name and shame! Pet circle nag gently at me to finish my profile, but I order gaily away without entering a damned thing

It was Petcircle. I’m not sure if that’s why it wasn’t letting me order but it really did seem to be

There were asterisks on the fields and the Place Order button was grayed out

weird, lemme check my login

...yup it popped up with that stupid pet profile shit, but there's a DO LATER option that makes it go away - are you on mobile? Maybe try viewing desktop version of the site

I am on mobile, I’ll check on the laptop. Still a scummy move on their part. Massive side eye

TBH i'd put it down to bad coding that renders fucked up on a mobile. Lotta sites guilty of that shit.

worst I ever got from them was the repeated ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT THIS FOOD ITS VET ONLY for Punkin's renal and that wasn't a dealbreaker

Being how greedy and unethical a lot of companies are getting in regards to data these days I really wasn’t sure

the stupidest thing about that data collection is they have no fucking idea what to do with it. They just keep selling it to each other like it's goddamn NFTs until someone breaches, but they don't actually generate anything of worth out of it. ooo you wanna target ad me I HAVE ADBLOCKER YOU IDIOT
