Are you a Snap-on Tools franchise owner or former franchise owner? Do you have franchise complaints, or advice for prospective Snap-on dealers you can share? Contact UnhappyFranchisee. Day Drinking? You perhaps realize that I might not even be in your time zone? I did type in considerable amount of mistakes. Does that satisfy you? You seem to be very focused on minutiae. You probably would have understood my point had you actually read the entire thread.

Instead you try to enforce your opinion by insulting my intelligence. I took the liberty of quoting it below:. I suspect for you, that only means people that agree with your opinion. My point is simple, call a me misanthrope, but I do believe that many advocacy groups can do more harm than good. At best, they become pity parties. At worst, they become a sort of hive mind where anyone that differs with their worldview is the subject of attack and ridicule.

Hence the mob mentality reference. Chest beating about class action lawsuits do nothing to help the people who have been made destitute. Are you trying to make the companies more transparent, or are you trying to grind them into liquidation? I believe no one wins in the latter situation. Yes, some of them are pompous pricks about it. Incomprehensible ramblings? Read some of the other threads. And please excuse remark about the Middle Class, but I live and work overseas.

I suppose she is not allowed to aspire to anything better. Entitlement positively oozes from many of these posts. Just because you work hard is no guarantee that your business will be successful. I was just calling you on your phony erudition. You complained about the complainers but added nothing to the very important discussion of the hidden dangers of the Snap-on franchise opportunity. Of course failed tool truck operators would blame the franchisor.

They were told no business experience was necessary. They were told that Forbes rated Snap-on the 1 franchise because no one fails. They were misled in order to induce them into signing over their savings and go deep into debt. In truth, there were over franchises in three years whose owners could no longer operate. You can call Jim Lager and those speaking out against Snap-on whiners and lucre-seekers if you wish, but they are putting their energy and effort into warning prospective franchisees about the true nature of this investment.

Those who read these comments and buy anyway will have made a more informed decision because of them and will have to own the consequences.
