Because Caninope may be in that room with you.

So if I want chicken for dinner, go to the butcher and he says "you'll have pork and you'll bloody well like it", I should just shrug and accept?
...positive feedback (sic)

Another reason is theft. Once there are no prices, everything will be up to grabs for any individual. But what if you don't want to give your strawberries to that shady guy over there? Three words: rioting and anarchy.
The last reason is the loss of incentive. See, people create businesses to get enough money to afford luxuries. Once there will no longer be a need for money, businesses will collapse, since people will just go and take what they want.
Also, counting positive reviews as revenue is a horrible idea, simply because humans are too lazy to take the time to get on some store's website and make a positive review.

This so much this. While there is an occasional compliment, businesses are mainly spurred into action by seething negative reviews.

If you don't work...then it's doubtful you'll receive much positive feedback (money). If you don't have much positive feedback (money) then you won't have much influence over how society's limited resources are used.
