Where I am, the median salary is around $400-$500. I know how you feel.

Well-to-do? That is weird, because here not having a washing machine in the apartment would be weird even for a poor person.
I don't see a "justification" in my reply. I cannot change or influence the system, I need the discounts - so I do that.
No I have not, heard it is offensive and unfunny.
Especially given that some of the common budget devices, like Huawei, lacks Google services. It is the reason why all the major banks here except one don't require Google services.
The more insane thing here for me is the fact that there isn't a washing machine inside your apartment.
(btw lived in such once, apparently the owner wasn't very wealthy. We washed everything by hand)
I have seen a bit of that, but every time it turned out to have an option without. For example, one chain wanted you to use an app for making orders - but when you say "I am sorry, I have a dumbphone", it turns out there is a tablet for this on the reception.
I use a loyalty card pretty often. It's just that it is almost always another customer's card) And in case this is not available - a barcode of some rando's loyalty card I found online, the valid ones are often easy to find.
At least you can not only ask other customers for their cards, but also sometimes be offered theirs without even asking.
Wouldn't a quadruped be easier? You can stick arms onto a robotic "dog".
No one's removing my access to LUKS))
Yeah! I use GrapheneOS and am very happy with it (and yes, $300 for a phone for it was very steep for me, even if I don't mind it now as a longterm investment). However, I really don't like the absolutism that a lot of its community promotes. I think I would run Lineage myself eventually, since GOS' updates end much earlier.
