Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize? (lemmy.world)

like I went to taco bell and they didn't even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don't get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

Be like me and steal what you can from these companies. Commit delivery fraud (item never arrived when it did). Raise chargebacks etc. take what you can as that’s what they’re doing. Just don’t do it to sole businesses.

Nah, don't do this.

Imagine being an Uber Eats or Deliveroo driver trying to make an honest living and getting sacked because some absolute bloomy rind dick cheese told people on the internet to submit fraudulent non-delivery claims.

Now imagine they alert other businesses that you steal from customers and now you're unemployable because of what I stated above.

You're suggesting something that will seriously fuck over the average wagie but still keep the board of directors in their comfy black leather seats. Just don't give them your business.

I'm willing to bet you never actually worked in a customer facing job, otherwise you'd have more empathy for the average worker...

I’m not stealing food from Uber eats bro. I’m talking orders from Amazon and claiming they sent an inferior item.

Edit: also I ain’t ever ordering Uber Eats. Paying double for someone to bring me soggy food.

Stealing from Amazon will never not be ok.

For sure. Steal from the till of a megacorp who gives a shit, get a gig worker fired for a free burrito? Thats a huge dick move

Also, every job I’ve had until my current one has been customer service. Either facing or over the phone. Should have taken that bet.
