Sodastream because they were built on Palestinian occupied territory before they moved facilities back to Israel to avoid the bad press.
Spence Diamonds because they have the most annoying advertising and diamonds are bullshit carbon anyways.
Advertising being horrible is a huge red flag that your business is somewhere I won’t be going at all. Car dealerships giving away gold bricks, hot dogs, telling you they are your friendly neighbor, giving away trips or extras with every purchase means those things are all baked into the price already and you are spending more then elsewhere.
Not that I have progressed enough financially yet to be in a position to buy a Tesla Model S, it’s gone from a dream car to something I’d be ashamed to own because of being disillusioned by who Elon Musk is over the past few years.
I just got the job I’ve been striving for since 2015. Early on, I said I wanted to get a Tesla when I could afford it. Now I can and don’t want one. I’d take one if it was given to me, but I’d just resell it. I don’t want anything to do with Musk.
There are plenty of other cheaper, better made cars out there, that don’t have stupid bullshit like charging you to replace the entire backseat because the seatbelts stained.
Several local (but national chain brand) furniture stores.
So many reasons. One had better quality furniture on display than what they sold by a long way. Another tried to give me not one but two firm mattresses instead of medium and lie to me about them. Yet another got caught out blatantly lieing to my face about delivery times and procedures.
All of them had great customer service right until the point that they had our money and then completely treated us like garbage afterwards.
Seagate - bought 3 of their drives . All 3 failed within a month of the warranty being up. But they said “Warranty is up so suck it”; two can play that game.
Burger king.a few years ago i went through the drive through to get my little sister a milkshake. Machine down, okay what about an ice cream? Oh thats down too. " i didnt know I came to McDonald’s" dude over the menu laughed… but then this big ole cunt of a manager comes yelling at me to leave their property! I dont remember what all was said but it ended with me yelling back at her “fuck you, you dont just come screaming at people over a joke. YOU FAT BITCH!” Then i went to a McDonald’s and told their drivethrough lady and got free ice cream while they laughed. And i havent been back since.
I also won’t be going back to BK, but for a different reason. I last went there around 2015, and waited for 25 minutes for them to make me a whopper. The three previous visits to different locations all had me waiting more than 15 minutes for my order. Having worked at BK before, I know that it doesn’t take 25 minutes if you had put the frozen patty on the broiler 5 minutes after I had ordered it. I could have gone into the building, placed the order, made the order myself, and still have it be under 20, being unfamiliar with the building I was walking into.
It’s a terribly sad thing, as I actually prefer them to McD.
I won’t go back to BK, because BK has gotten brain damage and thinks its fine dinning and that its okay to charge ridiculous sums of money for shitty burgers.
Shitty burgers that I was okay eating when they were 2 bucks, but I aint paying no 7+ dollars for that bullshit. Nah. Fuck you. Pull your heads out of your asses.
Also, in my experience, the ice cream/shake machines are never actually broken… They’re just a PITA to clean so no one wants to run them and have to clean them after shift.
Easyjet. They sent us an update in their app saying they delayed our flight a few hours due to ill pilot. We were waiting near the gate (nearest cafe) but not quite within view, and no flight boards nearby. They decided not to delay after all but did not send an update to the app, and nothing over loudspeakers. My paranoia got the better of me so i wandered down to the gate around the original time of flight to take a look. When I saw they were boarding after all i called the family down, but we had missed it by a minute or so. They would not let us board. They preferred to delay the flight while they unloaded our baggage. We had to pay for and book with another airline to arrive at our hotel at midnight losing a day of our Greek Island holiday. When we complained to their service desk, they refused to refund us, and said “we DO suggest you always keep up to date by watching the flight boards”. There was a giant sign by their desk that literally said “download our app to keep up to date on your flights”. I will never give those fucks another dollar, and I tell this story to anyone who will listen.
They preferred to delay the flight while they unloaded our baggage
Thats the part that would have me launched to the moon on a red hot rage rocket.
Cant take 30 seconds to let me board because your shitty fucking service told me it was delayed? But you’ll delay the plane 20 minutes to dig my baggage out of the hold and make everyone elses day on board miserable?
What kind of United Airlines level of pure customer hatred is that?!
None. I’m not rich, I don’t have the luxury of straight-out boycotting any particular company. If I could, both Amazon and Walmart would be top of the list. And I’m sure many others.
Hell, I’ve been wanting to finally delete my Facebook account for years now, but Facebook marketplace is apparently the ONLY place I’m ever going to be able to sell anything. It’s the only reason I still have the account. I have long since delete all posts, photos, and literally any other data that they would let me delete, aside from marketplace posts and associated messenger conversations. Used to buy and sell constantly on Craigslist for many years, now I haven’t been able to successfully sell a single item in at least the last 2-3 years. Letgo was a decent one for a while, until the app got bought by, and then shut down by, OfferUp. And the OfferUp people are basically con artists (use shady methods of boosting the number of “active” listings, in order to artificially inflate the value of their company). It has been nearly impossible to sell, or even BUY anything on OfferUp, after several years of trying to make user of the app.
They ran the train but lockdown started the next day so my 8 day trip was off. Then they said you couldn’t get a refund on advanced tickets but could rebook later (at extra cost) up to a certain date but who knew when lockdown would end? I wouldn’t have been able to get more leave anyway. Then they said a few days later that advance ticket refund would be given but when I applied they said “Too late, it’s after the date you were due to travel”. Every other company I’d booked with gave refunds even those bookings that were non-refundable. It looks like Caledonian Sleeper’s days might be numbered anyway. Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
