On the topic of STD/DD etc, there is a restaurant that I like that was around a 7 on STD. It's now in the 9s. Amazing that they didn't go bankrupt.
Where do I get this from? From someone who is actually running a small business that took years of good reviews to build an online reputation. At any moment someone could give me a 0/5 review that would tank my business. My perfect google rating is almost solely responsible for driving my business, and the whole thing is very tenuous.

And yes, typically when a business has many low reviews it's deserved. However, even 1-2 bad, or even average reviews, are enough to significantly affect a business, and the fact that many posters don't seem to realize that is very troubling.

Once again, not commenting on the OPs particular case.
