Small business begging for a review

[Contempt]

I own multiple businesses. We get 1 star reviews from people who've never even been our customer. ..I dont understand humans

They're probably from your competitors.

Had this company provide a home inspection service on a house I'm buying and now they won't stop begging me for a 5 star review.

The service was good as far as I can tell.

But they text me, email me, etc and say "are there any more questions we can answer for you? By the way, small businesses like ours depend on 5 star reviews...."

I've gotten like 3 of these messages now over the past week.

So now I feel like not giving them a review just on principle, because I don't like them pestering me.

But on the other hand, the service was good so maybe I'm just being a jerk and should lighten up and just give them their 5 stars.

If I'm being bothered like that, I'd likely give them a negative review.

I typically react poorly to this kind of stuff. However in the case of a small company i would help them out.

Aren t there some shady agencies that specialise on these types of work using thousands of bot accounts?

Maybe..but in my case I think they're just bored people out there

*One Star Out Of Five.

They asked me three times in a week to leave a review, so here it is.

@lsa leaves 1-star reviews even when he's received good service.

They had it coming....

WTF... I'd tell them to shove their food up their asses and walk out the door, just on principle.

Show them contempt .

I'm like you by the sound of it.

a small food joint straight up had me bust out my phone at the counter and show my 5 star review before giving me the food

I'm laidback, have patience for assholes, but I can't tolerate f*ck-f*ck games like that.

my usual approach when solicited like that is to tell them i'll do it when i get home, but this dude was insistent. Probably not a long-term strategy on his part.

I did notice when I opened my phone to write the 5 star review, there was a recent small flood of bad reviews they were hit by, which surprised me. I can see why he was so insistent

What did you order, and was is even good?

chicken biryani, the portion was plentiful, which was the primary reason why i went there..but no longer!

A little bit, but they are overdoing it. Give them a good review, but send them an email suggesting they lighten up.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

I just pay for the product or service. You want stars for your work, go back to kindergarten

"5 stars, would not visit again"

Such an odd circumstance

Did they ask for a tip as well?

No but the fucking carpet cleaning guy had me pay through an app that brought up a screen just like that one.

I wouldn't have cared if his price was higher, but that tipping screen pissed me off. Won't be using him again.
