inSerious question, I used to think complaining about a messed-up order was just being a Karen.
Noticed this same pattern with online returns. Used to just keep a shirt that didn't fit right because sending it back felt petty. Then a friend in logistics said those returns are how companies spot bad batches from a supplier. Now I see speaking up about a clear error, whether it's a burger or a broken product, as giving feedback that actually helps the system work better for everyone. It's not about the single splash of milk, it's about the data point.

inWarning: I used a new 'fast-dry' seam sealer on a Berber job in Tempe last Thursday and the edges lifted within 12 hours.
That's the thing with a lot of products now, the "good for everything" label is basically a guarantee it's good for nothing specific. It's not just seam sealers, it's like every cleaner or adhesive. They make one formula, slap a universal label on it, and let the customer be the tester. You end up wasting more money and time than if you just bought the right specialized product in the first place.

Read that in a career advice book once.
