    If the food was great, shouldn’t that fact alone give at least one star more? Why are people do fixated with 1 and 5 stars? Don’t they realize there are three other possibilities to rank? I’m upset.

      I actually don’t pay much attention to 1 or 5 star reviews. It filters out a lot of useless reviews.

      If I do look at one stars, I’m usually just looking for trends of people having specific issues. Or if the overall rank is being dragged down by stupidity. For example I saw like five people leave one star reviews in one weekend because the restaurant was closed due to a water main break…
