If so what's your reason?

I do not shop at WalMart as they are a chief contributor to the destruction of the middle class.
I used to boycott Sears because once a very long time ago they turned me down for a small credit line. When I was told that it had been declined, I showed them a wad of cash and told them I'd be spending it at one of their competitor's stores!
I have other criteria that I may use from time to time but they are too personal to detail here.

I agree with the person saying Sears!
They realyl should move the perfume area away from the enterance. It makes it unbearable to go in. If I have to go through I have to hold my breath and run... and even then ICK!!!
oo and also Claires. (accessorie store for teens and pre-teens) Nothing against their items.. it's the people that work there. -and not only in one location. I have been to several clairs shops and each time it's the same thing... I look around the store, if it's been more then lets say 5 minutes they start b*tching at you... like saying "if you arnt gonna buy anything get out!!" (grouchely) I can understand that but I was actually looking for some things. Also if they see you drop anything they force you to pick up everything around the store. (you know how things drop from a crowded store). And my friend and I were basically accused of shoplifting there because we stayed in the store too long. (like 10 minutes) and the security guard follwed us from store to store. And my cousin was accused of shoplifting at her Clairs (different province) because they took like half an hour deciding what to buy in a bunch of stuff. they went to the counter and payed and the cashiere was liek "Got anything else you want to pay for" needless to say they searched her and foudn nothing!
Wow that was long!! ^ I go on rampages!
also I boycott American eagle - self explanitory ICK!!!
as for the first answerer... NOTHING is wrong with "queer" marriages! They live how they want, they can't help it. How would you feel if you were gay and being discrimanted against? or if you were a different color then those around you!? Don't discriminate.

I boycott Lowe's Home Improvement Centers for the most part.
It is because of their policy of printing every sign in their store in English and Spanish. I am not prejudice, I just don't believe that immigrants (illegal or otherwise) need even more incentive NOT to learn to speak English. (And I live in Maine - NOT California or Texas - if you just HAVE to print the signs in two languages, I'm sure the large population of French Canadian people and tourists from Canada would appreciate a little recognition)
I boycott Taylor Rental.
I boycott them because they refused to honor the extra cost damage waiver I purchased on a rented trailer - and charged the wheel and flat
tire against my credit card - without any authorization. And worse, when I sent, not one, but four email inquiries to their "we will reply to your email within 24 hour " website - I NEVER even received the courtesy of a reply - let alone a refund for their bogus charge. Unbelievably non-existent customer service.
Other than that, I pretty much shop every where else.

The only companies I'd like to boycott are the major oil companies for keeping the price of gas so high. But if I did that I'd have to walk every place.

not currently.
I did boycott 2 companies some time ago and for some time. Both, not only survived my rancour, but have done much better than their peers, [not to mention much better than I]
I boycotted Coca Cola because they engaged in monopoly practices. Small organizations buying coke for a function could not also have pepsi. I demanded the right to choose. [Pepsi did the same thing by the way] After 10 years without coke I gave in and now enjoy my Pernod and Coke. One for the big guy. One down for me.
I boycotted Japanese products because I objected to their corporate and govt collusion and policies. After 10 years the Japanese economy tanked. I promptly declared victory, and bought a Lexus. [one for the little guy? maybe?]
How's that for a .500 batting average?

Exxon -- they up and decided to quit cleaning up after the Valdez wreck... didn't finish the job, but said they'd done enough. NOT.
Sam's Club -- varying membership policies hacked me off. I"m a Costco customer now.
Heinz -- dont' buy a thing made by Heinz since the prez election in 2004. Kerry's wife has enough $$ w/o getting mine. We use Hunt's or store brands.

Sears because of the perfume stand right in front of the doors. It stinks and I'm allergic to it. Also, they ripped me off by not ringing in the correct price and the screen was set up so I couldn't see it.
