    It probably would have taken less effort to get another job at a different restaurant. Why would you even want to go back to work at a place where you think the manager is a bitch?

    When managers chase arbitrary targets, they make arbitrary decisions, which can be easily manipulated.

    Must be from a small town, because there isn’t a restaurant in any big city that would give a shit.

    It’s generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don’t want banned.

      I have had probably a hundred accounts through google, all of them almost 100℅ connected to me and have not had an issue in 20 years I used google.

        How do you make so many accounts without it having to ask for a phone number? I sometimes try to create accounts just to signup to things I know will send spam; but Gmail asks for a phone number and I give up because what’s the point if I have to give Google my number

          Create your account more slowly to avoid a phone number request, Google thinks you’re just ancient. As always, avoid poisoning your IP by changing it after every new account. I’ve successfully used and discarded like 40 google accounts.

          The person literally said Jews are going to accuse us of antisemitism no matter what so we might as well accuse them of genocide…

          This is my concern with the whole movement.

          You guys are spending your time defending obvious anti semitism instead of doing anything to defend the Palestinian people.

          If you truly believe a genocide is happening, than what you are doing to help is not good enough.

      Is this in their TOS somewhere? I am 99.99% this isn’t enforced and there are many professional and private reasons to have multiple accounts.

      Edit: I guess if you actively try to cheat the system by exploiting multiple accounts. But i thought the post was a possibly fake funny and not a suggestion/endorsment.

      Be smart about it. Use a clean system unrelated to anything else. Spawn a few cheap VPS instances with smaller providers, use them as VPN endpoints. It is a bit of effort and it doesn’t scale well, but for a single purpose like this it is possible.

          Unrelated small businesses, sure.

          But the one that just fired you?

          I think that’s a justified amount of work. Alao you were just fired, you’ve got a surplus work-budget anyway

    You should have dropped your 3 star reviews to 2 and change them to something like “So nice that the polite waiter came back, but his boss is a giant insufferable cunt.”

    sounds like bullshit, if the manager wasn’t being asked personally about “the missing nice waiter” even once, she most likely wouldn’t be taking all that much stock in a couple yelp reviews, and when was the last time you heard about a waiter “getting a raise”, lol
