refer to this edit please.

I can understand that comment may not be a proper noun in its context (I only put it down because it is THE comment, a specific comment, making it proper.), but why is the comma necessary?

isn't a comma meant to be a pause, like, to take a breather? It seems too early to put one there IMO. It is also an unnecessary comma because it is before the dependent clause "before."

to give an example.

The manager offered a discount after I complained about the service. Correct

As one can see, the comma makes it look a little strange, and to the reader, may have a strange way of how it is said in a sentence.

thanks for reading.
