@ZiiX god forbid you don't have a phone that can run an app

@ZiiX

@ZiiX the layers of horribleness behind "let us get the door for you" + "there's an app for that", ugh

"offloading more work onto service workers," that too

@ZiiX well there's a place i won't visit twice

@ZiiX Completely ridiculous. Would not revisit.

@ZiiX I hope you don't have a sour tummy....

@ZiiX ugh. counting down to when someone just leaves a big ol' turd on that little dotted square when they can't get in.

@ZiiX So if you're running Firefox OS ur screwed

@ZiiX The IoT was a great idea, at least at the beginning. Today, that's more #InternetOfShit, as you said. And c'mon dude, for bathroom! --'

@ZiiX uh that is like the worst Idea ever. probably the last place you should use that technology.

A small part of me wishes that someone would just block the access of the person who came up with this

@ZiiX @Sir_Boops Something something being too literal there. ;/

@ZiiX I'm so thankful that's a code violation where I live.

@ZiiX i interpret that sign and device as saying, "pee here".

@ZiiX 20Mb much? u can connect to our free WIFI. We will not spy ya.. promise.

It gets worse. There is a LCD screen on the wall showing ads with a waiting list of the people’s names for a virtual line so you don’t have to wait in the physical line. LMAO

@ZiiX too poor for a smartphone? Too poor to use indoor plumbing then

@ZiiX "let us get the door for you" they say, while inserting a completely unnecessary extra step in to the process of opening a door.

@ZiiX in many European countries you need a smartphone and an app to digitally transfer a fee to use the toilet at a train station.

@ZiiX fuck everything about this

@ZiiX at least now we don't have to talk to people to get the door open

@ZiiX

/laughs in Gordian knot

@ZiiX But what about those who doesn't own a smartphone or just doesn't use proprietary software?

@ZiiX I like how they have put Braille on the sign but the rest of the contraption would be utterly impenetrable to a blind or visually-impaired person. They are probably breaking some kind of disability laws here.

@ZiiX In the Olden Days, many public restrooms cost a dime to access. This fell out of use when it became apparent that customers would simply hold the door open for the next person in line.

@ZiiX HAL please, I need to go to the bathroom!

... “I know what you’re trying to do, Dave, and I’m afraid I cannot allow it.”

@ZiiX you should pee on the panel 😈

@ZiiX It's all fun and games until your bathroom door is roped into in a Moldovan botnet.

@ZiiX Oh! Now I see why this door felt familiar yesterday.
