You used to be able to get:
a free churchkey at any liquor store (the software here doesn't even like the word "churchkey")
a free yardstick at any hardware store
a free carpenter's pencil at any lumberyard
a free road map at any gas station
Okay, I admit it. This is just a gratuitous post to try to build my post count. "Junior member"? Sheesh. But at least I didn't mention the coronavirus.

I remember Barny walling up some guy brick by brick in a part of his mansion. Terrified the crap out of me. I slept with my gun in bed with me that night. Like that would work against the un dead. ::)

The video quality sucks but still... one of the best scenes in the whole series. Barnabas lecturing Trask about his persecution of Victoria Winters, ending with “I will show you no mercy,” as he stares down the terrified Trask. While they’re standing over a coffin!

It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial cost and blamed it on the cost of living.

Or did they have to do twenty million takes for each arrangement before it accidentally hit the mark? I couldn’t believe he was bouncing it off TVs and stuff and getting it in there on the first try.

There are cans that don't have pull tabs?
a free yardstick at any hardware store
Must be before my time, never got one ever. Can't see why they would either.
a free carpenter's pencil at any lumberyard
I tend to have a pencil already in my pocket on those few occasions when I work with wood.
a free road map at any gas station
I never got a free map at any station ever, though they had good ones for sale. Of course only a true Luddite needs one of those things in this day and age.

Perhaps it's because they don't like you?

There are still canned goods with no pull tabs, and there are still bottles that require a bottle opener which don't have screw off bottle caps.

We're about the same age, you may even be older than me and I remember when hardware stores gave out free yardsticks. Why? It was good advertising for them.

Ever hear of redundancy? Why does your airplane have two magnetos, a vacuum system and an electrical system? I always have a compass and map with me on the road or in the air in case the GPS system goes down. I've had electrical failures in the plane where all I had was a chart, magnetic compass and watch to navigate. Also, when out in the woods I navigate strictly my map and compass. Am I a "Luddite"?

I like using charts to see the big picture rather than looking at things through a soda straw that you get to use with GPS displays

And another thing...
If "loose" is how we now spell "lose", then how do we spell the word formerly known as "loose"? "Luce"?

You obviously don’t fly a fancy Mooney, so yes.
