No Thanks Black Friday Event

I typically use SimpliSafe's Black Friday event to purchase new gear. However, given that they've increased their plan prices on a whim a couple years in a row, with no real reason or value, other than to increase their profit margins, I've decided to opt-out of rewarding them this Black Friday, and I hope you do too. Marketing emails going straight to Junk Box now and through the holiday season. Your move Simplisafe.

@djdanno  I suggest if you want a very good BF deal on SS equipment, head over to Costco. They are selling a complete system for $128 that includes a base, keypad, 1 Gen2 motion sensor, 3 entry sensors, a remote AND a Series 2 Outdoor Camera that alone normally sells for $199. BTW, the camera is great.

No sir. Companies like Simplisafe are responsible for economic conditions that led to the fascist takeover of my country that my ancestors fought and died for and I'm holding them responsible. They have added nothing of value to their products by their recent price gouging the American consumer. I will not partake in their holiday sales, as I have in the past. They will not be rewarded... at least by me. I ask you to join me. 

I'm going to suggest to anyone going for the Costco deal, that Simplisafe is going to make up for loss using their now annual spur of the moment price hikes on service. I've already convinced two people to go with different companies since I was served the last price hike this past Summer.

@djdanno​ I will take that as a hard no to the Costco early BF sale. Do know several who have purchased the package for the extra sensors, keypad and outdoor series 2 camera.  

Happy holidays to you and your family.

Agreed that Costco is good to their customers in contrast to Simplisafe when it comes to dropping price hikes at a moment's notice. 

Happy holidays.

Costco is famous for putting money into workers, not executives:

Sinegal co-founded Costco in 1983 alongside Jeff Brotman. The face of Costco until his retirement as CEO in 2012, Sinegal was notoriously frugal when it came to spending at its Washington state headquarters and on C-suite pay. Sinegal plowed all of those savings into paying average workers in the retailer's stores and warehouses handsome hourly wages.

The thinking: A happy worker equals a dedicated worker, and that means better customer service, higher sales and club members for life. A well compensated worker also means a greater propensity for them to spend, likely at Costco.
