Confession. 13 years ago, I left a 1 star review for a local business. They kept forgetting the extra side of sauce I ordered. Like, every time.
I'd get back to work and be extremely disappointed because I WANTED that extra sauce!!!!! I was addicted to food at that time, meaning that if I didn't get what I wanted, it pretty much ruined my day.
You would think I would have learned to check the bag before I left.
I loved the place, obviously. Went there every week. But I left them a 1 star review. This business is now closed, so I can't fix it.
As a small business owner, one of my goals is to support local small businesses. I am making an effort to be more intentional about leaving positive reviews for businesses I love.
It's so easy for people to leave negative reviews and spread rumors online. I'm sure you see it every day.
My challenge to you is to go leave some reviews, Facebook/Google/Yelp/Tripadvisor for businesses you love! ~Aaralyn, FloatQC Owner
