35 Times Customers Tried To Destroy A Business’s Reputation With Shameless Lies But Were Exposed Right Away
On paper, online reviews are a great way to do your due diligence before laying down some hard-earned cash. Unfortunately, it does leave you at the mercy of random internet people, who can range from well-informed and helpful to enteral made up.
The ‘Quit Your BS’ internet group gathers all the times people have publicly lied and then gotten caught in the act. Most prominent are the posts about customers leaving reviews so fake that the business owners themselves had to debunk them. So be sure to upvote the most satisfying call-outs as you scroll and comment your own stories below.

Local Shop Owner Calling Out Fake Review
Almighty damn; this guy didn't hold back with the gasoline on that burn.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you build a house of cards on jelly
Of course we have to assume that the owner isn't lying. While it's a savage comeback, we have no way of knowing which one is lying.
Yeah or both could be true. Guy could be getting his customers sick by never washing his hands and the lady could be stealing cheesecake and performing sex work. Honestly, it all kind of checks out.
Load More Replies...That's not a very professional response from the owner. They def should have called her out if all that's true, but it would be more satisfying if they'd done it in a mature way with correct grammar, capitalization, and less personal attacks (who cares if she looks 30 years older than she is? Irrelevant to her review).
One Star Review For A Wedding Officiant
Now I'm curious as to how difficult it would be to find a nudist wedding officiant.
Not impossible, anyway. A couple did it when I was in college. (Yes, it was the 60s..) I wasn't a guest, but I saw the wedding photographs.

Or he just simply mistook this business for another business with a very similar name.
Load More Replies...In our newly social media society, it’s crazy how anyone can just go on and tell lies about you, in any scenario
The unfortunate truth is that the internet allows for pure anonymity, so it’s not hard to lash out vindictively against a business that you think slighted you in some way or maybe just mess with someone’s day. A more sinister phenomenon, depending on how you look at it, is the rise in bought, fake reviews. Amazon is the prime location for these sorts of operations, where anyone can unleash an army of bots or poorly paid users to give their products rave reviews. Even worse, a nefarious business owner can, instead, use these services to give competitors bad reviews.
The result of all this manipulation is that many customers simply don’t know whether they can trust a review or not. This basically has the effect of removing any and all trust in general. This has become such an issue that certain regulatory bodies are actually looking into ways to hold companies accountable. The UK Competition and Markets Authority is investigating Amazon and Google for not doing enough to combat fake reviews.

A Review About A Trampoline Park
She could be referring to other children’s parental supervision.
I know people who take better care of their pets than people do children apparently. Pretty sure our cats got better health care than some people's kids. When we did smoke we wouldn't smoke inside because I didn't think it was fair to our cats. Some guests were annoyed by this. Non smoking friends appreciated it. I'm just waiting for the day I can call the cops on people smoking in cars with children. My dad smoked in the car with me. I hated it and the way it made me smell. But I got addicted to nicotine because of it and started smoking at 16.
Load More Replies...My son’s first job was at one of these places, next door is a pizzeria that also serves alcohol, he told me you would not be surprised how these parents would literally drop the kids off there and go next door to drink, some would even come in there intoxicated , thinking it’s another form of daycare
In the 90's I worked at a restaurant that was adjacent to Chuck e Cheese. Luckily I mainly worked evenings, we didn't open until late afternoon and were closed Sundays. Staff from another restaurant in the same strip that served alcohol always talked about the people that drank while their kids were playing and the workers who came looking for the parents!
Load More Replies...perhaps if idiots like the reviewer didn't expect staff to act as parental supervision, then staff would not be limited? e_e
Nah her review sounds accurate for those places. Definitely a lack of other parents supervising. We went to a party at a local place and this parent let their barely walking 15 month old out to the middle of the communal jump area, kid got flug up in the air. Where were the parents? Off to the side on their phones.
Local Barber Shop Calls Out Fake Review
"...if you stay in the car." LMAO! I guarantee many people have wanted to say this to my mom. Maybe even last week.
How is it that sometimes- granted, rarely - a child of obnoxiously rude parents comes out sweet and mannered? Is it innate?
Or beaten down. Obnoxiously rude and controlling parents are often that way to their children. In which case the child spends a lot of time trying to placate them.
Load More Replies...As a consumer, if you plan to put down serious money for a product, you would want to at least read through a handful of user reviews beforehand. But now that you know that so many are faked, what can you do to be sure? While it's impossible to know one hundred percent, there are a few telltale signs to look out for. You can use services like Fakespot or Reviewmeta to analyze if something is real or not. There are also browser extensions like Camelizer that can rate the reliability of a text.
Owner Calls Out Customer Over Poor Review
Fake Review Before The Restaurant Even Opens
"I found a hair and a fingernail in my food, please make me another one for free!" This happened at a place I worked. Yes, there was a hair in the sandwich that was obviously from a worker. But the 12 year old boy finished the entire foot long, demanded another and they wanted all their food and drinks comped. Nope. You get the 2 sandwiches free, GTFO and don't come back. Had they not been so eager to eat the food with the hair, complained we didn't have French fries and been generally rude people I would have comped everything and offered a gift certificate.
I kinda admire the creativity tho, these folks could write best sellers
what the hell do people get out of leaving reviews like this? o.O
My guess is that they are attempting to get free food on their "next" visit, but that's just a guess as I've never done this.

I pulled the hair out & continued eating. The place used eggrolls made & packaged elsewhere. Not their fault.
This Review Of My University
Gotta love people that are so much smarter than everyone else, that they know 5G is "bad", but don't even know what the antennas look like. 🤣
Reminds me of a story I heard that supposedly took place 20-ish years ago (no idea if it's true, but nowadays it really could be) - Telekom Germany built a new cellphone mast in a village somewhere in Germany, and people immediately complained about headaches, nausea etc. and blamed it all on the cellphone antennae. Telekom responded "How bad will it be once we turn this thing on?"

How thick does someone have to be to think they know about the "danger" of 5G, but they can't even recognize what solar panels look like?

Another MAGA dropout! Thinks that solar panels will use up all of the sun and we'll all freeze to death! LOL!
Generally, just reading through the review can give you some good indicators. Vague descriptions, a multitude of grammatical errors, and generally short texts all point towards a review being created by a bot or a service provider. Reviews with images of the product are more likely to be real, and you can reverse image search the picture to see if it’s just been taken from elsewhere.
1 - Star Review Fail
Jesus…a $20,000 order?! That could unquestionably lead to a small business shuttering! I think the company should have asked for a percentage down though, before processing the order. It looks like they have learned from this “person” and their response was respectful, I think.
I owned a music electronics equipment repair shop. I had one crazy person bring in a 30 year old keyboard which I warned her there were no parts available. I also had a sign at the front cautioning customers that working on vintage electronics is unpredictable as old parts can crumble, break, and fail just by handling them for inspection. Then after the unit ended up not repairable with parts no longer available, I did not even charge her the basic bench charge for my diagnostic labor. She had a fit and demanded that I am responsible for replacing her keyboard. The final straw was that she demanded a receipt. I did not charge her anything! She called me back a month later demanding again that I replace her keyboard. She threatened a bad Google review. I told her my reply would explain to the world how crazy she is.
What puts companies out of business isn’t customers like her so much as it’s companies like this doing custom orders without a hefty down payment. I expect she taught them a valuable lesson, though I’m still left wondering how they’ve lasted as long as they have doing business this way.
Well, there you go! I do not go online to read customer reviews because I figure they are either all disgruntled, angry customers (telling, of course, only part of the story), or the company has people they know post positive reviews for them.

I worked in a clinic. The shift starts at 8AM. Workers come in, turn on their computers & settle in. At 8:05AM we got those yelling that they have been waiting for 4 hours & 5 minutes. How dare they had to wait so long. Staff just chuckle at them. They run off to cry to the patient advocate. So why did you come here at 4AM when you know the clinic opens at 8AM? I didn't come here at 4AM, that would be insane. I got here at 6:30.
Fake Review By A Competitor For A Bicycle Store

Load More Replies...This is why I am so skeptical when reading reviews on anything. We stayed at a hotel mid pandemic that had terrible reviews but it was affiliated with Hilton and in the perfect location so I took a chance. It was one of the cleanest hotels I've ever been in and the staff was amazing. Hotels.com messed up our booking and the hotel staff corrected it and only charged us half of what they could have to upgrade to what we needed and originally booked. I will never use a discount travel site again. I go straight through the hotel, airline, rental car etc. also buy travel insurance. We were lucky 80% of the time but that 20% of not working out was a big hassle and cost a lot.
That happened to me one time, a big time competitor left a scathing review of my product - a week before he actually purchased it. I got the review removed and I contacted him and told him off big time. He was shocked I knew who he was. How did he think I shipped things out? Telepathically? No, I need a name and address.
I wanna be imaginary staff #12358 so call me Fibonacci! And, I'm out on a food run for the rest of you.
Another suggestion is to explore reviews outside of Amazon. Professional reviews can be helpful, though they often don’t use the item long enough to determine if it's suitable for long-term use. Similarly, restaurant reviews can be difficult since tastes, literally, differ. If it's a more mundane item, might be hard to find an expert review, since, say, garden hoses and roof shingles might not have a dedicated community assessing them.

A Nail Salon Owner Responds To A 1 Star Review
I've worked in restaurants for years and I wish people would realize that not only is it inconsiderate, but it's dangerous to let your kid run around a restaurant. I will hurt your kid. That's not a threat. I have a solid 150lbs on your kid and I'm carrying heavy trays with hot food. If that falls on them they can get seriously hurt. So please tell your children not to do things like latch onto my leg like a tweeked out koala bear!
Not only are they obnoxious running through a restaurant I worked in a bar and the mom thought it was funny that her 5 year old kept coming behind the bar. Mom got mad when I admonished her saying it was a dangerous place to be and illegal by health codes and OSHA. Mom says "she's trying to be helpful." That professionally sharpened knife we use could also be really helpful if you don't control your brat...

Ewww! Omg I went to an ENT a few months ago and my husband pointed out what appeared to be blood on the floor in the exam behind the chair I was next to the trash can. No biggie, I tried to tell myself, things happen. The spot was still there 4 days later for my follow up. Guess where I'm not going back to? The ER set up the appt w/ him, I had a person I had seen before but with the pandemic it's hard to get appointments so I just went with it. Never again.. I also got a new GP and the place is immaculate!
Load More Replies...Seen lots of kids cop stray elbows or hip checks in restaurants and stores because they have no concept of space and safety. They just go running behind someone who turns to do something and BAM! Elbow to the face, kid on the floor screaming. The fun part is watching the parents reactions, since they range from righteous anger ("you hurt my baby!") to weary exasperation ("I told you to stop running round like an idiot or you'd hurt yourself").
The staff at the nail salon is not paid nannies. YOU are in charge of YOUR child; if he or she can't keep relatively still and quiet, he or she should not be there. That is a WORK PLACE, not a play-ground. Same goes for restaurants and similar places; YOU are in charge of YOUR children. If they can't behave in public, that's on YOU. (I omit children with autism, ADHD, and similar legitimate diagnoses here, of course. This is just about children who have never been taught regular maners by their parents, who expects others to do it for them.)
I've "accidently" tripped unsupervised brats in a restaurant. More than once. One feral monkey was making sand art with salt, which honestly didn't bother me, but when it was taken away from him he started having a screaming fit and started running all over. He tripped and his mother (who had been completely ignoring him, it was the waitress that took the salt away) started yelling at me for not watching out. As sweetly as I could I informed her that I generally don't have to "watch out" for children running in a restaurant and if she was actually acting like a parent and keeping an eye on him instead of staring at her phone, maybe her little demon seed wouldn't have tripped over my foot when he went running past my table. The waitress was ginning from ear to ear. And no the kid was not hurt.
You kind of have to figure that if the other customers are also "rude" that maybe the problem is really you, 😂.
The best bet would be to go to a store to try the item in person, but this only really works for a handful of options. Most restaurants don’t really let you sample random dishes for free, though you can at least enter the establishment to determine the vibe. Similarly, service providers like wedding planners and photographers might have impressive portfolios, but until they actually do their job, it can be difficult to keep track. The bottom line is that buyers really do have to be wary. Fortunately, at least some business owners do their part to ensure only fair and, more importantly, real reviews.
Left One Star Review On Super Bowl Sunday
They still should not expect to be served two minutes prior to closing time! At that point, line has already been shut down, the grills are cleaned, and the staff is just performing the final cleaning duties before going home. When I worked in a restaurant we would get into trouble if we weren’t clocked out 15 minutes after closing.
Right?! That's ridiculous, how does someone expect to be seated, order food, pay and have the staff be able to close up shop in 2 minutes! I'll never understand ppl that complain about stuff like this.
Load More Replies..."Smoked meat house" we have a small restaurant not far from us that smokes meats. Better get there before 1pm because that's when they stop cooking and what they have is what they have. If you wanted pulled pork but someone got there at 11am and ordered enough for 20 people you are out of luck. Same with a local taqueria. They are open until 10pm but if they run out of beef or steak at 7pm you just can't order it. Lo siento.
I think restaurants should have a policy that states the food you order must be able to be prepared before the closing time. So if someone walks in 5 minutes before closing, they can't order anything that takes more than 5 minutes to make. Also all orders made within a half hour to closing are to go. And I just have to say, just because they forget to lock the door doesn't mean you magically got some power to make them serve you. What are you, 5 years old? I had to unlock the front door to take out trash once because our back door lock was broken, and some guy went into the store and was refusing to leave until I rang him up. Meanwhile, the registers are closed, the lights are off... I mean, we close when it says we're closed. Sometimes we're finishing up with a customer that was at the register when the closing time came it doesn't mean you get to sneak in and keep us there longer.
Over here many retaurants state the time you can order specific food items on the menu, for example the lunch menu can be ordered between 12.00 and 15.00 and dinner plates between 15.00 and 21.00.
Load More Replies...If what you want to order can't be made before closing time, then you can't order that thing! Easy-peasy. I have sometimes rushed down to the restaurant at work, 10 minutes before closing to buy a pre-packed ice-cream. As I'm so late, I always tell them I'm sorry that I'm so close to closing. THAT is how you behave; you don't expect people to work overtime for you. Do you like to work overtime? Do you want to PAY overtime fee for what you are about to order? If not, then be on time, for gods sake!!!
I have no problems walking in two minutes before closing (sometimes you're not aware of the closing time) but I also have no problems with the place saying "Sorry we close in two minutes, the grill is turned off". I live in a no-tipping country, but if I walked in 2 minutes before closing and they *did* prepare a meal for me I'd be sure to tip because they've gone above and beyond.
And just exactly how long are you willing to stay after work with no notice?

I love that calling someone large is still the default insult for idiots who aren't smart enough to win an argument. I'm plus size, and any time I have any kind of confrontation with anyone, it never stays in the lane of what we're arguing about.

I don't know why but my husband's mom convinced him he had an egg allergy. I just didn't bring it up for ten years and finally told him all the foods he was eating with eggs.

Just remember: we never know who's telling the truth and who's lying. It's very easy for a customer with a grudge or ulterior motives to make up nonsense stories about a company, but it's equally easy for a business owner to make up nonsense stories about the customer. You never know whether the customer was right about the company really screwing up, and the "what actually happened was..." is just a fake story from the business owner to make other people think it was the customer's fault when it actually wasn't. We weren't there, so we can't know who's telling the truth.
