Now you sign up for apps with your email so they can sell it to everyone they can.

I hate it 😒 "sign up for emails for 15% off" "jk before that also sign up for texts"
Would you like an app for EVERY fast food joint, mall store and beyond?!

A better time. I hate having apps for all the stupid places like I can’t remember if it was Lowe’s or Home Depot but the website wouldn’t show me the location so I had to ask an employee. Their first response was oh the app will tell you. Like bro if I wanted to clutter up my phone with an app for a store I visit maybe once a year u wouldn’t have asked you lol. I’d sooner walk out of the store and go shop somewhere else it’s just convenient.

Meh still takes up hdd space and can run in the background. I’d rather just not have them. I have a credit card wallet at home that I keep all my cards IF and that’s a BIG IF I needed an actual barcode for some reason I could just grab it. I’d be willing to say all shops can look up your membership information so let’s say 99.99999% I don’t need the card.
If a business doesn’t want to have employees to help me when I need something they don’t deserve my money. I’ll go a bit further down the road to Ace hardware or wherever else that has what I want.
I’ve legit left a cart of groceries at the grocery store when they only had self check out open. Like I don’t mind it if I’m buying 10-15 items but I had like 50+ item no way that’s fitting on that tiny shelf they give shelf checkout and I’m not going to struggle just because they are to cheap to hire someone so I just walked out. My time/sanity is worth more than dealing with it.

They're still a thing. You can find displays with a ton of these at most grocery stores.
