OK, I am now officially off the survey ramp.

When did hotels, car rental agencies, airlines and (I swear) restaurants get the idea that by virtue of their providing a product or service to us, we've agreed to become their unpaid research assistants?

If I've had an exceptional experience, or even a pretty good one, I'll post something on TripAdvisor. If I've had an especially bad one, I'll also post on TripAdvisor. Otherwise, leave me alone!!!

Just ranting here ...
