Couldn't Gael just revise his review? He clearly regretted his initial rating after eating the brownie. The brownie was part of that specific visit to the restaurant. So, it wouldn't make sense for Gael to omit that in his review.
The review was written and posted before he received the brownie, as it was a prerequisite to even receive the brownie. He has no obligation or further incentive to alter it after the fact. Makes perfect sense.
"I have principles, but I'd leave them a 5/5 if they asked me to. They want to know how to improve which is why I didn't mention how the food I wasn't impressed by could be improved. I will not change the rating because it's meant to be a rating for the overall experience, which is why I'm excluding the part of the experience I loved from the review." I know they're just having fun, but people like that can be frustrating.
I don't even really know these guys yet, but this was one of my favorite YMS videos. You guys are hilarious together and have a great chemistry. Thanks for the laughs, editor :)
I would like to point out that Gael did not state that he was paid for his review, Gael was engaged in a "transaction". So he has no reviewing integrity, just give them 5 stars. This poor restaurant tried giving some plain bone broth for Gael's upset tummy and he complains about "lack of seasoning".
the fact that im the 3 minute mark and the video 38 minute long, makes me think that Gaël's have some issues. After seeing the whole thing, I can say that it made my day, I hope Gaël gets the help he needs :). ⭐⭐⭐⭐
After only eating bread and broth then taking a piss, having any guise of legitimatecy behind a review is like watching only the title crawl in a star wars film, talking a crap and saying the movie was just ok.
My dad and I watched Hellboy 2 recently. He was on his phone THE ENTIRE TIME (genuinely, he only looked at the screen for a collective five minutes when I paused to make a comment, specifically with the goal of getting him to look at the screen) and he has the balls to say “it was fine. Still not as good as most Marvel movies.” and I wanted to rip his throat out. Same thing for Paddington. In the case of Paddington, it was especially upsetting because it’s not even like his phone was right there. Just before the chase scene, he stood up, walked to his shelf on the other side of the room, navigated through his drawers to find his tablet, and went back to his chair so he could start reading digital comics while the movie was playing (and he didn’t even seem bored by it. We were roughly a half hour in and he had burst out laughing at least 3 times by that point). Another time (this was at least not in the past 2 months), he and I were watching the third Hobbit movie, since we had both only seen the first two, and he leaves the room to go back to work, I pause it for him, and he actually tells me to not pause it. He misses roughly a half hour of the movie because he’s doing work from home (and let me tell you that he usually does just about anything to get out of having to do his job and when he sits back down, I ask what that was about and he even describes it as something minor). Again, he said “ehh, it was pretty good, I guess”.
I am so glad I recently watched all of curb your enthusiasm within the past couple months. It makes this story so much better knowing of Larry david in the show
I think Adum summed it up really well but didn’t press it as hard as he should have- Gäel is not a known food critic or restaurant reviewer, and he does not have a following in that regard. For him to think that anyone would or should care about what he has to say about restaurants is bizarre to say the least. He goes off about being honest, but he was was only giving the review in the first place in exchange for a dessert. If it weren’t for the brownie, he wouldn’t have even considered leaving a review, so why would he leave an honest review? The “social contract” at play here is that obviously the restaurant wants 5 star reviews, so they put up a sign saying that if you gave them a review, you would get a free brownie; it should go without saying that they would prefer a 5 star review, since they also likely want to use that promotion to increase their overall average on the review site. They spent money on that promotion, since they are giving free food in exchange for that promotion. It’s like if they said they’d give you free food if you wore a shirt from their restaurant, but then you went around telling people “ehh the restaurant is okay I guess maybe don’t go there though there’s better places” when asked about your shirt. They are using you for promotion, and they are not anticipating that you will randomly decide to be a stickler and give them a lower review than what the average person considers to be a good review. The “payment” for the brownie was the review, so it should have been as good as it could be, even if that was false.
You don't have to be a professional reviewer of any kind to leave a legitimate review. He left an honest review of an establishment that he actually attended, it holds as much weight as any other review. I also find it hilarious how upset you're all getting over a 4 out of 5 star review, which is great. They got a 4 star review for giving someone a brownie, that's fantastic. Very smart move. Your last sentence is absolutely baffling, I don't know what to make of it. Could you explain what you mean by "social contract"?
@@lich109And _included_ things he could have just told their server, like the broth being under-seasoned in his opinion. They can just add more. Leaving a 4 star review they will probably never read is a wild way to “give feedback”. Edit: Yes I’m back 8 hours later to properly watch this
the best part of this is how valid both arguments are. he shouldve just given 5 stars, but he didn't have to and didn't feel he had a 5 star experience.
To be fair, the brownie was for an exchange for a review, not a good or bad review, just a review... the waiter probably wanted to know why it wasnt a 5 star to know what they could do better for the future.
Gaël is 100% in the wrong here. The reason the server asked “Why four stars?” was because management most likely would bring it up. It happens ALL THE TIME where I work. Anything below 5-stars is a failure. It’s fucked up because it defeats the whole rating system, but that’s unfortunately the nature of the beast.
I agree, but also agree with Gael's rating system. This why if I was ever in a position to get something for free but I have to leave a 5-star review but I feel like they don't desreve 5-stars, I wouldn't ask for the free thing. Since I know that's what they want and that's what I get in return so I wouldn't expect to get it in return since I'm not doing what they want.
I work at a movie theater and corporate processes grades like that. Either we get perfect scores, or we "failed." What makes it infuriating is the fact that people will randomly give us lower grades for totally inane reasons, which reflects poorly on us. Ex. I've read more than a few "reviews" from, let's just say "older" people, who will do things like give us 4 out of 5 or 9 out of 10 scores, then say something like "It was fantastic and I couldn't ask for more... but there's always room for improvement!" Or they'll give the staff mediocre feedback, but their reasoning is something like "I didn't like the movie very much" or "I couldn't get a close enough parking space." But corporate doesn't care what the reasoning is because they don't have the time to go through millions of reviews. So we'll get bullshit scores that have to be processed and lower our score.
@@obscure.reference No, him saying they want to learn how to improve but not leaving that info on the review, or him saying a review is about the full experience but omitting the part he loved the most is what makes him wrong.
Gael you inspire me to stand up for myself more. I think you explained your position poorly in what was already going to be an uphill struggle, but I actually agree with most of your position. Good for you, 4/5 never change.
All she was trying to do was find-out how she can improve. That is their focus, they want you to have the best possible experience. She was basically asking, "What could we have done to earn that 5th star?"
He was annoyed that she phrased it: "Why are you *MISSING* star?" As if they automatically deserved five stars no matter what, and had one *taken away* instead of being *given* four stars based on merit. If they just asked "why four stars, and what could we do to earn a 5 star rating next time?" he wouldn't have minded, but the way they phrased it bugged him. She assumed his ratings start at 5 and decrease based on bad things, instead of starting at 0 and adding based on what was good.
@@Rhubarb120 typically I’m in agreement with that rating format, but considering he decided not to consume an entire meal, he didn’t really give the restaurant an opportunity to earn a full rating.
@@Rhubarb120Uh yeah? Restaurants go by 5 star default for customer reviews. That’s why she was asking that. Corporate assumes if a guest doesn’t give 5 stars you fucked up and so she was asking what was wrong, because that’s literally her job.
Hard to have a principled honest review when it wasn't going to be given without reward. It was a social contract, 2 entities who trade basically nothing in return for each other's satisfaction. It cost Gael nothing for the extra star and by his own admission he is not a professional reviewer keeping integrity. Why that last star couldn't be given probably doesn't have a logical reason, just a stubborn refusal to acknowledge and follow social contracts when everyone else does.
He literally explained the reason in the video. You should watch it, I recommend it. Also, what in the world is a social contract? Sounds absolutely ridiculous. You have an interesting definition of "everyone" haha
Honestly I think he genuinely didn’t realize the point was to be bribed for a 5 star review and then he was too embarrassed to admit his mistake so he just double-downed
Y'know I was on Gaël' side at first, he has the right to judge the restaurant to whatever fits his standards, but then he started talking... and became more inconsistent with each justification. His real review was 3 stars, but he changed it to 4, when questioned on that he found it to be a personal attack on his "goodwill". I'm fine with him lowering his review to a four because he perceived some flaw with the restroom, that's okay (It can even be constrictive if commented on), but when it becomes a matter of spitefulness towards the workers for asking a question and feeling like it makes him more of an individual with an unshakable resolve; despite changing his opinion every second on the matter, it's hard to be on his side.
@@soyjoyy No they get paid to set it up, stock shelves, and then check people out. Nobody is paid to follow customers around like a parent with a toddler and put back every little thing and fix every little mess they leave behind. That’s on customers to be decent human beings and act like an adult.
@@soyjoyy Sorry I forgot the context was a restaurant: The staff are paid to _do their job_ which is cooking and waiting and bussing. Cleaning the bathrooms is part of someone’s job but unless that’s their _only_ task, they’re definitely doing something else like you know, _the rest of their job_ and can’t constantly babysit the bathrooms
I don't know Gael, I was asked to leave a review by my previous letting agent. We had major issues with them in the past but I was moving out halfway through the month and they went out of their way to offer half a month's rent back (which is by no means guaranteed). Of course I gave them 5 Stars because leaving a review of how I probably felt would have been a giant slap in the face after they just did that for me.

No because he wants his review to accurately reflect his visit, which is why he omits the part he really enjoyed- wait...

I wonder how many 3 and 4 star reviews turned into 5 star reviews for a brownie.
That's two embarrassing Brownie situations . Both briefly humiliating for everyone involved.
Shoulda said it was closer to a 5 than a 3.
Gaël says his head might’ve hurt cuz he hadn’t eaten-> proceeds to order barely any food because he wasn’t hungry 🤨🤨
"I have principles, but I'd leave them a 5/5 if they asked me to. They want to know how to improve which is why I didn't mention how the food I wasn't impressed by could be improved.

@@Rhubarb120Uh yeah? Restaurants go by 5 star default for customer reviews. That’s why she was asking that. Corporate assumes if a guest doesn’t give 5 stars you fucked up and so she was asking what was wrong, because that’s literally her job.
This needs to be remade into an adum and pals video😂😂😂 this is perfect 😂
Hard to have a principled honest review when it wasn't going to be given without reward. It was a social contract, 2 entities who trade basically nothing in return for each other's satisfaction. It cost Gael nothing for the extra star and by his own admission he is not a professional reviewer keeping integrity. Why that last star couldn't be given probably doesn't have a logical reason, just a stubborn refusal to acknowledge and follow social contracts when everyone else does.
He literally explained the reason in the video. You should watch it, I recommend it.
Also, what in the world is a social contract? Sounds absolutely ridiculous. You have an interesting definition of "everyone" haha
Honestly I think he genuinely didn’t realize the point was to be bribed for a 5 star review and then he was too embarrassed to admit his mistake so he just double-downed
Gaël: “Isn’t that crazy? Like, we live in a society…”
🤡
Y'know I was on Gaël' side at first, he has the right to judge the restaurant to whatever fits his standards, but then he started talking... and became more inconsistent with each justification. His real review was 3 stars, but he changed it to 4, when questioned on that he found it to be a personal attack on his "goodwill". I'm fine with him lowering his review to a four because he perceived some flaw with the restroom, that's okay (It can even be constrictive if commented on), but when it becomes a matter of spitefulness towards the workers for asking a question and feeling like it makes him more of an individual with an unshakable resolve; despite changing his opinion every second on the matter, it's hard to be on his side.
He did goalpost moving on his own standards
The bathroom complaint isn’t even that valid, it’s like complaining a store looks like a mess. It sure wasn’t the staff that did that…
@@DeathnoteBB But it sure was the staff's job to take care of that. That's what they get paid for.
@@soyjoyy No they get paid to set it up, stock shelves, and then check people out. Nobody is paid to follow customers around like a parent with a toddler and put back every little thing and fix every little mess they leave behind. That’s on customers to be decent human beings and act like an adult.
@@soyjoyy Sorry I forgot the context was a restaurant:
The staff are paid to _do their job_ which is cooking and waiting and bussing. Cleaning the bathrooms is part of someone’s job but unless that’s their _only_ task, they’re definitely doing something else like you know, _the rest of their job_ and can’t constantly babysit the bathrooms
Scoot's review killed me
This was epic.. i loved hearing it when I watched SH3 the first time, great to listen to it again.
He's acting like you can't say 'I only had these items' or that every review is made after eating a majority of the menu. Bad dog.
Watched this while baking brownie edibles
What a ride this was, it was just getting progressively funnier.
I would leave the 5 star review not because of some unspoken social contract but to avoid any further interaction.
this is my favorite part of 13 reasons why season 2
I love how everyone just shut on Gael LOL
I want to see this animated too 😊
I love how everyone bullied one man for giving the wrong review. 4/5
I don't know Gael, I was asked to leave a review by my previous letting agent. We had major issues with them in the past but I was moving out halfway through the month and they went out of their way to offer half a month's rent back (which is by no means guaranteed). Of course I gave them 5 Stars because leaving a review of how I probably felt would have been a giant slap in the face after they just did that for me.
