If I'm seriously trying to guage how good a place is by Yelpl (which is retarded I know) then I always check the review history of the reviewers as well.

They are usually either just miserable people who have only posted bad reviews or wanna be critics who have no idea how to criticize without just shitting on aspects of a place.

Making bad reviews (or any reviews really) is definitely not rational behavior at all. But a lot of it is because they can't understand how businesses aren't individual human beings. You see that often with customers of companies in general calling in and then getting super-upset at the agent answering the phone because that agent doesn't magically know what "they" did to annoy the customer, "they" being someone else and/or some process at that company which has nothing to do with that agent.
Anyway, this bizarre inability to understand the difference between individuals and organizations leads people to think acting out against an organization with a bad review is a way to get back at the organization for wronging them. If anyone suffers from a bad review though it probably won't be the person who did something that customer didn't like while at the restaurant the review is for. And it's not likely they're going to change the behavior of the restaurant in general by complaining about some one-off thing that upset them.
Also the customers who feel the need make a huge emphasis on how the restaurant / company they're complaining about has "lost their business" are pretty embarrassing to hear from. I can't imagine having that much of a distorted ego that you think your $5 worth of business is valuable or you're making people at the company feel sad by breaking the news to them that they're not getting any more dollars from you.

I leave reviews sometimes. I guess I have only done it if I had a really bad experience there, or if I disagree with other reviews. A few time I have seen really bad reviews complaining about specific things that don't match my experience at all, and so I posted my review sort of in defense of the business.

sexual frustration

It's a scam. Tons of middle aged women do it.
They will make a very minor complaint, expecting the manager to come out and comp the entire meal.
Then they get super assblasted and make a big scene that they still have to pay for some of the food they ate and the leftovers they're bringing home to eat with the dog.

holy fucking SHIIIIT

People are more likely to leave a review if they have very strong feelings. But particularly negative ones because they need to vent. Nobody has an okay experiance and says "geez I need to share how okay my experiance was." But anger is also largely irrational and lets face it a restaurant is not really in a position to piss you off THAT much that it is jusitifed. they cant fuck your wife, only fuck up your food. So mildly annoyed people calm down before they get to yelp. Thus leaving the irrationally angry, that likely have other problems causing this. This combined with the fact that most people are inherriantly stupid leaves your answer. Also why the rule of thumb is to throw away all 1 star and 5 star reviews and focus most heavily on the three star ones.

yup. owners can flag negative reviews as "inappropriate" and they're basically hidden and pushed to the bottom of the page. one of the only reviews i wrote was a legitimate complaint about how incredibly rude a bartender was and the butthurt owner flagged it (and no, I'm not the type who expects people in the service industry to kiss my ass). i didn't even use profanity or say anything out of line; just stated the facts about my shitty experience.

I hate how some people want to pay as little as possible for a service quality only expected when it should be several times more expensive. I see this a ton when booking hotels. I'm usually not that concerned with the quality of the hotel overall so I go for nearly cheapest ones and they don't have the fanciest breakfast ever, not the most spotless floors, not the best lighting setup, not the highest educated or chirpiest personnel, no elevators, not all extra features and services. Most of this is even explained when booking the hotel, with pictures of the breakfast and rooms. Yet I still see reviews giving garbage scores because "the eggs were slightly overboiled", "they didn't have enough fresh fruit of x varieties", "there was noise from the street but no AC so we couldnt close the windows!" or "I found dust on top of the wardrobe!". I can't fucking believe how dis-illusional these people are when they scrape the bottom of the barrel for the cheapest thing possible and still complain about the smallest little things while setting inappropriately low scores for the discomfort caused by it. I've stayed at several hotels for a week and never had real issues that couldn't be resolved by talking with the reception.

No I don't work at hotels and I never have.

>>11589511
Excuse me, can you elaborate on what you meant by this post?

>>11589513

>>11587844

>>11589511
>No I don't work at hotels and I never have.
Well I have, there's two things at work here.

First is that sense of entitlement you describe - people just don't have realistic expectations. Granted sometimes - often - this is because they're travelers, so it's for granted they don't know the area or what they're getting into. Example: I live in the south. We got bugs. The hotel wages a daily fucking war exterminating every living fucking thing in a 20 foot radius around the hotel, but sometimes a few ants, or god forbid a palmetto bug gets by. Whats a palmetto bug? Basically it's a flying variety of roach. Fuckers will come through the vents, or up the plumbing. Nothing we can really do. But this is the south - the reason they're here is because you go outside and we're surrounded by fucking tree's and nature and shit, unless you're in the tiny ass strip of downtown. Now in someplace like NY, you got a bigass cockroach it's cause the place is dirty and has an infestation, I get it. In the South? It's because this is where they fucking live and you just got unlucky, ok? But you can't explain this to people. You can't tell them there was a 1 in 100 lottery and every day there's a winner and today they won a thumb sized water beetle scuttling across their wall.

They also don't understand how humidity works. Our air is so fucking thick some days you need a fucking snorkel to take a walk. So these dumb fucking yankee's get in their room and crank their AC unit down to 62 degrees and that tiny little window unit is just fucking choking to death - incidentally if the hotel has less than 200 rooms it doesn't have central air, just window/room units - and it literally fucking freezes over solid inside while these bitch cunts complain about it not getting cold enough. Goddamn man, if you get your room under 75 degrees you have WON, you aren't going any further.

>>11589653
Second thing at work is they just want free shit, or that magical service recovery rate reduction/elimination. This is especially prevalent at corp. chains, like Hilton or Marriott. People know there are standards and rules, standards and rules set by someone in an office 7 states away that cannot be conceivably followed by every location - when they even bother trying since 2/3rds of all hotels are franchises and those aren't even Hilton employee's you're bitching at they work for some rinky dink LLC wearing Hiltons skin like a fucking coat - and they do everything they can to scam you. Fuckers will carry around dead bugs in baggies to take pictures of, complain about clutter or litter in the courtyard at 5 am before any housekeeping staff has even arrived (and probably left by some cunt guest getting drunk at 2 am), get into apoplectic shouting fits in the lobby; absolutely ANYTHING to browbeat and humiliate the staff so they don't have to pay for that night

>>11589511
>>11589653
These are the kinds of hotels/motels routinely infested with bed bugs. You guys deserve bad reviews for running vermin infested shitholes.

>>11586845
>When I worked in the industry I took "I am never coming here again" as a good thing.
>I dont know why they thought Id be worried?
I think they're so upset that they want to believe they can hurt someone else back so they feel less like they're the ones losing out in the exchange. And also there's some attempted manipulative angle there too where you're trying to convince the service provider they have an incentive to do what the customer wants and a disincentive not to. I saw someone do something like this on a Linux forum many years ago where he kept on begging for technical support on an open source system that nobody had any incentive to provide to him. He eventually switched from begging for help to calling everyone stupid for throwing away the money they'd be making if only they turned it into proprietary software. Of course that sort of argument makes no sense, but you could see how in his mind he just really wanted people on the internet to solve his problems and his recognition they weren't going to help because it wasn't a product anyone sold him in the first place made him go for a line of insults that implied it was stupid to not do what he wanted them to do and smart to start doing what he wanted them to do.

>>11588017
>I ordered a pizza for pickup on menu log once. When I got there, the guy cancelled the order and processed it through is own system instead, saved me 5 bucks. So I gave them a good review.
Not that I ever give reviews of any sort, but if that happened to me I'd find it pretty obnoxious. I get food from this chinese restaurant through uber eats sometimes and once the manager called me and said I'd save money by using their own online delivery site instead of uber eats. I tried what the manager told me once and it was terrible. I went back to uber eats after because I can actually specify how to meet me without the driver getting confused by the different locations at my apartment complex and the gates they might or might not try to get past by following in another resident, and also because I can see where the driver is through the GPS map and don't have to wait for some random phone call after they've already arrived. It stresses me out like crazy not knowing when the phone call's going to happen and feeling like I can't relax or use the bathroom for fear of not being ready at a moment's notice to interact with their own retarded delivery driver.
Anyway tl;dr fuck restaurant staff who can't mind their own business.
PS: That's also pretty unethical that they took it upon themselves to do that with your order. That's business they might not be getting if services like "menu log" didn't exist to attract an order in the first place and they're effectively stealing by taking the order and then lying about it being cancelled.

>>11584950
I'd understand this about say other businesses like certain big box stores or cell phone companies, but you're fairly incorrect on restaurants. People usually very specifically recount the situations that were bad or when a server / waitstaff had done something to upset them. It's pretty easy infact to fix the various issues from negative reviews. That said, I use Google reviews or Facebook review comments for this. Yelp is awful and I've never humored the lot of them. If they're rude to me they get their money back and sent home without food.

Hell, one time some black lady pulled out her nappy hair (on camera btw) and put it into a salad and demanded a free meal.

how often do you guys understock bread? they probably can't just opportunistically strike you guys when you fuck up

>>11590149
Of course not, that's the first time I've seen it happen. It's almost like you didn't read the other half of the post. Plus, we offered 20% off and free pies. In addition, we gave them the heads up that we don't have any.

Two pretty big details your missing in your shitposting

>>11590169
so... the black guys you refuse to give any breaks to will come back and demand free stuff to compensate for not being given bread.... IF you fuck up something you only fucked up once again.
huh... waiter, are ya?

>>11590175
Did I ever say we don't give breaks? We do it constantly, just not in those two obvious attempts to scam the store. Which is why they come back. And again, we told them before the meal, why do you keep on ignoring this key point?

>>11590200

>>11589511
“The moral is, never be sorry for a waiter. Sometimes when you sit in a restaurant, still stuffing yourself half an hour after closing time, you feel that the tired waiter at your side must surely be despising you. But he is not. He is not thinking as he looks at you, 'What an overfed lout'; he is thinking, 'One day, when I have saved enough money, I shall be able to imitate that man.' He is ministering to a kind of pleasure he thoroughly understands and admires. And that is why waiters are seldom Socialists, have no effective trade union, and will work twelve hours a day--they work fifteen hours, seven days a week, in many cafés. They are snobs, and they find the servile nature of their work rather congenial.”

― George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

>>11591326
Those women in the pic are 50+. They don't have Yelp accounts.

People complain on yelp because the industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Anyone who complains is doing so because they have had to put in zero effort to acquire the food that they have received from the server. The process of putting forth effort to acquire food is one of the most important things to human happiness, but the modern technological society has removed this. Therefore people must fill time with surrogate activities that can require effort and provide the individual with autonomy. These surrogate activities can include sports, dancing or writing reviews on Yelp complaining that your creme brulee was too cold. In a primitive society nobody ever complained about the temperature of food because the people were satisfied and happy with the effort that went into acquiring it, and didn't feel the need to introduce a surrogate to try and replace the effort they had already expended.

The only way for people to feel satisfied and happy without uploading reviews to Yelp is to rebel against industrial society. It is not enough to try to reform society from within so that all restaurants serve food at perfect temperatures all the time. Because you would still be angry and frustrated with the lack of power and autonomy given to one by the industrial society and instead you would need to write Yelp reviews complaining about the taste of the food. It would be an endless cycle until technological society is overthrown and a return to a more primitive wild state is completed. Yelp is merely a technology the system uses to control humans and allow them to vent their stress so that they can be exploited and the system can continue to thrive.

Of course we see Yelp reviews as a necessary part of life, and we want our children to utilise them to live happy lives. But actually, they simply add a layer of complexity and annoyance that does not exist in nature.

I only leave reviews if the food and service was shit. Last review I remember was when I entered an empty restaurant that was going to close in an hour, loads of time for a single customer like myself to be served but the only waiter was ignoring me, too busy cleaning the cashier area. I waited and even calmly said hello but this cunt ignored me for 5 minutes until I left

I once watched as a 70 year old biddy berated a server for touching the hsndle of her fork. Old bitch went off for her entire meal angrily arguing with herself over how shocking & abusive that slight was.

Never trust the following:
-1 star reviews where the person types like a retard or types nothing at all
-5 star rating where the person types like a retard or types nothing at all
-A review that complains about something they made the mistake on and not the restaurant, or something out of their control
-Reviews with unrealistically high expectations of cheap/fast places

The most trustworthy reviewers are the people who can at least bother to type a paragraph that includes some pros and cons.

This was a bit different. I was already there to pick up my pizza which had already been cooked, so the guy decided to save me 5 bucks, and maybe himself a couple of bucks (No idea how much menulog charges restaurants).

And fuck Menulog, They didn't make me a shitty pizza, and their site fucks up so often it's not funny. I can't count the amount of times I put through an instruction to delivery guys and the instruction didn't come through on the final receipt, then I get a call from a frustrated delivery guy who can't find the way because menulog didn't give him my instructions.

They're miles behind uber eats, Menulog doesn't even HAVE their own delivery service, they just use the store's delivery service.

>>11590065
Sounds pretty reasonable, they came in expecting free bread with their meal like you normally do, and tried to ask for a compromise when you couldn't provide them with that, they left.

If they were real assholes they would have eaten and then demanded a discount because there was no bread.

I don't know. Why even sign up for an account? That's just sad as fuck. It's weird.

I only bother to leave reviews to places I really like and enjoy especially if they don't have many to try to encourage people to come. Is this not the norm?

And yet I bet you fuck up at your job all the time and then reee about your boss being a hardass, despite the fact that he pays you. And how did you earn your place in society if you can't even feed yourself. You're like a child.

Anyone who goes to a restaurant for anything other than high-class dining is a retard. Family get together? Learn how to work a barbeque and save yourself some money.

Yelp and alike are just a way for these people to feel like they have some kind of sense of power by leaving a shitty review. If you have a bad time at somewhere, just talk to the manager and if needed get your shit comped. No need for a 8 paragraph review (usually all in caps) complaining about every little thing that did or didn’t happen.

Also, the recommendations are gash.

In my city we have a few stars, some great bars and loads of ethnic type places that do some consistently good food. Number one on trip advisor is a fucking vegan hummus van.

>>11590284
Well I dunno about waiters, but I work in the kitchen and I have to say that I actively despise the customers. I see fat people line up and I feel dread. I see people line up in the last five minutes despite having been there drinking for six fucking hours and I feel dread. I see someone come up and start complaining to me that their meal is wrong even though I'm not the one who took their order and I feel fucking dread.

Customers are fucking retarded. We have a sign saying where to order. I've seen people read it. I've seen these same people come to the fucking kitchen window with their fucking wallet out. DO YOU SEE A FUCKING CASH REGISTER? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH YOUR MONEY, SHOVE IT UP MY ARSE?

I can't fathom how people don't have even a minuscule sense of value, I guess it's more ignorance than malice in the best case scenario though.

People just wanting free shit though, actively sabotaging shit and having all the time in the world to scream about it lifts the arteries out of my flesh. They do it on purpose for purely selfish reasons while taking it out on whoever is available. I refuse to believe these people have ever had a job with customer contact or even a shred of empathy in them. Even if they are caught red handed it's just a slap on the wrist and they can probably wiggle out of it, they know where the line is and constantly dance on it and even step over it if it seems risk-free enough. That's some lawful evil stuff right there. This is how murderers are motivated.

I don't think it's in a majority of cases or anything like that. It just checks out with my own experience as guest and checking stuff online. Almost horror like stories about this and that affecting every room and the personnel were trying to scam them around every corner etc. After arriving myself I see like a 10% version of their problem and either resolve it myself or just ask the reception to take a look at it. It's almost surreal.

I mean, that is how people can get sick.
I always bring sanitizer or wipes with me before I eat

Used to be an expediter at a fast food chain.
I was the one always hearing complaints (I was the one bringing out the food) and I wasn't particularly annoyed by anything legitimate. But we had sometimes had customers trying to fuck with us for free food, that shit is dumb, and it's really easy to tell if you're trying to get free food, if you honestly don't like pickles or tomatoes on your burger, you'd give it back or trash it and give us the receipt to go off on. My GM was too nice for a while and I think word got around, because in the span of a month we had around 20 different attempts for free food by giving a negative complaint. GM changed the policies on things for the store and it got fake complainers butthurt

Retard, do you think restaurants are selling you food at a LOSS? You're paying ridiculous prices compared to what we pay for the ingredients. The biggest cost is labor in prep. For as much as you spend on your little garlic bread entree you could buy a loaf of far better quality bread, some butter, some garlic, and some parsley and make your own out of the entire loaf. Shit you can even just buy pre-made garlic butter instead, and get the same result. We can buy an entire roast for ten dollars, Australian prices. We sell it back to people like you at ten dollars a slice, with thirty cents of gravy and a dollar's worth of vegetables for a further eight dollars. Eighteen dollars, for about three dollars worth of food, the additional seventy being the spices and rubs we put on the roast. I'm getting paid twenty-five dollary-doos an hour to do this to you.

You're the same as retards who pay a mechanic a hundred dollars for ten bucks worth of actual work because you need someone to do your fucking oil change for you. Because you're incapable, and we can wring you for every penny because you're incapable.

Well why'd you make the soup so fucking salty?

First time me europoor in Toronto. Went into cool and modern italien restaurant. Open kitchen, dark wooden furniture, artificially designed old metal things and pots on the wall etc. Tried spaghetti with meat balls and the bolognese sauce was really bland or unseasoned. Put some salt in it but it didnt do the trick, they probably used cheap canned tomatoes and no tomatoe paste, tasted also sour.
In general it was okay, so I ate most of the portion because I was hungry. At some point the waiter came and asked us how it was and I said its okay but the sauce is a little unseasoned. He offered us to get more bolognese sauce from the kitchen and we accepted it, didnt think it was that big of a deal.
Unfortunately the sauce that came was the same (duuh because bolognese sauce needs +2h of cooking), so yea. bad cook.
As soon as we were done the manager came and told us that we should tell earlier if the meal is bad so they can exchange it for something else.
This was a new dining experience to me, especially since it came from a ~28 year old fucking feminist manager slut with a headset on her fucking head.
2/3 of the time in the restaurant was eating undelicious food and the other 1/3 of the time was spent talking to the staff.
They tried to spin things, "the sauce is one of our best" and bring us free stuff, tell us about other dishes and what not. But too late, fucked up. (not once have they tried their own sauce)
They were so afraid of a bad review its crazy.
And this is the day I understood nothern american restaurant culture.
Passive agressive, pretending waiters that dont give a shit about you and only see you as another review and another fight which they have to win. Tangled up in their weird mind that delivering food from the kitchen to the table is some kind of miracle and that this will somehow increase my positive experience in the restaurant.

And all that because it is a normal thing to be an entitled american nigger boomer in a restaurant to get free stuff.

You guys always ignore the time factor in all this, and we were discussing fast food not sit down restaurants. Also mine changes my oil for like $40. The point is that time is money too. If you have the excess money you should try to have the time saved for leisure you actually enjoy. Unless you really just like cooking, then by all means cook for yourself.

I just flip through Google reviews and check out their socials or website. The former attracts fewer angry 40-something shorthairs, but don't just look at overall rating, see how the votes are distributed. While you're there, make sure you read a few 1s or 2s. Is it some cunt ranting or do they have a legitimate beef? Between that and whatever pictures are shown on their own page/socials, I get a pretty decent sense of what's popular or looks worth a try.

The waiter doesn't make the food. They just serve it. Also, there's no reason for them to touch the rim of a glass like that. Do you really want someone who may have not washed their hands after going to the bathroom or someone who possibly coughed into their hand or dug in their noses to touch a place where you're going to put your mouth? You don't know where that hand has been.

Most things can be done in about ten minutes. A lot of stuff is ignoring it while it simmers on the stove/cooks in the oven.

Not being able cook is fine when you live alone, but I hope you don't plan to eat out for every meal when you've got kids mate. Are you seriously thinking of spending around forty dollars minimum every night? I hope you're not planning on having your wife cook for you, most women these days can't cook and are proud of that fact. And I really hope you're not going to just eat frozen shit if your biggest argument is time, because you're not doing your time any favors by eating that shit.

As a Yelper when I give a negative review, if I want the company to succeed then I try to lightly push them in the right direction by alerting them that there is a problem.
