  • Buc-ees Ltd has a better business bureau rating of F and is not BBB accredited. "The company has stated they will not answer complaints forwarded to them by the BBB."

  • it scales with size. local companies with more than just a few employees can expect to pay four digits a year. looking at their website they even have a fee to apply lol ('may be waived in some regions', meaning it's charged anywhere it's legal to charge an application fee)

    other concessions such as in this post's title, they have to agree to handle customer complaints within BBB's terms (the specifics of which i'm not privy to).

    the reason they really strike a nerve in autistic online communities though is that they've committed the cardinal sin of offering a rating service where the rating isn't really about them, the consumers, but how good they are to the BBB. so does an F grade mean they have terrible customer service and a history of fraud or does it mean they wouldn't fork out for a membership? maybe bucees is an ass backward business of hucksters but the rating doesn't actually indicate that.

  • 'the bad' is that they shake companies down and give them bad ratings not based on how they treat consumers, but how they treat the BBB. meaning if they don't pay up and make other concessions to let the BBB twist their arm, they get bad grades.

  • this doesn't even qualify as a hubbub, let alone harassment. if you like the guy, you ought to cheer when his attention seeking behavior bears fruit.

  • it's not that they're useless, it's that they're self-serving and parasitic. actually providing a service is incidental at best to lining their pockets.

  • lol why do people get mad about attention seekers getting attention

  • Power price rises are from data centres. Nothing but data centres.

  • if power companies charge consumers $100/month extra, we have no choice except to eat it and grumble about it.

    if they charge amazon, google, oracle $100/month extra, they'll spend $100 million to dismantle the company and install toadies at the head of its replacement.

  • What do you set your Lemmy "type" to: hot, active, new, old, etc.?

    Jump

  • i appreciate the old ones! it's interesting to see why someone would revive an old post, and there are some (usually active community drama) that can keep going for days and wouldn't show up anywhere else.

    it occurs to me this most closely mimics old web forum sorts.
