My local Lidl has sodastream machines this week and I was wondering if its annoying/unnecessary to put a little post it note on it saying its an israel product or something
Edit: thanks for all the replies, I ended up messaging the customer service and I left a piece of paper with “boycott Israeli products” with my shitty handwriting on a sodastream box, I didn’t stick anything anywhere so hopefully this will avoid any “vandalism” accusations.
Not to dissuade you, but a complaint to head office might yield better results.
Best case with your plan: you put one post-it note on one sodastream, and you cost sodastream one sale.
A polite complaint to Lidl’s head office, explaining that them selling this kind of product makes you uncomfortable shopping there, and briefly why, might make Lidl decide not to buy their products again. Which would cost them many more sales.
Targeting the uninformed consumer will be far more effective than complaining to head office.
Do you have a source for that claim? Because it seems counter-intuitive to me.
Do you have a source for your claim? Because it seems to not match reality to me.
You are far more likely to find sympathetic ears out of the hundreds of shoppers passing than you are from a corporation who cares about profits over everything.
But will Lidl actually listen? That’s the real question.
They might not care if one person tells them that, or even if many of them do, especially if they make the calculus that those people will probably still be buying other things at Lidl anyways.
If sales for the product drops because people are putting sticky notes on them, knocking them over or hiding them behind other products, etc, then Lidl has a reason to not bother with the hassle.
It can be very hit and miss. They might not care if a dozen people complain. Or they might make drastic, systemic changes based on a single complaint. That’s certainly how it goes in the supermarket I work in.
No reason not to give it a try, only costs a stamp.
