We live in the sticks, so fortunately this is not an everyday occurrence. Occasional trips to Metropolis, however, find us treated like second class citizens if we don't toe the line. I do own a cell phone but am not one that keeps it perpetually glued to his left hand. Actually, it's turned off 99.9% of the time and lives atop the microwave.
Dinning out now, even in some fine establishments, appears to be forcing one into the "app" world, and I'm resisting. Three issues: 1. Specialized orders like rare, medium, well-done, with/without some condiment. 2. Serving up one's personal data, home address, and financial institutions (i.e. credit/debit cards #'s, phone #'s, and e-mail accounts). I damned sure don't want daily e-mails from Benihana, Burger King, Big Boy, or anyone else on the specialty or deal of the hour, and 3. the requirement to pack around a $100/month implement just to interact in this world. Are we expected to die if our battery crashes?
I recently hit up a Dominos in Boise, and the clerk/cashier (an English-speaking white, Angelo Saxon Protestant believe it not) essentially replied with nothing but a blank stare when I asked for a Medium Deluxe from their menu while handing over the proper dollars and cents. Damned near like I had leprosy or something. A manager had to come over to save the day. I realize with rising wages etc, businesses are attempting to streamline and eliminate positions, but don't see it fitting in with service industries.
Anyone else resisting? Most of the idiots at McD’s and BK couldn’t take your order without a picture of the Big Mack or Whopper on their cash register. Much less make change. 🤪 Thats why I prefer McDs, they have the kiosk that I can put in my order, make sure its what I want Only time I go there is for breakfast. Order a #3 in the drive-thru. It’s a bacon egg and cheese biscuit meal. Hard to Fugg up. But they still get the drink wrong about half the time. 🤪

I always order 2 sausage mcmuffins, no egg, and a large coke. Half the time there are eggs Usually if I do mcds for breakfast its a saturday so my dog is with me, he doesnt mind the eggs.....

It ain't just confused old men, I'm 46 and have no idea about this restaurant app.
I do however know how to enter the phone number when checking out at the grocery store.

F**K all aps. I am particularly pissed off by the ads that give you a deal if you use THE AP that is not available to you if you don't use it.

An addendum:
My kid lives in downtown Portland. If I want to go into a downtown business or his apartment building that does $10million+ annually, I have to use a phone or credit card to feed a parking meter right in front of the door. No cash allowed.
If it was my store, I'd be inclined to buy the parking and limit/enforce duration. I WILL NOT be going back.
There are no parking meters, period, within 150 miles of our home.

Im not an anti social boomer…
But the less folks I have to deal with the better..
If that means..
Self checkout
Scan and Go ( sams club)
Food apps
Delivery apps
Pump my own gas
Then i’m happy.

It blows my fuqkin mind evry time you pull up to tha mcds drive thru speeka “will you be using our mobile app 2day” JFC you inbred nigkra I’m in the fuqkin drive thru🤦♂️🤷♂️ And the answer is “Yeah, my order number is AB12”. And my McMuffin is $2 instead of $4. I go straight to the pickup window and am outta there. Know what I hate? The arsehat in front of me, usually two women, who sits there and hmms and hhaws at the menu for five minutes. You know, that menu that hasn’t really changed in 50 years! Order your breakfast and get your arse moving.
Yours in Liberty,

Mutha fuukas would go full blown panic mode if there purina dog chow couldn’t be amazoned to there front porch I guarantee you that 90 percent of the old tough guys here don't have a 50 pound sack of rice, flour or sugar in their house. I'm in the 10% and I'm not even old. Or at least I don't think I am.
