That reminds me. I got one of these for a small heater I bought a second one of. Great little heater. It's just weird they wanted to bribe me to review it.

Be happy that you have an emotive face.
I don't make expressions. I have to force them and I end up looking really weird. Pictures of me where I'm smiling on purpose make it look like I'm an alien in a human suit who's learning how to smile.

No need when I can just pointlessly dull and bend my brand new house keys to the point that they don't fit in the lock anymore.

Not true, people love to see genuine reviews. This won't stop people from taking advantage. Shitty people are shitty people.
The precedent here would be that this business is Abe to admit fault and be accountable. Studies have shown that something like over 90 percent of customers would repeat business if the business just admits fault and is accountable.

Reply to LPT: Chocolate chips are candy. by CrazieCayutLayDee
LPT: the saturated fat in chocolate is deleterious to your cardiovascular health, despite all these claims that chocolate is a health food. Skip the calories and saturated fat and go for cocoa powder instead.

Reply to LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left. by migudude
If it’s a day off and I have no plans, I agree. If I have work or other plans in the morning, my anxiety is satiated by knowing what time it is if I wake up in the middle of the night.

On the contrary, knowing whether it's 1 AM or 5 AM helps me a lot with sleeping. If it's 1, I can read for a short time and then drift naturally back to sleep. If it's 5, I'll either get up or doze until it's time to wake up.

No it’s even better? Chocolate chips are semisweet chocolate! Semisweet is the perfect ratio; milk chocolate is to sweet, and dark chocolate is too sharp. I have searched and searched and never really found a good semisweet chocolate bar.

No you’re not a “bit if a budgeter” if you are baffled by the concept of a savings account that can be used for larger, infrequent purchases if need be.

Generally don’t be an asshole to costumer service, even if it does take longer than usual. If you’re a patient and understanding costumer we’re rewarding your patience with some free stuff. Source: worked as a service technician for a well known electronics brand and we knew when it took too long to repair or replace some claims. But if the costumer was patient and understanding we stuffed a lot of extra stuff in their packages like battery packs, SD cards, or some accessories.

That's a different situation from what I think OP is writing about. It's not uncommon for a small business in a community to not only fix the problem but also then offer you a discount. If they are offering you a discount to repair a review without fixing the initial problem, they absolutely deserve to get drug over the coals for it

Now if a large conglomerate gives you discount or free items, absolutely mention it online because f*** conglomerates

On the contrary, I once received a refund to change my 1 star review to a 3 star review (the item broke within a week). After I received the refund I changed the rating back and added a bit about how they bribed me to change the rating

You can put the original lid back on it! As basically you have just shrunk the pot.

I personally would not consider Ghirardelli high quality considering their chocolate typically contains high fructose corn syrup. But I guess you did say mass market. I do sneak a caramel filled chocolate of theirs every now and then.
