I've started noticing a new trend with stores, at least it seems like a new trend to me. But like every time I go and buy something now it seems like the store I went to wants me to fill out a survey.
Like for everything... Even mundane little things like when I walked into an Office Depot to buy a pen, or the local Target for a bicycle pump. I get it, once in a while surveys are useful, but I have to wonder what marketing genius thought, "Let's send them a survey after every purchase, they'll definitely fill them out every time and won't get annoyed at even more emails from us!"

@resetreboot Yeah, I could see all of that. it's also nice to see somene else mention privacy, it seems like just about no one cares at all about that. · 1 year ago
Well, in my opinion, marketing people are the same people that a party put themselves by your side and start telling you their life, their work and so on. They need to be all over your case.
The fact that privacy has gone down the toilet is basically thanks to the brilliant ideas of marketing people that need somehow to justify that their ideas are generating revenue to the company. So they need to see where, how and when you clicked, the brand of your panties and what you were talking with your partner. And surveys are important in that scheme of things. Also, a way for lazy bosses to scold workers instead of doing real supervision. · 1 year ago
