Or…3rd option. Revert back to Windows XP.

I’m on just a regular browser. Can I do this? I don’t use apps.

If they’re talking about Whole Foods, it’s because you walk in there, and you’re like “ok, let me get some chicken, let me get some porkchops, and let me get some cereal.”

The prices on all that shit is INSANE. I saw a 5 pack of pork chops for $19. Then I walked over to the chicken. $22. Then I walked over to the cereal. $8.

Total money I spent that day: $0.

Total times I’ve been back since: 0.

These companies have lost sight long ago on the fact that you can do all the bullshit in the world to improve behind the scenes processes, but if people walk in and see THOSE prices, when aldis sells the same chicken for $8, porkchops for $6, and cereal for $3? Fuck it. I don’t give a shit if your chickens are cruelty free grassfed. I’ll kick a chicken and fart in their mouth right now if it means food is cheaper! People out here having to choose between food or rent. Yeah, the high price businesses will suffer. The cheap businesses will flourish.

Here’s what I don’t understand.

McDonalds has an app. McDonalds also does mobile orders like ubereats. Why not use your own app to allow ordering from the app, so you can be 5 minutes away, order, and when you get there it’s already paid for, you just pick it up.

It eliminates extra fees for customers willing to pick up their own food. It eliminates the line. It reduces the wrong orders (as most mistakes happen from the register worker not ringing it up right to begin with). And no AI needed.

Why is this so hard?

A whole 7 days??? Gosh gee willakers!!! You think people can uphold a boycott a whole 7 days???

Look. Boycotts are effective, but you gotta be stubborn. It’s gotta be “boycott from now on” with no end date.

Otherwise, it’ll just look like normal fluctuations in their business.

“Oh, this week was slightly down…ah, but then it stopped. We’re good!”

But if you boycott forever, then their numbers continuously go down. And if you get other people boycotting, those numbers go down faster.

THAT’S how you make an impact.
