people that YELP are scumbags

omar killin it with both those analogies

djp/amtrst i was really responding to emil.y but probably took it too far bc i'm laid up, in pain and grumpy. just having little tolerance for the preciousness of veggie-come-latelies tonight.

Don't look at me, I just ate wayyy too much chicken.

Now going to sue the restaurant, brb.

oh, i was agreeing w/ you 100% and disagreeing w/ emily.

it only *tasted* like chicken

Hipster central. Awful techno music with no vocals or any sort of build (and I actually do like electronic dance music normally.) It's quite literally a basement. I guess the graffiti-ed walls and ceiling are kind of cool, but I kept looking around expecting to see a rat. They actually ran out of several of the drinks that were on special, even though it wasn't really packed.

That said, my friends and I had a great time, but it had pretty much nothing to do with what Medusa actually has to offer.

so...

"if we could give ourselves 5 stars we would"

Yuh.

It's quite literally below street level!!!

"...I kept looking to see a rat. They actually ran out of several of the drinks that were on special.."

I love the way this is worded. I had to read it twice because I legit thought rats were coming out of the drinks

they were disappointed there was no graffitti renderings of rats i think

I have never been to a bar before, two stars

lol

that place looks rad

yeah I think it's a great space. I always forget about it tho...

UH. MILKSHAKE. BROUGHT. ALL THE GIRLS. TO THE YARD. Yeah it was $5 but that caramelized hazelnut shake was the best thing ever.

VINCENT: Can I have a sip of that? I'd like to know what a five-dollar shake tastes like.

MIA: Be my guest. You can use my straw, I don't have kooties.

VINCENT: Yeah, but maybe I do.

MIA: Kooties I can handle.

VINCENT: G&*@#n! That's a pretty f@#$%&n' good milk shake.

MIA: Told ya.

VINCENT: I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty f@#$&n' good.

where do these people live that paying $5 for something blows their fuckin minds

$6 is reasonable for a really good milkshake.

i've never spent less than like $4.50 for a G&*@#n milkshake

i worked at an ice cream place a small one requires like four large scoops

Gaxehn milkshake

gordian milkshake

The security at this mall harasses and kicks out people for dressing differently. No explanation was provided for why a group of girls was kicked out; they were just shopping and placed some purchases before heading to the food court. However, they were dressed in an alternative Japanese fashion style. They were escorted to the exit with no reason given and even though they left without making a fuss one security guard harassed one of the girls, getting very close and in her face. She is now traumatized from this aggressive behavior and is seeking legal and psychological counsel. The security staff called the police, but since there was no crime committed the police officer did nothing. It is unclear why security acted in the manner, but I urge you not to support a mall that hires such unprofessional and rude security guards.

"Awful techno music with no vocals or any sort of build"

sounds great!

"Rude bartender, regulars charged different than others."

From a 1-star review of a dive bar. Textbook Yelp view, the idea that giving regulars a deal is a bad thing. DISCOUNTS SHOULD BE GROUPON BASED LIKE GOD INTENDED.

omg

watch the video at the top of the gawker link

The 35-year-old "lifelong entrepreneur" says he came up with the card after visiting a restaurant in Paris where he got poor service — they served him the wrong kind of tea with his meal — until he threatened to write a bad review on TripAdvisor.

"The next thing I knew, the waiter was back with the manager, who apologized and offered to pay for my breakfast," he said.

Thinking in a hurry, Newman decided to start issuing cards that do nothing except tell proprietors that you have an account on Yelp and you're not afraid to use it.

back of card should read "when the revolution starts, i will be first against the wall"

ugh that is so gross

lmao al

hahaha

For those who want their food spat in by management rather than the workers.

HELLO I AM A DOUCHEBAG AND THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS NOW MY DOUCHETERIA, HERE IS MY CARD

I'm going to make cards that businesses can give to Reviewercard cardholders with their receipts that say, "people that YELP are scumbags."

A. CARDHOLDER

If I were a restaurant owner I'd throw them out.

whaaaaaaaaaat
but...but...but he has a card

Cannot wait until I can wave my certificate of internet-disseminated opinions next time I receive the wrong kind of tea in a foreign country known for not really drinking tea

we should really print up stickers that at first glance look exactly like those "read about us on Yelp!" stickers businesses put in their front windows but actually say "people who Yelp! are scumbags"

lol

i just want to slap it out of his hand as hard as i can

one douche to rule them all

really hope Yelp sues them in to oblivion, seeing as though the logical conclusion of their business model eventually invalidates all Yelp reviews

This is amazing. So the idea is that anyone who gets one of these cards converts themselves into a protection racket on two legs? I knew all this media fetishization of the mob would end poorly.

it's as if these people have no idea what the function of a food critic is

"People hate us on YELP!" stickers exist and I have seen them posted on the doors of insufferable coffeeshops, a phenomenon in which a scumbag has actually climbed into its own bag and inverted itself into a kind of scum Klein bottle
