The relationship between a customer and a business can last a lifetime. Thanks to Michael Jordan, my first basketball shoes were Nike, and even though it's been a decade since I was involved in the sport, I still choose the brand over its competitors when I need athletic gear.
However, just like in interpersonal relationships, one can make a mistake that leads to a breakup. Reddit user SnakeCharmerSensei asked everyone on the platform to reveal which companies they've sworn off and why, and disappointed consumers immediately started listing their experiences. Here are the most memorable ones.

I worked at AT&T when we tested AI during troubleshooting. It was only a pilot team, where it was used to listen to calls during troubleshooting and at the end to provide notes to be added into cx's account. It was hilarious. About 10% somehow accurate and usable. Then about 50% so overly descriptive, but lost on actual action taken - it would have to be edited first in order to be used. The rest - totally out of reality, utter gibberish. The aim of the whole was to save time on after call work. This was also to train AI to provide L1 troubleshooting support - basically telling CX to turn off modem, reset, reboot, check cables, etc. Dumb stuff any normal person would do if your internet is down.

Or even worse, using AI instead of a human who enjoys making art. My local bookstore used to display art seasonally in their store window. It saddened me to see that a place normally promoting culture and art has turned to AI slop instead. I'm annoyed enough to be currently reviewing bookstores in nearby towns.

Walgreens.
I have a handful of monthly medications that need refilling and their pharmacy became such a hugely hassle to deal with. They would be late filling them, couldn't keep the simplest things straight and were criminally understaffed.
I moved all my stuff to a small, local pharmacy a couple of years ago - in fact, I'm just back from it - and they are 180° from Walgreens. They went to the trouble of getting all of the refill dates aligned so I don't have to make 5 trips a month And they are noticeably cheaper.
It's actually a pleasure to go.

Walgreens also empowered their staff to make decisions about whether they feel comfortable filling a legal prescription - don't go into the pharmacology field if you have qualms about what Drs are prescribing to their patients, your job is to fill the script, not make moral judgements.

We have a big name pharmacy that you never know if it is open or not, because they send the staff to other store to help. You'll be told your prescription is ready, hours of business noted, and when you show up, there will be a sign saying they're closed for the day, and to come back tomorrow.

When I was with Rite-Aid, they insisted on charging whatever price was listed on my insurance formulary. Generic d***s were like $10.

Kimmel would be my go-to late night show, but it's bit of a hassle because ABC (and Fox) are no longer on the Dish satellite service we use. I assume this is because they raised their prices that Dish would have to pay to carry their content. This puzzles me because it must have reduced ad revenue for ABC and Fox. Now, something more confusing has developed. Our local (former) ABC affiliate now carries Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, but the ABC prime time shows and Kimmel have moved to another channel. The new channel is 7-2, with 7-1 being our local Fox affiliate, implying some sort of connection between Fox and ABC, despite them being owned by different parent corporations. Colbert has been our backup option for late night and now he's getting pulled. I'm sick of it all: the fragmentation caused by contract disputes & streaming services, advertising on paid subscription services, the political attacks, broadcasters getting extorted by the administration and caving, all of it!

Anytime Fitness. I paused my membership while out of the country for a month. When I came back they told me I requested it too late (2 weeks before the payment). And they suddenly insisted my payment the month before didn't go through even though I paid that one in cash. I tried to cancel right then and they said they will cancel after I pay for the 2 months. I did just to get out of the contract, filled out the cancellation and had it confirmed through email. Next month they bombard me with payment reminders and call me multiple times. I left a one star review describing all this, suddenly they are apologetic and say they canceled it now and to please remove my review. I left the review up lol.

On the other side: At one sport facility, in the contract it states you pay for 6 months a lower amount per month then if you would have a monthly subscription. People get that 6 month contract because it's cheaper and then want to cancel in the summermonths because they are going on holiday. No, you signed a contract and this (one person run) business relies on the gaurantees they have with a contract. How can people not understand how contracts work? (This is not about cancelling at the earliest possible date/not renewing the contract. It's during the contract.)

I'm Celiac, which I recognize makes me a challenge for restaurants.
We had been recommended a pizza place that served gluten free pizza. So we went. The pizza was great, atmosphere was great, it was overall great.
The owner himself came over to take our payment as our server was either on break or busy. I made sure to tell him it was great and to thank him profusely for offering options for those of us with this specific brand of defective intestine, and he then launched into a whole spiel about how he hated doing it and that "gluten is the point of pizza."
I was completely and totally baffled. On top of the fact that you don't *need* to do it at all, here you have a customer who paying you $150 (wine, appies, cocktails, pizza, dessert, tip) *because you do* for a night out and is basically about to be a customer for a long time and you're s******g all over a big reason why.

Spent $20k having Bekins move my household 5 states away. They sub out every piece of the move apparently. The packers they sent looked like they were out on a prison work release. Unknown to us, instead of packing drawer contents carefully, they just upended the drawers into a box and taped it shut.
One of the packers shoved me (I'm female) but we had no choice but to continue (10k down payment made, 1 lease surrendered & new lease signed with 5k in deposits made.)
In the middle of the move, the driver's truck started experiencing difficulty, so he just drove to his home in another state, offloaded our container into a field next to his house in the direct sun and Bekins stopped communicating with us.
After a week and dozens of calls to the move manager assigned to us, I looked up the phone number for the president of Bekins and put my husband on the phone with him. He told him that he either called us by the end of the day with the date we could expect our belongings or he was gonna file a police report for theft. That solved the problem.
Never. Ever. And I mean EVER. Use Bekins.

I used TurboTax for my federal taxes, and it said state filing was included at no extra charge. Everything looked fine, so I paid. But the next day, I was charged about $100 more.
When I called support, the rep accused me of lying and trying to commit fraud, insisting TurboTax never offered free state filing. I sent screenshots showing otherwise.
I later made a new account to check and discovered the trick: the “Total” page hides an additional cost below a hidden scroll area with no scrollbar. They made it look free, then charged extra.

I rarely buy clothes there, because their measurements are shít (e.g. the 5XL leggings I bought fit my mother snugly - only: I'm obese - hence 5XL - and her figure is EU 42/44, US 10/12). Generic small things like camping paraphernalia, office gewgaws or bobby pins are the same meh China stuff as Temu, only more expensive. Their customer service is better, but since I rarely try to return anything I hardly profit from that. I refuse to pay prime fees and STILL get ads. Their search engine performance is abysmal, unless you know EXACTLY what you want to buy - and it likes to "lose" most of the items when you use the "order by price" function. Seriously: more than 20k results ordered by price reduced the output to fewer than 150, many of which were sponsored to boot. All in all: 3/5, mostly for the overwhelming number and variety of things to buy - provided you find what you're looking for.

Also they kept putting those stupid cardboard displays in the middle of the aisles, I remember when I was a child, you could have two shopping carts pass with plenty of room in between them.

i was standing in line at the walmart self checkout, and a guy in front of me was ringing in what appeared to be a few hundred dollars worth of items. the attendant was on her phone, and he looked right at her, put the stuff in the cart and walked out without paying. when i walked up to the register his order was still there so i tell the attendant what i saw, and she accused me of stealing. said she was calling the police unless i paid for what was on the screen. called management and security, spent about 90 seconds being accused of theft by them, until i slowly pointed to the camera display with the guys face frozen on it and a large red "UNSCANNED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA" banner on it. they reviewed the footage and said "okay you can pay for your items now." i bought my items, walked to the door, and the SAME security guys tried to check my bag, i told them that if they didnt move right now, we were both going through that window. they let me leave and i havent been back.

When security asks to see my receipt I tell them " no, if you don't trust me to ring myself out, then you shouldn't have self-service check out" and keep walking.

So frustrating that they said it would bring down prices due to labour savings, but has only increased profit as prices continue to skyrocket. I would happily do self checkout for a small discount on my purchase.

A Sushi place I used to go to quite often, Owners mother came to work for them. Carrying the Bento box and my rolls, her thumb was in my rice. I complained to the owner and she just shrugged it off, "it's my mom what can you do?". I replied I can never come here again, she didn't believe me as I was a weekly customer. That was my last visit, I ran into the owner a few months later and she exclaimed, what Happened? we miss you. I retold the complaint and she brushed it off again. I called the health department, they shut them down, not for fingers in the food but the food storage was atrocious for fresh fish. The local paper did a write up on how the inspector found various types of fish in a single container cross contaminating and non wrapped or covered in the walkin.
Turns out there were other health complaints about the place and multiple people reporting food poisoning.

We used to go to a mom and pop chinese restaurant in my hometown. Ma learned her craft on the streets of Hong Kong and the food was spectacular. The problem was their sanitation. The one instance that finally turned us off was when Pa cleaned the fish tank, walked into the kitchen, grabbed the water pitcher and came right out, no hand washing at all.

Halfords fitted a new battery in my car. About 3 months later they did my mot + service and told me my battery hadn't been fitted properly was unsafe and that it would cost £x to repair.
Stupid idiots hadn't clocked that they had fitted it and got very defensive when I pointed this out, asked if it should still be under warranty and told them that they would be fixing it at their own cost. They did but I've found a more trustworthy garage since.

In the UK, it was more likely to be a debit card than a credit card. There, just like many other countries, credit cards are not for every day usage. NZ example here: we order for delivery every so often, pizza, Indian etc. The local Indian place do free delivery and tipping is not expected at all. Pizza and other deliveries are pay on delivery via mobile wireless EFTPOS. If the delivery is wrong/incomplete, we pay for what's delivered, not what was ordered.

We tried to order from them three times when they first started. You could literally see the bike on the map go towards our house, turn around and go back. "He couldn't find our house."

They once double charged me on 2 orders I'd placed months before. Took me forever to figure out what the charges were because I hadn't ordered anything from them in so long. Their customer service refused to refund me so I got the charges refunded through my bank, instead. Crazy thing is now I can't order rides through them because my account says I still owe them money for those two double charges. Uber Eats/Uber is a trash company.👎

My dog got nipped in the ear at a doggy daycare he attended at least once a week for 4 years. The cut was tiny but he was absolutely covered in blood since he’s white and the ears are super sensitive for dogs. They made no attempt to clean him up or at least put a human bandaid on his ear until I got there. The daycare recently had a new management take over so this was the last straw. Then they didn’t even call or text to check up on him after 4 years of loyal service.

My then nine-year old daughter loved playing Webkinz, a game where you buy stuffed animals that come with codes and you can then interact with virtual versions online. She had done extra work and saved up $40 for months to buy some sort of treasure pack, and when she finally purchased it a bug in their software prevented her from receiving the things she had saved so hard to purchase. No biggy, I thought, I'll just contact support and see if they can fix it or, worst case, give her a refund for the loot she didn't get.
I got a constant runaround from their eStore to their online support to their phone support, and in the end they first implied that it was my daughter's fault for not understanding how to work their mobile app, then when I presented the evidence that she had done exactly what they told her to do they sent this:

The sight of my daughter bursting into tears when all of her hard work was wasted because this petty-a*s company couldn't be bothered to fix things is forever seared into my brain.
Part of my career has been presenting on how to create exceptional customer experiences; at this point, I've probably presented to nearly 1,000 CEOs over the last ten years. And every time, I tell them this story, with names, as a cautionary tale. Don't be like Webkinz and the Ganz company that owns them.

Their HTML code that they inherited from the previous company is spaghetti and doesnt work well, not necessarily their fault but they cant seem to fix it for the life of them, so paid stuff doesnt work as well... and support is thus overwhelmed with those requests.

Active.com
I was reviewing my credit card statement and saw a charge for $100-some from active.com. I looked around and discovered that I was being charged my annual fee for being a member of Active Advantage. Turns out I'd signed up for a 5k using Active.com a year before, but I had not wanted to join their annual club. I called them up and finally got to a real human. He was so rude. He kept talking over me, interrupting me constantly.
He maintained that I was responsible for joining their annual club. He said that it's an opt-in program. I assured him that I had not signed up for it. He hung up on me.
I went to their website and looked. Turns out the guy was technically correct - when you sign up for a race, there is a series of TINY check marks in a row, one of which is opting into their club.
I haven't signed up for a race that uses active.com since then. .

Here we go again! I've posted my Hertz experience before... and I'll gladly post it eveytime!
Was in Seattle for work and took a few days off to fly the girlfriend up and go to Olympic National Park over 4th of July weekend. Went to pick up the rental car I had reserved from the local Hertz location and was told by the associate that they didn't have enough cars and the two people in line ahead of me were getting the last two cars they had. I step off to the side to call Hertz corporate while the guy is helping these two people and am told the only cars available in the area are at the airport (a $50 cab ride away) and that it would be over double the cost of what I had reserved online. I asked them to check local places in the area and was assured I would be called back.
I walk back over to talk to the local agent to find he had bailed without saying a single word to me. So at this point I'm 40 minutes from the airport, my girlfriend is getting ready to land, we still had a 2 hour drive to make that night, and no rental car for the trip unless I wanted to pay over double the original cost. I wait for the call back, of course don't get one, and call again 30 minutes later. I get told the same thing and request to speak to a manager who of course "just stepped out but will call you right back when he is in". Another 30 minutes later, another call and this time I tell them I am staying on the line until they connect me with the manager or someone who can get me a car at the price I reserved. The associate told me they couldn't stay on the line with me and promptly hung up.
And to add something I forgot, I was travelling enough for work at the time that I was one of their Hertz Gold Plus blah blah blah rewards people. Literally had rented a car Monday-Friday for ~48 weeks of the year for over a year and a half and that's how I was treated.

The second time I went, and again, they got it wrong with the protein i wanted, cheese and salsa. At one point, I told them what salsa I wanted even pointed to it, and they still chose the wrong one and just rushed through. I got annoyed and told them that its wrong and not what I wanted, and the employee seemed genuinely pissed off when I asked if they could remake it.
