Another story about being an economic outcast! This time about trying to move when you don't have a phone. https://t.co/me29HxdDNp

Looking for the most secure way to have a phone. To get around dumb websites that think you aren't a real human being worthy of economic access (if you can't afford a functional smart phone). https://t.co/SZCvQ39kKO

Schedule U-Haul for Friday, 4:30pm.Told by website can't pick up at location selected as they are closed. (door sign says otherwise, but ok... website probably knows office hours better)I guess they just tell me all the hours since they have mobile option? Annoying. https://t.co/gFthNVZ5D8

Opt for in person cuz I don't have functional smartphone phone yet.So I use another location with office hours! On the same street even. So that's nice.

Got email confirming order. Says nothing about mobile phone check in and has the correct address for the location I opted for.A few days later they call GF's number to confirm. She says they didn't mention any changes? We both still think it is at selected in-person address.

I see now, I have a email from not uhaul[dot]com marked as untrusted.Guessing some service rep changed our order. New place probably didn't realize we had made an in-person at another location! So they had no reason to confirm there was a change when they called.Good job.👌 https://t.co/H1AOZZ84Yb
