@ArtHarg @NudelnAlDente Nonono, I'm not talking about reservations! I'm talking about getting on the waitlist as a walk-in!
@epicdemiologist @NudelnAlDente Oh, right. That’s a bit excessive. They could hand out numbered tokens or something.

@ArtHarg @NudelnAlDente Exactly!

@hypostase Nope, fuck 'em. They lost the sale on a more expensive drink. The beer was fine, local & cheap.
@NudelnAlDente @hypostase I would have just left entirely.

@CppGuy @rootschange @NudelnAlDente so does our wifi at home.
I would do the same if it weren't for Mrs Wife, who would strongly object.

@CaptainAyeAye @NudelnAlDente Any shop that still has portfolios on their own website is 100% more likely to get my business.

Bartender: "We don't have a physical menu. You have to check us out on #Instagram to get the cocktail list."
I find them on Instagram only to discover that it's impossible to see their menu there when not logged in.
I. Don't. Have. An. Instagram. Account.
Me: "Yeah, I'll have a small beer, thanks." (at less than quarter of the price of a cocktail)
FFS businesses, stop getting captured by #Meta. It hurts your business.@NudelnAlDente "You can only buy our goods if you let the shoe shop up the road spy on you at all times."
"Do ... do they pay you or something?"
"What? Of course not. We pay them."

@roguefoam @raganwald @NudelnAlDente That sounds familiar and *may* have been the one. I found the hidden app about a week after the fact as I recall.
