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!

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.

Isn't there one called LateStageCapitalism as well?

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 9 points 2 years ago

Here it is, sadly it's on lemmygrad

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 2 points 2 years ago

!latestagecapitalism@gregtech.eu there, I made one. Not sure how many people will actually use it tho

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

!latestagecapitalism@gregtech.eu

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?

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Subscribed!

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 14 points 2 years ago

That does seem like a community that should exist

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago
[-] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Looks good, subscribed and will be posting there 👍

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Uh, all of them, I think.

[-] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 22 points 2 years ago

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

[-] NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Internet randoms!

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 years ago

The BBB is just Yelp wearing a fancy suit.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago
[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

The BBB doesn’t do shit.

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

[-] the_grass_trainer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

🤔 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.
