I will admit, I love watching a good smack down response from a business that responds with what actually happened. Those are the only google review things I pay any attention to since I assume all other reviews are either fake or someone's bad day barfed onto the internet.

Yeah, it's like that episode of Black Mirror that was super horrifying where people rate other people based on the tiniest interaction and you walk around with a virtual score above your head.
Except for a business owner, it is real life. We are existing like that right now and everyone can see every business's rating by just pulling out their phone.
If all of you had to carry the weight of a "rating" for all to see you would agree with me. Especially once you considered it's a rigged game set up to enrich a third party that could not care less about the integrity of the reviews or the fallout for the businesses.
