Local Business Owner Attacks Random Person, Then Begs After Reviews Destroy Her Business In Days

A 28-year-old woman refused to back down after parking in what she believed was a normal high street car park space. She left a review, even though the business had stellar ratings, and that small act kicked off a full-on blowup. OP wasn’t even a customer, which is exactly why the review felt “conflicted,” but the way she was spoken to left her rattled, especially because she said she’s already struggling.

Then the reviews started piling up, and the owner reportedly went from attacking OP to begging for mercy when the damage hit fast.

The woman started to have a really big go at the OP and was very rude

OP's not the type to normally do this but found she was needlessly rude

Reddit

OP says the woman had a “really big go” at her, and it all started over a parking spot that OP claims is used by the whole high street.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

Leaving a negative review of a business that has stellar reviews when I was not a customer of the establishment

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other Redditors have to say about the story

Reddit

Interactions do reflect on a business

You can give a place a reasonable bad review for anything

She was rude over a simple mistake

Reddit

The owner’s attitude is what made OP snap, because she wasn’t just wrong, she was needlessly rude when OP was already having a rough time.

This also echoes the roommate who demanded payment for cat allergy treatment after shared living tension.

OP even took the review down after realizing the business is part of the community, but the owner still ended up in tears as the fallout spread.

The OP revealed more details in the comment section saying...

It's just a normal car park that all the high street shops can useJust like a normal parking bayIt's owned by a third partyI'm not wrong for having parked there or how I parked its the review part im conflictedI have taken it down as I am part of the community and dont want to actually affect this person's livelihoodI just hate how she spoke to me and it made me feel like sh*t when I'm already struggling

And the comments continues to roll in...

Reddit

She is being held accountable for her behaviour

Reddit

It is ridiculous that she came in crying

This Redditor is explaining what freedom of speech means in different aspects

Reddit

One commenter basically summed it up as accountability for the owner’s behavior, because word-of-mouth reviews can hit a business in days, not weeks.

One important component of consumer research is word-of-mouth. People may be discouraged from trading at a business by friends, family, and acquaintances.

If any of them read a negative review, they will probably tell anyone who is thinking about doing business with you. Because of this, negative internet reviews have enormous influence which is why the woman was in tears.

Still, she didn't have to be so rude. You can leave your thoughts and verdict about this story in the comment section.

Nobody wins when you attack someone in person, then panic when the reviews do exactly what they do.
