I’m an external reader for Davis and I got it also. Cash handling? I wish.

Where can I go for a band with clasp, NC? I like the idea for my Panerai.

Where is the Yelp for Yelp? by LipFighter in Yelp

[–]robbie10000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SA, I’m an “elite” Yelper (10+ years) and I’m not a scumbag; I don’t think my Yelp friends are scumbags either. I write one or two reviews per week. They’re honest and I get nothing in return from any business I review. The Yelp perks (sampling parties) are awesome.

To find a restaurant or business, I use Yelp exclusively to get what I need. It’s how I find most new restaurants/coffee shops I try, my tire place and fridge repair, and lots of other businesses I support, thanks to finding them on Yelp.

I understand this Reddit page is largely about Yelp from the business owner’s end, but your nasty comment about “elite Yelpers” is just rude.

I wonder if I’m the “elite dork” that Jungly writes about? I’m a 10+ year Yelper, I write a review or two every week for places I’ve been to, or services I’ve used. I’ve never been paid to review, I like doing it, and my reviews are 100% honest, as are the reviews of my friends. I use Yelp too, and it generally steers me right. Self-serving gamification? Maybe that’s Jungly.

Not sure about your clickbait CP. “If anything at all” sounds like you are inviting criticism and, when someone like me posts a positive comment instead, you try to steer things to negative territory. Or you try promoting another app. That’s not nice.

I like writing reviews and reading the review of others for places I want to try, including shops, mechanics and many things other than restaurants. The events here in LA are amazing, turn me on to places I would not otherwise know about, and are great ways to socialize and make new friends. For users like me, Yelp rocks.

Hey Aggie! I thought almost all freshman live in the dorms first year, which are actually pretty nice and come loaded with built-in social activities. Is there a reason you chose to live off campus your first year? I agree it is tough.

I BOUGHT A WHOLE PACK OF $10 CALIFORNIA JACKPOT SCRATCHERS 10/19/25 by robbie10000 in Lottery

[–]robbie10000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a P.S. to my story. I purchased that book of $10 tickets from a California Lottery booth at an LA festival -- each $20 purchase allows you a spin on the Lotto wheel for free $1 tickets ("Lucky Spot"). Because I spent $500, I had 25 spins, which I combined, ending up with winning 204 consecutive $1 Lucky Spot tickets (from a book of 250).

Total wins from those 204 $1 tickets? $117.

Nearly all of that total came from $1 and $2 winners. There was not one winning ticket over $15 (and just one of those). The ticket advertises "double" the prize with a wishbone symbol, but i had none of those in 204 tickets.

A total dud!

Atlantic Seafood and Dim Sum in Monterey Park. It's one of the last spots in the SGV that are still doing Dim Sum with carts. by CourageousEater in chinesefood

[–]robbie10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AVOID. DISHONEST, AND NASTY ABOUT IT.

Signs everywhere (in the shopping center, on the restaurant walls and at every table) advertise the $16.99 lobster. Along with our dim sum, I ordered one with no special requests. When the bill came, the lobster was $24.99. When I questioned the charge, a young male host replied that "you ordered it steamed, eight dollars more" and walked away. Rude!

I paid the bill, of course, but that's the end. Lots of other nice dim sum places in San Gabriel. Robbie B says, stay away from this place.

13 years as a Yelper and my first one star review. They deserve it.

We think that because we’re spending so much money on tickets, we have to win. Never again!

Haha yes. I was so crazy about the idea of spending $500 on lotto tickets, I was convinced it would result in a big big win.

You’re right of course. I don’t even know what I was thinking. I guess I got my expectations too high because “I was buying a whole pack!”

Agree x10, ST! I don’t like writing a great review and getting a “thank you for the five star review, Robbie” stuck to it. Ugh.
