Day's Inn
Once a staple of American life, Day's Inn now holds a record for denying customers free one night stays that they're entitled to, as well as telling foreigners to "go back to China."

U.S. Postal Service
Though the USPS houses some of the nicest people in the world, it's sadly going broke. Before long, we may not even have Saturday service anymore. Who the heck will Fido stalk if that happens!?

Walmart
Walmart is loved by many Americas for its cheap prices, but it's not loved by its employees -- many of whom complain of poor labor practices. Seriously, if you think you're underpaid, just try working at Walmart for awhile!

ExxonMobil
Nobody likes greedy companies, especially greedy companies that avoid paying their fair share of taxes. It doesn't help that ExxonMobile also likes to secretly donate to political campaigns!

Electronic Arts
The company that produced The Sims, Electronic Arts, won the 2012 award of 'Worst Company' from the Consumerist as per its "habit of acquiring small start-up video game makers in order to squash competition." It didn't either that EA likes to charge exorbitant fees for "bonus" game content.

Pepco
One or two power outages per year is bad enough, but imagine facing 70% more outages than everybody else in the country? Yeah... welcome to Pepco!

LA Department of Water and Power
There's nothing like a company that purposefully issues bills late in order to collect thousands of dollars in late fees. You didn't get your bill on time? Sorry, but that's YO FAULT!

American Airlines
Question. Do you like mishandled luggage, canceled flights and rude flight attendants? Then you're in luck, because American Airlines is ready to rock your world!

Facebook
We love/hate Facebook. We love connecting with friends and family on it, but we hate how Mark Zuckerberg shrewdly uses our personal information to profit. And what with Facebook's recent stock performance, it seems Wall Street doesn't care too much for it either!

Bank of America
Many of us grew up with parents who loyally banked at Bank of America. That sentiment long ago evaded, however, what with the 2008 bailouts and the recent layoff of over 30,000 hardworking Americans. BOO @ BoA!

DirecTV
Ever consider switching out your local TV provider for DirecTV? Think twice, Holmes! They have a horrible track record courtesy of unexpected extra fees, spotty reception and super-duper aggressive telemarketers.

Netflix
Everybody used to love Netflix... that is until the company decided in July 2012 to raise its subscriber rates by a whopping 60%. Goodbye Netflix... HELLO, Redbox!

McDonald's
Oh yes, we all love an occasional burger combo with fries and a soda, but we surely do not love rude workers, low quality control and cholesterol galore. The latter are so bad at McDonald's that according to Forbes Magazine, McDonald's has a satisfaction rating of only 67 out of 100!
