>One of the problems with Yelp is that burger king has 5 stars, because 'everyone' loves burger king.
Funny you would use that as an example! (Besides it being completely untrue). I avoid certain Burger King locations because I know how poorly they perform. Meanwhile, the reviews on Yelp actually reflect that franchise service can vary.
Let's address the pompous overtone of your post implying that fast food cannot be "good" and therefore should not receive 5-stars. Oddly enough your apparent attitude creates one of the major problems with rating systems. You seem to be a customer looking for a Michelin rated meal while ordering food served on a paper plate.
If I want fast food, 5 stars means something different than if I want a multi-course meal, means something different than if I want a slice of pizza, means something different if I want ethnic food.
