Dollar Tree deplatformed

Bad news: If you want to download the app that gives you digital coupons, loyalty points and more at America’s second-largest chain of discount variety stores, you won’t be able to do it on your iPhone. That’s right, Dollar Tree is the latest company to be permanently banned from the App Store.

In a statement, Apple said the decision was made out of respect for the sensibilities of their Muslim customers, whose religion strictly forbids iDollar Tree.

I read this while rather tired and actually checked the news, lol. I had to register the pun.

Ha! I like to keep my readers on their toes.

(They really aren’t on the App Store, though, and other dollar stores are. Another case of life imitates pun?)

Sabbatical notice

I'm taking a break from blogging for a bit, exact timetable undetermined. In the meantime, feel free to contact me by email.
