LAWYERS: can business owner sue you over bad Yelp reviews?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 22nd, 2017 9:34 PM Author: Mustard library stain for example,
i wrote a scathing review for a new restaurant. I simply said the food tasted bad and it was overpriced. I submitted many photos to prove that i was actually there. I wrote from a subjective point of view. I said that the food didn't taste good for ME, however others could form a different opinion.
Well the owner personally emailed me to take down my review in exchange for a refund. He said that my review will hurt his business and that he's just a father who is trying to feed his family.
It's a dog eat dog world, ladies and gentleman. Why should I feel bad if he's providing the public with terrible food? I'd take my review down not for a refund, but for fear of a lawsuit. What's the chance he would file one? Would he win? |

Date: July 22nd, 2017 9:37 PM Author: curious theatre trump supporter Leave the poor guy alone. If you don't like the food then don't go back. No need to warn people unless he's defrauding people. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3682240&forum_id=2#33833722) |

Date: July 22nd, 2017 9:41 PM Author: Mustard library stain brother, business owners love to appeal to emotion. "i'm just trying to feed my family..." Well guess what, I am too. You're not special. I am simply posting my opinion on the Yelp. If your food is so good, I am sure you will receive plenty of good reviews that will make my review irrelevant. He's just scared because he has 3.5 stars on Yelp. Not my fault. Don't jump in if you can't swim. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3682240&forum_id=2#33833754) |

|
Date: July 22nd, 2017 9:40 PM Author: azure zombie-like box office generalized bond your logic is self defeating. how does it benefit you to write the review in the first place? it doesn't. the only argument to leave it up is that you're "benefitting" potential customers. why should you benefit them over him?
|
|
Date: July 22nd, 2017 9:42 PM Author: Mustard library stain I should benefit them because I benefit a lot from others' reviews on Yelp. They have provided me good advice. I am returning the favor. The owner hasn't done anything for me except ripped me off. I overspent for bad food. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3682240&forum_id=2#33833760) |
|
Date: July 22nd, 2017 9:45 PM Author: azure zombie-like box office generalized bond he has offered you a refund. so by your logic, shouldn't you benefit him back? and if he's a guy who will give refunds to people who don't like his food, then is there really any problem with his restaurant?
|
|
Date: July 22nd, 2017 9:51 PM Author: Mustard library stain He would benefit. Not me. I would get my money back. But is it even worth it? I mean, I already spent gas money to go there. You want me to spend more gas money to go back?
In the business world, if you don't provide something valuable, you get eliminated. It's not MY fault his food stinks. If you're a father, why take the risk of opening a restaurant? Why are you doing that when you could find a regular job to provide for you and your family? Seems awfully selfish. I have no remorse. Why? Because I could easily get fired from my job if i have lackluster performance. I look out for ME. It's a dog eat dog world. |
