🕸️ Crawling the Web

Here is what else is happening across the 'net.

📱 A Best Buy worker thinks the latest and greatest smartphone updates aren’t all that great.

🛒 When it comes to grocery shopping, most people opt to buy name-brand items, such as Lay’s Potato Chips or DiGiorno Pizza. But Walmart shoppers might be surprised when it comes to a particular brand.

🍑 A Costco shopper offered a surprising review of the store’s large jar of peaches—though it did take her some extra effort to get a peach out of the jar.

🍴 We all love free chips and salsa at a restaurant, but maybe have some decorum when asking for them. This server shares telltale signs that someone is going to be a bad tipper, demanding extra chips and salsa being one of them.

☕ It seemed like a simple order: A spritz of whipped cream on top of a frosted coffee. But, for one Chick-fil-A customer, it turned out to be a gateway to nastiness.
