AI promo posts trigger backlash as Vermont bagel shop hit with one-star reviews
A bagel shop in Burlington, Vermont, drew customer backlash after posting social media promotions made with AI. Myer\'s Bagels used AI-edited composite images and rewritten review copy, but customers said the posts did not match the store\'s real appearance. Two posts drew about 25 to 30 comments each, and some customers left one-star ratings on Google. The owner deleted the posts, apologised and said the shop would adjust its marketing based on customer response.
