What if Pirate Joe's does not handle perishable food properly and makes people sick. This gets reported as "Trader Joe's X is making people sick!" when in fact it was because of Pirate Joe's poor quality control (for example).
- SG- 12y agoI could see that being the case if he was pretending to be Trader Joe's but he's clearly going out of his way with the store name and atmosphere and story telling to indicate what's actually going on.
- giarc 12y agoNo because the product is still labelled as Trader Joe's. So when a public health inspector calls you to say, what have you eaten? and you say "Trader Joe's brand X". And they find 15 people with the same symptoms and same food, it is likely that the food will get recalled.
- SG- 12y agoIt doesn't really happen that way and blame isn't just a wild guess and who's responsible.
- anon4 12y agoThen they sue the reporter for slander and/or libel. Then the guy who got poisoned sues Pirate Joe.
