Sometimes it helps to let the company/store/restaurant know if someone is publicly slamming them on social media.
That's true.

The problem here sounds like a Private Message was sent and that was e-mailed to the company. Private Messages are often meant to be Private.

You never know just whom you are talking on TOTV unless you know the poster personally.

I have sent people some Private Messages which I hope stayed Private.
