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!

I'm pretty sure the cats think they're the overlords.

I'm pretty sure the cats ~~think~~ know they're the overlords.

Isn't there one called LateStageCapitalism as well?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Here it is, sadly it's on lemmygrad

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

That's probably why I haven't seen it in ages.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Make a new one on world or any other instance. I subscribe for sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[email protected] there, I made one. Not sure how many people will actually use it tho

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[email protected]

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Subscribed!

That was a reddit community, it hasn't been made on Lemmy yet it seems

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Looks like there's one on Lemmygrad but Lemmy.world, the biggest instance, is not federated with that instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Well if it was on grad it wasn't worth participating in anyway

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I thought so but I'm not getting a search result.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

That does seem like a community that should exist

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Looks good, subscribed and will be posting there 👍

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No matter where you end up posting, remember to name and shame them, provided you can do so without doxxing yourself.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

The pictures include a store brand product, so that's a guarantee.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I started [email protected]

It hasn’t really taken off yet. Any day now, I’m certain!

[email protected]

Would probably be a good fit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Uh, all of them, I think.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

There are a couple "HailCorporate" communities, but they're tiny.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

The BBB doesn’t do shit.

Nomad Internet has nothing but horrible reviews there (rightly so), and yet has an acceptable rating.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The BBB is a privately owned corporation with all the issues of Yelp (blackmailing companies to pay to hide bad reviews).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Internet randoms!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The BBB is just Yelp wearing a fancy suit.

🤔 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.
