Good for you if: - yiu are socially awkward - your phone works - you actually have a smartphone (since when did it become mandated?) - the backend booking process went through successfully

Oh Mother of God.

I 100% prefer the human interaction. Why? Well, after 15 years of travelling worldwide, ever tried to solve some fuckups, like delayed / lost baggage involving 3 countries? No? Ofc not, most SW / IT guys (btw i am one!) couldn't comprehend something going wrong outside a "perfectly designed" process. Never ever.

And ofc foreigners always have a charged phone with them, including a readily payed data pass, and we will willingly pay tru the nose for calling US numbers (+1 800 or Texan local - shame on you, United!) Same with QR code somethings, like instructions, menus, etc. - fvck these. And fvck interaction tru 'apps' and automated processes in general!

Get some real-world experience man, and off your high horse.

You have some good points, but I think you’re being downvoted because this comes across as unnecessarily hostile.
