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.
This is Lemmy. All the communities are for posting about corporate dishonesty!
Even c/cats?
Especially !cats.
I’m pretty sure the cats think they’re the overlords.
That man’s got a pussy on his head.

Aboringdystopia maybe
Looks good, subscribed and will be posting there 👍
That does seem like a community that should exist
!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
Would probably be a good fit

I think you did think so, based on context.
Glad I could answer your question for you.
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?
Internet randoms!

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.

Uh, all of them, I think.
I started !ethicalconsumerism@sh.itjust.works
It hasn’t really taken off yet. Any day now, I’m certain!
There are a couple “HailCorporate” communities, but they’re tiny.
