Depends. A lot of business do awful stuff for as long as nobody cares enough to start raising fuss about it.
Speaking of that, for extra effect, complain about it on Twitter and Facebook, linking relevant companies' public profiles/pages. In general, it seems a lot of companies (particularly non-tech ones) are extremely sensitive about social media posts.
