Does Google hate me? What can I do about that?

Silly Joe. We’re asking: Does Google hate YOU.

No, Google doesn’t hate me. WooCommerce’s plugin sent a new t-shirt design directly to Google, but I haven’t completed even the most basic of their requirements such as posting Terms of Service, Privacy, Returns and Exchanges, and other policies.

You can buy something from here and trust me, but it’s cool if you wait until these policies are explicitly laid out as they’re going to have to be to make a million dollars, anyway.
