    There are ads that portray people in humiliating situations, like not being able to afford their groceries while holding up the line at the checkout, so they download an app that gives them “free cash.” This is portrayed as a perfectly normal, reasonable thing to do in this situation.

      NGL I’ve bought a lot of people their groceries over the years

      I’ve been that person and the child of that person who couldn’t afford groceries, so I do what I can to help others

      Wow, that’s dehumanizing…

      I’ve been behind people who used price match for every item in their cart. I try to smile politely and not look annoyed, people do what they need to to get by.
