Companies you refuse to give business to

Are there any companies / businesses / franchises / services you refuse to support with your money because of personal or ethical reasons?

"Gas 'n' Snacks" and "Bucky's". Two joke businesses around here. Also, Dell, Alienware, LG, Infinity Ward, and many others.

ANZ Bank.

I literally spit on any and all buildings of theirs I come across.

Namely video game publishing companies who sell DRM infested PC games. I will not buy anything that has limited activations or requires an internet connection. And I have added Ubisoft to my black list, I have vowed to never buy a game from them again.

I dunno, but I always go to Bucky's and Gas 'N' Snacks...love those two.

I feel sorry for you man. The first time I went to Bucky's I ordered tater tots and got four. Smokin' deal!

I hate this town. :P

I want it to be Apple, but I own an iPhone. I'll be remedying this soon when I buy my Evo and take a whiz on my 3G ...

I hate iTunes with a passion.

Gamestop is probably my biggest one. I haven't bought anything from them in at least 5 years.

Best Buy simply because I hate the Geek Squad and Chase, their incompetence is just unbelievable..

Eb Games, Ubisoft and Apple

I don't think there's any companies that I REFUSE to give service to...I pretty much never shop at places like Hollister and Abercrombie though. Way too overpriced for the cliche merchandise they sell there, and just a little too preppy for me :?

Skull Candy, You can get way better headphones for the same price and they won't make you look like a tool.

Hollister, They sell the fake California life style.

Nintendo...just don't understand it anymore.

Gillete razor blades. I heard they cut rabbits and put experimental chemicals on the wounds.

places like hollister and american eagle. I seen their clothing at school and they look boring. Thats why most of my clothes comes efrom Hot Topic

At my mall if you draw lines connecting Hollistr, American Eagle, and Aeropostale it forms a triangle so my friends and I call it the devils corner.

HP.

Citgo, because Chavez owns that company.

what'd they do to you?

Perform an unneeded chargeback on a purchase from Steam, thereby leaving Steam to assume credit card fraud and completely disable my account. ANZ bank refused to reverse it and give the money back to Steam, so I lost my old Steam account. I had to buy a second copy of CounterStrike: Source and I can't play Modern Warfare 2 or Team Fortress 2 anymore.

whats wrong with hot topic? if they have shirts I like then I will gladly go in there and buy them. Its one of my favorite places to shop at. Sure they sell twilight clothing, but they make with the awesome comic book, video game, and movie t shirts.

I don't patronize Walmart. I won't buy Infinity Ward games.

I'm an apple hater. I can't think of any other companies I actively avoid.

I've had nothing but bad experiences at the Computer Renaissance near my house. I know my stuff as far as computers go so they leave me alone but if someone comes in who doesn't know much about them the staff will treat them like dirt. They will roll their eyes, chuckle to themselves about things a customer will ask (serious questions mind you) and as soon as they leave the store the employees will come to ME and say things like "Can you believe that guy?" I can't believe they're still in business honestly. The only thing they have going for them is they will custom build you a computer.

Apple. Overpriced.

This is interesting, but I wish people would post more of their reasons. Like, why EB Games/Gamestop?

BP, but I never used their gas to begin with. There are plenty of places I avoid because they are overpriced or bad products, but I don't avoid any other than BP on moral grounds.

Some people don't have reasons, they just jump on the bandwagon.
