I've never been to Cracker Barrel because when I was younger they fired all their gay employees, were taken to court over it, fought and won.
Chick fil a same sort of reason, stupid discrimination.
Have never been to Applebee's because I don't have to and why would I?
Bank of America because they once stacked withdrawals over deposits, said I was overdrawn by 0.60 for some immeasurably short period of time, and slapped a $35 overdraft fee on my account. I called, bitched until I got my $35 back, and closed the account. Hate them with a burning passion. Have had to deal with them at two jobs since and they seem still as bad.
Most of these make sense but the Applebee's one isn't really on your shitlist. From what you've said you just seem indifferent to it, much like you'd be indifferent to any other store you have no interest in.
Yeah boycott may be too strong a word, it's more like they are at the bottom of my list in what I look for in a restaurant, and I live where there are other options. I do object to them but on grounds of being a chain, generally shitty to employees and not good or interesting food, I will not give them dollars but don't hate them like I hate BOA or Cracker Barrel. They just seem like something that doesn't need to exist.
I had exactly the same thing happen to me and did exactly that.
