If any store starts requiring a fucking app to make a purchase, that store has permanently lost my business.

You have not earned the privilege of being installed on my phone. Get the fuck out of here.

Just putting the products in a locked case is enough to get me to shop elsewhere.

Its 2024and you go to Mcdonalds drivethrough. First thing you hear:

Whats your order code

No good morning. Its straight to whats the order code for the app on your phone.

Thankfully you can be equally rude back and place your order.

Next year though? Dont expect the human to stay around for long.
