Blacklisted

I'm not one to blog too much, but I've had it. Do you keep a list of places you won't go due to bad service? Or maybe places you won't go eat because you got sick? Well, here is my short list with Macgruders being the latest entry (it's a grocery store)

1. On the Border in Tyson's Corner (waiter forgot my appetizer and did not refill my drink)
2. Ruby Tuesday's in Franconia-Kingstowne (was seated for 10 minutes and no one came to serve us so we left)
3. Overwood in Old Town Alexandria (Please see number 2)
4. Quizno's by my work in Washington, DC (Lack of effort and care in making my sandwiches-no passion)
5. Quizno's at L'enfant Plaza (Threw up after eating there)
6. Home Depot off of Duke Street (No customer service at all)
7. Macgruders (Waited 10 minutes for the Butcher, no one came and they still didn't call anyone until I was checking out)

I can't think of any others, but I'm not sure if customer service is getting worse or am I just crankier? Then I also think, if I was making $7/hour I probably would be the same way as well...
Do you have any blacklisted places? Let us know. Together, we can prevent bad service...or at least prevent going to places with bad service....

Ugh, Home Depot is the worst! I don't think I have ever been helped by actual employees there, only other customers.

Target and Shoppers - Customer Service is awful. Try Safeway for a more pleasant shopping experience!
