Well. That's a horrifying invasion of privacy, and certainly a violation of the 4th Amendment (not that the current, right-wing dominated Supreme Court gives a fuck about obscure, legal doctrines like the US Constitution or equal rights for all).

anyway yeah DELETE YOUR FUCKING ADVERTISING IDS

Android:

Settings ➡️ Google ➡️ all services ➡️ Ads ➡️ Delete advertising ID

(may differ slightly depending on android version and manufacturer firmware. you can't just search settings for "advertising ID" of course 🔪)

iOS:

Settings ➡️ privacy ➡️ tracking ➡️ toggle "allow apps to request to track" to OFF

and ALSO settings ➡️ privacy ➡️ Apple advertising ➡️ toggle "personalized ads" to OFF

My love. My dear. My precious baby bird. I am kissing you so gently on the forehead. Please listen to my words.

That is the point.

For the love of god, everyone, please learn the meaning of allegory, I'm dying here.

What if you wanted to read the box? See the ingredients list? Maybe I should do that, make them stand there and wait while I read the ingredients on the toothpaste before deciding not to buy it. Compare the different toothpastes to each other.

I know that's mostly just wasting the time of the employee but if it happens enough maybe the problem will work it's way upward. Wages paid for employees to wait for customers to finish reading labels.
