What do you do when... UPDATED

you had a bad experience with a local business and it is virtually impossible to leave a bad review? I was taken off their mailing list, blocked on Facebook, and my reputation was smeared. Since I was blocked on Facebook, I couldn't leave a review.  I went on Yelp. I left a well thought out review (not a rant and even complimenting when credit was due) on Yelp, only to have them get it removed from Yelp. The Yelp legal department called it, "a conflict of interest," citing that I was a former employee. Sorry, Yelp, I was never an employee. 

Only rave reviews are left, some by relatives of employees.  Other positive reviews are given by sympathetic customers who listen to the sob stories.  Shouldn't the public have the right to read ALL reviews, both good and bad? We are talking about purchases that are worth thousands of dollars.

Going to the Better Business Bureau is not an option. They have been reported to the BBB through the years - not by me, but by others. 

My money is no good there. Oh yeah. They are always on the Mt. Lebanon tax lien list every year.  Even the IRS is after them. All public information and well documented. They may think that they won, but you can't keep treating your best customers like crap. It does catch up to you, sooner or later.

Update December 2, 2018 9:28 AM There is legislation which supports consumer rights and the integrity of critical feedback about products and services.

Yes, You Can Post That Negative Online Review, Says Congress

It's not as complicated as it looks.

Don't let this scare you.

I made it all the way to the end of the flow chart, but it did cost $7000 for the PA Supreme Court to tell me that they wouldn't hear the Petition for Allowance of Appeal. We don't have the Right To Know where lethal weapons are being discharged on Mt. Lebanon private properties. 

Lamb didn't sign

In threat to Pelosi, 16 Dems say they’ll back new leadership

U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, D-18, Mount Lebanon, who won the new 17th Congressional District seat on Nov. 6, did not sign the letter, although he has expressed his opposition to having Pelosi serve as Speaker. A Lamb spokeswoman said Monday that nothing had changed, noting that Lamb has repeatedly stated after the election that he would not vote for Pelosi in caucus or in a House floor vote.

Uptown Parking Meters

Mt. Lebanon will not be enforcing the parking meters on Thanksgiving, Black Friday nor Small Business Saturday. The garages will be managed on a regular schedule.

The Municipality will also be rolling out the "Courtesy Ticket Program" beginning Monday, December 10th and that will carry on till Wednesday, January 2nd. Customers are extended a 'grace period' of one hour after a meter expires as a Holiday courtesy. A green courtesy ticket is issued on expired meters that inform the driver of the bonus. After the one hour a standard ticket would be issued (i.e. with a fee).

Oh my!

The Post-Gazette endorses Keith Rothfus. Keith Rothfus for Congress: The PG endorses Rothfus in 17th District

Wouldn't you know it? I switched parties so that I could vote for Ray for PA He was the only candidate who was against AR-15, the weapon of war. Conor Lamb ran an ad where he was firing an AR 15 and the voiceover was "Conor still loves to shoot."

I would love to know what his position is with assault weapons now. Robert Bowers used an AR-15, all purchased legally, at the Tree of Life Synagogue.

The Post-Gazette is also endorsing Scott Wagner. 145 comments of name calling followed the editorial.
