Jiffy Lube had 1,000 locations in the U.S. in 1989. According to my experience in the 1990s (limited mostly to the Midwest), quick oil change shops were ubiquitous even in small towns.
I’ve never seen a shop that will let anyone stay in the vehicle while it was being worked on, even for something so simple as an oil change. Where did you find one?
In the US, this is really common. There a few big chains, like Jiffy Lube and Valvoline, but also a lot of local places. Just look for "drive thru oil change" on Google Maps
All of my grocery shopping is done on my supermarkets website and sorting by unit price brings up the price per pound or ounce or whatever that products unit of measure is. For paper towels it returns $ per square foot, so even if the product size is different the price per unit of measure stays the same and makes it easier to comparison shop.
we name devices based on the inventory asset tag we affix as a prefix + the acronym of the department the device is assigned to as the suffix. clean and consistent across thousands of devices.
I named computers in a church after biblical characters for a while and moved back to asset tags. You can never be sure how to spell Nebuchadnezzar and asset tags are sooo much easier.
This happened back in 2019 with a restaurant I have a stake in. We did not enter into an agreement with Door Dash. Door Dash would call and place a pick-up order. The driver would come in and attempt to pay for the order with a debit card. The card got declined. Another (exactly the same order) gets called in, a different driver shows up - card got declined.
Staff thought it was a scam. They noticed the same type of debit card was used for both orders. Finally a driver informed us it was a door dash order. They scraped an old menu online with outdated prices, and loaded the debit card with the amount they calculated from the outdated menu.
Staff called back the phone number that placed the orders, explained the issue, and let Door Dash know there were 2 orders (sitting for over an hour, no longer saleable) that they owed [amount] for before we would take any additional orders from them, and that they needed to pay in advance over the phone before we would make any more food for them. Horrible experience, would never do business with them.
My father (85) similar scenario falling for scam emails and phone calls. Walked in on him installing rdp software as the "Microsoft support tech" instructed him to do when he called the number in the email that told him he had a virus.
Changed his desktop pc so his account is no longer admim (can't install software). Additionally, the websites he can visit are now allow-list only with everything else blocked.
My father lost $300 to those assholes. And I'm glad that was all it was.
What I determined was that he was getting frustrated by the browser popups, and would click on anything that looked like it would make them go away so he could get back to what he was doing. That led to his machine being constantly reinfected after I would clean it.
Watching the "scam the scammer" education videos on Youtube would be of limited use because he would get in trouble "in the moment" and wouldn't think about his actions until much later (if at all).
If he were still around I'd install an adblocker as well as removing his admin rights.
>>Free products are distributed at local businesses, community-based organizations and health care facilities. The Health Department's NYC Condom Availability Program gives away more than 30 million free safer sex products every year to over 3,500 locations throughout the five boroughs. These free products include male NYC Condoms, internal condoms (FC2) and lubricant.
> some apps didn't even need to be installed on an iOS device; instead they could exfiltrate data from the iCloud account linked to the device. But to get such information as social media logs, the app buyer would need to "jailbreak" iOS devices or "root" Android systems, essentially getting around built-in protections...
