Perhaps this could be setup as a poll, made up of the companies that appear on here the most. Telecom I suspect would get the most votes, simply because they have the most NZ customers of any company in NZ. However on Fair Go last year, slingshot had the most complaints of any ISP proportionally, so maybe a proportional system could be developed

 

I would also give another vote for Als Litta biz in Upper Hutt, that I saw someone else vote for.

Glassboy: Dick Smith. It's complete bollocks.


Isn't it also owned by Progressive Enterprises, that Ozzie outfit that also owns countdown and woolworths and foodtown. I would vote for countdown, as very often when I buy food from it, it is past it's best before date, even though I paid full price

Worst for what?  worst performing, or worst for their customers.  Couldbe the same thing,  but not necessarily.


I'm going to go with worst for customers  so my vote is:

Hanover Finance  (or indeed any of the finance companies who have bankrupted people.  I don't see any other companies on this list bankrupting their customers)

Fonterra for their relationships with Parm Oil production and their deforestation of rain forests. Also for there lack of action over the dairy pollution in NZ that is fouling NZ rivers and streams. IMO
