If they were just adding screens that created a new means of interacting, that would be much less infuriating. What makes to so bad is the removal of the standard means of interaction, forcing everyone to use the screens whether they want to or not.

If I see these color door screens someplace, I am simple going to walk out and refuse to give that store any business. I refuse to support companies that are actively trying to make my life harder.

I don't walk out. I make a point to open the doors as hard as I can to get them jammed open or bend the hinges a bit. I've managed to break one or two so far.

If you break it on purpose, that's a crime. And if you write that that publicly, you can no longer reasonably claim it was an accident.

I'm not breaking them on purpose. I'm just a klutz that doesn't know his own strength.

You literally said you open them hard to break them.

What proof is there that whoever wrote the comment actually did it? Besides, if they can be broken merely by being opened and closed hard, they aren’t going to stay long anyway.

I kind of like the problem of stupid customers always breaking their super expensive screens.

Make sure you tell every member of staff why you are walking out as you go.

Leave the cart, full, in front of the fridges. They’ll understand soon enough.

Please don't do this. This creates more work and hassle for the low paid employees who have no ability to affect decision making.

Instead, talk to the manager and explain why you dislike the removal of glass doors and why you will no longer do business at their store as a result.
