      I wish I could explain to companies how fucking awkward and horrible it feels to be on the receiving end of forced gratitude. Even if I liked the restaurant, I wouldn’t be able to go if they did this.

      I guess it’s no surprise that rich people think the experience is still the same with or without the consent of the providing party.
