What’s the point of this app??? – Supercuts Hair Salon Check-in Review

When you open this app it basically asks you if you want to “check in” for an upcoming haircut time at a location. Then when you confirm your “check in” time it tells you it’s not an appointment. So yesterday I thought I won’t bother “checking in” because whats the point?? Then I you showed up at and they badgered me to ask if I’ve “checked in” or not. Is there a reason for this? Is it some kind of way I can connect to Facebook to show all my friends I’m about to get a crappy haircut for $12.50????
