Both probably give the same exact water at the same temp.
Oh yeah, Steve called the manufacturer about that, and they’re supposed to be sending someone out this month. Maybe next. Our deepest apologies for the inconvenience.
No, the system won’t allow us to discount or refund.
That’s my favourite line, “I’m sorry we can’t do that because of how our system works.”
“But you’re ripping me off and that’s illegal.”
“I’m sorry, the system won’t allow me to refund you.”
“So you’re admitting that your company built a system that rips people off and breaks the law as a matter of policy? You realise that’s worse, right?”
It’s just finger pointing to avoid liability.
“Oh no, that’s not our fault! It’s these guys who did it, so talk to them!”
For the individual phone line worker yes, but as a system it’s an intentional layered diffusion of responsibility. The decision makers employ goons to tell you about their decisions and blame it on the “system” which is actually just a decision made higher up. You can get as angry as you want at the goons, they have no decision making power so the anger is likely to get nowhere. Even if you ask to talk to a manager, in most situations they’re only a middle manager and yet another layer of security for the person who’s actually screwing you.
Or they warm the tap water
Even if it was free, opening an app to get water is bullshit.
Edit: Let the record show, I was referring to the chilled water.
It clearly says that you can push the button to get water.
It “clearly” says, “USE APP TO ACCESS”, so no, you can’t just push the button. It has to verify your subscription first.
It only requires the app for chilled and filtered. The regular tap water is still available.
@ch00f@lemmy.world said, “Even if it was free…” which implies he’s talking specifically about the paid button on the right and not the free button on the left.
The implication being even if the chilled and filtered water was also free, having to open an app for the button to work would be bullshit.
Meh, he says, “opening an app to get water.” I think there’s some fudging going on here.
Water is available with no app.
Certain processed water is offered with an app.
Jokes on you; I torrent my water!
I stream it
A torrent of water, if you will.
I just cry myself a river.
Reefill.com isn’t even a registered domain. I call horseshit.
If this was downtown or at parks I can kinda see them providing something. Knowing this is likely at a university library or building its just removing access that was already there.
Fuck that. If it’s downtown or at a park the fucking municipality can afford $1.99/mo
We need more public facilities. This privatization bullshit can kick rocks
I feel that the majority of innovation occuring in modern capitalism is confined to two key areas:
-
Regulatory capture and market control.
-
New ways to mindfuck people into overpaying for goods and services.
-
