\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0One of my favorite shows was Justified and there’s a classic line on there that the star of the show says to a guy that everyone knows is a jerk. \u00a0“If you wake up in the morning and see an asshole, you’ve seen an asshole. \u00a0But if everyone you see is an asshole, then YOU’RE the asshole.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Below is another example of a customer who was in the wrong but felt the need to post a bad review on Yelp to attack the restaurant staff she was rude to. \u00a0Kudos to the restaurant for defending their servers. \u00a0“Your service will, more often than not, be a reflection of your own attitude and energy.” \u00a0 This is true whether you’re dealing with a server, retail cashier, or a manager on a complaint. \u00a0 You will get back what you give.<\/p>\n

2016 continues to be the year that restaurant owners are making Yelp their bitch. It\u2019s almost like owners across the country have collectively agreed to stand up to the Yelpers and make sure that other people know when a review is unjustified. Such is the case with a restaurant called Milestone in El Dorado, California when a woman named Gretchen V. sharted up a review on Yelp<\/a> about what she perceived to be a less-than-ideal dinner experience. Gretchen V. was so displeased with her Steak Diane that she lost all ability to form correct sentences and forgot what punctuation is, because reading parts of her review is like trying to decipher hieroglyphics with the Rosetta Stone.<\/em>\"Screen<\/a>The first time she got her panties in a twist (like she wears \u2018em) was when her entree came out before she finished her salad. The horror! Even though the manager offered to keep the plates warm in the kitchen Gretchen V. refused and then when she thought the steak was only lukewarm and they offered to remake the dinner, she refused again. We all know why she refused: because then she wouldn\u2019t have anything to complain about. Gretchen V. also complained that her waitress never came back to check on her and was still unsatisfied even when the entrees were taken off the bill.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/header>\n

Enter Nick D., the business owner who is going to explain to Gretchen V. what is wrong with her review. \u201cYour service will, more often than not, be a reflection of your own attitude and energy,\u201d he tells her and the she just doesn\u2019t \u201cget it.\u201d He also tells her that after it was clear that Gretchen was never going to be satisfied (\u201cTell me about it,\u201d says Gretchen\u2019s husband), the waitress (and everyone else) was told to simply ignore the table and use the positive attention on people in the restaurant who were happy to be there.<\/em>\"Screen<\/a>I kinda love that he instructed all the service staff to avoid her table which was probably pretty easy to do, what with the overwhelming stench of vinegar that was probably emanating from her every orifice. He also straight out tells her she is \u201cnot at all kind\u201d which, in my experience may or may not be corporate speak for \u201cyou are a miserable person.\u201d Finally, he tells her that, although she would be willing to come back to try the burger or the fried chicken, to not bother.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bravo, Nick D., bravo. Why shouldn\u2019t business owners defend their online reputation? Milestone has great reviews on Yelp and he wants anyone who sees her shitty two-star review to understand that the problem was with her and not the restaurant. If this is the new trend for Yelp, I am all for it. Here is Milestone\u2019s Facebook page<\/a> in case you want to pop over and say hello. I\u2019m sure they\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/em><\/p>\n

As for Gretchen V., I suggest she saves her complaints for big corporate restaurant chains who are more than willing to jump through hoops and bend over backwards in effort to please a bitch. If she complains on the right Facebook page, maybe she\u2019ll even get a coupon for a free dessert from Applebee\u2019s.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
