To deal with the public anymore? I keep seeing and hearing commercials about all these great deals on food, merchandise, etc. but ONLY if you order thru their app and pick up yourself! Have we now become a wallet, a profit but not really a customer? I purposely don’t do business with those businesses who only give “app” deals. Don’t want to see me, you don’t need to see my $!

Signed up for the gym. Said they were not giving out the little laminated cards with ur number that goes boop-boop when you check in. Said that you now have to get the app and check in with ur smart phone. I said, “Not gonna happen.”
Went home, looked at the app which was a total TOTAL invasion of privacy (including wanting access to your pictures, location services, etc., among other things), total data collection via your phone.
Then I sent an email to corporate accusing them of prejudice against poor people who can’t afford a smart phone, etc. The next day or so, my local gym called me and said I could come in and get a laminated boop-boop card. Apparently corporate called them.
Three take aways…maybe four.
Fantastic! Way to deal with the techno nazis. They just assume everyone has a smart phone, everyone loves apps. I applaud your efforts and success! And thanks for the excellent tips.
