| My vote is for Bank of America While Comcast can get ugly at times, I think Bank Of America deserves the golden poo award. They are the ringleaders in predatory lending and business practices.
I will never do business with BofA ever again. I bank with a local bank.
TD Bank was good until the massive data breach.
Other companies who I think deserve the Golden Poo is Subway (declining quality), Dish Network (bad customer service), and McDonald's as they always serve the food cold.

I've experienced ImOn (when they were McLeod USA), Mediacom, Comcast, and Time Warner and I currently have DirecTV. They are much better than broadcast TV.
I have not and will not cut the cord. |

| I vote for ticketmaster, hands down... Ticketmaster needs to DIE!!!! 
Forget their monopoly on tickets, forget just about anything else about them, they are the worst.
Why?
I'll tell you...
I booked tickets MANY years ago via them, as they were the ONLY place to buy tickets for a comedy show I wanted to see. The show was canceled a few days later.
Tickets were NEVER issued.
They refunded the ticket price, but refused to refund their "handling" charge... 
Have NEVER dealt with them since...

| You got that right. With the fact that the Simcity fiasco is fresh in a lot of people's minds, I have no doubt that EA will with the Golden Poo Award.

Re: All a formality You know what's really sad? The fact that EA is even that high. I mean, they make non-essential items in a competitive market. If you get screwed by them, then buy someone else's games. Ticketmaster is sort of the same, except they have a relative monopoly.
AT&T, BofA, and Comcast all provide essential services that people can't do without. Two of those have monopolies throughout many parts of the country, and duopolies in the areas where they might have one competitor. BofA has a societal duty to provide consumers with essential financial services, but they at least have a bit of competition. The horror stories that I can tell you about BofA...they're unfuckingreal.
What I'm getting at here is how in the hell is a video game company at the top of the list when their products are meaningless compared to what the others provide? People's priorities are really messed up. |

| Bad, but not the worst No love for Comcast here (why they hell wasn't Delta in the bracket?), but my vote goes to TicketBastard. |

Re: All a formality The difference between Bank of America and EA is EA is destroying virtual cities and Bank of America is destroying real cities. |

They are in the final 4 because they pissed of reddit and 4chan, as well as most gamers on the internet. Those are very power things to piss off when you are in an online voting. |

Boynton Beach, FL | I can say I agree about Comcast I've had an issue recently with Comcast, still unresolved. Got a call from executive support. Three times, the same person, asking me the same questions like he hasn't talked to me at all. Giving me the same answer that he'll forward it. It's like you're in the twilight zone and they only remember you until they hang up the phone |

Re: All a formality Funny, when I called EA Origin support, they were quite good at resolving my issue. Then again, I don't play SimCity. |

| I uses to be a fast food junkie until health issues took their toll. I try to eat at Subway and Panera Bread more and burger joints sparingly.
After I had an abdominal ultrasound for an unrelated condition and they discovered non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, I switched from Coke to Diet Mountain Dew. And I cut back on fast food and I try to cook on my Weber gas grill more. |

Re: All a formality As much as I hate Comcast; their pricing shenanigans, their consistently playing fast-and-loose with the truth and their "fuck you" corporate mentality, any company that puts out a single-player game that REQUIRES you to be online in order to even play the game you PAYED FOR deserves to be named Worst Company in America. |

At least banking has competition. Big banks have the advantage of convenience but small banks have better service. I left TD Bank for a local bank because TD Bank had a data breach and they got too high on fees. As most of my purchases are on my debit card. I can count on less than one hand the number of times I've used an ATM in a given month and if I need cash I'll go to the supermarket or CVS and I'll buy a soda and get cash back. Most ATMs around here get $3.50 to pull money out but getting cash back costs nothing minus the cost of the soda or candy bar that you have to purchase for the privilege of getting cash back.
Back in the good old days the state of Iowa had a ban on ATM terminal fees and I think non bank ATMs were banned in Iowa as well.
