I remember back in like 2017 I was serving a table and I was joking with the dude at the table about how my husband told me he wanted to go shopping for winter boots, and literally as soon as I opened FB literally EVERY ad was for winter boots.
The guy was laughing along, but the girl got very quiet and seemed perturbed, so I took the hint and left quickly.
As I was leaving, I overheard her say “you don’t really believe that s**t, do you?” And he was like “what? That companies are listening to your voice to market things?” And she was like “YES. It pisses me off sooo much when people talk about that becayse it’s just not true, and that would be such an invasion of PRIVACY.”
Like this lady was MAD.
I’ve always wondered how she’s doing in 2025 knowing that not only is it true, it’s f*****g normalized and expected now, and a lot of people have a smart home that knows what they need for groceries before they do.
