My top company that I will never give another dollar to is Adobe, as they forced me into a 1 year "contract" with a $200 cancellation fee after forgetting to cancel their one month discounted trial in time.

Other companies for myself include Dell, HP, and Canadian Tire.

What happened at Canadian tire? :o

Oh man it was so long ago.

I think the final straw was trying to buy tire rims. Went online and it says it was in stock and my local store, went to it and they said it was out of stock despite the website saying it was. Sent me to the next store over 20 minutes away saying they had some, went there and they told me that they didn't have any either despite the internal system saying they did.

Wasted an hour and a bunch of gas trying to get those rims. Not a huge deal but if a company can't tell what they have and when they have it and prefer to waste my time I don't care to give them my business.

Plus they only stock like 3 items per store for every flyer deal, hoping you'll buy shit just because you're there already. Same with Walmart which is also on my blacklist.

Obligatory "fuck Adobe". My proudest moment last year was cutting our company's Acrobat licenses by 70% and taking about a million bucks out of their greedy little pockets.

Nitro Pro is great anyway. It does the job.
