You live in a city, don't you? You wouldn't burn your bridges like that
in a smaller town. But you also would likely be able to talk to the
owner without having to resort to Rambo tactics to get their attention.


"Teaching them a lesson" is very attractive sometimes. A kinder,
gentler approach ("why do all these different plants have the same
label?") may mark you as a knowledgable gardner, prospective good
customer, and even prod the business to be more careful about
labeling. Who knows? Maybe they came from the Plant Factory this way.
