Entitled Instagrammer Leaves Restaurant One-Star Review For Not Giving Them An Influencer Discount
04 November 2019
Generally, one would hope Yelp reviews offer an accurate glimpse into how good or bad a restaurant is.
One reviewer, however, has recently gone viral for a one-star critique of a restaurant that had nothing to do with the service or the food.
<p><strong>The reviewers biggest problem with the restaurant? </strong></p><p>They weren't given a discount for being an Instagram influencer.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.indy100.com/article/instagram-influencer-discount-one-star-restaurant-review-yelp-9176531" target="_blank">The review read</a>:</strong></p><blockquote><em>"I'm giving 1 star because of the cheap management and customer service. I heard the food was very good so I went to try. Me and the BF got the calamari, spaghetti alle vongole, and gnocchi. All were very delicious."</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"I was actually so impressed that when the manager came to ask us how everything tasted I told her it was some of the best Italian food I've had and I told her I'm going to post about it on Instagram where I have over 11 thousand followers and a lot of them are in the area. She seemed very happy about it."</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"I was wrong. I thought that she would be greatful [sic] for the free advertising but when the cheque came there was literally no discount at all. I thought at least one of the entries would be taken off but they didn't even take off the calamari or even the drinks!"</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"I won't got back here because of this. Which is a shame because the food was very good. The manager needs to understand how to treat customers."</em></blockquote><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
