I worked at a brewery for a while, and I had a woman come in and use a Groupon. She loved the beer, and ordered a few cans to go- it was a Wednesday at like 3 PM, so she was the only person there.
I rang her up and handed her the bill, and she stared at me for a second before asking me to look at her phone, where she had pulled up her Yelp profile. Something like 1,200 reviews, she was "certified" (whatever the fuck that means) and she pointed to her bill after showing me her phone and coughed in that condescending way that people do when they think they're above the "staff".
I asked if she didn't want her beers- I had stood there and written the names on the cans as she listed them. She told me, and I quote: "Well, I just thought, you know, I can make or break your brewery with my review."
It took all of my strength to not tell her that the owner was a prick and the only reason I stuck around was because the brew master was a genius and my free shift beer was worth dealing with assholes like her, plus all of the regulars loved me and tipped way too much on their bills.
She didn't end up buying the cans of beer and I just took them home.
I work at a hotel near Disneyworld, where rooms can reach 300+/night. It shames me how much we comp and how much ass we kiss for bloggers, "influencers" (whatever the fuck that is), social media personalities, etc., only to have the same losers condescend and treat like shit the employees of the hotel. They are a blight.

Yelp should have a "this review is good" or "this review is bad" if a review gets enough "this is bad" then the review is taken down
