The toilets were awfully dirty, there was no toilet paper and no soap. I took some pictures just in case, then I filed a chargeback with my bank. After some weeks, they gave me my 2 euros back, and the company that manages the toilets probably paid a small fine to MasterCard or whatever.
Was it a waste of time, for just 2 euros? Sure. But if nobody starts complaining, nothing will ever be fixed.
This is how I feel. Money is money. If you don't complain, why not just start donating to these corporations? It's effectively the same thing. I've successfully argued over a difference of $0.90 on a restaurant order (they rung up a different appetizer than I actually ordered). If you don't push back, they'll never get better.
But instead of refunding the $2 it cost, they refunded like $1.19 or something to that affect.
So I get the item, contact support for my price match and they say sorry, we can only give you $5 back. I get upset because that's not what I was told, and have a screenshot of the chat to prove it.
We went back and forth forever, I got more and more angry and eventually returned the item for the full amount, and prime had just recently renewed and was in the refund window, so I got a refund for that.
Unfortunately I need Prime where I live, so I signed up for it again a few days later, but used a free trial month.
The whole thing was a giant waste of time, and felt very "optimized".
