How come they didn't threaten the Michelin Star dude who was in Atlanta like this.

:mjpls:

1. You KNOW why.
2. Because the Michelin star reviewer doesn't put your shyt on blast on TikTok. nikkas ain't reading Gastronomica.


People are so fukking soft. Instead of IDK, working on your service and improving the product. Let's threaten man. We can't bring every nikka with us ya'll.

Give the negative feedback privately. Putting the business on blast is obviously creating an undesired reaction. The potential for violence.

Less be real. You have a sub section of nikkas that want to hear the shytty reviews for laughs and antagonization and if the owner gets buck about it a pull up will be prescribed.

You have folks who have scraped together their last dime for their last shot at prosperity and a bad review can send them to the poor house. We aren't white. Bounce g back isn't easy.

Private negative reviews so they can work on their issues, or not.

The people who usually hungry and want to succeed don’t have these problems.

Have you looked at the owners of the restaurants he said had poor service and the ones he said were amazing? They ones with poor service include Kandi Burress and Lil Baby. 2 people who ain’t scraped shyt to open their restaurants.

The spots he went to and praised actually were family owned restaurants who begged him to come so they could drum up business.

So you're saying reviews shouldn't exist because people might get upset? :skip:
I wonder if people like you are stupid or if you just turn your brain off when posting online.

I don't think I should have to explain to you how being criticised by someone with a wide following differs from being criticised by an ordinary member of the public.

If some random person left a review, it will be balanced against the reviews from random people. If the net result is negative, that points towards issues with their business. They might be belligerent but normal people would be more willing to take the feedback into consideration.

When someone with clout leaves a negative review, their views are amplified (the inverse also applies which is why they're paid so much for endorsement). If the other views have been positive or neutral, it is going to leave the business owner feeling as though their efforts have been undermined.

You undermine people efforts, and fukk with their business, you're going to get on their shyt list.

There's talk of "this generation being soft and unable to handle criticism. It is ironic. You wouldn't get away with fukking with someone's business in any era. The irony is with the failure to understand how people react to someone fukking with their money. This failure is down to people being socialised on the internet where the consequences for crossing lines are limited.

Did they ask him to review their restaurant?

You can't just fukk with people livelihoods and expect then to treat it as just business. When people can't pay bills, they'll get emotional.

So basically, let's not ever critically discuss music, movies, food, books, essays, video games, clothing, or any other consumable good physical or not?

Reviews affect all those things livelihoods. It is LITERALLY just business. If you can't handle public scrutiny then go work at State Farm or something.

It matters not if its a normal person or someone on social media. We've all seen bad reviews go viral that are made by totally anonymous people. But on the flip side, there's plenty of restaurants that have been torn to shreds by educated, professional food critics and shut down because they didn't keep up with the standard. Word of mouth is one of the single most important elements to being a restaurateur, and to do that you gotta treat EVERYONE well. Regardless if they got social followings or not.

If I take my money and buy a Ferrari then get drunk and crash it into a wall two months later, I can't blame Ferrari for their car or my state for its roads. I CRASHED I because I was driving like a dikkhead and wasted my money. If you open a resturaunt and don't provide good service or don't provide good food...that's not the reviewers fault. That's on you.

There was a problem. I gave a solution. Logic doesn't work with everyone. If you're ready to shoot someone to put out bad reviews I guess the bad reviews are a important part of your business model
