The worst offenders are restaurants who offer discounts if you give an online review, specifically Google Reviews. This type of behaviour is predatory. When they try this tactic my review is instantanious and they're hit with a 1star so quickly their heads spin. The bonus being you still get the discount code which I am happy to accept, the meal and the service was excellent so I don't mind returning. One - or low - stars also afford the customer the ability to turn the tide, customers are always right and we've seem to flow away from that in recent years. One stars get immediate action and are attention grabbing, both useful tools that can be helpful in sorting out an arrogant business owner.
OP, I am so sorry to hear about your poor experience with your hot tub, if you DM me the name we can 1star bomb it on my end to help you find complete and full satisfaction.
Truly shameful on their part!

Thanks for sharing.
This is the exact type of guy that fatas a small business hard and is the exact type of customer that scares the #### out of me. You can spot them, too. They walk in, you
know there will be nothing you can do to get five stars out of them, and they hand out low ratings arbitrarily, vindictively, dishonestly (he's going one-star bomb a hot tub place he's never dealt with based on the one-sided story of a stranger on the Internet).
When I talk about how people are not qualified or competent enough to have the power of reviews, read this post and this is the type of guy I'm talking about. And there are a lot of them, and they're the ones that'll kill you with a bad review.
I know CHL can fairly review a sandwich. I don't trust this guy to do the same, but they have equal power to hurt me.
