State Farm would be longest. Had been a customer for several years with no missed payments, but they dropped me out of the blue around 2001 because my personal credit had gotten too low for their liking.
Also ESPN...I have not watched any programming on their network except game broadcasts since 2011 due to Bountygate and their sucking off of Bama before 1/9/12. I did.make 1 exception of SVP post game report after 2019 NC...but nothing else in almost 15 years.

There is valid research that states that 63% of customers will stop purchasing a product or service because of the indifference of one employee.

Lowe’s 2002

I was an appliance specialist and would get commissions from selling certain products. Then one day, they decided to take all the money the appliance companies had paid them instead of giving it to their employees. That and they had Chinese overtime. Everything over 40 hours was paid half of your hourly rate.

Enterprise. I’m on the ‘banned’ list. Had a rental car stolen by some crackhead who then got in an accident and they wanted me to pay a $1,000 deductible for insurance. I told them to go frick themselves.


If your insurance has a $1,000 deductible and you had your car stolen, isn’t that what you would owe? Or did you leave the keys in it when it was “stolen”? I see this a lot by morons who shite on a company, when they themselves are culpable.

Ashley Furniture…product is crap
We bought a set of dressers for the bedroom…salesman talked my wife into buying a warranty…I couldn’t talk her out of it…
One drawer broke(won’t stay up) a month in and they refused to honor the warranty…what else can break on a dresser than a drawer? shitty company will never go back.

I refuse to drink Dasani bottled water. Go to a hot event (lsu football in sept or lsu baseball in June) and take an ice cold Dasani out of an ice chest to hydrate, chug it, and tell me you are not more thirsty after you drink it than before?

Take a Dasani bottle and 3 other bottled water brands and compare the ingredients. The ingredients are the same except Dasani puts some sort of salt/sodium in their water that none of the others do.


The very fact that Dasani is still in business is an insult to my intelligence!

HEB / Chime debit card.

I was told all the ATM's inside Walgreens were free when I signed up a family member for the Chime card. I was also told the ATM's inside HEB that are owned by the bank were free.

Those were both lies and I was only able to get back half of what they stole from him after arguing for about six months.

It's been since 2015 or so since I've been to HEB.

Haven’t bought anything from Nike since Kaepernicks “Even if it means sacrificing everything” ad. Hate it too - they were my go to for athletic gear for a long time.

Also shame my wife anytime she wants to go to Target after the bathing suite incident.

Camping World 2016. We had been shopping for a 5th wheel for about 6 months. Our first visit was to a local Camping World. I wanted to buy from them because service would be close to home. Met the salesman who followed up with me for months.

After looking at many other places, I made an appointment with the salesman at Camping World. The wife and I show up ready to buy that day and were told he’s with another customer. So much for making an appointment. They stick us with a new guy. As we are walking through the camper we wanted, the first thing he asks us is how good is our credit.

I told him it didn’t matter because we wouldn’t be buying from them. We went back in the office, told the salesman and the manager why they lost a sale that day. They called all afternoon trying to make a deal but I wouldn’t budge. I probably missed out on a great deal.

Ended up buying from Dixie RV in Hammond.

Wal Mart - especially the small hunting town wal marts. Check uself out, then get checked going out the door by the only employee actually working because you look like you are the stealing type pulling a side by side that cost the price of 10000 of their buggies. Everyone is on break all the time, lazy are stand around with ear buds in, no one can issue a license to the dummy in your group that can’t just buy one in his phone. Hate that place bro. Plus all the other crap written about wal marts. THIS YES THIS, GETTING ANGRY MAN SYNDROME TYPING.

Buffalo Wild Wings


Been a little frustrating at times back when I was often traveling for work and I’d end up in a hotel close to a BWW and there was a specific game I knew I could watch at their bar but would have a hard time finding another spot playing it.


But I’m a man of principle

I own a lifetime license in TX. Lady at small town WM could not give me my annual tags because she did not believe lifetime licenses existed.

First attempt- “I can’t find that.”
“Ok. Please look again, this is not a scam.”
Second attempt -“OK sir, that’ll be $xx.xx”
“No ma’am. I’ve already paid in full for the lifetime license. Can we get sometime to help?”
Third attempt with supervisor. Problem resolved. “Well, I didn’t know this was a thing…”
“I guess we both learned something today.”

Yes, GM and Stellantis got their last penny of mine via Barack Obama.

That deal sent a friend of mine back to work for the rest of his life from retirement when GM bonds went to nothing.
