As a business owner for more than 26 years, I can say that I have never seen as much unethical, immoral, and overall disgusting behavior by these "entitled trolls" as I have seen lately. This new and rapidly growing breed of “Bad Shoppers” preys upon the small business owner by threatening him or her with poor reviews on various social media platforms. These threats, which boil down to acts of extortion, demand that businesses give free items, discounts, or other services or risk being blasted on multiple social media platforms. 

The days of “Buy it, Break it, Return it” are over. These people, who start off their complaints with “I have been doing this for XX years” or “I bought it but after using it, I changed my mind and want my money back” or “If you don’t take this back I will just file a chargeback with…” or “I am going to tell all my friends about you and you will go out of business..” are coming to an end.  

Sure, we cannot stop chargebacks from happening, and we cannot stop people from posting lies online, but what we can do is provide a central location where businesses can respond with facts. We can provide an online platform where businesses can finally stand up and defend their hard work against these low-life trolls. The internet offers ratings for services, products, and companies. We will now balance that scale by providing ratings and feedback for bad shoppers as well. 

The time has come to take back the social platforms and take back our online support for local businesses by turning the tables on these pathetic trolls. The time has come to hold these trolls accountable for their actions, lies, and unethical practices by making them answer for what they have done. I encourage all business owners, employees, and even shoppers who have the desire to help local online retailers to stand up and join our efforts.
