The place I get fresh baked bread from has switched to requiring the use of an app if you want to get every 10th loaf for free. Name, address, date of birth. For ******* bread?! You're offering one of the simplest items conceivable. Out of all businesses, you don't get to data mine from me. I'm not giving you my firstborn for some focaccia.

I called my auto insurance company today. After about 10 minutes of speaking with the automated system, I was finally able to talk to a human. I gave that person my name, SSN, password, and phone #. All were correct, but my phone # was my old #, and she needed to send me a code via text message. Since I did not have my old phone to send a code, their system would not allow me to make a transaction. So I wasted 20 minutes. Had to go on line, enter the system, and update my phone#. That took another 10 minutes. So it took 30 minutes just to access the system before I could even begin a new auto policy. Then I spent another 20 minutes to actually add the policy. 50 minutes!

This kind of thing happens to me a lot, partly because of my somewhat antiquated technology (hey, I'm on a computer right now!) partly because I'm not very savvy about this stuff, and partly because a lot of these things are just not very user friendly. They're just not.

If I were formerly a notorious, but now reformed, donut thief, I would want the receipt to show law enforcement that tails me 24 hours a day that I am now on the up and up.

I understand the argument against (and for) going cashless, but for the love of God, please - nobody argue with the part-time hourly employee behind the counter that they have a legal obligation to accept cash.

They dont care, they dont have authority, and they sure as hell dont get paid enough to listen to theoretical blowhards.

As many know, there is an area in the Pacific Ocean the size of Rhode Island comprised of nothing but plastic refuse. I hope some bright minds are trying to come up with a bright solution to eliminate it.
