i know times r tough and a lot of business are struggling to stay afloat and workers struggle to find good work but kissing booths switching to the door-to-door model has been nothing but an annoyance, it's the worst of both worlds. most times they're just interrupting your day off or evenings to have this awkward exchange of trying to politely decline, while they try every psychological tactic into guilting you into at least listening to their full speal even if you've heard it all before. First it was just a few times a month, then multiple a week, and since 2023 lucky to get a day without one or more stopping by. You'd think business was booming with how many different ones seem to have all day to go round knocking and knocking. Most absurd thing is, even when you do want a kiss, they aren't there! Before, you'd make an appointment or do a walk-in if the line wasn't too long, it was on you to choose. Now it's just whenever they happen to be by, the booths are gone because rent too high, and they won't make an app since it's such an old-fashioned industry.

thinking about getting one of those nest door kissers, guess it's kind of mean since they'll waste some time on the speal and give out the sample kiss at least before realizing not real lips, but honestly still faster than you having to say no yourself without being rude. plus the camera in the lips has a feed for your phone so you can still look and see if you wanted to bother with that kisser or not.

I know it's terrible, but I grew up with processed industrial kisses, and I just can't enjoy any other kind. After the climate apocalypse, you'll be glad they have a near-infinite shelf life.

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

This has all been really disruptive for the hugging booth industry. People are getting tired of booths, and that's hurting us as well.
It may also because we give them out for free.

My great grandpappy used to work down at the towns kiss factory for a dime an hour before the poorly maintained safety equipment resulted in a factory explosion. I'm glad today's kissing Union exists to help maintain safe working conditions

The door to door glory hole just isn't the same. All the excitement and mystery is gone when the other person is just holding up a one foot square divider with a hole in it between the two of you.
Big Gloryhole practically drove the mom & pop glory-hole-drilleries out of business and then just stopped offering the service entirely to drive up divider sales since the CEO's brother owned the manufacturer for them

I don't mind door-to-door kissing booths, but I refuse to take their literature.

these new fangled kiss-sharing services started out sounding great, I admit. I can even handle the peak surcharges, but last Saturday when I found myself sharing the same kiss with a tourist family of 6, two grumpy businessmen, a sanitation worker, and a Finnish au pair--for the third weekend in a row--I started to wonder, is this really progress?
Consider yourself lucky, last time I pooled 3 of the people were just there to try and slip me something in the group kiss to advertise wonder cleaner or whatever
