A Yelp Poster's Decision to Picket a Boston-Area Restaurant

The reviews posted on Yelp's website can often be rather interesting and entertaining, and a recent one is no exception.

It appears--assuming that the review is for real--that a Yelp poster had his $5 "stolen" from him by a Boston-area restaurant (which shall remain unnamed here) and he wants it back. The poster mentions that the person behind the counter at the eatery gave his sandwich to someone else who ordered after he did and when he complained, the counter person said that he hadn't actually ordered the sandwich. An argument ensued and the poster said he was going to leave (at which point the counter person apparently agreed on this point and told him to leave as well). The poster left the restaurant and claims that the place closed its doors that night hours before it was due to close.

Based on the poster's experience, he states that he is going to picket the restaurant every hour of every day until he gets his $5 back, and encourages others to join him in his protest.

This is just one of several offbeat posts that we have seen on Yelp lately, including some from other parts of the country. Have you read any unusual Yelp posts about Boston-area restaurants? If so, feel free to post links to them in the "Comments" section here.
