=\ charging for a bad review is not going to increase your good reviews. It's like companies don't think before they pull this type of shit.

  Many of these small hotel and B&B owners run their businesses as a hobby or retirement plan, which often doesn't quite pan out as the passive income scheme they were anticipating. They don't cope with the responsibilities that entail and can't compete with professional hoteliers who understand visitors slightly better, so they end up chasing the bottom end of the market (it's not unusual to see rooms offered for £10/pppn. The lowest I've seen is £7/pppn).

      Not only was Basil Fawlty based on a real hotelier, but the hotel is now advertising itself as 'The inspiration for Fawlty Towers.' I discovered this last week when I drove past it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleneagles_Hotel,_Torquay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleneagles_Hotel,_Torquay

  I guess when someone has a small business and also happens to be an idiot, chances are slimer that a smarter business partner will point out an idiotic idea, so his idiocity has the chance to shine in all it's glory at every instance.
