Heading back to work after being off for a bit over a week. This is the time I reflect on how unproductive I was during my time off.

Jesus... Arguing if QR Code should be dynamically generated....

 

[sdifox]

This is so painful.

 

[sdifox]

fucking people... I already gave you a path that requires minimum change, just encode the url into the target QR Code... but no we have to think of new processes... why?

 

[sdifox]

who the fuck will actually print out QR Codes to be shown to clients?

Jesus... Arguing if QR Code should be dynamically generated....

Earlier this week I was in a store that did just that. The point of sale system would generate a QR code and the employee would scan it with their phone and then take a picture of the serial number section on the product box to associate the product with the sale ticket. I guess someone thought that would be easier/cheaper than installing a camera on the point of sale system.

 

[sdifox]

Jesus, now they want to have different static QR Codes... it's called one dynamic QR Code...

I was just thinking, I wonder if there will be a time where retail stores just stop existing completely and go online-only and we actually look back at them the same way we look back at video rental stores. I kinda miss them, but at same time I don't think I'd actually use them much either if they existed. Times just change.

Our Staples just closed down, which was kind of a shock but at same time not that surprising. Any time I went it always brought back memories of when I used to go with my mom to get school supplies. I remember when it first opened and it had a "new building smell". That smell always stayed and was there even the last time I went. It was almost like a signature smell for that store. It's oddly kinda sad knowing the store is closed now, but at same time it's not like I actually did go all that often and I can just order online anyway. Anytime I did go there was maybe like 10 people there at most. Taxes on that building are probably like 80k per year. Margins are very low in retail so it's a miracle they even make enough to pay all the bills for a big building like that.
