    A few months ago, I was out shopping and there was this teenager girl newly working as cashier.
    She asked the usual “Do you have our app? and I told her “No..

    Of course, with the obligatory tone that I have no interest, cause I fully expected her to follow up with “Would you like help setting it up?. Which is always funny, because like everyone else on Lemmy, I work in IT.

    I think, she absolutely understood that I have no interest, but her manager was in earshot, so she thought for a moment and then hit me with “We also have these stickers you can collect!.

    And just, goddamn, lady. I know, I probably look to you like I belong in a museum, but I’m not that old.

    of course, I didn’t actually take it personal. Not to mention that I was genuinely delighted to hear that they still have a non-tracking option. But yeah, still most definitely no interest.

      Maybe she just saw that you’re on Lemmy working in IT and thought your laptop didn’t have enough stickers yet.
