Oh my god, I absolutely hate the torture system this person works for. Pretty sure they are talking about the thing at Ralph's where you have to "clip" a coupon by scanning a QR code in the store, except:
- the QR code is often deep in a refrigerated display case, so you're holding the door open with one hand while you stick your phone in there and the camera fogs up
- there is rarely good enough cell signal in the store, even more rarely in the fridge
- the web app for clipping is buggy as hell (yesterday I used it and clipping via the QR code failed on 4 out 4 coupons, and it was the worst kind of failure - "clipping" animation just plays forever while I was standing there blocking the supermarket aisle)
This damn thing has been around for a few years and has changed shopping from fun and easy to frustrating. I might just go back to Amazon fresh or whatever.
Better, I think I'll just write a script to hit all the coupon endpoints every day before I go shopping.
Coupons were always a stupid, user-hostile game, but this system is taking it several steps too far. Also, it's discriminatory against seniors and people who don't have smartphones (or don't want to have to have them out the whole time while shopping).
