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?

My perfect customer.

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!

Edit: uh, I misread the question. I thought it asked what review would someone leave of ME. I am the salsa lover.

By the way, Yelp is one of the oldest such solutions on the market - it was launched almost twenty years ago, in October 2004. 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?

Clearly smokes hella w**d, comes in high and orders food and is always just so polite, like as polite as a customer can get. Sits on a chair and waits for his order and has this stupid smile on his face staring at nothing like 3 time a week.
I don’t know you but I love you bro.
Edit: I should mention, I’m a stoner myself, so I love the guy extra.

"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.

Edited to add: This is the second time he’s done it.
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! That would be really interesting to read, I do believe.

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?
1 star, would not recommend.

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.
