Instagram makes it extremely frustrating without an account. Many times I have checked a small business's opening times on Google Maps only to arrive and find them closed... the only place they reliably post their times is on Instagram.

I gave up and got Instagram.

Only way to go is to leave a 1 star review letting them know they need to publish things outside Instagram

That is insanely awful take. Why would anyone review something negatively without actually checking it out?

He did check it out, and it was closed, because they don't post their hours outside of a user-hostile social networking site people shouldn't use and they left their hours misrepresented elsewhere. Poor customer experiences result in poor reviews.

At least he did them the courtesy of telling them exactly what the problem was.

I guess we need a Nitter for Instagram?
