they often do. Google is quite insistent on getting businesses to update their holiday hours for any common holidays, and when you look up business hours on a holiday you see the result of this - many businesses do update their holiday hours, and the business listing tells you whether the business owner has confirmed that the hours are correct for the holiday, or they have not updated the page for the holiday.
- benatkin 8y agoThey do but it's worse than useless. For every time they have accurate holiday hours, they 10 times show me a bullshit warning that the hours may vary due to the holidays when a) I already know that and b) the business is open regular hours on some religious holiday that I don't observe.
- stanleydrew 8y agoYou're mad that an interface shows a warning when the data isn't known to be accurate? What do you propose would be better?
- benatkin 8y agosimplicity would be better IMO. open source would be better. not changing up an app I already like would be better. In many ways Gopher was better than the web, because a gopher client could make more decisions about how to present the data than the web, for which the presentation is mostly prescribed by the content provider.
