Persnickety Prints is dead to me

Thank you for posting this. I have been waiting to make an order with them but now I will pass. Extremely disappointing.

As someone who is currently straddling the "line free / old neck" fence at the moment, I agree with this.    It's not necessary when the person you're insulting has plenty of character flaws to focus on.

The rest of his points are spot on. 

ETA: The original video, which is, I think, better: www.instagram.com/reel/DFXeK7Boc_j/?igsh=MWgxYWExdmVmbzcwYw==

I don’t know why he had to attack irrelevant things in the second one.

A mutual friend sent the first one to me yesterday, and it was so hard to watch.

I was IRL friends with Chari, and also worked with her professionally… (we even did a combined booth with our two companies at a scrapbook expo once), but haven’t seen her in person for a few years. I knew she leaned conservative based on a couple of conversations we had back in the 2016 era, but she was always careful to keep that kind of stuff very private. I ended up unfriending her at some point in the last year or two as I’ve been purging people out of my social media that I don’t actually interact with any more, so I didn’t realize how openly MAGA she’d become.

(I looked at her profile after my friend sent the video, before she made it private.)

TFS, I am not on sm much these days and wouldn't see this otherwise. This is highly disappointing and also confusing because I felt like I had seen a different tone.

I go out of my way to support small business and esp woman owned small business. I've used them for years and have supported them with reviews and referrals (mostly here). I've had good customer service with them, though I've read that has not always been the case for others.

I have been using mpix more lately because I found the quality more consistent than PP. As far digital sb pages, I know of another company Scrapping Simply, also Utah based. I used them initially (like 15 years ago?) then magically it turned into PP and I wonder if they were related at some point in the past. Found some evidence that it's the same owner.

For the life of me will never understand why business ppl or anyone associated with a company/brand posts stuff like that on the internet. It's revealing in many ways, but my logical reasoning mostly sees stupidity.

tldr;

Does anyone have the link to what she actually said? Without being chopped up, and having only snippets presented?

The reason:

I have been (exclusively) using Persnickety since the launch of Ali's Hybrid class. (That's where I heard about it.) And I have been NOTHING but pleased with it. (FWIW- I did try the "Box" service referenced in old boy's loan posts, and didn't like it. They let me out of my subscription with an email.)

I use social media to keep up with my family and some businesses, but follow (VERY) few business owners etc. In other words, yes, Persnickety posts pop up for me, and I learn about promos or sales. But, I don't follow Cheri (nor do I have any ties to scrapbooking "celebrities." I have no time, or patience for that, really.)

I watched both videos where less than 10 word clips were interrupted by a guy who thinks he's cute, and likely makes his living by creating content that I would never watch.

One of the reasons I put so little time into such things is that I don't enjoy watching snippets be twisted into something they are not. Is there an actual link to the content SHE posted?

I certainly am not disputing what she said was racist etc- just that I personally didn't see enough to have that take away for myself. And, given I DO use her business to print hundreds of dollars of prints at least quarterly (last order earlier this month over $400) I'd like to be certain before I take my business and money elsewhere. Because I've been very happy with their service and quality.

As to the discussion- I believe that a business owner has a right to whatever opinion they have. And, most likely, it's best, no matter how flawlessly virtuous you are to just keep it to the business on socials. I don't buy anything from Penzey's because of the incessant political emails. When you put it out there and make it a tenant of your business that I have to think about when I click "check out", I as the consumer have the right to decide whether to enrich your pockets. So---- given anything else said (by me- say whatever yall want!) I agree, this should go over to the NSBR hahah

I saw a pea post on IG that she actually no longer owns the company and they haven't updated their website company info to share who does. She has some other smaller business.

Don't know how true but just an FYI

Drups Ventures owns it now. Chari has nothing to do with the company.

Persnickety Prints rubbed me the wrong way waaaay back in the beginning (a real lack of customer service) and I never purchased from them again. But this is a whole different level from what annoyed me when they first started.

Yes. Because she does not own it it still means she could be a major stock holder - just not more than 51%
