Apt observation

There is only room for just so many apps on my phone!

If it’s too complicated you just don’t need their dam pizza

We don’t need no stinkin’ apps.

Try DoorDash, GrubHub, or UberEats instead, Ralph.

“To be placed on hold forever, press 1 now. To be hung up on, please press 2 now. To hear this menu again, press 3 now”.

or go online to order…

More than a few stores have lost my business because they’re trying to force people to apps.

I call the local number of a well known franchise pizza place nearest to my location and talk to a very nice person in a well known foreign country and they place the order on their computer. Works for me.

I like apps. They don’t run on my phone, so I stay home and make my own dinner.

After eating their pizza you may need emergency response.

Modern inconveniences.

I have a free app that is making it harder because they want me to buy the paid version. Takes me a few seconds more and I don’t mind.

For pizza emergencies, you dial 3.1415928.

We hadn’t flown for a few years and on the outward trip everything was so difficult because I didn’t know about the airline’s app. I got it for the return and everthing went smooth as silk.

Ask yourself why the want everyone to use apps.

And then stop using apps as much as possible.

If they need pizza it is obviously an emergency. They are OUT of pizza.

They want people to use the app so they can make the pizza when they get around to it.

I’d rather use the app myself.

Since when does a cell phone make Beep Beep Boop noises?

Just yesterday I ordered a pizza using my rotary-dial landline.
