‘Which brand do you boycott for a petty reason?’ – 16 Redditors taking their business elsewhere

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.

There’s a Peruvian chicken place near where I used to live. They make pretty good sandwiches but like 5 times in a row I went in and ordered one and they told me they were out of bread. So I boycotted the place for like ten years till we moved away.

Manscaped. Because their ads seem to have the most annoying timing ever, and they come off as manipulative with their message of “Women will think you’re gross if you don’t trim your nutsack with our Globetrimmer Weedwacker Hedgetidy 3.0”

I once opened a can of Del Monte fruit cocktail and IT WAS MISSING THE HALF CHERRY. After several strongly worded letters to corporate and zero satisfaction, I decided a full boycott was in order.

Oh I can do petty.
I boycott my local Co-op because I once tried to buy a sandwich lunch deal for £3.50 and the woman at the till said that’s a Premium lunch item and it should be £5.50.
I said, it’s on the shelf labelled as a “main”, NOT a premium main. And nothing on the packaging suggested it was premium item, in fact it literally said ‘MAIN’ on the label.
I now refuse to grace them with my custom.
I go to Morrisons instead and get a worse sandwich for more money!

SUBWAY. I was 9 months pregnant, ordered a sub on their app, the order went through and I was charged. I went to pick it up and the store was closed all day (it was a holiday, I didn’t realize, pregnancy brain fog). I went back the next day and was told they had no way of checking and I had to come back when a manager was there 10-11 on Tuesdays and Thursdays only (??). Despite showing my receipt and assuming they should have had a record on their end? Anyway I went back during the ONE hour period I was given, and the manager wasn’t there. The employee said they had no record of it.
I called and emailed corporate and was given the run around/no response.
They’ve lost me as a customer for life because that’s the only power I have in the situation.

I still don’t buy nabisco brand vanilla wafers because they moved their factory out of my neighborhood in the 1990’s and now I can’t smell them baking from my backyard.

I just wanted to look at soap but now 8 different employees have come up to me and asked if I need help or tried to make conversation. Fucking GO AWAY.
