All his wife wanted was a new battery for his watch...the store told him the watch was broken so he could buy a new one. When she brought his old watch home, he put another battery in and it worked fine. All he stated on his Twitter was that the store is try to rip you off. Hell Twitter or not....this shop owner feels like he can stop the guy from even telling his friends that they were trying to rip him off. I don't use Twitter, or even like it, but for this situation, I would love to use something like that, especially against a chain type store.... we spend enough money as consumers, it is about time that we finally have a global "Word of Mouth" against this type of business practice. I will gladly pay top dollar for quality service, but if you are just going to try and make a larger sale by telling me a lie, I will spread the word right away. It used to be, satisfied customers will tell 2 people, but unsatisfied customers will tell 20. Now, it can be satisfied customers will tell 2 to 20, but unsatisfied will tell the world.

The shopkeeper is completely out of line. Instead of trying to provide for a customer, he threatened to call the police. He deserves all the bad press he gets. I don't use twitter..... but it is popular enough to have its own anti-twitter troll on this site. Maybe I'll check it out. I would have left it up. The shopkeeper is completely out of line.

It sounds like the shopkeeper is just completly ignorant. If your tweet is coming up in third, then he obviously doesn't have a good Internet presence and should execute a plan to be more "known" on the Internets. If the police are going to decide to control your free speech (I guess depending on what country you are in), then I'd battle it. Him going to the police is probably the absolute worse thing he could have done... Well maybe 2nd worse thing he could have done.
