Anecdote: I once went to a mini golf / bar place and the Google Maps listing said it was closed for today only. I went in and the owner said they’re open. Once I got in, I saw dozens of Googlers were doing a team building event.
I suggested a edit to revert the “closed today” hours and sent a picture of the hours. The edit was somehow rejected immediately.
As a “local guide” who volunteers to improve listings of local businesses, this left a sour taste in my mouth.
I also don’t believe that out of the 50 Googlers who were there that day, not one tried correcting the “error”. This leads me to believe it was malicious.
