Tired:
People on social media have terrible reading comprehension
Wired:
People on social media will do almost anything to avoid a phone call and would pay you double if you just had an online order form
Who is going to be selling the pies?
You also get the “I must make the simplest transaction absurdly difficult for no apparent reason” shopper:
Hi Alice, I want one of your pies, I’m situated at <location 40km from where you are> and I have $2.98 in cash. Would it be possible for you to meet me 26.7km away from my house where I’ll give you the $2.98 in cash, and then the remaining balance in a series of travelers cheques, one of which is from a country which no longer exists but I assure you it can still be converted to legal tender if you’re willing to make a quick stop at the Belarusian Embassy? Also what kind of apples are in the pie? If the amount of baking apples relative to other apples is above 68.7% I can’t eat it or I’ll die, but anything below that amount is fine.
Am on social media, can confirm. :-P
This isn’t just social media. Most of my coworkers at my last job were like this any time I sent them a message with more than one piece of information in it. I swear screens break some people’s reading ability.
