Better Business Bureau

I'm writing to inform you that the FIESTA MARKET, in bolingbrook,IL.Are selling pre-packaged meat with a spice or some sort of marinate pork. Which is fine, but it don't have the ingredients listed.My son felt ill after eating some of that meat, and I went to see if they put any cumming in their because he is allergic to it. I stop going to this place, because every time I went in there I had to go get the store manager because they wouldn't take your order for the meat counter, as if my business isn't wanted. HISPANIC ONLY!

I run a service company which goes into peoples homes on over 3000 occasions each year. Needless to say, we run into a few less than sane people in our travels.
We have found that the BBB is more than happy to take a completely unfounded and slanderous "complaint" about our company and publish it on their website as if it were fact. I know from experience that people view this information as if it were fact and some actually use it to justify their own slanderous lies which creates even more fodder for the next nutcase.
Don't get me wrong. We make mistakes and when we do we take full responsibility for them and make them right. But the BBB makes no distinction between right and wrong, passing slanderous false info on to the general public without having to take any responsibility for the consequences of their actions because they are just "passing on the complaint."
If the general public knew what a scam the BBB is, they'd never use their info to make ANY decisions.

I'd like to see one of those consumer reporters on TV do a feature on the BBB. It would be one of the biggest stories of the century when people find out how "not for profit" means that they pay humongous salaries to the owners and disperse all would-be profits before tax time as "bonuses". BBB is one of the most coveted franchises of all time because it's so easy to make money.

I refuse to participate on this scam on business owners and on the American public.

Just out of curiosity, who does this guy think pays for all the services the BBB provides? I don't mind giving them a couple of hundred bucks once a year. They offer lots of good things to consumers and businesses.

These guys tried to shake me down for hundreds of dollars to be allowed to use the BBB symbol. So in other words if you have the money no matter how bad you are at business, you can use the BBB symbols.

I thought the guy coming to see me was a volunteer or an employee at least who helped companies get some sort of BBB certification. But what I got was a salesman and a hard close. I couldn't get rid of the guy, even after I told him I don't have the income to pay those kind of fees.

A sad day to think the BBB which I thought for years was a consumer protection is not at all what it seems. Heck InsiderPages is better, at least they don't shake business down for money.
