Reply to comment by Effendoor in LPT: If you call a company to speak to customer service but the automated menu won't let you talk to a real person, say "Upgrade my account" instead of "Refund" or "Cancel," when the automated menu asks you to state why you're calling.

A lot of times you might have to leave a voicemail for the manager. They will probably call you back, but it might be a little while.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Las Vegas restaurant goes from having almost no customers, to sold out after review from famous TikToker by CaptLeaderLegend26

I don't think ppl who say they dislike Tik Tok or social media " influencers" usually mean food critic or any other kind of actual reviewer. I feel there's a very specific type of person that is meant, although I'm not sure how to define it.
