Exactly. And she obviously ignores the fact that restaurants everywhere are still having staffing shortages. She couldn’t cut them some slack for being short-handed?

She did also say that the food was bad.

Sure, but give them a few months to work out some kinks
I would, but I wouldn't call someone that didn't an asshole.

If it was just this asshole telling the sister of the owner that it was bad, that’s maybe more understandable. But in a group setting, it’s pretty insensitive.

the person giving their opinion should have worded it a bit different. saying i understand that they just opened so I am going to hold my initial impression and give them another chance. to me that conveys it was a negative experience but not being too confrontational.

now if the sister presses and they say exactly what happened and how the felt then the sister would be the asshole for being upset. never ask a question you dont want to hear the answer of

Beyond the fact that you are automatically an asshole if you shit talk a small business after one bad experience, this guy also brought the subject up himself!

Maybe this doesn't belong here, but I'm going to share it in the closest spot.

My friends own a bar on the ground floor of a big apartment building, and their software was working like shit. Their internet provider helped them run a check, and it turned out that on a day they were closed 300 devices were connected to their internet connection. Fuck near the whole building was using their wifi instead of getting their own.

They've started changing the password twice a week, once on Sunday night b/c they're closed on Monday and Tuesday, and once on Wednesday morning so that their customers can use it.

My favorite part of the story is that when they first changed it, a woman called from an apartment upstairs and asked them to give her the password b/c she got kicked off when it changed. She yelled at them when they refused to give the password over the phone.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

So they have no idea what they're doing?

They can have two lines then. One open for customers, that could end up being fairly slow. And one for the staff and the bar to use.
