people that YELP are scumbags

from a review of a local bar:

"I don't care much for drinking whiskey in bars. When I am in a bar I want to get drunk fast and easy."

UH

IRONING DO U SEE

who the fuck are these deranged, attention-seeking scumbags?

― on in the b.g. while you're grouting (stevie)

people who are considered the extroverted comedian in their small group of friends, and use sites like Yelp to take the show on the road. the real scumbags are the people who flag reviews like that as 'useful', 'funny', and especially 'cool'.

this thread title bothers me so much

people WHO yelp

that's what's good about this thread imo, whenever you hear/think about yelp you think "people that yelp are scumbags," it sticks in your mind

ppl yelpin ppl

i use yelp to find restaraunts near places i'm going, but make it a point to never read a word these worthless clowns have to say

should be 'disgusting savages' imo

in other words, sure our site works in a total counterintuitive method and our ad reps suggest obliquely that advertising will help you on the site but it's not like we're UNETHICAL exactly...

Truth: Our entire sales department is prohibited from creating any review content on the site. No member of the sales department has the administrative capability to remove reviews.

what a non-denial...so the sales rep who calls the businesses doesn't do the dirty work themselves? What does that prove?

I don't think it's a conspiracy that all these businesses have the same story about shady Yelp tactics, I just wish that someone in a one-party consent state could actually record a call, or that someone at yelp could be dumb enough to put it in an email.

maybe it's because they are being sued but I did not see any real denial in that post anyway

reviews that start "Ahhh, [place's name]," and continue to address it in second person, worst type of review?

I have never ordered anything from Pho Basil which I have not devoured in a single sitting.

Last night was no exception. I was feeling chickeny, so I ordered the chicken satay skewers with peanut sauce, and the Basil Chicken with vegetables.

The Basil Chicken is phenomenal. Huge pile o steamed vegetables, a delicious savory sauce, and almost-but-not-quite overwhelming basil flavor from the fresh basil leaves.

Yes, so I ate it all. Big deal. Your mom.

Let's just all keep endorsing this

i got kind of mad just parsing that post

i fucking hate this girl
http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_aSs5dSAabuwnXUGBPzASw

she seems to review every single restaurant in SF, all of her posts are in that retarded format and all of her pictures are 'hey look at me i'm a yelp slut'

Ahh Han Ah Reum, how I've taken you for granted. Foolish of me to think I'd move to the Bay Area and find bountiful Korean markets. I am so foolish.

Out here, the banchans are not as varied and they run out of kimchee! WTF. However, the produce is just as suspect as your produce. However, you can't beat the frozen mandoos and bi-bim-gook-soo which I cannot find here. Well, I can but they're made in China and I don't like lead in my food.

At least the lines here aren't as ridiculously long as your lines, but that's probably because the selections are as enormous as your's.

pix thread waiting to happen

Vibe: Chill

It's not often that when going out for dinner with friends, i think, "Gee, where could we go for horrible service, a sub-par meal, and maybe even have the waitress forget to place my order?" If I were to think this and was looking for the ambiance of a VIP section minus the velvet ropes, then Cafe Saint Ex would be the place for me!

Although the waitress forget to place my order, she did manage to have a wonderful time sitting and chatting with her friends who were yacking it up at the table behind us. Oh yes, my meal was comped, and it was a good thing because I would have felt guilty paying for such a sad excuse for a hamburger. At least the waitress enjoyed herself!

Ahh gentrification...you bring us such soulless restaurants and bars and make us feel so uncool when we actually ask for respectable service.

Ah, Club Charles. You and your trapeze delivered some of the few bright spots of my Baltimorean tenure. I'd come visit you on a Friday night, cram myself into your teeming throngs, be bathed in red lighting, order a Manhattan, and listen to music that I'd actually want to hear.

There were times when I'd go by and the crowd would be completely dead (once in the heat of summer when your air conditioner was broken, but other times unexplained). The barstaff seemed friendly but I never really got the opportunity to befriend them because Baltimore's version of hipster boys were all throwing their nonchalant fervor into trying to woo them at once. I can't recommend Club Charles as a non-stop all the time extravaganza of fun. But it's head and shoulders above most of the local competition.

You might be saying to yourself: dude, come on. This place looks creepy on the outside and there's a good chance I'll get robbed on North Avenue. And what do I say to that? If you're thinking about that, you don't understand this bar. It's not supposed to be glamorous, it's not supposed to be trendy. It has character and with great bartenders and prices to boot, you should just savor the ambiance. Club Chuck has trapeze artists, for Christ's sake. +50 right there!

This bar isn't for everyone but for those regulars and understanding folks out there, you know how cool this place is. Think of it like a 'Cheers'--- except everyone might not know your name and yeah, you might get jumped out on North Ave. But psshhh, details.

I do like Club Charles, though.

I enjoyed a fantastic day of tennis here on a corner court with patio, which doubled as the dining area for lunch. It felt a little Gatsby, except these particular hosts killed me with their over-the-top efforts to prove how wonderful they are @ sports, silently asking me to ignore the couple's combined age of 180. Pathetic display of uber-competition, complete with elbow / knee pads, headbands, etc. and a bit of sniffing when I didn't take the bait and game seriously.

While biting into the chilled prawns I smiled knowing I may be terrible at tennis, but at least still young enough to not only dine alfresco today and perhaps another thirty years, picking up a racket again when I want to; these poseurs will still be..............dead.

And the writer.........still won't be able to construct a sentence.

wtf is that even a review of

congratulation to yelp scumbags for outliving old ppl

Tempted to join Yelp just to write a scathing review of the shitty bar I was in last night with an ATM that would ONLY allow 20 dollar withdrawals for a $2.50 fee, but I remembered that I do have standards.

wait you couldn't get out more than 20 bucks at a time?

Nope, that was the only option. Even if you manually typed in other amounts it wouldn't let you exceed 20 bucks.

fuck yelp, that shouldn't even be legal. i wonder who you could file a complaint with.

I was just pissed because they wouldn't let me start a tab on my card, plus we were there to see a band play and since there was no reentry I couldn't just fuck off down the street to a bank or something.

oh my god--what a horrible set of policies

can't believe a place like that will stay in business..?

the review was for an athletic club, apparently one with dining options

jon - what place was it?

The bartenders were cool (all girls). We ordered 8 dirty girl scout cookie shooters, and the bartender gave us 2 of them free since it was so expensive ($11 each). One of the girls in our group dropped her drink and shattered glass everywhere...they just got some Mexican woman to clean it up, and didn't cause a fuss or get mad at us or anything.

i only go to places that have some mexican woman on staff

so last week, the co-founder of the site and the vp of marketing walked away from yelp (2 of the 3 most visible yelp execs), both citing a desire for "some time off". Could this have anything to do with the $500M offer from google earlier this year that was turned down and promptly created mucho drama in the office?

RIP yelp.

Look bitches.. I understand it gets late, you need to close the indoor area. It costs money to pay people $6 an hour to press buttons on the cash register. But you're also located about .01 miles away from a major convention hotel. If you're going to keep the drive-thru open, at least take orders from people who 1) don't have a car or 2) have been drinking a-la convention style and would prefer not to get a DUI/DWI just to get some chicken nuggets. I walk up to your stupid drive-thru at 10:30PM, and place my order, then you won't give it to me because I'm not in a car. What's up with that? You already made the freakin' food. Screw you. I ordered Domino's instead.
