I try to almost always tip in cash which means I mark 0% tip, and I never give star reviews. One exception for a review is the smiley face vs sad face at airport restrooms. I've never marked sad face yet but if there was an issue I would gladly and that will simply let staff know there is something amiss in that spot.

Agreed. These customer satisfaction surveys where anything less than 5 stars or 10/10 is a fail is just as dystopian as tipping culture.

Seriously. It's like if you had an insecure partner who incessantly asks you 10x a day "How do I look?" and if you say ANYTHING other than "FANTASTIC!" you know they're going to react really bad.

Except it's worse since if you ever give an honest answer it's not you they'll berate, the bosses will just flagellate their underlings who might not even be truly responsible for the "low" rating.

Always rate negatively, and if possible supply that you are doing so because rudely getting asked to rate them at an inopportune moment sours your experience however great it may have been.
