I am curious if this is an aquarius thing.

If you have a negative experience at a certain store or restaurant such as a sarcastic sales person or a slow waiter, etc. would you boycott that business from then on? Or if it's a chain store, boycott every location of the chain? Even though another location may have perfect customer service?

I noticed my aqua does that.

If so, do you think it's because you are a fixed element?

If its not an aqua/fixed trait, could this be his Virgo moon?

I'm one that will contact the manager or the home office to bring light to the situation. I do it in a business like way that presents it where it is in there best interest to address it.

I also contact the manager/home office to complement and pointing out when an employee goes above and beyond the call of duty and needs to be recognized for their good deeds.

He, on the other hand will spout out something and never ever go back. In a stubborn way. Will drive 30 minutes out of the way to go to a different store.

I do that, as does my Aqua. But he has a lower tolerance than I do. He won't say anything but he'll never go back to a place after giving it several chances (again, without saying anything). If I have a bad enough experience even one time, I'm done. I may or may not say something to the management.

Something else he does that drives me crazy is that if we're eating out and his food isn't right, he REFUSES to tell the server or send it back. He'll just mumble and complain to ME about it. Then he'll get mad at me if I aak to send it back or mention anything to the server. Makes eating out not a fun experience.

i dont think it's an aqua thing. My husband and his buddies won't go to a place of establishment if the place sucks in service. we dont like being miserable going out, so one less to worry about.

i know my double virgo father in law would be more uptight and furious.

I went to this cafe the other day to get two green smoothies and It felt like I waited half an hour to get them and I told myself I'd never ever go there again, I went back next week because someone posted a picture of coconut pie from there so I went back and it was good...

But usually I like to base my decisions on principles and cold hard evidence, if the service or product is shit I won't bother.
