In 1966 a chevron station in Wichita Kansas refused to let my dad use the restroom to change my diaper because he didn’t need gas.

Nobody in my family has used chevron gas since the mid 1960s.

Dell. I bought a computer for my wife, 2 days later it went in sale. They still hadn’t built it yet. I called and asked them to match the sale price or cancel the order they refused. The person told me they had my money and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. I told them I would make them lose 100 times what they screwed me for, and I worked in IT so I would.

A few years later I was in a senior position with a company of over 850 staff. After I dropped Dell from an approved vendor the Dell rep reached out to me to have lunch. At lunch I told them why. They then told my boss and tried to have me fired. My boss called them a s*****g and said he would never buy another Dell as well.

Later I became a part of a company that did computers for over 5,000 employees in several companies. And Dell once again stopped being a choice.

Over my career I’m sure I cost them many times more than I said I would. It may seem petty to some but I think they deserved it for having terrible customer service.
