Common places of business you've never graced with your patronage?

Rednecks love it.

They had their own hissy fit about "The Gays" back in the 80s.

Cracker Barrel

Another "twosie", for the number of times I've been at one. Not all that great- it was the one in Florida, I think off SR50, not all that far from Cape Canaveral, which is where I was working at the time.

I've always been intrigued by that. I've never been either. Been to Bob Evans a lot. Thought it to be similar. There's a chain in Utah I kind of want to try but I don't know when, if ever, I'll make it back there: Chuck-A-Rama.

I've never been in Starbucks but I don't drink coffee. Never bought an Apple product because Apple is evil. Never been to a Chick-Fill-A or Hobby Lobby and never will. I dont't necessarily hold the political views of a business owner against his/her business but if they choose to attach those beliefs to their business - oh, yeah!

I haven't been back to Taco Bell since sometime in the late 90s. That's because I shit my pants after eating there. I'm not kidding; I literally shit my pants - while driving home. It was at night, thankfully. I was using every bit of strength I had to clamp my cheeks shut but despite my heroic effort, out it came. I eventually pulled over and hobbled to an area behind some trees in somebody's front yard and deposited the rest of it. I don't know factually whether or not eating at Taco Bell was the cause of this unfortunate incident but I have been emotionally unable to disentangle this incident with Taco Bell up to this point. I might still eat there again some day.

I haven't boycotted Walmart and I LOVE Papa John's pizza.

I ate at Taco Bell last in the mid-00's, at the University of Maryland student center. No adverse effects. But just last week, I went onto their online menu, and it has turned, seemingly, into a completely different place in all metrics but quality. The menu is a headache to read. So many items and so many add-ons to said items. Way too many choices, though it all looks pretty interesting.

As for GI distress, TB sure has that stereotype, though I have no clue how true it is. Frankly, I really need to watch what I order at the local mom and pop Mexican place. Carne asada fries ruin my GI.
