I’ve been to places where the reviews are good and the place is not good (to me) and the exact opposite. But if multiple people say it’s good then it’s a good chance it is, if multiple say no, probably a chance it isn’t good and we find somewhere else.

And it isn’t a bad thing to not blindly go somewhere, show up, spend money and time to then find out it’s not good.

Do people buy a car simply because someone says “just go support your local car dealer”? No. It’s the same thing.

It's a bottle of maple syrup, not a $30,000 car.

Same principle. Jesus why is that so hard for people to understand?

Let’s make it less money then, so you’ll go spend $20 on something you know nothing about because “it’s local!”
