Remember when you didn't need an app for everything??!!!
My new wheelchair arrived. The box advises me to download their app. (If I need an app to tell me how to roll along in it, I'm too stupid to be out in public!!)
I am SO SICK of "needing" to download an app for everything!
Few months back I went to Wal-Mart for a new crockpot. Now, waaaay back in the good ol' days before Adam and Eve ate the apple, store items wore a nifty-swifty price tag that told you what they cost. After God tossed us from the garden, stores invented little price check scanners and scattered them around the fllor.
When I asked the Wal-Mart clerk to scan it for me, he said, "You can go online and download our app for that."
So, basically, go wait on myself!
I know I can - but I should not have to clutter my phone with an app I don't need just to find out how much something costs.
I went to Target instead.
Went to Pizza Hut and asked about specials. Instead of just telling me, the cashier told me to scan a square on the counter display sign with my phone. I told her I didn't have my phone with me. She said, "Oh, ok..." AND WALKED OFF.
I went to the Mexican restaurant across the street instead.
I hate that so much is based on apps. EVERYTHING has its very own app!
My REFRIGERATOR has an app! It keeps track of how many times it's opened during the day and sends me a report at the end of it! Why does it think I even want to know that??? I didn't download the app.
My washing machine has an app and so does my dryer! My dishwasher has an app. My toaster oven has an app.
I didn't even bother looking them up to see what they do.
Lowe's Home Improvement insulation has one of those squares you can scan with your phone. COME ON!!! You cut off a pice and stuff it in the wall. Do we need to get this up close and personal with it?????
THEY DON'T JUST FUCK YOU AT THE DRIVE-THROUGH ANYMORE!!!!
