People Share 22 Companies They’ve Permanently Blacklisted And The Stories Behind Each One

Then there's their pushing baby formula to impoverished countries with contaminated water supplies. Vile company.

Nestle was blacklisted in my mind decades ago, when they pushed their baby formula on poor mothers in Africa, who didn't have regular access to clean water. The babies got watered down formula (to make the expensive formula last longer), done with dirty water, causing the mothers' milk to dry up, and the kids to get sick and/or die. It's not easy to boycott them, however, as they own companies in many different fields...

I saw somewhere... I wish I could remember where, because it was a good source, that by the time manufacturing and human rights (particularly slavery) are factored in, Nestle was argueably the most morally corrupt company on earth.

I never buy from them anymore. Once I found out about this and that they actually stated that water "isn't a human right", they lost my business forever and earned both my middle fingers in their face.

SO many things they have done worth being banned for

Gotcha. Marie Sharp’s it is, then!

I saw a lot of posts on social media from the USA, how weird this became with charging 100-200 dollars for cleaning fee, and also including that fee in the preis. In Europe is not so at the are-you-fcking-kidding-me level, but slowly reaching. Like 5-6 years beforw, I got a kitchen equipped with basic things, like salt-pepper-oil-dried spices-tea bags-coffee-sugar. Sometimes a bit of care-bag for your first breakfast, like bread/buns-butter-cheese-tomatoes-cucumber-ham-bacon-eggs. Nothing too much, just for 1-2 days' breakfast. And sometimes a bottle of -usually dry- white wine. Slowlí, this disappeared also from european version of Airbnb. I used to book with them, but not anymore. Although, they didn't reached the entitlement and prices of their USA's version.

People who use what Airbnb has become are stupid. You can stay at a nice hotel and not have to do chores for about the same price.

tip of the iceberg

Wells Fargo is a scummy operation.

Wells Fargo is worse than any mafia.

1800$ FOR A CONCERT TICKET???? That in itself is a scam...

I once couldn't get tickets via Ticketmaster so I rang the venue. Ended up with almost front row seats for a fraction of the price. I can't use Ticketmaster anymore because they don't believe I'm a human. I'm clearly too good at spotting traffic lights.

i agree they really suck...added $138 fee to $419 billy joel tickets and an $8 venue charge

I can't believe how pervasive TicketMaster is throughout the world. Surely it's now more economical for promoters to deal with their own ticket sales, like they used to, than to allow TicketMaster to take its [probably very generous] percentage, and effectively rip off fans.

This was years ago, so it got worse since. But they reported 12 BILLION dollars in profit. That's PROFIT, as in money that goes right into their pockets. That same year, Walmart employees needed 5 Billion in government assistance, because Walmart uses every loophole to pay under a living wage. But they Could have paid that living wage and STILL MADE 7 BILLION IN PROFIT. Instead, they stole 5 Billion in taxpayer dollars.

they don't hire full time to avoid benefits. Raises are minimal, hour are cut. Been there, done that

They also forced a lot of companies to offshore production to meet price points. Mr. Sam used to have American made signs on products. When he died they went away.

Well, in the US, everything else is called SOCIALISM.

Comcast routinely makes the list of "10 most hated corporations."

This has been the way since I started paying for cable. I vowed never to use them 30 years ago in school, well, at our new house, for years, xfinity was the only option for inets. Hated writing that check for years. Neighborhood finally got fiber, burned the last xfin bill... Now, MIL is getting older and I am taking care of cable etc... Guess what... We can only get Xfin.. I Hate Comcast...

Have you an Ombudsman in your country?

there are times when i am happy that in germany you don't have that much overflow of fast food chains. i am good with McD, BK and KFC. I'd prefer to go to a local burger or kebab shop.

They hate people of my type. But I don't care, because I know how to cook.

Chik fil a is food for people who don't like seasoning and prefer bland food with no flavor. I don't understand why people think its so good. And ditto to Hobby Lobby. Both put their politics in the forefront.

Always consider taking legal action. If it's a small claim, go to small claims court. They do these things on the assumption that you'll let it slide.

I got released from a 6 month stretch in county jail for signing on with Salvation Army. I was supposed to serve 6 months working and (praying) with them in lieu of jail time.they worked us relentlessly with no time to ourselves. If we weren't working we were in a bible class or an AA meeting. Even meals were not fun. God forbid you set your dish on the wrong side of the placemat. Long story short, I left and did my 6 months in Santa Rita Jail, and was MUCH happier!

This is why if I make donations I donate to either secular organisations, or the local Sikh temple or Mosque. I know where the donations are going to them.

They make millions of dollars and they serve the most disgusting food I've ever seen at homeless community centers. Rats wouldn't even touch it.

They are also homophobic.

Sadly, given our rural area, Verizon is the best ISP as ATT S-U-C-K-S. Verizon keeps asking if we want phone service. I keep explaining we use Consumer Cellular as a 2 phone plan costs as much as a 1 phone plan with them.

The original Photoshop was expensive, like like 600€. Bit on current subscription you pay the same amount in 2 years, and have to continue to pay if want to use it. Upgrades - yes, they are OK. But I have PS 6 CS and it still does whatever I need.

I completely left them. Enough alternatives: Topaz, Affinity. DaVinci Resolve etc.

Who TF cares about them, when you have alternatives?

We only order food from places that deliver their own. This means most of the smaller restaurants, the Chinese food, pizzas and such. Ask the next time you're in a place, chances are they deliver and won't charge. Food delivery services are scams. Even McDonald's delivers.
