I'm not using your fucking "app". I'm paying with cash. You don't need to know who I am

Read this in my head in Jim Carrey Grinch voice lol

I recently had to download a 110MB fucking app over my data plan if I wanted to buy firewood at a campsite. The slot you used to be able to deposit cash for the firewood was still there but covered. Why? It was honor system anyway. The wood was just sitting there in pallet wrapped bundles to take.

Isn't the point of camping to put the dang phones away grillman

That's the realest grinch yet!

I was genuinely upset for that exact reason. I also had hiked a mile to the visitor's center without my phone at this point because I thought I could just give cash to someone and collect the wood.

There were conspicuous cameras

so they'd have plenty of evidence that you paid!

And plenty of evidence if someone stole the cash from them!
