If you've ever worked retail or any customer-facing job, you will have met a customer who was disrespectful, entitled, treated you like an object and made some demand that store policy doesn't actually honor. With their sticky-fingered kids, boorish husbands and shrill battle cry of "the customer is always right" a Karen is a customer service person's personal nightmare. That's why we take extra joy in stories of entitled Karens who park in disabled spots and get tricked by parody customer service accounts. Oh and also when they demand their children get to taste painful hot sauce. There's a lot of fun times to be had.

Amazing. We have no idea what's going through the head of someone who gets upset at a company for not having emergency fridge repair during a category 5 hurricane, but we'd love to find out. The threat of Hurricane Dorian brought out more noble feelings in people, like this woman who took in 97 stray dogs to keep them safe from the storm.
Sometimes people come into a store ready to start swinging. When this customer called this business a scam, the owner chose to respond with some convincing aspects of the whole story that were left out of the original review. Business owners tend to put a staggering amount of time and energy into responding to negative reviews, like this person who left a one star review and was met with justified condemnation.
This reviewer had the nerve to call a suitable response to their insulting offer "unprofessional" and inadvertently went in for round two. The world is full of frustrating cheapskates, but when someone leaves a ridiculous review like this they leave themselves open for an utter takedown of their entire character.
As a Yelp business owner sometimes the best way for you to deal with a lying and testy customer is to treat them with the facts. You can't argue with the facts, and you ultimately come out of the situation looking like a boss, while the customer looks like a mindless idiot.
This vegan restaurant owner is their own worst enemy when it comes to trying to bring in new business. You're out here snapping at customers who are complaining about being uncomfortable trying to eat, while your kid is running around the establishment naked. Maybe not the best look for your restaurant -- in terms of having the kid run around, and the way you're going about handling the review.
Leave it to Ryan Reynolds to leave a glowing and miraculous review for his own gin company. It really manages to take readers on a journey. You feel like you're right there with him. This is yet another example of Ryan Reynolds dominating the social media space with his razor-sharp wit.
This motel handled a blatant BS-riddled review in glorious fashion, by bringing the actual backstory into the picture. We're not sure what compels these lying reviewers to try and stain the reputation of upstanding establishments, but we sure do love it when the owners call the liars out on their BS.
If you're going to take the time to leave a bad and FAKE review, you'd better be ready to deal with the full fury of the truth. This Irish restaurant owner was ready to give it to a choosing beggar and their fake review, with a brutal onslaught of well-warranted words. If you're in the mood for more of fake reviews getting called out, check out the recent time an Escape Room customer tried to lie and got cornered by the truth here.
