Web "trends" that the maker didn't think through!
In this weeks edition of what were they thinking, I was browsing *Mastodon this morning and saw this;
"No, I do not want to log into your site. No, I do not want notifications from you. No, I do not want to subscribe to your newsletter. No I do not want your cookies. No I do not want you to send me offers.
And when you wonder why I am taking my business elsewhere, this is why."
This behaviour drives me crazy but I'm not alone. The above was the start of a thread about web/tech fails. Loads of comments but I'll share the doozies with you here.
"I was just in a store where the clothes did'nt have price tags and I found an employee to ask where the prices were and she told me to download their app and scan the bar code of the item. Nope nopenopenope. I noped on out of there."
"I ate in a restaurant fairly recently that had a QR code to scan to see the menu on your phone. Trouble is my phone would not scan their QR code for some reason. They had no printed menus and did not know the web address that the QR code was supposed to send me. Technology fail."
I don't know what kind of thought process went into the above decisions but to be sure they didn't think it through.
