What brands do you avoid at all cost? I don't keep up with the news all that much, and many of the reasons to avoid something don't make it there anyway. So I'm asking here to make a big list of things to avoid. It could be anything from bad security practices to really frustrating packaging. Working as a cashier myself, I definitely know there are plenty of brands I avoid purely on the basis that their product is a pain to stock.

On the flip side, what's the alternative? If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?

Seems like you're thinking mostly of things like grocery brands, but top of my hit list is Hasbro. They send Pinkertons after their customers and fuck over third party publishers. And they're kindof making an Olympic sport of enshittifying their brands.
