I'll do a big shop, look shocked at the line up and just walk out. Have fun dealing with my cart.

There's no way I'll get an app. I get they'll have methods to entice people but I held off getting Facebook when it was the big thing, I'll be ready for when corpos want to fuck around.

In fact I welcome it to see how I do.

I'm pretty good at not buying from Safeway when they have an item I want on app-coupon sale.

But since tje new Trump order I've gone completely anti-consumerist, only getting stuff I immediately need.
