If it is not worth suing a store for False Advertising then how does someone fight this.?

Question

I asked If it is worth it to sue a store for False Advertising. Everyone that answered said it was not worth it. So am I supposed to let them get away with it?

Answer 1

Get away with what? What was advertised that they didn't live up to? Please provide specifics. You could always contact the Better Business Bureau and/or the Chamber of Commerce.

Dude -- your situation is more of a customer service issue. That manager should have just let you have the discount, acknowledged that the advertising might not have been clear enough, and then changed the signage to make the sale items very clear. Call the BBB if it upsets you that much. Suing isn't worth it because the fees alone for filing in small claims court would be exceedingly more than the extra money you spent on the cereal. In any case -- there were no damages -- what would you sue over?

Answer 2

You can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Not evrything needs to be on a TV Court show. There are corrective measures such as BBB and The Office of The Attorney General.

Answer 3

A store has a advertisement that says: 4 for $10 General Mills Cereal 11.5-16 oz, I bought 4 boxes of 16 oz, 15 oz, 12 oz, 10 oz.


What part of 11.5 - 16 oz. don't you understand? The 10 oz, doesn't qualify.

The store is in the right.

Answer 4

if the store didn't honor what they allegedly falsely advertised, then you could sue them. no guarantee you'll win, but there never is, you know? if stores falsely advertise something, they have to honor the advertisement by law.

Answer 5

Every time the clerk asks you if you've found everything you need, loudly say "NO, once again, bait and switch and you don't have what you advertised." or stop shopping there altogether.

Answer 6

Call your state's better business bureau or attorney general and report it.
