The Trump Presidency: Sweet/Sweat 16

Social media.

Little weird that it triggers for passersby. I've never seen that, but I use the default mapping service on my phone, so I don't recall ads of any sort.

Google maps is always asking for feedback via notifications (not SMS) on places I've been at or near.

People who spent money at the resort, and might do so again if their likes are taken into account.

Do you seriously not understand the role of customer feedback surveys in the success of a business venture?

Oh brother.

Don't you think they would give customer feedback satisfaction surveys to actual customers and not people whose phones pinged in the area?

Have you no imagination as to what other possibilities such data collection might be aimed at?

I was recently (reluctantly) in Miami for work. On the way to a meeting I stopped at the intersection in front of the Trump Dorral golf resort. I had my GPS ap turned on as this was my first time driving in Miami. Now, I'm getting texts for me to take a survey about my stay at Trump's resort. Can you imagine the humiliation? To be associated with his kind? He's not really even a person. I'd never give that sort of scum my money let alone allow decent people to think I was in any way associated with his property. Fortunately, so far the messages haven't come up when I was around friends and real Americans. You'd think me responding by calling Trump the son of a pig ****** whore and an uppity boy who needs to learn his place around his betters would have stopped the texts. Still, since I've been given an avenue to insult Trump and his family, I'll continue to take it.

Patriotism is hurting Trump every chance you get.

Have you considered taking the survey and giving them a very poor review?

So what kinds of surveys were triggered for driving past a location that suggested they were a customer satisfaction survey?

Maybe I've just learned to ignore it. I haven't noticed.

The ability to ignore such annoying requests is surely a boon.

I'd take to to see the questions.

Trump almost certainly tosses out bad reviews if they truly are collecting customer data. Maybe they are padding the numbers: Toss out bad reviews, keep good ones, and use random passerbys to fill up the data base.

Not weird at all, actually. Better to cast a wide net.

Well, I meant it was weird because I haven't seen that happen, but perhaps I just haven't noticed or something.

But I'd say it's also weird because were I a business owner, I would want reviews from those who visited my business and not from those who didn't I don't think I'd like to increase the former by also increasing the latter. Again, maybe lots of businesses do this sort of thing. I just haven't heard of it.

I suspect strong psychotropic drugs were involved.

But it still made enough sense to Donny that he retweeted it.

It still made more sense that a lot of what Donny says. The beginning of his sentences seldom have any connection to their end.

McGee is a stuffed shirt academic who wouldn't be caught in the 'hood trying to call himself a "Brotha". He'd be laughed off the block. He's auditioning for a job with the Trump campaign. With Omarosa gone they need a spook to sit by the door.

Circular.

What the hell does that mean? What is circular there?

Ah, never mind. I recall the last time I asked you what you meant. I don't need any more dull memes.

...sentences??

A wide net of what?

Random strangers with no experience in the thing you are asking their opinion on?

Sure, why not! Anything to boost the numbers!

Don't think I have ever received a notification for driving past, only places I have stopped at or nearby. They usually ask something like Please rate you experience or How was you trip at store/restaurant name. I generally just swipe them away.

But they are asking you to rate an experience you never had. Am I reading that right? Why do you think they are doing that?

It's all about the numbers. If 20,000 people responded to this "survey" rather than the couple of dozen who actually stayed there, it becomes "popular" by social media definition. They probably all get put on TripAdvisor.
