Boycotting a business doesn't mean the business will fail. All these silly mindset sef.

Yes it doesn't mean the business will fail but it means you get satisfaction for the money you're spending.

Afterall, the essence of purchasing from them isn't because you want to keep their business floating, it's because (you feel) they can satisfy your needs/want. Once they don't meet expectations you move on. It's business not marriage.

In a country where every body want to become rich over night and looking for way out

Your Business can't survive only if you are ready to sacrifice your time without employ anyone

You see in this country Nigeria ,there are certain business that can survive you with staff if not my people all your workers are praying for any short cut to make it

Because the monthly pay is not always not their desire

Those two are the major problems of this country

I will just pretend its an interesting thread and ignore the foodie OP, moving on;
I have loyalty to SMEs which is why i love patronizing small business around me.
Their is a guy that sell home appliances not to far from my area, bought iron, ceiling & standing fan from him, i patronizing him often, @ some point he started saying becos its you my friend pay so so amount, for my mind he gave me discount. one day I saw a nice wall bracket, he gave me price so i told him i will come back later unfortunately for him my instinct compelled me to price it in another shop, the price i got for the same product shock me, other things i bought i price them again and the price still shock me ...i had to boycott oga arinze & sons ventures.
Same as where i fill my gas @ the road side, what sells for like #270 per kg was sold to me @ #400 per kg, one day i decided to try a filling station, got the reciept n i was just laughing. from that day i stop having loyalty to any business.
He sees me often buh he dare not ask why no longer patronize him.

It's not new. Once they know that you wouldn't go another place to price items as a loyal customer, they would automatically start ripping you off unless such items have price tag.
I stopped patronising the woman who always sold provisions to me when I realised that she was inflating price for me as a loyal customer. Now, she doesn't look my way again anytime I pass in front of her shop, like we didn't know each other. So much for the years of loyalty. Lol

Amala woman used hand to remove meat from my plate because I told her i don't eat beef ,I had to force the rest of the food down my throat...That was the last!!!

Some many instances!.Especially food vendors should keep their environments and self as neat as possible.

Any rude customer service,:It's either I follow up the madness or I just walk away depending on my mood and that will be the last.



Only if we know how dirty and unhygienic many food sellers could be, how they don't care what they use their hand to touch or grab and not bother to wash it, we wouldn't want to buy prepared food from them at all.

Reason for that is because prices changes from time to time....and someone will refer to that price you made public in the comment section or in a post in the past and call you a scam for giving them another pric e...and you can't go deleting or editing every reply you made with the newest price it will look like a criminal act because at some point you won't be able to edite all of them and it's tiring...

So to save your self and the buyer explanations that might lead to insults...you left the enquirers Prices in their inbox

Then some sellers say inbox me so they will know you're a serious buyer but I think the seller is lazy on this part because serious buyer or not he didn't need to inbox you....its your responsibility to tell him the price yourself in the inbox provided he made an enquiry to know more

That's lame, everyones knows that prices change in Nigeria almost every day. Don't everyone patronise physical market to know that? Whether you put up price or not, the price might still be different from what the referrer already told them before they contact you

It is not lame, I created a thread on it HERE. Many people are actually put off by it. But I think for you to say you boycotted a business, you should have had previous dealings with the business.
These are the main reasons

Mine was a fairly large provisions store near my house. The owner is a Muslim and mostly gives preference to his Muslim brothers and sisters, especially around that time there was lockdown and scarce goods.

One day, I went there to buy something and didn't see the guy. There was a woman standing there in the shop, presumably waiting for the guy too. When I asked her, she said he's not around. So I left the shop. Outside the shop, someone else told me he's there, I should check properly. Only for me to actually see the guy hiding behind a big stack of indomie cartons. Since that day I can never go there. I rather walk 30 meters to get my stuff.

Second one was a woman that sells recharge card by my street. (Very close to my house, she knows my place). I've been buying from her since my JSS3 (I'm in College now). This year, I went to buy 1000 recharge card but unfortunately my cash was remaining 50 naira. Do you know this woman actually told her daughter to hold me so that I won't "Run"?!? Someone that I've know for years now. Since then she can go to hell abeg.

How am I an impostor? Swear to Allah that millions of faithful Muslims across the world did not boycott French products because President Macron said "Islamic extremists" instead of "terrorists".

So how am I an impostor? That an Imam didn't tell me to boycott French products or that Muslims didn't boycott French products or I'm not supposed to use a phone or how exactly am I an impostor?
