Customer Leaves Negative Yelp Review After ‘Finding’ Maggot In Food, Gets Destroyed By Restaurant Employee

False bad reviews are so annoying, especially for small businesses! My husband and I get them all the time for our business, but most of them are for a shop of the same name, 5-6 states away..and the other half are things like "I don't like the name of the shop" or "I don't like their business hours"....it is absolutely ridiculous! Google and Facebook do absolutely nothing for false reviews..and Yelp helps a little with taking them down. Its really bad for business. Luckily we haven't gotten anything serious and most people come in and laugh with us about the silly "bad reviews" we do have.

But, there are places out there that should not be open. Like the Asian restaurant that insisted it was serving my husband vegan meals only to find out they put chicken broth in the sauces. Or the restaurant that was a few doors down from where I worked that had moldy buns, rancid mayo and undercooked fish. (The health department was called on them several times, but it was pointless because the wife of the owner worked for the Health Department and could give him a heads up every time she saw a "surprise" inspection scheduled.) There are people out there that complain way too much. But you can usually tell which ones are lying by the details they leave..especially if it's a local place.

If a consumer is genuinely concerned about the sanitation and food quality of a restaurant, they won't just post a bad review - they'll contact the local health inspectors and file a legitimate complaint. I, as many, have had bad experiences as a consumer and have had to file a few complaints (seeing a mouse scurry across the floor towards the kitchen whilst eating dinner certainly raised an eyebrow). I also used to work in a Chuck E Cheese and the amount of times people would order pizza, eat, then come up not 30 minutes later to complain that the food gave them food poisoning was ridiculous. What did they want? MORE of the supposed poisonous food... Also, anyone complaining on Yelp but demanding free food from the place they've just given a bad review is pretty much a red flag as a scam.

Used to deliver pizza. Delivered to a house once that is way nicer than anything I'll ever afford. Got a bad tip and when I returned to the store I had to take another delivery to the same address, same food. I asked the owner WTF? He said the customer called in to complain about a hair on her pizza. Both our cooks were bald. Own said to do it anyways to avoid bad press.

Not to mention, if this was really a maggot in the food, how is it not covered in the sauce? Did it just drop on the plate as it was being carried out of the kitchen? Sure, that's technically possible, but... scammers are awful. Stop lying!
