What companies will you never give another dollar to?

What happened that put them on your blacklist?

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.
