Wasn’t really a sales pitch this time but why the forced gratitude? Lol

Even the dentist’s office yesterday did it! I was laughing and had to take a photo.

Like your “motorist” example. That one annoys me, too.

Yes. I also hate when an online store or app tries to upsell me or offer a product I don’t want and my options are “yes” and “no, thanks.” They are forcing me to thank them for the unwanted pitch to make it go away. I want a “No, and F-off” option.
