Rooz Cafe owner Steve Ranjbin used to speak up about his No Yelpers stance, you know, a few years back, but now he’s afraid, horribly afraid, of speaking up about the Yelp.
To speak is a sin, baby. See?
“When I contacted one restaurant owner about his stance against the site — a Bay Area cafe that posted a “No Yelpers” sticker — he said: “I’ve learned not to talk. When I do, I get horrible reviews.” (He asked that I not mention his restaurant by name.)”
That’s the power of Yelp.
Now, meet typical Yelp Elite Squad members Tricia and Johanna. Ouch:
But Power Yelper Michael Gebert rises to the defense in this official Yelp retort.
On It Goes…
