I have to take it back, they don’t sell astroturf they sell sod in a cardboard box for a 1300% mark-up. Still dickheads.

How can they not think this won’t come back to hurt them?
Even as a white man this is not gonna get a pass.

Meanwhile some poor Scottish person who is actually named Fatty McFatfat is left wondering how they got dragged in to this dispute.

Perhaps this CEO imagines he’s just like the CEO of Comcast – completely immune to criticism, complaints, and bad reviews. But a small business just may not have that immunity.
Bet he has an MBA.

From the original article:
In several later emails, while declining multiple interview requests, the company blamed the responses on a customer service company it uses in India.
“Multiple people work customer service under the signature of the owner and we are dealing with this internally,” read one reply.
“Unfortunately, they still have access to our account and we are attempting to put a stop to this.”
Both blaming brown people and providing an out for future repugnant behavior. Someone needs to apply with the Trump Administration.

They say that CS reps can respond as the CEO? I’m sorry but in what world does that excuse make sense? I can’t imagine any scenario where that would be done.

I dunno, this guy is a jerk, but I am kinda impressed a 12 year old was able to start and run a company like that, with all the logistics required to ship out grass, the marketing etc.

Having spoken to some “tech support” people in India, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was all absolutely true. Somebody thought having email signed by the CEO would make the biz seem friendly and bespoke, and someone with the power to use that signature was a troll.

I remember the world where it wouldn’t make sense for someone to even consider using that excuse. I remember it fondly.

These Indians also were able to respond to a Global News and send a letter from a fake lawyer? Really?

It makes me wonder if the shot of him on their site is real or just something clipped off the net.
