So, I really get torqued by businesses that have the "You need me more than I need you attitude". Some I just try to avoid all together and there are a few places I will never do business with again.
In your opinion what are the 3 worst businesses and why, in as little of writing as possible.
1. Direct TV (FULL BOYCOTT) - Worst customer service ever, long term customers get shafted and get no incentives unless you threaten to cancel. Then they bow in front of you and beg for you to stay with short term offers, the offers disappear before the term they promised. They are a very sneaky company. ALWAYS check your bill and never set-up AUTO PAY.
2. Wells Fargo Bank (FULL BOYCOTT) - They have no "Personal" in Personal Banking. No customer service and FREE doesn't mean FREE.
3. Best Buy Product Support - Customer service reps must pull double duty for Direct TV cause they are just as bad. Lame *kitten* geek squad coverage "Never" works the way it was marketed. I like Best Buy for their sales and financing, but I guess they see it as you saved the money on the goods, so they cut the money from customer service.

DirecTV provides me with amazing customer support, I've been a customer since 2002 and never had any issues getting deals when I tried.0

I guess the wouldn't make your worst 3 then.....
It's nice to know they treat all of their customers the same.0 -

Had this same experience as well. I cancelled all my TV and now use my moms Netflix when I want to watch anything but for the most part I don't watch TV.
As for the other 2 I would have to seriously think about it, I haven't had bad service many placed but then again I do not shop for things very often.0 -

Dude lay off of DirecTV they are awesome.
I dont know if I have three but my # 1 most hated company is....
COLDSTONE: It's been five years at least since I've gone there. How do I go in there on my birthday with a "free" coupon and then end up paying five bucks for ice cream. I have to read the fine print to get ice cream on my birthday. Never again. Plus they enjoy humiliating their staff by singing for money like a vagabond.
BIG FREDS PIZZA: Its local. And I actually don't hate them. Pizza is delish. I will never dine in again though. No free refills on Pop? Dude charged me like 9 bucks in Pop. What the heck? 25 cents for the mints? Really?
COX: I add on some colorful language at the end of their name to express my feelings for them. I hate them. I no longer have cable with them and I only have internet because there are no other options.0 -

Will NEVER do business with Comcast again after several bad problems (including digging up my lawn to place wiring and damaging my sprinkler lines) and the pathetic service it took to correct the issue (8 months worth of back and forth).Comcast
