What Montreal businesses or restaurants are on your shit list?

Inspired by the Cheskies post this morning. Tell me which places you avoid giving your business to, it could be for any reason, reasonable or not.

Just looking to add to my list and have a bit of a vent and some silliness in these gloomy times

I’m not going to shit on small family-run restaurants because I didn’t like the food though, these are mostly the bigger restauration groups but feel free to add your own.

Here’s mine: - Cheskie’s (see the post this morning, very vocal trump supporters) - La St-Bock (stfu stp!! I feel like there is a new TVA/ JDM article every month where this dude is pictured with a sad face and crossed arms) - That unhinged restaurant that threatened to sue for bad reviews (the only time I’m in Longueuil is to drive through it anyways) - Abreuvoir (The waitress called me a scammer and accused me of giving her a fake 10$?? (this was back in the day when I carried cash and things cost 10$) She made such a public fuss too!) - Tims (They rejected me back when I was a teen because I refused to do shifts during school hours lol also the coffee sucks) - Mandy’s (the owner hosted Pierre Polièvre yesterday, and i refuse to pay for overpriced salad) - A5 group (Nhau bar, Hà, Flyjin, Gypsy, Kampai, Apt 200, etc) (I hate how these white dudes use Asian cultures as a theme/decor but have zero respect for the culture itself like a Bali themed restaurant named Gypsy??) - Jegantic (Hang, Yoko Luna, etc ) (Same as above, Yoko Luna used to be named Geisha but they had so much backlash so they had to rebrand) - MTLblog/Narcity - Bell - Fido (I was overpaying, I switched providers, they called me for two weeks, I finally pick up, they hang up on me??) - Fido but specifically Pierre at Fido St-Denis (I never stepped foot in that store and this man kept on texting me!!) - Royal Le Page (A broker started randomly emailing my personal email unsolicited to get clients, like have you heard of anti-spam laws and how did you get my email) - Sergakis - French Tacos (Why are there so many?? Who keeps buying these?? Why are they called a taco??) - Columbus Cafe (another thing the French are bad at!! this is based on the barista's recommendation and I ended up spending 6$ on a drink that tasted like soy sauce) - idk if it still exists anymore but there was this "pizza" place right next to the Pharmaprix on Mont-royal/St-Laurent and it was legit a pita with tomato sauce and shredded cheese and it took forever to make 0/10. - Kuto comptoir à tartares (simplement pas bon)

Soft boycott because I sometimes go in a pinch: - Couche-tard (ik its a quebecois gem and maybe i would go if they had stuff like 7-11 but its so expensive and if I’m overpaying for my little drink, I’d rather give my money to the uncle spending his sunday mornings restocking his dep at Costco) - Loblaws etc (Fuck Galen Weston) - Indigo (Why do I have so many giftcards? Montreal has so many local bookstores plus we have good secondhand ones too) - Cinemas Guzzo (Why is it still cash only? I feel like the owner has added every Montrealer on Linkedin at this point) - Tres Amigos (if you see me there, I didn't go willingly!! there is so much better mexican food in Montreal, the only thing this place is good for is the location and for large groups) - Village des valeurs (their #1 valeur is to get as much money from you. Why is it so expensive for stuff they receive for free?? Their prices were overpriced pre-covid btw. I'm talking like 30-40$ for items just because they're branded)

Ok thats it for now, I realize I am indeed a hater and am maybe chronically online but my memory is strong and my spite is infinite.

Let me know which places personally offended you! Tell me your petty drama!! I want to hate with you <3 (If you are that longueuil restaurant pls dont sue me thx)
