"You used to sell 16 OZ boxes that contained at least 160 crackers. I'm very OCD so I count them. There are now around 120 or less. Math says these boxes are 12 OZ. Each OZ was 10 crackers years ago. The last box had 116! Please correct all future boxes. Do NOT just offer me a few free boxes. The FTC will be contacted. I will allow 3 month to correct the problem." I sent this in around 3 weeks ago and haven't gotten a response. Is there still an organization out there that weighs products or can a company rip off customers? A 13.7 OZ box should contain 137 crackers.
Helpful? Yes|No

also if you're ever in that kentlands/quince orchard area, i super recommend gemelli's! i've been getting my lunch there way too much. they make a huge amount of fresh pasta every day and their hard bread sandwiches are indeed dank

I don't know if any bar or entity deserves a 5 star review but I've been to way too many bars and this one is...at a minimum, just way better than most others.
It's like that infamous Pitchfork review that described CYHSY as like every other cool-sounding indie rock band except a lot better -- yeah, that's kind of Monty.

I really find it depressing on some deep level that someone in a position of educational leadership posted those reviews

It's not just that they insult poor people, though they do, it's that they're so. fucking. stupid.

I mean she either thought nobody would look at her reviews, or that people would look and think "wow, those are some good-ass reviews"
lol
― mh, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 14:47 (six years ago) link
That makes it even worse, somehow -- her job is to be a mentor and guide for students, some of whom and some of whose parents are the kind of people she feels free to crap on for Yelp likes
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 17 May 2017 14:48 (six years ago) link
yeah i meant more like she's a dumbass administrator and not like some storied comp lit professor in a tweed jacket, which definitely makes it less funny
― adam, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 14:55 (six years ago) link
I think it's kind of funny that she thought these reviews would go over well and she has a Ph.D. in social psychology!

Can't speak for Yale but analogous positions at Harvard are held by professors; I assume she is one as well.
― PJD PDJ DPJ (DJP), Wednesday, 17 May 2017 15:10 (six years ago) link
No it seems different; as far as I can tell she's not a professor at Yale. (She has a master's degree from Harvard, though! I'm sure Yale is telling itself that's the problem.)

ah I was equating "dean" to "house master"; it looks like it's actually more like "senior tutor"

each residential college also has a 'master' (I believe they're changing that now because it sounds bad)

Yelp kinda feels like a thing that's circling the drain in terms of cultishness maybe? it still exists as a repository for reviews but i feel like that whole elite shit peaked half a decade ago. maybe i'm wrong, i haven't done a deep dive on yelp in a long time.

It remains a useful first pass if you're in an unfamiliar place and hungry and want to know "which of the things I can see from here are awful?"

we should start a review site called Hello!pages which reviews places based on whether or not the employees greet you with a "Hello!" or not, grading them also on tone and sincerity, whether or not they make eye contact, etc.

Cheesecake Factory - Sherman Oaks, CAUpon entry, the hostess looked up and smiled. She walked around towards our party of three and asked, "How many?" I was taken aback, having expected to be greeted with a "Hello" first. "Hello," I replied sarcastically. "Three." Why not say hello first? Why ask how many when there are only three? Very confusing.2 stars for the friendly albeit possibly forced smile.

That doesn't seem all that far-fetched to me, tbh. Unless it's an anniversary or Valentine's Day date, my wife and I tend to do dinner with at least 3 other people when we go out, if not more. (We had two separate standing groups of 7 ppl who would do regular dinner dates every other month before we had kids.)
