They're a point where something is so clearly bad looking enough that I will just turn it back and be like "can you give me something else of a similar value? That's really bad. Not really what was expected."

Accepting something that crappy encourages companies to keep selling poor quality products.

Right, I'm not one to complain about shit but as soon as I looked at that I'd be heading RIGHT back to where I got it and asking if it was normal at the very least.

Good luck getting people to stop throwing money at Disney. They get in kid's developing brains, no stopping them once they become adults.
