does that ever work but?

Well, if you can't get your money back for some clearly dodgy work some backyarder asswipe did, then you may as well warn everyone off using them!

This kind of attitude is bullshit, and it's what causes the problem in the first place. If you pay good money for a service, you expect it done properly.

Agree ^^^

It's like if someone ugly gets a nose job, and it turns out shit, you guys are saying they lose the right to complain about a bodgy nose job because they are ugly anyways - so it doesn't matter as much?

I think it's more about getting "street justice" and causing a big thing about it... Cut your stress and your losses.
