Any company you refuse to use?

[perplexed]

Lush.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Lush - virtue-signalling liars making money out of other's misery.
Carphone Warehouse - because it incorporated Phones 4 U and John Caudwell is a ****
Arnold Clark - seen how they treat their salesmen
Dulux - they make false claims on their products, calculating that the cost of paying damages is less than the increased sales

I had similar in a chip shop recently. I like my copy meals in a box as they don't go soggy like wrapped in paper. If seen the big pile of boxes ready for use so thought I'd go in there. £1.60 for chips. But asked if I wanted it wrapped, I said I'll have it in a box please.
That'll be £1.80 please.
Sorry I thought it was £1.60.

Yes, we charge 20p fire a box.

I said, "that's a joke right?"

"no"

Ok, bye.

Shame as they do good food by reputation.

Think of that as an environmental tax. Chip boxes are almost always non-recyclable.

The AA.

What's up with them?

I was with them about 20 years. Only ever used about twice due to flat battery. Then my car turned 10 years old so they doubled the premium. Of course I left and will never return even with a new car.

The Co-op. Horrible shop that rips customers off with overpriced, tasteless food past it's sell by date and workers that don't. 2 tills open, 20 customers, and workers standing around talking to each other and ignoring customers, to the point where some just leave bskets on the floor and walk out.

A village high street near me has TWO Co-op stores, about 200m from each other. Twice as bad.

You have my deepest sympathy.

 

[Salar]

Epson.

When their printers work they are great, unfortunately in my case that is a rarity.

Also Currys PC World, won't go anywhere near them.

 

[FishFright]

Ferrari - you will never see me in one of their over priced small cars, totally impractical for my family of 4 on a camping trip. Truely awful.

I bet you can't wait for their upcoming S.U.V , that'll be right up your strada

 

[Mark Grant]

Stuart Turner. I've spent far too many hours trying to get their dreadful marine engines to start.

I've recently been given an old Stuart marine engine, apparently from one of the Dunkirk 'little boats'.

 

[wheresthetorch]

BT - stands for Bastard Thieves.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

A list so long I wouldn't know where to start.

 

[MountainSide]

I avoid ALL Virgin branded products or services. Put up with such an awful Virgin Media "experience" for year after year thanks to "loyalty" discounts each time I tried to leave but in the end you just realise life is too short to be constantly feeding so called engineers a diet of coffee and biscuits, that you just don't want to have anything to do with them any more.

You'll get pretty fit swinging the starting handle.

My local bakers. A few months after we moved in, I got a loaf of bread. Did I want it sliced? Thanks, that would be great. That'll be £1.15. Er, it says £1.10. We charge 5p for slicing. Do you? Well, most people don't. If you do, don't you think you should tell people? Most people know. Well I didn't. Might I suggest that if you want to charge for slicing, you put it on your prices board, and perhaps tell people verbally when you offer to slice their bread. [Surly look.] Don't pay it then. I won't. And I'll tell you what else I won't do. I won't ever come in this shop again. And I haven't. In 21 years.

Sounds like the bakers in Salcombe. Really nice pasties, but terrible customer service.

I'd like to add to the list of companies who can do one:
Anyone who contacts me on Linkedin out of the blue with an "opportunity". Yeah, no.
