What gives her the right to stamp that low score on the forehead of a company and then leave it there for going on six years now? I mean, I guess the company is no longer in business so it matters less, but their legacy is this chick's nasty little review.
This is why businesses need to be able to shed reviews - good and bad - after six months. Her 60% review lives on forever. Fata her.

Okay, I have to ask if this is actually a thing?
In my world 5 stars is absolute perfection for a rating. A business would have to have provided amazing service to warrant a 5. 3 stars is 'average' but average means completely acceptable in my world. Giving a rating of 3 would mean (to me) that everything was I would have expected and I got the service I expected. What's wrong with that?
Am I out of the norm in thinking this way? Nothing wrong with a 3, I would rarely ever give out a five. Am I that out of touch with online ratings? Or has grade inflation crept into our rating system now as well?
