'This store needs serious help': Entitled shoppers leave bad reviews for stores for petty reasons

Writing a bad review for a restaurant won't help much unless you just want to vent. If you want the whole world to know that you had a bad experience, you're certainly entitled to do that. In a world where many establishments specifically ask customers to review their business, it's never been easier to lodge a complaint. However, as u/Fatastic_Captain highlighted in their post to an anti-Karen subreddit, a lot of shoppers are foiled by their own mistakes. For example, one person left a one-sta…

'Arguing with customers online always leaves a bad taste': Customer writes snarky BBQ review after owner insists they write one

'Arguing with customers online always leaves a bad taste': Customer writes snarky BBQ review after owner insists they write one

A lot of diners only leave reviews for restaurants when things go wrong. Unless you're an avid foodie who documents their day-to-day eating via review writing, you probably only leave reviews when a place has wronged you. Maybe you leave one star for the Italian restaurant that served you microwaved noodles, or leave a warning for the next person to order from the coffee shop that gave you spoiled milk in your beverage. There are lots of times people have exceptional meals, but don't think to l…

'Spent $112.38 tonight for fish that wasn't done': Funny one-star reviews from Karen customers

It takes a certain kind of person to be a difficult customer at a restaurant; it takes another kind of person to go out of their way to write a completely off-base one-star review. These three reviews may all be referring to different kinds of restaurants: a taco place, a dog-friendly café, and a fancy restaurant. However, they also have a few characteristics in common: 1) they are poorly written, with grammatical errors all over the place; 2) it is clear from the get-go that the writers of the…

'I got a half-hearted "I was joking" apology': Engineer quits and then roasts the company with a bad review after getting ‘fake fired' as a joke

Not to be dramatic or anything, but getting fired is a rather traumatizing experience. If it's unwarranted and unexpected, being pink-slipped can make any good worker question their work efficacy, their skills, and it might even make them question their entire life. However, for some employees, the workplace isn't a drama, it's a sitcom– one where the joke is always on you.

'I destroyed my former employer's credibility': Toxic CEO gets fired over abysmal company ratings after a disgruntled employee sandbags reviews on a job recruitment site

It's hard to dislodge CEO's from their position of power. With their ‘friends in high places’ guarding the gates to their job titles, CEOs are almost untouchable. Even with poor job performance, terrible leadership, and a downright inability to do their duties, the only way to really reveal a toxic CEO's incompetence is through the eyes of the shareholders.

'Why am I not surprised you wrote this?': Karen's undeserved 1-star review gets picked apart by the restaurant's owner

Dealing with entitled customers is one of the most challenging parts of customer service jobs, especially when those entitled customers continue to come back despite insisting they're not going to. Handling their behavior just isn't worth it, no matter how much money they spend. That's why we love to see when a business owner stands up for themselves and sets the record straight—responding matter-of-factly to an unjust 1-star review from an entitled customer.

'Replaced them with shredded kale': Karen leaves 2-star review for "nasty" carrot cake recipe after replacing carrot with kale

You've probably heard about the “Ship of Theseus,” a paradoxical thought experiment that challenges you to question whether or not an object that has had all of its parts replaced is actually the same object anymore. Another variant of this is the "grandfather’s axe," which seeks to challenge whether or not an axe that has had its handle replaced and then later its head is really the same axe as it was before. Although not really quite the same philosophical question, I can't help but wonder… I…

'Bolt in my food': Top 15 one-star reviews from irate customers and Karens

Some of these customers were justified, some were Karens, and some were simply not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Regardless of the varied experiences of these customers, thankfully, we are in the privileged position to be able to entertain ourselves with their ridiculous one-star reviews from a distance. I would certainly not want to be in their positions. For instance, the thought of ordering fajitas and then having them delivered only to discover a literal bolt in my food is beyond me. H…

‘You can’t deny my applications now': Insurance company dodges client's attempts at applying for financial assistance due to costly medical tests; client cleverly finds ways to resubmit application

Insurance companies like to convince us how much we ‘need them', promising us a path to the land of milk and honey. The time comes to reap some of those benefits they assured were ours, and then voila, they ghost us, lie to us, or tell us that we are not entitled to said benefits. Sigh, tsk, tsk, cough. Why must we always fight tooth and nail for what is rightfully ours? What are we even paying them for if they end up being no help? One person took to Reddit, r/maliciouscompliance, explaining h…

'[He] left a 1 star review': Movie-goer insists on buying tickets to action movie at a closed down theater

Since the invention of the online star rating system, people have been leaving one star reviews for companies they had poor experiences at. But as you certainly know if you ever peruse these reviews, a lot of people have a bad time due to self-inflicted mishaps. Some actually have the gall to get upset that a store is closed at a time the customer wants to shop. Others rant about being treated badly by staff members, or receiving cold food at a restaurant. There are plenty of reasons you might…

'I gave them a 1-star review': Local bar owner claps back at customer's 1-star review, customer gets even

1-star reviews tend to shed light on the entitled and overly demanding customers of this world, but every so often, there's a justified one. Here, we have a customer who went out for drinks with his wife in Lisbon for a rare occasion considering how expensive nightlife can be in their city. Let's just say that they did not get the drinks they ordered. His wife ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and received a Coke; the Redditor ordered a Moscow Mule and received a spiked Ginger Ale. Close, but no c…

Even the best laid plans can be stymied, as this person found out when they tried to throw a nice birthday party . This person did everything right when it comes to planning ahead for a party. As u/Diylion writes, they were throwing their in-laws a double birthday with ten people total. It's a common occurrence for large parties to book out restaurants, and this OP made sure they'd have space for the party several months in advance. Unfortunately for OP, this restaurant is seemingly having issu…
