Oh I didn’t know that, they can’t just wave it away?

The email is 100% optional though. Also customer can decline a receipt.

… they’re just underpaid and under a lot of pressure from management to try multiple times and in some cases they even get written up for not doing it because it’s deemed part of their job. They hate it just as much as you.

I’ve worked retail and call centre jobs and I can assure you this is many people (at least those who are not too exhausted to care). These workers are constantly pressured to enshitify their service at the expense of theirs and the customer’s experience.

I haven’t worked a counter in over a decade, so can only imagine it’s got worse.

This is sadly very common where I’m from, except you don’t even get a discount from it. I’ve taken to just politely declining, since I’m sure the person working the cash is probably pressured to get people to give their personal info.

“And can get your email?”

“No thank you”

“I need your email for the receipt”

“I appreciate it but no thank you”

It’s a slight non sequitur while still being polite. Saying “no thank you” when someone is pressuring you works well in many situations.

If I’m being charitable I could presume that they left them so as to not disrupt sting operations

Yeah but not deep enough for a writing community, so here we are.

Worldbuilding aka lore

Yeah that’s relatable. It’s so easy to pick apart someone else’s words when you’re just passively observing, but when it’s you in the moment…

You don’t write your grocery list on a bit of paper stuck to the fridge…? I thought that was downright universal

Did they mean “and be doing so insinuate” I wonder? Initiate makes some sense too, just odd phrasing.

Anyway! I’m getting sidetracked lol! Haven’t even watched the video yet. Thanks for sharing the quote

How dare you cut a thread short, that could have gone on for pages and pages of bikeshedding, with your one truthful and incisive comment.

I just like the sound they make. Low key asmr

That’s undeniably a good thing, but I’m still cynical that capital will ever find a truly “ethical” niche to exploit.

Of course that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to legally constrain it as much as possible, as I’ve just learned has been done in the EU, thank you!

Oh nice, if I’m understanding you

Facebook’s capital and access to oceans of customer data sure isn’t going to die, though. Maybe mutate
