You can likely sue them in small claims court. Many states let you file for a couple hundred dollars and will give you 3x damages if you win.

The most likely outcome is they settle when the court date approaches or dont show and you win hy default.

    There was a guy in Texas who thought a big tobacco company would settle out without showing, but instead he got counter sued to the tune of millions. That man? Rusty Shackleford.

    There's a good documentary about it.

    I can neither confirm nor deny that @RustyShackleford@piefed.social is man of taste.

    Time is a flat circle.

    I can neither confirm nor deny baked goods preferences without counsel present.

    And if time really is a flat circle, then one of us should remember this conversation already.

    I don’t.

    Which means you’re early… or I’m late. 🤔
