The decision was the latest in a line of rulings allowing companies to use arbitration provisions to bar both class actions in court and class-wide arbitration proceedings. In earlier 5-to-4 decisions concerning fine-print contracts with consumers and employment agreements, the court ruled that arbitration provisions can require disputes to be resolved one by one.

I don't want to use a business that does this. The SCOTUS is also planning on ruling if discrimination based on sexual orientation is OK. Not going to use any business that will take these SCOTUS rulings and use them to conduct business.
