    @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social yes! People don't realize how awful it is to visit a Facebook business page without logging in

    @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social Having the menu on the website would be nice but even just the physical address, phone number, and opening hours of the restaurant would be a good start.

    @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social "weebly" sucks too. And half their sites scream DOWNLOAD OUR AAAAAAAAAPP!!! Fuck your "app," Joe's New York Pizza in Iowa.

    @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social Can't agree more because peoples " startup small and demium " need to stop relaying 100% on social media " big brothers " and make their own chatbox secure with privacy respect " I know you will order just food " but why you need to share that type of informations and details about your life to big giant corporation & that type of info it's a lot of money for theme, they collect resell it again.

    @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social I just bumped into another one where in an article they complained about how difficult it had been to find customers. But when searching for them online, no website! I was wondering if maybe they had shut down already until I eventually went out of my way and found them active on Facebook. Where of course it was really difficult to figure out what their actual menu was. I failed and gave up.

    @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social Absolutely agree. Clicking link to 'our website' , only to end up on a Facebook page pisses me off.. Partly because it's lazy, but mainly because I no longer have an FB account. I hate the assumption that 'everyone is on FB. 🤬
