The quotes are many and varied, but apparently one of them simply says "this place sucks." Hey, its like the old saying, "When life gives you lemons, make funny t-shirts to hide the pain." Wait.
Anyway, we should probably do this with our comments. Anyone want to buy a "Why is this on Consumerist?" t-shirt?

]]>@dorianh49: I don't know why anybody would buy pizza in the first place, and I feel sympathy mixed with revulsion for these poor souls. Me, I make my own at home; it feeds 6 people and only costs $1.39 for the ingredients. And yes - it's positively sublime.
]]>@Rectilinear Propagation: And on the back: "It isn't a problem if you pay your balance in full every month."

"Who is still using a landline?"
"Who is still using checks?"
"Who is still using Windows?"
"Who is still driving a car in the city?"
followed by
"I got rid of mine in 1998, switched to cellular/online pay/Mac/bike and never looked back."
And so on.
]]>"CHARGE BACK"
]]>But I definitely want a "THAT HEADLINE IS MISLEADING!" t-shirt.

]]>wait I kid, i kid
]]>Meg, I'd be much obliged if you could create a t shirt with the words "Why go thru a CSR when you could EECB?" with a list of companies and the most effective address for an EECB on the back.
No? darn.
]]>The above post looked so much better all lined up before I hit the submit button.
]]>@Trai_Dep: Yes! Ok, except for the smell of urine on the city streets. I used to work at Blondie's Pizza in Berkeley; they also have/had? a location near the main cable car turnaround on Market Street.
Blondie's encouraged rudeness to customers when we thought they deserved it. It was all based on selling cheap, great tasting, huge pizza slices FAST. On Saturday nights, we'd have two lines in and two lines out. We'd holler "NEXT!" and "HAVE YOUR MONEY READY!" to keep it moving. As much fun as you can have on minimum wage. And it fed a lot of poor people pretty darn well. Anyone on Telegraph Ave. could scrounge $1.00 or $1.50 for a slice. Good times!

That's great. There is a chinese place by me where you pick the stuff you want raw and then they make it into a dish on a grill. Anyways word of mouth got around about how great it was. I looked on yelp and seen a review that was something like "the buffet food was cold" and thought umm did you not go up to get it cooked.
And another review was talking about how they went there last year and the food was nasty but decided to decided to try it again and it nothing changed. Thing was last year it was a Pizza Hut and they moved and it was only up for about 5 months.

]]>As if somehow adding in fixed costs, labor, and ingredients would somehow make something cheaper... and as if you would make something you thought tasted bad....
]]>I'll be sure to use the phrase more exactly next time :)
]]>Maybe a great tagline like "Violating your civil rights - because we can."
]]>I commented on a story at The Consumerist and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!
]]>unfortunately you won't sell many of the over teh intarweb.
]]>Think about it. However popular "Stop blaming the victim" is, "Blame the victim" is even more so.
]]>Why is this on Consumerist?
jk
]]>Sounds like a cute way to troll for good posts on forums.
]]>@SybilDisobedience: Or, how about, "Why would anybody buy a t-shirt when you can make your own?"
]]>@hadees:
I saw a completely bogus Yelp review on a local Japanese restaurant. They had the audacity to claim that a cockroach crawled out from under the pile of ginger slices on their sushi platter.
1) I've been to this restaurant multiple times a year for nearly a decade and have never seen evidence of poor sanitation, let alone cockroaches in the dining area.
2) How the frak would a live insect that size make it under the ginger when the sushi chef plates the food at the counter, using a thumb-sized pile of ginger?
In other words, Yelp is infested with human cockroaches.
