@NudelnAlDente This is so insane. Here locally we have a restaurant that requires you to give them your phone number to be put on a list for a table; and a gas station that requires their app to activate the gas pumps.

@epicdemiologist @NudelnAlDente I can understand the restaurant. There’s inconsiderate types who make advance reservations at five or six places and then see what their mood is come dinner. They don’t bother to cancel the other restaurants. Result is that those may have turned away other customers. Asking for a phone number allows them at least to call like “Hey, you’re 30 mins late, should we still hold the table?”. Also, not being anonymous is a bit of a deterrent from being a selfish prick.

@epicdemiologist I had to install an app on my phone to use the laundry machines in my building. @NudelnAlDente
