There's a big difference between a company providing bad service on one occasion, and a company actively blocking someone for days or weeks.

Don't imagine a restaurant providing the wrong food, burnt, and still charging full price. Imagine a restaurant taking the customer's iphone and keeping it in a safe for a month, employees ignoring them and telling them to leave. Are you really going to see many stories like that on Yelp?

Agreed. My biggest issue wasn't that an error occurred, but the fact that there was no recourse available in a timely manner. I tried to be patient and follow recommended support procedures (post to the forums, etc) but losing email for over a week because Google has an internal issue and couldn't be bothered to resolve it didn't sit well with me (thus the post to CTOVision).
