the premise of a “win-win-win” scenario is necessarily predicated on the belief that a corporation would ever let such an arrangement occur versus just shamelessly exploiting its customers and telling them to love it or leave it, which is a form of trust. in my mind that is trust that is severely unearned by literally any current corporation—and i would firmly assert that even outside of a vacuum the vast majority of corporations will gladly tell (and right now are in the process of telling) their customers the latter
actually, i guess i should say that some corporations get a carve-out here, since worker co-operatives also fall under the banner—i think you can trust most worker co-ops to serve your interests in principle when you interact with them. but i would otherwise sustain that yeah, you should just be adversarial with corporations and assume that what they’re doing is ultimately intended to fuck you, nickle-and-dime you, or just generally treat you like dirt. i’m just not sure why a corporation like Wendy’s should ever get your benefit of the doubt or presumption of acting in your interests as a customer, ultimately.
