Credit card chargeback. The services you paid for were not rendered.
They ran the train but lockdown started the next day so my 8 day trip was off. Then they said you couldn't get a refund on advanced tickets but could rebook later (at extra cost) up to a certain date but who knew when lockdown would end? I wouldn't have been able to get more leave anyway. Then they said a few days later that advance ticket refund would be given but when I applied they said "Too late, it's after the date you were due to travel". Every other company I'd booked with gave refunds even those bookings that were non-refundable. It looks like Caledonian Sleeper's days might be numbered anyway. Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Carl's Jr. because of that awful sexualized man campaign. Awful ad campaigns also for Dove, Axe, Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's. I'm sure there are others I'm not remembering at the moment.
Burger King and Chili's because of cavalier attitudes towards food poisoning.
McD's, Twitter, Susan G. Komen, commercialized fundraising of any kind, and Reddit for obvious reasons.
Lots of games I won't play and apps I won't download because of their ads.
Can I get a link to that Carl’s Jr commercial?
There were multiple. It went on a couple of years.
Most.
For being shitty.
Seagate - bought 3 of their drives . All 3 failed within a month of the warranty being up. But they said "Warranty is up so suck it"; two can play that game.
