same here.


agree with SJ too and they certainly are 'web savvy' enough to post on twitter (which is more than can be said for some businesses, rightly or wrongly for them). Er..and I am talking about the not-the-cakes one.

It is a definite problem - these unofficial "reviews" are necessarily completely subjective and one person's favourite establishment is another's "never again". I do think there is a major difference between a customer's criticism and a disgruntled ex-employee's.


The big mistake for any establishment though is for them to lose their rag and issue an indignant and poorly written flounce in response, forbidding any mention of their name. As the OP states, others have responded to criticism with positive and mature steps to address any issues (without submitting to the whims of every bitchy complainant.)


I wouldn't frequent an establishment that had the sort of attitude we have just witnessed.

Well, it's not like this forum has a solid core of regular users, with memories like elephants and a good eye for spotting spam or astroturfing posts, who will from henceforth go out of their way to comply with the letter of forum rules, whilst making quite clear what they think of this kind of approach...


Oh.

He's obviously lost his sense of hummus

I was looking at frequenting one of the above mentioned establishments last week, but then found this thread, and it made be wary. Since going past it since then, I've noted that it is significantly quieter than it was around opening time. Now that could be because people aren't going back, or because those that may have given it a try haven't risked it, like me.


So his request to have reviews removed could have backfired...

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
