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.
🤔 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.
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?
Here it is, sadly it’s on lemmygrad
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!
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?
