Anyone else remember then being the cool new thing instead of a mandatory one?

    The number of places that expect you to download their app to do business with them, or sign up with them, is beyond disturbing.

    I now actively try to make their life difficult. I’ll ring up,.or try to order at the counter. I had a table at one place, and rang up and ordered pick up. Better service than I was getting lol

    And then I pull out my wallet and try to pay with cash and all hell breaks loose 🤣

      I spent 30 minutes looking for an item at Microcenter.

      I got someone to help look. no good, can’t tell you where it could possibly be.

      called up and ordered it for pickup, came back 30 minutes later, there it was at the pickup desk.

        My experience getting help is complete opposite. I love microcenter. Lucky to have 3 of them within 45 min of me.

          Same for me. Super helpful staff. I frequently have to wait a minute because they’re helping someone else, but if I hang around in their aisle they ask if I need anything as soon as they’re done with the other customer.
