Bad Business of the Day: A woman who penned an unflattering Yelp review of the Atlanta-based BBQ joint Boners received her own negative evaluation on the establishment’s Facebook page.
A message posted above the female patron’s photo claims she left her server no tip on a $40 meal, and invites other customers to harass her with expletives.
The woman in question told The Huffington Post that, conterary to Boners’ claim, she did tip — almost $10. “I did leave a tip and my review was not scathing by any means,” she said. “The response from Boners BBQ has just been astonishing to me, especially since it came from the owner of the business.”
The restaurant eventually realized that attacking customers on Facebook for bad reviews doesn’t really help their image.
“Trying to stir up the pot, we lost out lid and spilled the beans,” Boners wrote in a follow-up post. “Would like to apologize for any inappropriateness on our part.”
Unfortunately for Boners, the six new single-star reviews that have popped up on Yelp since the brouhaha began suggest they’re not quite done apologizing.
