40 Times A Brand Made A Small Mistake, And It Annoyed People So Much They Boycotted Them

The censored word is "scúmbag" for everybody wondering.

Did the exact same thing in our company for the very same reason. Don't mess with the IT Boss.

Thoroughly deserved. What kind of customer service is "well, we have your money now... There's nothing you can do about it"

completely deserved. They even tried to have you fired which i'm sure just added more fuel to the flame lol not smart

Now THAT is an admirable grudge

Life long curse 😆

I have been in stores that won't let you use the restroom (illegal in a lot of places) & have walked out of the store, leaving behind a buggy full of items I would've otherwise purchased, telling the cashier/mgr why as I was leaving. I refuse to patronize those stores ever again, IDC who it is or how much I liked them in the past! I also have medical issues that sometimes necessitate having to use a restroom at any given moment, but even if I didn't, that's not the point!

I don't think anyone should use them anymore!

Disgraceful

About 25 years ago, I my son was hungry and he wanted Subway. He was just getting old enough to go into some businesses himself and do things such as this without "mommy" help so I sent him in with a $20. A little while later, he returned to the car with a sandwich, chips, and soda and handed me the change, but it wasn't nearly enough change. So, I went into the store to get the correct change. It turns out like any 10 year old, my son ordered the sandwich, chips and a soda, but didn't say the magic word "combo," so he was charged the individual prices and not the discounted "combo" price. I accused them of cheating a child and demanded the proper change. After arguing with the owner and telling everyone who came in that they cheated a child, I finally got the money. I nor anyone in my family has eaten at a Subway since. Don't cheat, but especially, don't cheat a child.

I have never had a subway because their stores smell vile. How is it that they bake their own bread but somehow manage to smell so unappetising? That's not what food smells like.

Subway sucks anyway.

Dispute the charge

Subway thought they were being modern and accommodating by offering gluten-free buns. They even ask you (like it's not a duuh!) if you want them to change their gloves before handling the GF bun. Then they take their hands and go into the toppings bins that everyone else who has been handling gluten-containing buns has had their hands in and expect me to accept that this is now a GF sandwich. It's not. It's been cross-contaminated. They need to pull the GF toppings out of the backstock drawer under the counter, so the food is clean, or they need to use tongs on everything, so the tongs don't touch the gluten-contaminated buns, thereby transferring the contamination into the toppings. They ought not to bother with the GF stuff, because the end result is NEVER gluten-free. They don't have a clue. Maybe they could have asked a celiac to review their process.

They keep trying to move into the UK and keep failing. Good. Also, the name doesn't work over here because we don't use the French spelling or pronunciation of "fillet" (fil-ette, not fil-ay).

Salvation Army, same thing. I won't shop there because they are bigots. And they know it and tell their people not to discuss it because it reduces donations. Ya think???

Me as well but I don't find it petty, it's about morality.

I think an LGBT person works at my local chick-fil-a?

Also , Hobby Lobby , Home Depot , Target , most stores in Tx... Sigh

As if a tiny little business was any threat to them. Arseholes!

This is how Donald Trump cheated people. He'd tell them "sue me" I can buy more lawyers and the little guys he cheated i.e. didn't pay for work they did knew he would bleed them dry.

Fact Check here. 1) Her name was not Sony, she claimed in court her nickname was Sony. 2) Lawsuit was in 1987 when she opened her place, but Sony corp had the name Sony trademarked in the US since 1955 and sued her under Trademark violation law, bc the law requires you to challenge or lose your trademark. 3) Sony the Company never lost, she lost and ran out of money on appeal during the process bc she felt no one would confuse her food with the electronics company and that because of that the Trademark did not apply to this. A court disagreed. 4) In trademark law if you do not protect your trademark, and someone can prove you were aware others were using it (if you were unaware you are protected), then you can lose your trademark, and as Sony pointed out in the case that between 1955 and 1987 they had spent over 500million on advertising to establish their name and trademark.

This company's customer service is horrible. I don't by Sony any more.

Why would Sony even care, she was selling sandwiches, not electronics.

Me(f) shopping alone for a Ford. I pick one, and want to drive it. Salesman: Anybody with you? B***h I'm 35yrs old and I can afford the car. Drove 10 miles down the road, got a better deal, and shopped there ever since.

I think the OP is a bit silly to hold it against the car company given the reputation car salesmen have as scumbags, but I guess they did choose to hire him. I had something similar happen to me and I just boycotted that dealership, not the brand.

Does he get the Hank Hill Price?

This happened to my dad when I was young. My dad wanted to get my older sister a car, since Honda was a good first car. We went to the dealership and they were belittling my dad when he said he works as a custodian (they did not know my dad quit being an engineer because he was unhappy there). We left and my dad bought a Toyota.

I'm sure the Toyota dealer told Honda every time you bought a Toyota

new word added. Qunt

I don't eat in any of them because I prefer food.

I don't get the fascinaton with chick-fil-a, it is a chicken sandwhich for s**t's sake! Nothing even special. And I m right ther with you when it comes to Jimmy Johns!

John Shatner only owns 4% and hasnt had a position with them since 2018 when the board forced him out.
