If any store starts requiring a fucking app to make a purchase, that store has permanently lost my business.
You have not earned the privilege of being installed on my phone. Get the fuck out of here.
We all just learned from Walgreens’ latest report that placing barriers between consumers and the goods they’re trying to purchase reduces sales, and CVS’ response to this problem is to add a login requirement.
Easing the ordering process, and a solid return policy, is how Amazon exploded overnight. Study after study showed that people would walk back if the website offered the slightest hassle. Also funny, something like a 1.3s load time difference would send people to competitors.
Do they not teach this shit in business school?!
I go there in person BECAUSE I don’t want to log in to your stupid website.
Walgreens CEO, "We lost business due to our locked shelves."
CVS: "Hold my beer."
Oh good, this is going to be an excuse for every other business to start doing this shit ....
