Do you support the company you work for?

Do you buy things from it or receive the services of wherever you work? Do you do it because it's convenient or in order to actually support your company?
I support both companies I work for - Macy's & the dry cleaners. Macy's - because I'm a shopaholic and can always find good deals (after all, I'm the one putting them on clearance in the first place! SO I see all the good deals!) and I occasionally will pay to get my shirts laundered & pressed at the cleaners. Neither of these are because I feel sympathetic toward the companies I work for..But it's mainly just because they're both convenient and services/products that I could use (or, at least, that I THINK I could use. lol.)
What about you? Do you support your company?

My company supplies brand name stuff to overpriced department stores, so no. I don't buy from them. I want my stuff at a decent price & quality. I don't give a flying rats &*% about the name on it. The one time I did get some of our products I spent over $100 ( my wife & my Christmas bonus was store credit ) with my discount & the bloody thing fell apart in 2 weeks 
. Went to Walmart, spent less than $30 for a non brand name that lasted over a year.

Whenever possible I support the company I work for. We are a food manufacturer and the competition is fierce for the product we make. I feel obliged to buy our products, and to encourage my friends and family to do the same, otherwise I may be out of a job one day.
