The thing to keep an eye out for ----- is this really saving me time?
... or is it complicating things, then saving time on the more complicated process, which only takes us back to original time it took in the first place.
Example: a purchase with an agricultural tax exemption number.
Small shop --- takes your exempt number (from a piece of paper), enters it in, You make purchase.
Home Depot ---- get a computer, get a phone, get an internet account with email, set up a Home Depot Depot account, set up your tax exempt number on your home depot account. You will need your phone when you make a purchase. ----- fuck that shit, this added tech needs to collapse.
Mmmmmm, tech collapse
Company saves 3 minutes of employee labor
Customer spends an extra hour completing the same job.
You don't need to sell it to me
Wish it would collapse. But it's not going to. So. When you realize it's just gonna keep going, there's no point in getting upset and falling behind
You might not see it yet ---- but Home Depot doesn't get my business anymore.
Once the collapse gets critical mass, you will see it.
This is not the first time
