Entitled idiots are a favorite of mine and Yelp offers up nothing but the best. Really should be a running thread.

From a one star review for Skeleton Key Brewery in Woodridge:

Quote:
This place discriminates. I have a friend who has celiacs disease and I understand they are a Brewery and gluten free options are minimal with beer but they had none. She went to see a friends band and opted to bring wine seeing they had no gluten free options. They confiscated her wine and gave her no gluten free options. Very discriminatory. I will never go there.

I have a few issues with food myself. You really have to do research, before you go to a place.

You can not expect some franchise or hole in the wall, to have gluten free options.

Clearly they knew there were no gluten free options before they went because one of them had the presence of mind to bring a bottle of wine to the place. But that's not going to stop them from complaining about it online!

I'm sure they serve soda and definitely have water, maybe even for FREE!

The friend needs to learn how to smuggle in airplane bottles or zip locks of booze.

These reviews are the equivalent of 5 star reviews on Amazon which start like this "I just opened my package and so far my headphones are working GREAT."

No shit, dumbass. Why don't you wait a couple months before posting a "review."

Can you, expect them to, have unnecessary commas?

Yelp reviews across the board are generally lower than google reviews for the same places.

Anybody know why this is?

for instance, look up any restaurant that has a 4.5 google stars. Now look it up on Yelp. Guaranteed it has only 4 stars.

This is across the board, any restaurant.

Why is this?

Are yelpers more honest? More negative? Is it a different audience that posts on yelp versus on Google?

You can usually find some gems in the hidden reviews as well. Virtually every client in my industry gets murdered in online reviews.

Is there any other kind?
