Rage. That’s what consumers are feeling right now. A new survey (theacsi.com/news-and-resources/press-releases/2026/08/11/press-release-national-acsi-q2-2026) found consumer complaints hit a record high this year. Another (customercaremc.com/2025-national-customer-rage-study) from last year found a huge share of consumers felt ‘rage’ with a product or service problem.
