There's a locavore BBQ joint near me that has the same issue. When they run out of x for the day it's just gone, no more can be made. The owner started keeping a can of sloppy joe meat in the pantry for every time someone demands the kitchen magic-up some shredded pork. As of yet I don't think anyone has taken him up…

I was a hostess at a family friendly local bar and restaurant for a long time. On a Friday night my fellow host and I got a guest complaint that we were 'Laughing together and smiling' when a guest walked in as if we were 'in cahoots'. I would have understood it if it was a really stylish somber place, but we were…

Wow. If he was my dad, I would have gotten married somewhere in Alberta, too.

Yelp is like a fancy place for internet trolls to get their hate on. My boyfriend works at a barbecue restaurant where they smoke their meat for 12-14 hours. It's delicious, but you can't just whip up some extra meat at a moment's notice. Some days, he comes home with extra food, and some days he comes home exhausted…

Late to this conversation and know that my comment will never be seen, but when I worked at a restaurant I was once ripped a new one by my boss for a bad review on Yelp. The reviewer mocked my dress and explained how rude it was of me to ask if I could move her crutches, which were on the floor, so that our servers…

Our major, downtown, Frederick Law Olmstead designed park was rated poorly because it was raining when the reviewer visited.

I am snorting through my nose with laughter at this story. I sound disgusting, in fact. I especially love "Some people can hold a grudge like it's their job." In my family, we call those people relatives...Uncle Joe, is that you?

Fascinating. What is the currency called "momma money"? How does it differ from "I have cash and want service money"?

It's illegal in California. Former server here...state law says you cannot deny a request for water if a patron has been drinking alcohol. Employees serving alcohol have a responsibility for making sure a patron does not get too inebriated....but obviously you can't track everyone's consumption.

My favorite yelp response of all time:

You would be in violation of your liquor license in the state of Oregon.

It's almost as though people don't mind accommodating a person who is not behaving like an ass.

"Portland Yelpers are a very special breed of mentally deranged snowflake."

NYC FOR SURE. If you ask for a glass of tap water at a restaurant, they have to give it to you, even if you're not a customer. In NYC, whenever I go out to a bar, I can always ask for a glass of water for free. If I don't feel like drinking (hey, we've all had those nights), I'll ask them to make it look like a vodka…

Oregon and Arizona are two states that I know of which require restaurants to serve free water to customers. The only time a restaurant would not be allowed to charge for bottled water is if they did not have tap water available.

That's because you're not a fuckhead.

ASIANS ARE THERE TO APPEASE MY SIGHT HOLES, PLEBS. THIS MUSIC IS NOT ORIENTAL ENOUGH! WHERE ARE MY GEISHAS?! WHY AREN'T YOU ALL WEARING KIMONOS?

Re: Claire, you give vegans a bad name. I became a vegan earlier this year and I discovered that my favorite coffee place didn't carry soy milk. So I went online and wrote a shitty review to get back at them for not anticipating my voluntary food choices - JUST KIDDING - I wrote a polite email to their customer…

Could have used some vegan options.
