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...

    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
