#38: The Boy’s Club
This person was “banned” from a local shop because they left a one-star review on the business’s Facebook page. Um. This is honestly not a legitimate reason to ban someone. Here’s how it went down. Our storyteller was fed up with the way the shop owner ran things and decided to leave a review expressing their frustration.
The shop owner ran the place like an old boy’s club. He’d always have a group of his buddies hanging around the shop, getting in the way of the counter and the register. It didn’t create a welcoming environment for shoppers, and it was kind of intimidating. You never want potential customers to feel like outsiders the moment they walk through your doors! Anyways, the owner got miffed about the review and banned our storyteller, which was no great loss.
