The UK's telecoms regulator has named and shamed the companies it receives the most customer complaints about, with certain brands cropping up more than others. EE, TalkTalk, and Vodafone generated the most vitriol about fixed broadband, according to Ofcom. For landlines it was TalkTalk, Sky Mobile got the most for pay-monthly mobile, and EE again topped pay TV. This covers complaints to the authority during the quarter from July to September last year (Q3 2025), relative to the size of the telecom operators' customer bases.

Folks have griped on Reddit that their locations do not offer self-checkout options (though many report that their locations haven't undergone any recent remodels). Others have shared frustration with Publix's existing self-checkout system, which they claim only offers a small bagging area, and when they move their full bags off the scale, it flags the employee - effectively wasting both the customer's and the employee's time.

It's even the home of Duff Goldman's favorite fast food item. But we can't forget about the milkshakes. On its website, Sheetz describes the shakes as "robust" with "classic and extra freaky flavors," but not everyone is on board with how they're made. While a classic milkshake typically consists of a combination of milk, ice cream, and some sort of flavor, Sheetz's shakes have the added ingredient of ice.

Designed to mark the 10th anniversary of Trump's first presidential run, the smartphone boasts The 47 Plan, a $47.45 bundle of unlimited talk, text, and data as a nod to Trump's position as the 45th and 47th president of the United States. The company's website previously boasted that the devices were Made in the USA, but has since shifted its rhetoric to call them proudly American and designed with American values in mind.

Nobody's perfect, and that's as true for restaurants as it is for people. Google your favorite restaurant right now and odds are you will find at least one review so negative it makes you wonder if the reviewer visited the same restaurant. Every restaurant gets bad reviews now and then, but something appears to be wrong at Sirloin Stockade, the eight-location steakhouse buffet that is routinely criticized for the same issues across four states.

Most people think investors possess magical instincts that they can smell profit the way a chef smells burnt food. But after decades across entrepreneurship, property development and deal-making, you'll end up finding out that investment intuition isn't mystical but rather, trained. It's pattern recognition sharpened by the simple habit of paying attention to the right signals and ignoring the noise that distracts everyone else.

I have noticed that every time I need to buy a plastic bag, the price keeps going up. It started at 15p and now it's 40p each, which is ridiculous. It's so unfair that we have to pay so much for these bags.

On Reddit, one customer complained, "The ones I have tried taste to me like just pure sugar. Doesn't matter if it's lemon, chocolate, vanilla." Another said the frosting "has a cheap taste." The reviews on Walmart's own site are even harsher, with nearly 40% of reviewers giving the cakes two stars or less. One buyer admitted, "The cake is absolutely beautiful, but [it's] one of the worst I've ever tasted". Another, said it was so sweet they "couldn't even eat a very small piece."
