Why is it that it is ok to attack an international brand incessantly, eg Hyosung for poor build quality or support or whatever, yet when it comes to local businesses, for example an unnamed dealer or whoever else when a poor service/product has been offered, public debate is frowned upon and eventually shoved under the carpet/closed/whacked?
Is there an inferiority complex at work? Whereby an international brand can deal with a little bit of flak from a keyboard warrior about a hyo clutch cable snapping, but the local bike shop can't deal with someone having a go about poor servicing of warranty conditions because it is perceived as a smaller enterprise.
Is it a double standard? Is it right? Should we be protecting local business? Should we be calling attention to local businesses shortcomings? Should we be demanding more from them? Should we stop bagging out hyo/kawa/duc/zongshen?
