Boners BBQ’s Social Media Boner
A local woman visited Boners BBQ in Atlanta, used a coupon and left a bad review on Yelp; afterwards, owner Andrew Capron posted an angry rant on the restaurant’s Facebook and Twitter pages. She also may or may not have left a bad tip — but Capron definitely asked her to “play hide and go fuck yourself” before making fun of her picture, so it’s kind of easy to see who’s to blame here.

Reddit helped light a spark.
Going Viral
From there, the story blew up all over, going from Reddit to The Huffington Post, The Daily Mail, and social media marketing sites.
5. Boners apologizes (kind of)
It’s unclear if she didn’t tip, or if the staff didn’t understand the Scoutmob coupon she used. There’s more minutiae in the Reddit posting.
Good thing they registered that slogan.

Chris Fow Cohen a year agoThe addage “all publicity is good publicity” is wrong. Bad publicity will cost a business, especially when it comes to insulting customers.

Whether she tipped or not is not the issue: the restaurant lashed out at a customer who gave a negative review, and to be rude, crude and nasty. Shame on that business, and the owner of Boner’s should fire that employee (or, if it’s himself, close down business and get the psychological help he needs).

Henry Horker a year agoI live right around the corner from this place. They’re nice people actually. Just a bunch of rednecks who probably shouldn’t be operating Facebook accounts, and just stick to making mediocre BBQ.

Worked in a pizza trattoria for fifteen years. Most common question: How big is a 12 inch pizza? “‘bout a foot.” And somehow *I’m* the asshole? In short: half of the public is not smart enough to read, or derive any information not spelled out in semaphore.
