I take a pic of all my wife’s loyalty cards etc
When your in the shop you can search your images for the shop name, then scan the picture on the till
That sir, is genius! However, I'm a single chap, unencumbered by wife. When your in the shop you can search your images for the shop name, then scan the picture on the till

I'm not a boomer by any means but my local barber has now only started accepting appointment bookings via Insta-f
king-gram. I've tried looking on their page and it's just photos. No booking link, nothing. Doesn't help that I don't know how Instagram works, but still, you utter fking s. It makes me so angry. I'd rather walk round with long paedo hair than bend to their hipster app-wk agenda. Just writing this gets me so incensed, I'm gonna have a lie down.
My barber does walk-ins and people tend to wait for their preferred scissor wielder. Pretty much everyone - AFAIK - pays in cash. She did operate an appointment system while there was still social distancing stuff to observe and just used text messaging and a paper diary. As soon as the restrictions dropped it was back to business as normal.king-gram. I've tried looking on their page and it's just photos. No booking link, nothing.

Skin fade is what the spotty youths all have , looks like someone stuck a bowl on their heads and shaved the rest of the head down the skin. Looks particulary daft like some poverty stricken wartime kids.
As my mother used to say, if I sent you out the house looking like that, you would be crying.
Skin fade? Is that what it's called? I thought it was just a bunch of fashion victims without an original thought between them all thinking they're something out of Peaky Blinders.As my mother used to say, if I sent you out the house looking like that, you would be crying.

Similar story here, though mine's a bloke. Won't touch plastic with a bargepole. Got fed up with No Shows during Covid and dropped the appointments system as soon as he could.I don't see anything "council" in that.

Walk in's = Council.
Double council if then paying in cash.
Doesn't everyone book an appointment via a booking app these days?
No.Double council if then paying in cash.

Gen Z here and i can’t be arsed to faff around with an app for everything.
HTH.
Having said that, in regards to the barber, I haven't been to one in over 35 years, as I've had long hair and a beard since college, so am quite happy using my own beard trimmer, and a haircut is basically Mrs CnC chopping off a couple of inches every few months, then back into a ponytail.
I do, however make the exception for apps with the Wetherspoons app, as you just sit down and order your food and drink, which appears reliably quickly without having to deal with the bustling throng gathered around the bar area.
Wetherspoons app, not going to the barber, long hair and beard - triple council?
