Having to join a club, or sign up for an app, or sacrifice your data in some other way in order to not pay 2x the price for everything. Yeah I am sick and tired of that shit. It seriously makes me angry on a primal level.

I got a new Kroger card but never filled out the form with my name and email, etc. It works fine. Fuck those assholes. I refuse to sign up for their email coupons, however. Iโll starve to death when grocery stores switch to RFID checkout.
And fuck digital menus at restaurants. Come on, pat. The pandemic was to data privacy what 9/11 was to civil liberties.

I hate the digital menus. I'm out at a restaurant I'm not really trying to sit on my phone more than I already do.

You canโt just call a place anymore to ask a question. Been calling Labcorp and Quest locations all morning and itโs just phone robo menus. Quest has literally zero options to get to a person, when you select the option for more help it just has a message โplease go to quest diagnostics.com/helpโ and hangs up. Labcorp seems like the person option could work but it just goes to hold music for three rings then tells you to leave a message, which I did twice and have gotten zero response.
Donโt have a phone number if you donโt have someone to answer the phone, nobody uses those phone tree messages to learn information thatโs easily found on the website already. Itโs just the veneer of customer service while offloading all the unpaid time and energy onto customers rather than paid employees.

Dude, Iโm in the process of trying to go back to school so Iโm not working a back breaking brewery job when Iโm older. I enrolled at my local community college and asked to speak to an advisor, and the lady behind the desk directed me to a website. I told her I didnโt want to do that because I get really frustrated and overwhelmed with stuff like that so she gave me a phone number, which after a series of annoying prompts told me to either go to that same website or download an app. I still have an iPhone 8 and the only apps I really have on it are for banking, my transit pass, an app to help me keep track of how long I havenโt been drinking, and three apps I need for work. TL;DR I really resent being forced to do what used to be someone elseโs job under the guise of โempowering the consumerโ or โcustomer serviceโ. Like cool if Iโm doing someone elseโs job Iโm going to start sending invoices to every company that forced me to so that shit because I do not fucking work there.

digital menus are great, quick, easy, less paper and if the restaurant is out of anything/wants to add anything back they can do it in seconds. real boomer energy to be bothered by this in anyway

I think digital menus suck and itโs even worse when thereโs an ordering system in place and Iโm still supposed to tip? I also think restaurants getting away with not paying people right because customers are obligated to tip is bullshit but still.

Everything indeed sucks ass now. I will probably use this thread to rail against contemporary life, and will make a good faith effort to avoid takes like โHR wonโt let me be casually racist anymore.โ The woods porn thread got me thinking about a lot of stuff. I only ever found wild porn behind a former Food Lion building while smoking a joint with friends at 17. We all came

I wen't to an all you can eat sushi restaurant the other day that forced you to order with a digital menu. I don't have data on my phone and they wouldn't let me use their wifi. They brought me their ipad. Like, I'm not here to eat at your restaurant and watch Netflix(pornhub) on my phone and use up all your bandwith.

A lot of food just sucks now. Grocery and restaurants
Like you can tell the over-processing, shortcuts, mass production, cost cutting etc. whatever has been done, so much just doesnโt taste like it used to and I donโt think itโs my tastebuds changing
Even in season produce. Shouldnโt have to add a ton of stuff to make quality produce taste good
Sad

Digital menus are just a thinly-veiled means to collecting customer data. Its a solution to a nonexistent problem. The customer does not benefit in any way from using a digital menu. And its always the trendy gentrifier restaurants that do it.

Serious question: how small can food manufacturers make their packages before they have to stop doing that practice? I bought โfamily sizeโ graham crackers for something called sโmores the other day (pm me for the recipeโit will blow your mind), and thereโs no way it was bigger than the regular size package of graham crackers from five or ten years ago. Will we eventually get a single cracker in a box for $4.99?

Twix used to taste so much better. The caramel isn't as good as it used to be. Also reeses are so much more inconsistent than ever before. Sometimes the ratio is off and also the peanut butter is chalky.
