Volunteer Reviews, or the New Blackmail?

My family & I just returned from one of those Escape Room Adventures.
Our room organizer asked us to “like” them on FB before we even stepped into our room.
He also included that they would give us more “hints” if we followed them on Instagram!

What is that all about??

First of all, I don’t have FB & the people who did said they didn’t want to “like” something before they tried it.
Some businesses asking for reviews are behaving more like stalkers & treating it like bribery.

Companies do not understand that they are harassing us so badly & making us feel so uncomfortable that we will begin to leave complaining reviews based on the level of harassment from them.

My mother had her tire fixed & the serviceman from the dealership left her a desperate Voice Mail begging her to leave him a good review when his company gives her the follow-up call.
These people are abusing the review process.

We just had a toilet back up in our house & had to call a service center & the guy was only there 4 minutes & took out his iPad & asked my mom to go through 10 review questions & rate them.
We didn’t even have any work completed yet.

I could go on & on…

I completely understand that reviews are everything today, but Companies have to get a handle on how & when they go about asking us for reviews.

This is getting outta hand.
We really don’t want to have to leave a review for every little thing in life, leaving reviews are becoming a nightmare & they aren’t voluntary anymore.

They are becoming mandatory, threatening & a form of harassment.
Not a good way to get a nice review…

Companies/businesses better watch out before the reviews you are harassing us for bite you in the butt.

Stop acting so desperate.
Do good work & treat people nicely & your work will speak for itself.

There is a right way to ask us for a review.
