Can't even look up oil filter # without your stupid phone now

[Jeff_Birt]

Just got back from O'Reilly's to pick up oil and a filter. They no longer have a book back by the filters so you can look part number up. There is just some stupid QR code to scan. Being of an age where I can mange to function without having a cell phone in my hand 24/7 I found myself SOL. Luckily I remembered correct Wix part# and asked counter guy to confirm I had the correct filter.

I think I discovered the same thing last time I went to buy windshield wiper blades.

"Bring your own info" these days.

Just one good Carrington event . . .

and the world is TOTALLY screwed.


As the last feeble light of the flashlight app goes out from their useless phone's battery dying, Humanity will thus end, with a giant whimper in the cold darkness.
