The way people do business reflects their own perception of the way they are treated. If you think that companies will do anything they can to cheat you, they you will reply in kind. This is especially true if they believe that big companies are in some fundamental way "not a person" and do not merit ethical treatment. You can't cheat an inanimate object.
I have no love for corporations but if you allow yourself to slip into this way of thinking then you only degrade your own sense of morality. You can begin to treat other individuals in this impersonal way of "doing business". My position is that you do yourself more harm psychologically/spiritually than you gain in the material transaction.
