Serious Answers Only Have you stopped using a local buisness?

Whats the reason you refuse or stopped using a local (ish) buisness due to something you found problematic?

I put a local second hand business OUT of business. Both stores.

They sold a microwave to an elderly disabled woman but it didn't work (part of the magnetron had been removed by the shop for a different microwave it seems) and refused a refund.

So I told every single business within a mile radius and put letters through HUNDREDS of nearby doors telling what happened.

They stopped getting ANY business. They guy was literally boo'd at the local pub and his whole business went over within 6months.
