Here in Japan, travel agents are still around. The brick and mortar ones have actually branched out to offer their services online, too.

I assume they mostly survive on people who want to book a package tour, which are insanely popular here.

Some of them will now charge a consultation fee whether you buy something or not, so you can see how the industry is hurting.

Although I’m not a boomer, I did use one last year as they are great for just showing you all the options in a very clear way. With just an hour to spare to book a family trip, it was the way to go (for me at least).

I do think that next time I will use them to consult, but then book online to avoid their fee. Also, it seems that booking though the agent makes the ticket less flexible (the airline will lock out some parts of their website and tell you to have the agent do the thing which you wanted to)

So, yeah, it’ll be just like shopping. Go to the store to look and get info, then buy online to save money.

Silly question, but have you already set up family sharing? Are you able to access other services included in the subscription!

It finally lets you select the display language! Hurray! Scrolling is still choppy AF though. It’s basically the same as the mobile app, which isn’t saying much.

Internal sensor for tire pressure monitoring system? Was looking at some last night lol

That would be great to be honest. I have many shopping lists in reminders named as the stores which I frequent, with one catch all called “shopping” they are in a group called “shopping” because of course they are. Until recently adding reminders worked like “Siri add xyz to my shopping list”. But now Siri pops up saying “do you mean shopping, or shopping?” And clicking either option results in an error that the app needs to be opened. How fucking stupid can it be? One isn’t even a list! Works fine from my Apple Watch though. Changed the category to “to buy” because fuck me, right?

I just upvoted you by purpose. There. Sounds weird, right?

As someone who also grew up in the commonwealth, I can’t remember ever hearing anyone say “on accident”. And it seems that “on accident” is grammatically wrong (not that we all have to speak with perfect grammar, but just pointing it out). I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this but whatever. “On accident” also grated at me lol.
