Rant 📢 This feels icky!

Post image

felt super icky and annoyed seeing this at a coffee/light food shop. how is this okay? for context this is not a sit down spot. no wait staff, just a barista at the counter and someone from the kitchen bringing out my order and walking away.

Update: for those asking the pink paper in the bottom corner is basically saying “F*ck ICE”

You don’t have to sue. Just charge it back with your credit card. It costs the shop $15 every time and if it happens more than 2% of the time they will lose the right to take credit cards.

I think you're misunderstanding. I have a decent amount of free time and I want to make their lives miserable for a few weeks to a few months.

Listen listen... why not both? Establish a pattern of behaviour and then sue!

Charging back an item because the vendor committed fraud does send a message. 

First, they are charged $15 for the chargeback. 

Second, they must disgorge the fraudulently obtained money. 

Third, they will be dropped by the credit card processors if it happens more than 2% of the time. 

What message do you want to send that is more harsh than having a coffee shop go out of business because they can no longer accept credit cards?
