people that YELP are scumbags

haaa

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.

The tale of how a dollar can cost an establishment hundreds of dollars in future business.

I had been hyped to come here since I read about it on a food blog. But I was really disappointed by the service last night, and in particular of the manager.

The wine list is not bad and the beer list is pretty good. It was the night of my master's graduation, I went with my fiance, my sister and her husband and my classmate. We were drinking beer and wine, sitting at the communal table.

My fiance has recently really gotten hooked on http://foursquare.com and instantly checked in when he got here. He saw that Waterloo & City offered http://foursquare.com users one dollar off of a beer for their first check-in to it. He told the server about the offer, and she was puzzled. She had no idea what http://foursquare.com was and didn't know about the offer. That's not offensive, http://foursquare.com is part of the next wave of social media and will be a tool for discerning diners, just as Yelp was and is. Not everyone knows about it yet. So the server called the manager over.

I don't know the manager's name, but she came over, (she had short red hair). She could barely contain her disdain for this offer and tried to convince us that it was tied to a World Cup special for tomorrow. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE DOLLAR--it was about an excited social media user, my fiance, getting into http://foursquare.com and wanting to interact with what he thought would be a savvy, super-connected business. I mean, it's a freaking dollar, but when he was made to feel like a jerk or a nerd for trying to use the foursquare discount, I was offended.

That's not customer service. She derisively told my fiance she would try and make a badge for him and kept repeating this to mock him. I'm glad she had a laugh at his expense, but why go out of your way to alienate a new set of customers over one dollar? Why does an establishment offer discounts across social media platforms if the managers mock the customers who try to use them?

We had two more rounds, the waitstaff was very attentive, but when we got the bill, the controversial dollar had not been taken off the check.

You can be sure that we will tell all our friends, especially our Culver City friends and our http://foursquare.com-using friends, to stay away from a business that mocked my fiance. For no good reason at all. We will go out of our way to make sure that everyone we know avoids this place.

revenge of the nerds itt

So does that make her and her fiance condescending YELP scumbags or foursquare doucebags?

This shit pisses me off so much, especially when these asshats are talking about the local diner.

Oops.

that one is like the Aeneid of Yelp reviews

will proudly dine at waterloo and city if i'm ever in culver city

foursquare is the most useless, narcissistic piece of shit

her fiance sounds like a cool, interesting guy

Instead of interacting with the waitress and the manager he wanted to go online with his fucking phone and 'interact' with the business?

man Whiney sometimes you say something that makes me go "that right there is my brother and I will rep for him anywhere"

fucking foursquare

From the tone of her "review", I'm imagining it went something like this:

Foursquare Dork: "Honey, really, not a big deal. Its a dollar, let it go."

Yelp Scumbag: "Oh no, I will not stand for this! Bring me your manager immediately! This is an OUTRAGE!"

Foursquare Dork: *slinks down in booth*

it was about an excited social media user

today we are all excited social media users

dont feed the trolls

I guess something's wrong with me because I found nothing to complain about in amy b.'s post. People who smoke in no-smoking restaurants are scumbags.
