I'm now also staggered that we've reached a point where people think it's OK for a corporation to make "strong suggestions" for people to go into back rooms and be grilled about products they've bought, and they use "technicalities" and careful wording to say "oh, it's not that bad".
It's horrific the power corporations have over us.
- thrixton 3y agoAbsolutely. Here in Australia at least, we have signs stating that "All bags must be presented for inspection" when leaving stores. These have no legal basis and customers are free to refuse, which I did in the past, I guess I have to start doing it again. Of course it comes with some somewhat heated discussions at times when you say no, their desired effect of course. We really do need to fight back against such egregious overreach such as this instance, I guess that means fighting on all fronts.
- krisoft 3y ago> staggered that we've reached a point where people think it's OK I did not say it is OK. I said that is what likely happened. Legally it is a word of difference if they put their hands on you and force you into a room vs if they say "We need to ask a few more questions, follow me this way." in a no-nonsense manner. The second works against a teenager some of the time. The first is illegal (depending on circumstances) It is very hard to write laws which prevent the second one. > It's horrific the power corporations have over us. It is. And not just in this case.
