WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE LEFT YOU A REVIEW LIKE THIS? "I'd heard such solid reviews and after *decades* of dodging finally tried it. Inedible glop. Although a native Montanan I've lived in Southern California for the past 20 years so might be spoiled for just basic baseline excellence for adequate food at a half-assed food truck level (delicious), but this was proper shite. Shite. SHITE. Like proper you're starving to death with Earnest Shacketon, have already killed the dogs and still turn up your nose at it shite. Please, god. Give me the seal blubber. Give me baby penguins. Give me rancid human flesh. Pekin was sliced canned lunchmeat over a pile of chow problem Costco-fucking mein. Trying to be a good sport, and as a trailer-raised, commodity-nourished rez kid I sampled each portion, gagged, then said f**k it and closed out post haste, embarrassed for myself---nay, disappointed in myself--for not acknowledging each obvious red flag as I recognized it and listening as it came. Took the rest of that plate of half-assed slop to-go because I hate waste. My dog was... semi-delighted? Mildly disappointed? He ate it, un-enthusiastically, to get to his preferred kibble. To be fair, service was polite and competent. Food was notably, notably wretched. Truly, just excrement. I'd rather dine at a gas station. After all, a corn dog and Mountain Dew at least feels like an away game... This is my second Yelp review ever. I mean it." At Big Sky DevCon over the weekend, the first presentation was an excellent discussion of how to handle negative comments, especially when they are as pointed as this one! I would like to add one step to that, "Is it true?" Occasionally, a client will ask me to remove negative comments. That's not going to happen because I'm not a hacker. But, every business owner should ask, "Is it true?" first. In the case of the review above, it is true. I know it's true from having eaten there, even if I would not state it that way. If it's not true, I would suggest following the advice in the presentation.
