Yeah no..I'll either use the in store paging system to call someone to the shelf, or just break your stupid plastic lock.

No way in hell will I get a program on my phone/devices that I don't actually need outside of a one-time thing. I'm not some cheap slut.

Why would you shop there in the first place? Want to pay $4 for a $1 bottle of shampoo?

I am some cheap slut and I’m sure as fuck not installing an app for in-store purchases.
