Comment on Foursquare’s CEO says Yelp is shaking down local businesses

Comments

Waitress friend told me about her restaurant's zero tolerance Yelp policy.

If you are explicitly named in two negative reviews (in some un-defined time period), you are fired.

Your waitress friend should submit a few (fake) bad reviews explicitly naming her boss (or whomever wrote the policy). Not to get the person fired, but to make them face the reality of that shitty policy and get it changed...

Wow I guess she wouldn't want to piss off any coworkers either, since fake reviews are so common.

Holy shit talk about perverse incentives. Giving away free food avoids negative yelp reviews.

That seems more like one tolerance.
