My list:
Love
Sony - I have a PS1, PS2, PS3, MP3 Walkman, Earbuds, Headphones, and I'm typing this on my Sony Vaio laptop. I never had an issue with a Sony product breaking down.
Capcom - When I see their logo, chances are I'm going to love their video game. It would be cool if they still made games for Disney ( I use to play Rescue Rangers and Ducktales on NES often). Konami is a close runner-up.
Reebok - I love going to their store for their B2G1 sale on shoes. I always find a new style I like and go every 2-3 years.
Chik Fil A - Place is always clean and their staff is always upbeat and friendly. Even though the food is good, they might as well call the place "Chik Magnet" as I'm always seeing beautiful women regardless of which location I visit.
Amazon - Like a good neighbor, Amazon is there [online]. They help me avoid the Black Friday madness and constantly price match while saving gas money.
Firefox - I thought Internet Explorer was the only browser available until I tried Firefox. Very user friendly, loads more applications, and I rarely go back to IE.
Burger King and Wendys (tie) - Both have great burgers. Wendys has the best value menu and even though I didn't like the job experience, Burger King's listing on my resume helped me get a better job.
PixelJunk - Have they ever made a bad game??
Hershey - For one thing and one thing only: Reeses's Peanut Butter Cups - the best chocolate candy ever.
Neutral list
Best Buy - Love their sales and store layout but their employees can be annoying, especially when it comes to cell phones.
Nintendo - I use to love them until they made the Nintendo 64 and particularly that awful controller with the awkward analog stick. Knowing you have to buy Virtual Console products again if you buy another Wii system makes me want to stay away from them for the time being.
Funimation - I love them for exposing me to Dragonball Z, Case Closed/Detective Conan, and many other anime programs ... but I don't like how they release the shows in different ways over and over (or in Conan's case, incomplete).
Target - I like the store's layout and prices but I also work there so I see the bad stuff that shoppers probably don't.
DirecTV - I was liking them a lot until they dropped G4. Also, the signal goes out on the TV at work whenever there's a storm or dark cloudy skies.
Apple - I get that they have good products, but they are way too expensive. $1000 for a computer and $200-$300 for a good Ipod is nuts.
Samsung - Unlike Sony, I seem to always have products that fail on me even when I bring them to Samsung to fix and they still break down. To be fair, they were refurbs and my new Samsung Seek phone works very well.
Hate list
Brandsmart - I was reminded of how much I hated this store on Black Friday. If you want to check a price, there are no price scanners so you have to wait in line. Make that lines as there are no ropes to separate lines and people are constantly cutting each other off. Stereos are constantly blaring so you can't hear anyone speak, plus the employees act like they are better than everyone else.
Kmart - Every single Kmart I walked into is dirty. Good luck trying to find an employee and a sale item. Thrown a bunch of games and DVD's randomly on a shelf and you have their electronics section.
Comcast - The way they handled the digital switch was ridiculous. First they said I didn't need a converter box and merely changed the channel numbers. A month later, the cable goes out again and they tell me I need the box. Comcast: Leader of the Runaround.
Fox News - Do I really need to explain this one?
