36 Humorous YELP-Like Reviews And Ratings Given By Customer Service Workers To Their Clients
How convenient is it to find a good cafe, restaurant or shop nowadays - after all, there are many great online services and apps for searching for any business in the area, where you can simultaneously see the ratings by customers and read the reviews.
Of course, no service is immune to poor reviews, written under the influence of an impulse from an unsuccessful evening - but in general, the system itself works fine. Yelp, Foursquare (remember that service?), numerous reviews on Google Maps... But listen, have you ever wondered what would happen if businesses also rated us customers?

Her kids dropped the popcorn so she asked me for a broom to let them clean it up themselves. I said it wasn't necessary but she insisted that she wanted to raise them to be conscious of the fact that when they make a mess someone has to clean it up. Nice lady. 5/5.

I was visiting a friend many years ago and they had a baby/toddler(?). The baby was only a few months old, so obviously not aware of making a mess. The parents were cleaning the floor around the baby and the restaurant employees were insisting that they would clean it up. Best standoff between customers and employees I ever saw.

Came in. Ordered. Ate their food in silence. Left minimal mess and a reasonable tip. Then buggered off.
My perfect customer.

If all restaurants and their customers remained this contained I may actually think about going out again but people are cray cray lol.

For many years I used to travel a lot for work. During that time I basically lived off of restaurant food, as I lived in hotel rooms without kitchens; at best I had a kitchenette. I have had my share of going out to eat, now I prefer to eat at home. My kids make their mess there, and I clean it up. No fuss, no worries, no feeling rushed or waiting forever for a waiter. I enjoy cooking, although I have a limited repertoire of things my children will actually eat, I'm actually pretty good at it. Every once in a while I'll do take out.

Nice, pleasant man. Always orders the same sandwich every time, making preparing for him simple despite the complicated sandwich. Tips well, never talks longer it takes to complete his order. Also, the only male regular over 50 that doesn't leer at my *underage* coworker. 5 stars.

I think most "over 50" guys want bugger all to do with "underage" girls.
There is a viral thread in the AskReddit community, the author of which once wrote: "Imagine having a reverse Yelp where we rate customers on their attitudes, manners, and how well they tip. What review would you leave?" And now, as of today, the thread has almost 88K upvotes and nearly 6.6K various comments made up by witty participants.
Some of the reviews there seem like a blatant parody, but most of them reflect the business owners' and employees' experiences, so please enjoy the selection of the best ones carefully made for you by Bored Panda!

Worked in a grocery store years ago..... "Kid keeps running up and down the isle. Turns a corner and smacks right into a corn syrup end cap. What a total mess. Kid is covered in syrup. Mom comes up to me and demands I find clothes for her child to wear. Without skipping a beat, I asked her if she wanted paper or plastic. Would not recommend that mom shopping there again.".

I would have recommended that she have her baby daddy wear a plastic since she's clearly unfit to be a decent mother.

Gah! She practically drinks all the salsa and I keep having to give her refills. Her chip-to-salsa ratio is seriously questionable. Otherwise, she's nice enough.
Edit: uh, I misread the question. I thought it asked what review would someone leave of ME. I am the salsa lover.

She lied about her hair history, wanted white blonde in one session on her "virgin" dark hair that the strand test determined was a lie. Said she could do it herself at home, turned hair orange instead. Came back to get a color correction and after explaining why she couldn't have blonde she said she'd settle for anything but orange and lighter than the dark. Gets a beautiful chocolate/caramel color and cries because it's not blonde and too expensive, and also leaves no tip. -5 stars, not worth my time.

Not a comment really, I don't understand most of this, but it sounds like the customer believed they knew more than the stylist. And then they complained about the work the stylist did when correcting the error the customer made on themselves, even though they approved it before-hand. Please correct me if I got that wrong

At that time, it was a solution exclusively for the San Francisco service market, but the idea skyrocketed, and in a couple of years Yelp was available in the entire American market.
Moreover, over the last decade, Yelp has expanded to 111 countries, and today it is a large international corporation with almost five thousand employees. I wonder if they leave their reviews too?

“She walked into the store and complained that outside “smelled of gasoline.” I told her we would address that issue as soon as an employee became available to do so.

"A middle aged lady insulted the staff, yelled "Valentines day is meant to be about ME!" when she was served a fish 0.000001mm smaller than her husband's in length. Refused to pay for said fish after eating the whole thing. Asked for a finger bowl to clean her fingers, threw a tantrum when she saw there was no lemon with the bowl, I went and personally cut her up some lemon for the finger bowl, when I gave it to her she told me my attitude was disgusting because I smiled too much. Made me sweep away a puddle for her so she didn't get her shoes wet... She could have easily walked around the puddle but no, she insisted "it's Valentine's day! I don't have to walk around the puddle, today is about ME!" 0/10 didn't leave a tip and I hope she never breeds".

When I worked at Sam's Club ( in the U.S.), I had a perfectly nice elderly woman come through the exit line ( we are required to scan 3 items at the exit door to verify purchases) making normal day to day conversation with me. All of a sudden, her face got very serious and she said " judgement day is coming dear, and he has his eyes on you" to me. I will never forget the wide- eyed look on my co-workers face when she said that to me!.
"The idea is actually not new - after all, in small, local markets, where everyone knows everyone, this is practiced between business owners and employees," says Vlad Ostrometsky, the administrator of UNIT Cafe in Odessa, Ukraine, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment here. "For example, I know most of the employees and owners of cafes and restaurants in my area, and sometimes we share stories from our experiences - without any specifying, of course."
"Yes, the situation sometimes doesn't look very fair in relation to service workers - after all, there can often be some entitled customer who writes negative reviews simply because of a bad mood - and we can’t actually do anything to them. Remember how in the 'Ratatouille' cartoon the chef was literally devastated because of the opinion of the restaurant critic?"
"On the other hand, this is the service industry and its specifics - and, in any case, if the client's behavior is completely outrageous - for example, they make a scandal or fight, then the police will get involved... Although, of course, it would be interesting to see such an application - just out of fun..." Vlad summarizes with a smile.

This is my life working front desk at a hotel. I can't tell you how many times I have had to explain that there is a difference between providing a service and being a servant. We are in no way luxury, but people come in and expect me (who's working alone) to carry their bags, turn down their beds, go to the store for wine, decorate before hand, and so much more. Was recently screamed at because our hotel rooms are... 1 room (and a bathroom). Demanding a suite with a living room, a bedroom and a foyer? They paid 90 dollars. Also, no bell, we have a desk phone that they press "0" on and it calls the phone I carry. We have a sign when we step away, that says we will back in a moment. Do they wait even 5 seconds? No. And too often people don't use the call option and they just yell (sometimes into the bathroom door). "HELLOOoo! I'm HEREE! I WANT TO CHECK IIIN!!! Is ANYOME HERE!?" Bro, it's been less than a minute-did you know we are human and humans have to pee sometimes? Wait 2 minutes!

Well, we'll not detain you any longer in reading these reviews - especially since among them there are real masterpieces of humor and sarcasm. So now feel free to scroll this selection to the end - and who knows, maybe leave your own 'review' of any 'made-up' customer, based on your own experience!

Guy comes in in the middle of the festival, no reservation, by car, and blames ME because it took him 2 hours to go the entrance of the city to my hotel because there are 200 000 people walking around the streets, and police barages to help the flow of pedestrians.
Then he blames ME again because he did all of this for nothing because we're full. What did he think would happen, walking-in with no reservation during the city's largest festival?

Again, working the front desk at a hotel, I swear we all have the same stories. I can't count how many times people have come in during huge events and expected a room last minute. Then when you tell them it isn't possible, they freak out. The worst is when they yell at me as though I've made them homeless. "What do you expect me to do!? Sleep outside!? I don't have anywhere to go! I NeEd YoU tO fIx ThIs!" Or "it's ok, I'll take whatever, how about a suite or even a small room?" It's like, "sir, it's a (insert college football game of major school in my area) and the rooms went for 3 times the price a month ago." Like they expect that rooms are infinite. I don't get it, even before I worked at a hotel I knew they SOMETIMES FILL UP. How do grown adults not understand basic physics, lol. This isn't Harry Potter where the inside is bigger than the outside. The more entitled people are the more i want to throw them off the roof.

Family came into the restaurant today and order a good amount of sushi rolls and some chicken hibachis. There was no problem with their payment or their demeanor at first, but be careful. Looks can be deceiving.
As soon as we provided their kids with forks, they started flinging rice at each other. Parents didn't even bat an eye, like this was a normal thing, so I'm sure they have done this at other places too. They left the area around them looking like the kids were playing Splatoon and trying to cover as much surface area as they could with rice.
Didn't leave a tip for the mess I was left to clean up and didn't even give an apology. Would not recommend serving this family while their inklings are around.

Kelsey brought her entire "tribe" to get tattooed. All 10 of them are turning 18 but only Kelsey is getting a tattoo. She refused to listen to my advice on the size and kept insisting I make it smaller and smaller, specifying she would like it "just a medium size, but really dainty and cute". When it came time to do the tattoo, she wasn't wearing the right clothing even though she'd thought about her horoscope sign for weeks. Her friends convinced her to move it several times before we discovered the initial placement I made was the right one. When it came time to pay, she tried to haggle my price by telling me she had a cousin that got his own "gun", and that he would do it for a third of my price. After all that, even though I did it perfectly, she had no concept of tipping. 0 stars.

I've talked about this idea many times. It would be so magical.
I greeted the table and they didn't even look at me, they just said "water". So I get their waters and their food order which was difficult because they asked a million questions that could have been answered by reading the menu, that's what its there for. Then when I'm trying to deliver the food no one was paying attention and they couldn't remember what they even ordered. They were just overall kind of rude and annoying but they left 18% so that's better than what I thought they were going to leave. 3/5 stars, can't really recommend.

They're business travellers - peopled out, but stuck eating in a restaurant. They just want to eat without making small talk with the waiter who is only pretending to be personable to get a tip.

Grandmother, daughter and baby come to eat lunch. We were a tiny operation (3 of us on a good day, 4 if we were lucky, 2 half the time). But we were famous for what we did and was never short of business during tourist season. Gramma holding baby when I bring their French onion soup over. I place the plate well out of reach of the baby. I tell Gma, "this soup is hot, like crazy hot, Give it 10 minutes at least (they had other food), If this spills on the baby right now it will burn them". "OK". I hover and watch for a second to make sure the baby can't grab it. "It's fine, I got it" she barks at me. OK cool, I got other things to do anyway. I take 5 steps around thelat corner and wouldn't ya know...baby is screaming, Granma is raging,mom is panicking.

when i worked at target in my young 20's, i was in the shoe dept and a lady comes by with some girl's faux leather white running shoes. and she's stroking the shoe, like petting it, and asking if it's "caaaanvaaas" she drew out the word canvas like it was something foreign and exotic. so i take her to the canvas shoes, which are identical to what she's holding except the material, find the size she needs, and i try to get her to take them. but she's still petting the other shoe and asks me like 5 times if i'm sure that one isn't "caaanvaaas". no mam, that is like a fake leather, these are canvas. this is what your daughter needs. she left looking heartbroken. 1/5 for brains but 4/5 for a weird experience. we also had a couple come in and try to have sex in the lingerie section. there was an older guy who would come in Sunday mornings and sniff the ladies panties on the racks. ???? those haven't been worn, sir, not sure what you're trying to huff. retail is wild.

Grandmother, daughter and baby come to eat lunch. We were a tiny operation (3 of us on a good day, 4 if we were lucky, 2 half the time). But we were famous for what we did and was never short of business during tourist season. Gramma holding baby when I bring their French onion soup over. I place the plate well out of reach of the baby. I tell Gma, "this soup is hot, like crazy hot, Give it 10 minutes at least (they had other food), If this spills on the baby right now it will burn them". "OK". I hover and watch for a second to make sure the baby can't grab it. "It's fine, I got it" she barks at me. OK cool, I got other things to do anyway. I take 5 steps around thelat corner and wouldn't ya know...baby is screaming, Granma is raging,mom is panicking. I escort her to the back so we can get cold water going for her and this woman...has the balls...to bi tch at me because our back sink was full of dishes I had to clear out of there before we could use it. 1/5 stars cuz no litigation.

when i worked at target in my young 20's, i was in the shoe dept and a lady comes by with some girl's faux leather white running shoes. and she's stroking the shoe, like petting it, and asking if it's "caaaanvaaas" she drew out the word canvas like it was something foreign and exotic. so i take her to the canvas shoes, which are identical to what she's holding except the material, find the size she needs, and i try to get her to take them. but she's still petting the other shoe and asks me like 5 times if i'm sure that one isn't "caaanvaaas". no mam, that is like a fake leather, these are canvas. this is what your daughter needs. she left looking heartbroken. 1/5 for brains but 4/5 for a weird experience. we also had a couple come in and try to have sex in the lingerie section. there was an older guy who would come in Sunday mornings and sniff the ladies panties on the racks. ???? those haven't been worn, sir, not sure what you're trying to huff. retail is wild.

Clearly wealthy middle-aged lady comes in to ask if stickered price is actual price on mylar balloon because she thinks it's too high, she deliberately mishears to be $8USD lower when I verify it and agrees to the purchase, gets mad when screen shows same price on the sticker and "Balloons have always been cheap! This is ridiculous! I would have gotten the 99¢ latex balloons IF SOMEONE WAS AT THE FLORAL" her way through the order and rips the receipt out of my hand. We haven't had that cheap of balloons in years. I know because I put up the prices in this big store and watched it increase over the time. -2/10 Lady is small-scale time traveler who's bad at interacting with staff due to wealth.

Got into a full blown fist fight with a customer because we didn't have a public bathroom. Another customer threatened to shoot me because we were out of stock on a certain item. Watched a woman let her kid p**s all over the floor through CCTV didn't even buy anything. Had a man pull cash out of his sock to pay me, he had open sores all over his legs. Too many people to count have tried to lie, steal and scam me and my co-workers over a couple of dollars and then hurl insults and slurs at us for calling them out. If there is a hell, its probably just working customer service for all of eternity.
