Monday Morning Readers Round-Up

Now that we are media darlings, the Consumerist tip line has been flooded with pleas of help, reasonable complaints and the ravings of lunatics… and, as usual, we want more!

For every ten ‘tips’ we get that is just some crazy lady’s rant about Applebee’s giving her food poisoning (hello? It’s Applebee’s.) or a twenty page forwarded email exchange which we’ll never bother to sort through, there’s at least one true gem from an outraged consumer that can be added to our crown.

Because really, it’s not Popken or myself who are getting our voices augmented here: it’s you guys, writing us in and taking turns up on the soapbox. Keep it up: this site would be nothing without you. And don’t feel compelled to be negative. We will always want to hear when a company treats you right, just as much as we want to hear when a company treats you wrong. We should be encouraging great companies as much as we lambast their evil doppelgangers.
