i like yelp, mainly because it provides me with lists of dive bars in any city i visit, but also because it lets me see what idiots have to say about my favorite bars, casinos, and restaurants. (casino reviews are especially funny since people get pissed slot machines took their money and also the chicken tendies were not... tender)

anyways here's a review i found while searching for the name of a bar i used to go to in sf

quote:

THE MOST UNWELCOMING BAR!!!!

At just before 4 PM, which during December in SF is like sunset, several of my coworkers and I were having a fine time here enjoying our conversations and the drinks that we purchased. I also noticed that instead of sports being displayed on the tv's around the bar, typical for a divey place...there was CNN on multiple screens. Weird??? but Whatev who cares....

One of my colleagues had too much to drink so she laid down on the booth chairs. A few minutes later, she yakked in a shot glass which to me is quite an achievement. She did not vomit on the chair, nor the floor, not even herself! She was able to contain everything to the shot glass.

One of the bartenders, a skinny bespeckled man with a crew cut on his gray head, began to scream at us. "Get her out of here!!! WE don't want that!"

Then, one of the people drinking at the bar began to yell, "You are a bunch of assholes! YOU dont F*CKING belong HERE!!! WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE WORK AT???"

Flabbergasted that my place of employment was relevant to the situation, I calmly responded to the bar drinker, in a respectable and low tone, "Why does it even matter?"


He answered, "Because people like YOU are AS*HOLES!!! You f*CKING A*SHOLES NEED TO GET THE F*CK OUT OF HERE. F*CK YOU!!!"

I felt this comment was COMPLETELY out of line, considering the fact that everyone was being very respectful, our coworker was not making a mess, being TOTALLY considerate by vomiting in a container, and we had every intention to leave.

On top of the RUDENESS of the bar drinker, the BARTENDER DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!! He found the BASELESS and COMPLETELY OFFENSIVE comment by his client totally ACCEPTABLE!!!!

I am Bay Area born and bred, and growing up here I have had the privilege of being raised in the most diverse and accepting places in the entire country.

However, being BERATED and BELITTLED for simply trying to shake off a little too much liquor IN THE AFTERNOON is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

Everyone has seen the signs that businesses put up to protect their establishments: "We reserve the right to refuse service to ANYONE."

And for a bar, I totally understand they are trying to protect their business from unsavory drunkards who at last call just after 2AM ruin their property and reputation by being sloppy and vomit all over the place. There's also a RESPECTFUL yet FIRM way to inform people to remove people who have had too much to drink.

A petite asian girl surrounded by her colleagues who passed out in the AFTERNOON and even had the state of mind to put all her throwup cleanly in a glass shouldn't be the target for SCREAMING, , HATE, OBSCENITIES and ALL the frustrations the employees and clientele are experiencing with the trump presidency, gentrification, ISIS and whatever the hell they're getting their panties in a bunch for!!!

I MEAN FOR GODSSAKE WHAT KIND OF BAR PUTS CNN ON THE TV ANYWAY?!?!?!?!

Their RUDE and UPSETTING treatment of PAYING customers is an example of how INSULAR the city is becoming and how these DINGY, DISRESPECTFUL, and UNSAVORY places will soon LANGUISH.

You can rest assured I will NEVER AGAIN support this "business."

EVER !!!!!

Don't look at the sun, but rather what it illuminates
College Slice
The local lil cee-cees

Whilst a teardrop forms in the eyes of mine offspring I regret to inform all of you that our bastion of "pizza pizza" has shuttered it's doors and no longer serves it's faithful followers. 
It all started off like a dream, full of piping hot pepperoni gloriousness, dutifully awaiting my unplanned arrival... Whisps of angelic steam rising from a freshly prepared oval of heavenly cheese product and canned tomato paste, beckoning me to enjoy a slice en route to my cabin in the wilds of the Meramec delta...garlicy butter-laden strips of Crazy Bread with punctate parmesan cheese crumbles falling like autumn leaves. 
Alas, like any dream, reality quickly set in and the dream turned into a cacophony of miscues and incredibly poor customer service which pulled fair Caesar into the depths of a nightmare that all of the glory of Rome could not rescue. 
Perhaps it was my fault for bothering the neck-tatted, ankle-monitoring device wearing Millenial counter help, feverishly chatting up a cohort on his iPhone, thinking I was worthy of a fresh pizza. The world may never know. My complaints to management were never answered, my pizza was never ready even when called in ahead of time (even better, after preordering and still waiting 20 mins for a birthday request from my child, I retuned home to find they gave us 2/3 wrong pizzas. My fault for trusting the lone worker I guess). 
I bow my head and resign myself to having to order from Pizza Hut or Dominos from now on. My children will cry themselves to sleep knowing their favorite "pizza" like product is now a fading memory...yet another Eureka business closed down, perhaps it's for the best. 
Rome certainly wasn't built in a day, they must have hired the counter staff from Little Caesars to do the construction. 
Et tu Eureka?

I once saw an Italian restaurant with glowing reviews and a single one star entry. The problem the customer had is that when they ordered something with white sauce it ended up not being alfredo, the only white colored sauce in Italy apparently.

Those reviews are the best, especially when they try to act like they are experts and imitate the whole huffy incredulous thing they see every other reviewer do

i like that the auto place posted the video, superb self own

let's take a look at what people had to say about the bellagio


a godly man just wants his snacks

quote:

The Maid stole my chips which I left on my wayroom desk. Astonishing,shocked me! God will punish him or her!

a special birthday boy learns that early checkin can't happen until the room is cleaned:

quote:

Worst experience of my life! I checked in at the "VIP" desk where the girl didn't even properly greet us or smile. She then proceeded to tell me I had to wait 2 hours until my suite would be ready because they were cleaning. I told her I had several set appointments and she said too bad it's not guaranteed and that's how long it takes to clean. My mom had to go speak with someone else who swiftly found us another room on another floor.
Unfortunately the room i got put into, was next to a racist old man. He saw us speaking Spanish in the hallway and slammed the door on our face. He was complaining about the "Loud" Frank Senatra music even though it was very calm and conservative adult gathering in my huge parlor suite that was able to accommodate 40 people and it was only 15 of us.

We got threatened 3 times by more racists rude security guards "our Spanish talk was loud & disturbing", even though it was only 9:30 pm on a Friday night. After I spoke with the manager he assured me he would be equal and thoroughly asses if the noise complaint was valid. To avoid issues I turned off the music and still... I got a knock by 4 burly security guards and got asked to vacate. Aside from the fact that I was paying over 1k a night, there was NO customer service provided for me and all the service was given to the neighbor who's connected room had a door to our suite, so he obviously was going to be distracted by any type of sound.

I planned this night for over a year & thanks to the racist neighbor and a manager who just didn't care to find a better solution, my 30th Birthday was ruined!

I am a Vegas local who works in the industry and I will be sure to tell everyone to NEVER visit here. I have never felt so discriminated in my life and treated so poorly.

and to top it off... they're not vape friendly

quote:

By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. I was at the bank and there security stole my vape pen. And they banned me from all MGM properties, well whatever I'll stay some where else and by the way keep the delta 9 pen losers!

Absolutely the best reviews on yelp are for gay bars. If you want to be entertained, read them.

This Google review for a local “men’s sauna” never fails to make me laugh.

yelp review of the paris catacombs

written using a predictive text interface

source: yelp reviews of the catacombs

transcript:

i have visited the graves of the tour groups who died from being embarrassed to be underground.

the line was literally hundreds of thousands of people stacked up and organized by bloodsucking vampires. i took a small walk down the crazy stairway to the bottom of the city.

it was raining heavily in the tunnels. so many ghosts every time i go down there which is certainly not a problem but i personally wanted to punt them up to the surface.

don’t get sunburned in the catacombs where the bones are creepy and the ceilings are allowed to touch you.

i got an audio headset for €5 but it said only a fraction of what i thought it would say. it said that the city of lights was worth a visit. it said that i was lucky to be cool. not sure why it said “kids arrive in winter.”

it took 12 hours to read the history of bones. i heard that bones are real and are actually a good health hazard that you need in your face. i heard that the bones were from bone church.

i saw a long line of skulls femurs and bones across the street from the exit of the catacombs. these people died from taking pictures of people who died from taking photographs of the tour guide.

the history of the catacombs is so hard to recommend. i think about the catacombs in my head and it hurts so i don’t think about it for many years. not to be a jerkwad or even a dead believer but i think everyone in paris should indulge in a horror spiral.

upon exiting the catacombs i had fun with my son. we visited many other parisian vacay spots and shallow puddles and then suddenly there was no reason to be.

my son is so awesome and i recommend going to see this kind of person.
