Say it ain’t so, Le Creuset!

A devoted follower of the cookware brand named Linda talked about how disappointed she was when she went to the company’s Factory to Table event.

And, to make things even worse, Linda traveled to the event from Buffalo, New York to Hartford, Connecticut for what she thought would be a worthwhile trip.

Linda told viewers, “It was a very sorry, sorry event.”

In the text overlay she wrote, “I feel ripped off, scammed, duped, disheartened, disenchanted.”

She added, “Worst of all…I am not alone!”

Linda complained that there were no rare items at the event and there wasn’t much she was too interested in.

Linda said, “I’m giving you a 2 out of 10.”

She showed viewers her Le Creuset haul from the event and said, “As you can see from the array of products here, I did purchase quite a bit. Just under $2,000.”

Linda added, “But again, looking at something that was such an advertised, sought-after event with VIP tickets, to walk in and the merchandise wasn’t available, sad, sad. You did us dirty in Hartford, Le Creuset.”
