Who the hell would want to do business with a company like this?

I saw "roofing company" and was really hoping this was about Garcia. I was disappointed.

They have 6 one star reviews right now but I don't see ones from them.


I think that's the allegations. They went and posted multiple 1 star reviews.

Absolutely. Left a Yelp review for a junk removal company that was 4 stars, docking a star for the high pricing. Owner contacted me on my cell phone, thanked me for my business and review, and offered $75 off my next job if I would change my review to 5 stars. Still kind of shady, but this is the way you get reviews changed, not threatening to fricking sue a customer.

As a business owner your job or the managers job is to put the fire out. Unfortunately, there are times the ball is dropped or the problem cannot be fixed to the customers satisfaction.

Filing a lawsuit against someone giving you a 1-star review seems like it will backfire on the business.

So now it’s gotten to the point that if you even contest the services rendered, a different opinion, or disagree whit the left, you’d better be prepared for legal action or being doxxed.... This nation is so fricked!!!!


Pretty much, but you could stay off the internet except for TD and deal with people in person.

Just like freedom of religion set a baker free…..
I don’t put anything pst some Woke judge in Washington.

Also, sounds like the work was being done for the landlord, not these people. They were asking for a report without authorization.

Owner brings up a good point though, these people had no right to the report and did not do business with this company….

Also, old lady complaining about not having money for a lawyer….then take down the review and you don’t need a lawyer

Person I know was put on a "do not serve" list for leaving a very legitimate one star review at a local food establishment.


If it was very legitimate why would they go back?

If they simply stated factual information, that lawsuit is not going anywhere


Sweet summer child. The point may not even be to win the lawsuit.

Even that’s not safe. A certain poster is said to be considering a class action against down voters for infliction of emotional distress.

7 downvotes and not one rebuttal. Marx theorized a system built on logical fallacies and inconsistencies. No wonder his followers can’t at least rebut the ridiculousness of the OP

People don't know how to use those 5 point scales. These dipshits rate things 5 stars if it is satisfactory. Leaves no room for truly great establishments.

To be fair, it sounds like the couple are not customers and the allegation is they threatened the business with bad reviews for not sharing information that was between the business and the owner of the home that contracted the services.

If accurate, it’s incredibly shitty behavior by the couple too and they had plenty of opportunity to think better of it.
