pretty sure the cats think they’re the overlords.
Looks good, subscribed and will be posting there 👍
I started !ethicalconsumerism@sh.itjust.works
It hasn’t really taken off yet. Any day now, I’m certain!
Aboringdystopia maybe
Isn’t there one called LateStageCapitalism as well?
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.
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.
I thought so but I’m not getting a search result.
There are a couple “HailCorporate” communities, but they’re tiny.
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 just Yelp wearing a fancy suit.
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?
