This is why Sears and KMart are circling the drain. They just don't get it.
Don't make it hard for me to give you money and get things. It's you're raison detre.

Advance Auto is the same way. Order online, 20% discount. Then it takes 15m for it to transfer to the store.

They can't compete with Amazon in the online marketplace while running the warehouse out of their fully staffed local stores, why does everyone keep trying?

The best part is that you would think that Sears, of all places, would have been well-positioned for the advent of online sales, being pretty much the king, if not the inventor, of mailorder sales, but they were too slow and squandered that opportunity.

The amazing thing about Sears was that they *had* an online presence before online was even a thing. They started Prodigy along with IBM, and even had an online version of their catalog.

Well duh, this is more important. One of my friend sad that everyone working for the event organizers gets to see it at a showing very late tonight if they want and they each got a plus one. He asked me to fly out and see it with him but I couldn't justify it, no matter how cool it would be.

I want a new phone that blows me away.

The S8+ showed up today, and it's very nice, but it's going back. The screen is great, but only marginally better than the Nexus 6p. It's peppy and has some cool features (iris scanning is def. cool), but it's just not enough of an improvement from the 6p to justify the expense and time to switch everything over.

At the end of the movie Thanos is choking Tony Stark and Captain America to death and says "Can no man stand up to me" and Black Widow comes out of no where and says "I am no man" and kicks him in the balls. Thanos drops to his knees and says "Ouch, right in the infinity stones".

I still kind of like my s5, though it struggles a bit when I try to do too much.
Also, I can change the battery.

I'm still rocking a 2014 Moto X as my work phone personal is an Essential PH-1

Seriously though, it handles running 3 delivery apps + google maps just fine. It's a Snapdragon 801 with 2GB of RAM, which is still better than a lot of budget phones on the market today. My only real issue with it is the battery is trash (but it doesn't get flaky until it gets down to ~50%... the 2 year old Nexus 6P I used to use daily shuts off as high as 85% if I'm using the camera).

I've had a Nexus 6P for ~ 2 1/2 years now and I see no reason to ever upgrade. It still is just as fast as the day that I bought it. The battery like STRs is starting to go but not nearly as bad. It shuts off at ~20% right now. I'll probably just replace the battery and keep using it until it explodes.

Unfortunately, ever since going to Oreo, it's just been a lot slower. Even after a factory reset (which included flashing the stock ROM). It also had the fairly well known mic issue; it was bad enough that I just used it exclusively on speakerphone or bluetooth. Tried disabling the noise cancellation mic in build.prop; people could then hear me, but they said I echoed badly.

I really miss the beautiful display on it (the PH-1 is a typical LCD panel), but the speed of the PH-1 (Snapdragon 835 + 3GB RAM) almost makes up for the lackluster display.

It did see much heavier usage than a typical phone, which is probably why the battery went to poo poo so much quicker.
