I use in-store pickup at Best Buy almost any time I buy something there. I don't have to worry about it being out of stock, and even better, I don't have to go find it in the store.

I always ride in the backseat. It gives the driver his or her personal space, lets them use the front seat for their snack or bag or whatever, and feels more professional/businesslike to me.

It's not about how much data it hogs -- it's that for prepaid plans (which are the vast majority of overall subscribers worldwide), when your data runs out it often just completely turns off until you get another top-up card.
