Yelp is probably just holding his positive reviews hostage until he pays up.

- secfirstmd 8y agoIs this a joke? Or is there something I missed?
- gumby 8y agoYelp has that reputation though I believe it to be false. Certainly they have put their finger on the pan for paid customers, but they have to be careful about it. IN BE's case (and that of several other restauranteurs I've spoken with) she is unhappy with the general behavior of "yelpers" (obviously the nice ones she'd never notice :-))...I won't go into that. If the restaurant is always full you don't need new customers. This restaurant doesn't have the room for it, but I've seen yelper gatherings at larger restaurants and asked the waitstaff and they never seem happy with it. I've used Yelp successfully when passing through an unfamiliar place (on the west coast of the US...less success elsewhere). It's a shame because the idea of Yelp/Tripadvisor/etc seems like it ought to be a useful one, but human nature seems to $^* it up.
