providers requesting 5star reviews on RM

[+ JamesB]

I’ve had several providers ask me to leave a review. If the experience was just “meh” I usually acknowledge the request with a quick emoji and leave it at that without posting anything.

Recently, I had a provider bring it up twice before I even left and then follow up again by text afterward. That felt a bit excessive, so I ended up ignoring the message altogether.

Thanks, all -- so helpful to hear all your perspectives on this situation. Especially @Ichabod's admonition to "find a way to get comfortable with ignoring his request."

I saw one of those at an airport. I didn't respond to it. I just thought, WTAF, rating a loo? God give me strength!

These are coming from all sides now. I get them from my hair dresser, from hotels I stay at, from my car dealer when I take my car in for servicing and the odd escort, which actually happened to me in the last month. He asked me at the end of the session ( our second) and I did post a review. But I probably won’t see him again as the session was sort of meh, like yours. 
So there’s your answer. 

I get them from the check-out cashiers at my supermarket!  They print the receipt, circle the review website on it and ask me to leave them a review.  Of course, during the trip home, I think about what I'm going to say about the experience.  They efficiently scanned my purchases?  They packed them appropriately, with the eggs on the top of the shopping bag?  They told me to have a nice day as I left?  It's ridiculous, but then I worry that in this data-driven world, their pay may be effected by whether and how I respond.  

So now I do the only thing I could think of.  I go through the self-checkout line.

Interesting. I always make sure the eggs are on the bottom because they are heavy. I place lighter items like boxed lettuce or bread on top. Lol

The other issue with most reviews is that the questions go on ad nauseum. If a review has more than 5 questions I abort.
