What are the fuckingiest retarded moment of app/ QR bastardary?

[NotaNuffian]

I have so many food apps, and not just from delivery services, RESTAURANT APPs!!!

It is at this point I ask myself when is too much app?

I had plans to use my old phone (still working but with green lines) for QR menus, idea got stopped because lugging two phones (a main and a sub) is very stupid.

I can handle QR menus, I cannot however, handle the asinine amount of apps and membership. Yes I know it is for retaining customer.

I had to install an app and make an account to get a haircut once

Had that too.

Granted, I only go to the same shop always because the barber keeps his mouth shut.

Tried to go to a local restaurant that I'd been to many times in the past, they told me at the door that they only took reservations through the app now and no walk-ins.

Said okay, got the app, struggled through their stupid registration and tried to make a reservation only for the app to tell me they were booked for the next two days.

All while the waiter stood there, not saying anything.

My brother's Japanese class require to scan QR for homework on each page, and it's smaller than my tip

My barber doesn't require that. And if there is an app, I eat elsewhere

I hate when I download an app... only for it to tell me I need to download another app to use the app.

I went into a Wendy's the other day instead of the drive thru, so I could discard my garbage in their bins. (No bin in drive thru anymore...another annoyance)

Anyways, the line wasn't that long, but after 10-15 minutes they only served one customer in line but 6 mobile orders went through. The woman standing four people behind me, pulled out her phone, added the app, then ordered her food.

She got served before I did...

Learn how to cook, and then all you need is a grocery app, unless you have a reasonably priced grocery store nearby and no offspring. I rarely shop in-person for multiple reasons, and one reason is that the grocery stores & farmer's market within walking distance of me cost double or more for basic things like cucumbers, onions, etc. Another reason is that the brick-and-mortar grocery stores near me have loads of impulse items at child eye level.

Yeah, I'm just going to let my mom cut my hair and learn how to cut my child's hair if necessary. My mom learned how to cut hair during the pandemic. Well, she did it a few times when I was a little kid, but she learned better techniques during the pandemic.

Had that before.

But the funny thing happen was that it can go both ways for me as I order from the app.

Either I get my food first or the workers prioritize the counters and ignoring all app orders. The latter happened and I recalled both the riders and some app users like myself screamed at the counter.

In my country we have a national qr system, so you can just use any mobile banking app (or something that can be used to pay.) and use it to just scan the qr and pay. Thank god.

I just don't use them if I can help it.

I tried to get a book out of the library once a few weeks back. A local one, not a school one. Now, I had the first 6 books in the series, but the local bookstore wouldn't be getting the 7th one for another month or so because of some supply chain issue and I discovered the local library had 3 copies. I tried to check one out, was told it was in reserve....and so I immediately asked why wasn't it removed from the shelves then? In response, I was told "if only I had bothered to check the libraries app, I would have known."

Who. In. The. Fuck. Checks. A. App. In. A. Fucking. Library. To. See. If. A. Book. Is. Available. When. They. Can. See. It. On. The. Fucking. Shelves. Right. In. Their. Face????????????

Who? And she still didn't address my question about the book being on the shelves.

So, trying my best to avoid a public argument, I download the app. I discover a day later that one of the 3 copies of the book, whoever reserved it, canceled their reservation. So, me being normal about checking out books at the library, I immediately drive to the library to get the book. Never once consider giving the app another thought.

HOWEVER, by the time I get there, someone has already reserved the book AGAIN. It took me 25 minutes to drive there. LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR. Lady behind the counter asks me why I didn't reserve the book through the app since I've already installed it. I was so annoyed with her and the situation, (and still am btw) that I didn't bother responding. I just uninstalled the app, and now no longer intend to go to that library ever again.

Some things just shouldn't need apps. A local library is one of those things.
