What we don't know is if any of this is true. Disgruntled employees tend to
"get even" with management, often in childish ways. In industry, they call
OSHA and complain about safety violations. OSHA must respond and they
usually know when the complainer is serious and when they are being
spiteful. The restaurant review host should do some checking too.

The reviewer may have been fired over his drug use. Or he got caught
banging the owner's wife. Or he was drinking up the profits at the bar. We
just don't know.
