Remember when you could just walk into a store and ask for help without a QR code?

I was at the big hardware store in Springfield last week, trying to find a specific type of pipe fitting. I must have walked the aisle three times, and the only way to get info was to scan a code on the shelf with my phone to pull up a product page. It made me think about how simple it used to be to just find a person in an apron. Does anyone else miss just talking to a human employee for basic stuff?

Wait, you had to scan a code just for a pipe fitting? That's wild to me. I'd be lost without someone to point me in the right direction. Feels like they're making the simple stuff way too hard.

Ever get tired of waiting for help, @jade495?

Honestly, I love the QR codes. I can get the exact specs myself without waiting around for someone who might not even know.
