On all of my trips to Vietnam since the pandemic, I have been asked to leave positive Google reviews on many commercial establishments I visited - shops, hotels, restaurants. They often thrust a QR code in front of you, or offer a discount/freebie. One young man was upfront and asked me to mention him by name, because there was a staff competition being run by management and the person getting the most positive mentions would get a bonus. I guess this is the nature of modern day capitalism?!
