Nothing to be humiliated about, we should be bothered about everyday products and services being mutated into subscriptions to extract maximum cash from our pockets. Once upon a time we would give a business money they'd provide us something, and we'd both go on our merry ways. Now everyone wants to lock you into their shitty overpriced subscription. I say no and feel no shame.

like the “tip “ machine. I have learned to punch no tip if no tip is warranted. like handing me a donut..

A cashier at a mall food shop once confided in me not to bother tipping because the store owner kept it all anyway.

Subscription is basically renting. You know - You'll own nothing and be happy.

As opposed to a pay-for service car wash where you own the clean feeling forever?
