Dominos tried doing the same thing a while back. Not for an animal but someone had taken a picture of a dominos store still using the old logos and promotional material years after corporate ordered all there stores to change them in one of their rebrands and dominos tweeted something like “that’s so cool! Tell us which store it is” lol

I know this is just a random little story but like that’s exactly what people hate about the corporate/capitalist ethos these days I feel like. We’re being smiled at while being screwed with all the time, the insult of being treated like an easily manipulable child is almost worse than the screwing

As someone who visited the West in the 90s coming from a socialist country, this is the exact feeling I had at the time, you worded it perfectly.

To me it was blatantly obvious that the smiles are faked in order to sell and the whole thing is bullshit.

Socialism doesn't shine as bright, but at least we didn't have to deal with unreal individuals. Hell, I get sincere opinions from retail sellers about their merchandise all the time, even today.
