Who do you have on your "Boycotted Businesses" list?

[unluckyseventeen]

Not one. I think most of us have a tendency to "boycott" companies that we perceive as having wronged us as opposed to due to some higher moral ground. I just haven't had those kinds of experiences that would push me away from a company to the point I would call it a "boycott". I tried a burger place here in Reno that was highly recommended and it ended up being dry, not very tasty, and heavily over-priced. I am not going to go back of my own accord, but I would not say I have boycotted them. If my friend went there and brought back burgers for our game night or whatever I would eat them and have no real problems with it. I think of boycott as something a little stronger than just not using their service anymore.

Depends. I boycott the company that I do because my clients may be paying them for ridiculously inferior service at 10x the price, only because they don't know better. And the reason I moved to the boycott was because they are completely incompetent, and a place like that doesn't deserve to be in business. They're the definition of "we'll take complete advantage of people that have limited knowledge, bend em over, then not give a **** when they have a problem with our service, because we aren't doing anything to fix the situation".

+8 on that one big fella.

I 100000% will never purchase another NIKE product, ever. EVER. I try to avoid McDonalds like herpes, but my wife still tells my kids they can have Happy Meals, so I get stuck going.

That's about it. If I get crappy service at a resturaunt or crappy food, I won't go back. I absolutely don't get the, 'In and Out' burger craze -- that stuff tastes like freshly blended ***.

To go along with my dislike for car dealerships, I've pretty much boycotted everything else The Miller Family owns.

So that explains why you never talk about the Jazz here.
It's all starting to make sense.

Weird. Your wife told me I got herpes from a happy meal.

Now we go to Burger King.

Well if there was anything to talk about...

My 2 cents are heard when anything important happens.

That one blows me away. While I don't boycott it, I don't go there. Tried it once in Cali, thought to myself "WTF is this? Garbage?" and now I don't go there.

Ok if you want to be super technical, businesses you avoid giving business to if at all possible. Better?
