Yeah I do agree that complaining to employees is useless, but it’s also a really frustrating situation and it’s not like you can get the CEO on the phone to complain. I wouldn’t personally complain at an employee, but I do get how someone might in the midst of such frustration.
As a consumer, what’s your other option?
Pretty much nothing, hence why I said I get it 🤷🏼♂️
The only viable legal option is to vote with your wallet. I know elsewhere you said that’s not an option in your area, and that sucks. Still, do what you can to shop at other places, even if you can’t nix walshart entirely.
Edit that was another guy who said that, my bad. Statement still standa tho
Shop elsewhere.
Where? Idk about your area, but in mine all the options are big corporate chains
And even in areas where family owned retail stores still survive, a lot of people can’t afford to shop at them, because they’ll always have higher prices than the big chains, and with the price gouging that’s gone on since 2020, many families are struggling to make ends meet as it is.
Yeah, it sucks for sure. I personally choose to spend a bit more and buy a bit less to go to somewhere that doesn’t suck horribly, but that’s a lot of effort and a privilege that others may not have. I’ll never condemn a person for shopping at walshart, due to that. Still though, shop elsewhere when you can, buy minimal when you can’t. That’s about the only legal recourse we have as consumers.
