I gave the first negative review in my life.

I updated the review to even worse.

That's pretty good!

My wife and I were researching wedding reception caterers and we met with this woman who talked a good game and it sounded really great and she gave us a gift certificate to come to their restaurant...which sucked, food and service.

I guess she did us a favor

It's just marketing.

I had someone call me once about an Amazon review on an eye cream and it was just that I said it didn't work for me.
They said if I deleted, they would send me double the value in Amazon gift carts.
I thought "huh, why not?" and took it.

Also have had my favorite expensive restaurant send me $100 gift card because my review wasn't great.
It wasn't even a bad review but mostly the service, honest and they never asked me to change anything.
I still go back there and is still my favorite.
Didn't bother me to accept the gift.

I’m not saving the world from anything. It’s about integrity to me so how can I call them on their integrity if I sell mine for some money.

It’s too long of a story but they also were trying to scam my insurance company for a new roof since the “salesman” had a big commission on his mind because he kept saying “this is a $30k roof all day long”.

Keep in mind the roof is 7 years old and what ended up fixing the roof was half a tube of caulk.
