I like my groceries bagged to my specifications.

This is 100% the reason I use self checkout. I really can’t stand my groceries being bagged in a way that essentially guarantees that something is going to be smashed, ripped, or spilled. Or that the paper bag is going to rip itself to shreds as I try to carry it in.

I most recently had a guy shove way more heavy shit into a paper bag than was even remotely reasonable and then tell me, “you gotta grab it from the bottom, the handles always rip off.” And I’m just standing there thinking to myself that I almost never have handles rip off the bags when I bag it myself. Which means that this guy is consistently overloading the bags every single time, causing the handles to rip off.

I don’t particularly mind if you’re going to stuff the bag full, but double bag it for fuck’s sake. You’re making minimum wage or near to it - you’re not getting a goddamn bonus if you use fewer bags to help the store’s bottom line.

You can’t quit! YOU’RE FIRED!!

Because the goal was never to get some kind of fair price for using the API. That’s why they priced it at “Fuck You.”

Ultimately what they want is for people to stop using 3rd party apps entirely because 3rd party apps either don’t show advertisements, or they show advertisements that give ad revenue to the developer.

They want everyone using their app because the valuation of tech companies directly correlates to the number of eyeballs they can serve ads to. Old.reddit will be next, and I bet they’ll try to start blocking ad blockers after that.
