Remember when we used to purchase a thing, pay for the thing and own the thing? Now every purchase, every trip to the supermarket, hardware store or pizza joint is followed up by the request for a review, customer care questionnaire or general nosiness. I’ve been hounded for a solid week by Home Depot wanting a review of, checks notes, shelf brackets. The supermarket sends me a request for review after every single purchase. It’s because no one has ever sent an email or text after a yard sale asking me to rate the used salad tongs I purchased for a quarter.
