Interesting program on UK TV this week called Attach Of The TAs
Did anyone else see it?
It was quite scary to see some of the obsessive reviewers. One guy deliberately stays at places with the aim of writing a review. In the hotel featured he took a tea and coffee from the room to see if it would be replenished and then complained becuase it wasn't even though there was still ample tea/coffee on the tray. He put a dot on the bedsheet to see if this was changed when the room was cleaned and complained that it wasn't (after 1 night?) and went on about how terrible it was becuase he had a skin complaint (even though he never actually told the hotel that he had a skin problem or asked for the bed to be changed).
There was also a couple running a B&B/restaurant who'd had bad reviews, who did themsleves no favours at all. As part of the program they invited someone back who'd left a bad review for a meal. It started off all pleasant and "we hope you enjoy your meal" and ended up with the owners wife almost in tears at these peoples table telling them her life woes at which point the reviewer got up and walked out, affraid I'd have done the same.
