The exact opposite is actually what's happening. 

3.5% of GDP.  The GND would be multiple years of the country’s entire GDP. 

The only thing online reviews ever taught me was that John Q. Chucklefuck has no clue what constitutes a good restaurant experience and wouldn’t know quality cuisine if it ate them.

Why do people feel the need to give reviews? Is it ego? A dopamine rush at the idea of others benefiting from your thoughts? The need to be loved by strangers?

I really think it’d be good for the planet if vegans would tone their shit down a tad. Of course, there are perfectly nice vegans, but “movement” vegans who scream bloody murder about shit like that make me want to, well, eat a pig’s face just out of spite.
That’s assuming they actually want to change people’s…

I owned a small restaurant for 3 years and Yelp was probably the worst thing in the world. I had mostly 4-5 star reviews, but there were a couple negative ones thrown in there (some fake from competitors). The biggest issue is that people write these reviews like they are some high end food critic from the NYT.…

My favourite 1 star reviews are when they 100% made the error but blame the product. I think there was one for a fridge organizer along the lines of “I didn’t measure my fridge and this doesn’t fit” 1*

The restaurant equivalent of the 1* review is usually similar.

Everyone involved in this story is annoying. You deserve each other. 

You’ve had issues 6 out of 10 times there and you continue to go back?

One Star Reviewer sounds like a caricature of a food critic, and Restaurant Owner sounds like a weirdo and/or doofus. Everyone in this scenario sucks.

Hey David, if you ever need someone to sit there drinking beer while repeating “whoa, that doesn’t look good”

About the same amount of time you need to go and protest eating meat.

Every major business uses an ESP, and if your favorite brands can’t track you, then they can’t personalize their messages. Many consumers claim that they hate being tracked, but what they hate more is when a brand can’t even recognize basic demographic data, like your age, location, gender, birthday, shirt size,…

There was a time when it was OK for a company to make things for people because they wanted it, not because it needed to provide a basic or essential task. Do you feel this way about companies who make things like Jet Skis too? Do you need a 5 dollar cup of coffee laden with 4 different flavorings and little chocolate…

“Hello, Pastor Smith!,” as I peruse the varieties of Campbell’s Chunky soups would just come out as “FUUUUUCCCCCK!!!!”

Friend and I sat next to Jon Hamm at the bar (in DTLA) and didn’t know it because at that time he’d never been filmed with a beard and he also had a hat on. He went outside and someone we knew came in and said he was outside smoking and described what he was wearing. We were mildly upset we didn’t realize it was him.

No.

I don’t haz cash. U take trade for a motorcycle and a dimebag?

So crass and rude. The most I’ve done is get a picture of me with Rosario Dawsen, who I’d been introduced to and talked to several minutes before. She was really cool. Bothering someone during their meal? Fucking rude. The most you do is ask for a picture when they are about to leave or something.
