Things People Bought and Said "Never Again"


They said with this whole "free market" thing that we should be getting good products or services at a reasonable prices, but sometimes that's just not the case. Other times, you get what you pay for. Sometimes a company is having a bad day, and other times it's just common knowledge that you won't be getting a good steak from the dollar store. Other than products, there are things people did that made them say "never again."

1.

Text - Splendidissimus 608 points · 2 days ago I ordered a different type of gravy at Cracker Barrel, and they brought it out to me still in a plastic pouch with microwaving instructions on it. I know things are prepackaged and reheated in a lot of places, but to not even bother dishing it up?

Text - dudinax 24.7k points · 2 days ago S 2 AT&T from back in the days of long distance, said they'd get me a good rate to Thailand, which we call all the time. Bill comes and its 10x the advertised rate. I call. The first guy can't fix the bill. I escalate to a "manager". He says "You are correct. I'll fix your bill." Next day he calls back and says "we've decided not to fix your bill".

About 20 minutes into our agonizing conversation, she looked around and said: "Wait. You hate Pizzeria Uno." I replied: "I sure do. I'm not going to ruin a place that I like with terrible memories. I'm never entering a Pizzeria Uno again." And I haven't.

Text - RPShep 24.4k points · 2 days ago · edited 2 days ago Best Buy. I bought a washer and dryer there, and I paid for installation. The guy came out, installed them, turned them on, and left. The washer started flooding my laundry room within minutes. I called them back, and they said they couldn't come back to fix it. They're just bring me a new washer in a few days. New washer comes, gets installed, and again the guy leaves (even though I asked him not to). Again, it floods my laundry room.

Text - rosenewt 14.9k points · 2 days ago Ohio Savings Bank. They charged me 300 dollars over the span of a year because, unlike normal debit cards, every time I put my pin in instead of signing, it charged me an extra dollar fifty. By the time I caught it most of the charges were past the 30 day refund policy so they gave me 10 dollars as a refund. I didn't make a fuss because I know it's not the workers fault but I did withdraw all my money immediately and switched banks. Fuck that place.

Text - Avatar_014 14.1k points · 2 days ago Sprint- couple of years ago they let someone buy over $2,000 worth of phones in my moms name. Didn't ask for ID or anything. They got an address but it was off by a couple of numbers. My mom didn't notice for a couple of months when her credit got flagged when they were trying to get approved for a loan or something. She fought with Sprint to get the charges removed from her credit. We've never had Sprint before so don't know how that was a massive ove

Text - CoryVictorious 13.8k points - 2 days ago Planet Fitness. Manager called me after I had emailed about an issue and left a voice mail. Except when he hung up, he missed the receiver and I was treated to two minutes of him trash talking me. Called back and said "Yep, go ahead and cancel that membership and next time make sure you hang up". Fuck those chain gyms.

Text - Highplowp 12.1k points · 2 days ago Greyhound bus. If you've got no other option, buckle up, it's going to get weird. peacefullypanda 8.3k points · 2 days ago My dad always says, "you don't ride Greyhound to go somewhere. You ride it to leave somewhere."

Text - Moldruin 11.4k points · 2 days ago · edited 2 days ago Bonafont bottled water in Mexico. It is very rare that I buy water bottles at all, but when I do, I actively avoid that brand even if it's cheaper. Reason? Was my first ever 2 minute unskipabble ad on youtube years ago. Edit: As some of you have pointed out, 2 mins is unlikely and thinking about it it was probably a 30secs ad. Still, I'm being petty over the unskippable feature rather than the lenght.

Text - f1nchley 11.2k points 2 days ago O Spirit airlines. The one time my family has flown Spirit there was a crushed taco salad in the pull- down desk, and the whole plane smelled vaguely like baby powder

Text - Domo-omori 10.5k points · 2 days ago & 2 More Planet fitness. Moved back to my home state from SF. Forgot to cancel my membership. Tried from the App: Nope. Tried from my local Planet Fitness: Nope. Said i had to MAIL IN A COPY OF MY LICENSE ANS PROOF OF MEMBERSHIP. So i cancelled that credit card because that was easier than getting my membership cancelled.

Text - RedLodgeGrl 9.6k points · 2 days ago Dodge Ram. Bought new, had all service and oil changes done at the dealership. Paid above the monthly note and managed to pay it off about 6 months early. At 4.5 years/47K miles it throws a rod. Took the issue all the way up the chain. Was told that because the note was paid off, that we got our money's worth on the truck. Our "expectation that our truck should function beyond the length of the loan was unrealistic". F*ck Dodge, NEVER again.

Text - PassiveHulk 7.6k points · 2 days ago Long horn steak house. Reason: all but 2 people in our party (of 15 people) got horrid food poisoning. Mine was so bad that I threw out my back from vommiting and retching, and couldn't take pain medicine without throwing it up. So I couldn't sleep because of having intense stomach and back pain that lasted a week.

Text - Zetta216 5.0k points · 2 days ago · edited 2 days ago Dominoes. My order was delivered by one of their drivers. The website offers contactless delivery. They are supposed to leave it on the doorstep and go. Delivery guy gets here without a mask. Knocks on door. I ask him to mask up before I answer and he refuses. I tell him I ordered contactless delivery. He says "well you didn't leave me a fucking tip." So I open the door and write zero on the paper. Asking him: "and this is how you thou

Text - -EDGAR- 5.0k points · 2 days ago I dont know if they still do them, but a few years ago Burger King 2 came out with this "spooky" Whopper supposedly tasted like A1 sauce. with a black bun that I remember walking 6 blocks to the nearest Burger King after I just found out I got a new job because I wanted to celebrate. It seems weird, I know, but I was broke and Whoppers held a special place in my heart because they reminded me of some fun times when I was a kid and my mom used to sneak them

Text - BlueManedHawk 4.9k points · 2 days ago Denny's. They spend too much time making high- quality shitposts on Tumblr and not enough time on making sure that the food comes out in less than an hour when less than a quarter of the tables are full.

Text - sav575757 3.3k points · 2 days ago · edited 1 day ago Ashley furniture Tried to use the extra protection plan we brought for our sofa that broke. They picked it up and then they tried to deliver it back to the wrong address 4 GOD DAMN TIMES. We were without a sofa for a month and a half when we were told us it would be 7 days because they couldn't figure out how to update our fucking address. I literally had to go into a physical location because their phone customer service just couldn't

Text - AddaboyShankle 2.4k points · 2 days ago Not me, but my dad. He refuses to eat at Subway ever again because when we broke a chocolate chip cookie in half to share, a long strand of hair came out from inside one of the chocolate chips.

Text - KiniShakenBake 2.6k points · 2 days ago Generic American Cheese Slices from Walgreens. Dog needed medication. We typically encase it in some yummy soft american cheese. Kraft was like $5. Ouch. NoName was a buck for 16 slices. SOLD! Kraft slices also make a damn fine grilled cheese sandwich on the cheap. Except that the dog wouldn't touch it. Like actively turned away and refused to go near it. We had to get white slices when we went to the store next time because he needed to forget the
