Is there a community for posting about corporate dishonesty?
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.
That man's got a pussy on his head.
I'm pretty sure the cats think they're the overlords.
Aboringdystopia maybe
Isn't there one called LateStageCapitalism as well?
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.
[email protected] 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!
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.
Well if it was on grad it wasn't worth participating in anyway
I thought so but I'm not getting a search result.
That does seem like a community that should exist
I like ![email protected]
Looks good, subscribed and will be posting there 👍
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.
I started [email protected]
It hasn’t really taken off yet. Any day now, I’m certain!

I think you did think so, based on context.
Glad I could answer your question for you.
[email protected]
Would probably be a good fit

There are a couple "HailCorporate" communities, but they're tiny.
Uh, all of them, I think.
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.
So Worf?
The BBB doesn’t do shit.
Nomad Internet has nothing but horrible reviews there (rightly so), and yet has an acceptable rating.
🤔 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.
