TIL a local comic shop's pull list system changed my whole collecting habit

I wandered into Cosmic Collectibles over on 3rd Street last Saturday after ignoring it for years. Turned out they keep a detailed pull list with free bag and board for every issue you reserve. I signed up on the spot and now I don't miss any Wednesday releases. It cost me $0 upfront but saved me the gas of hunting down hot variants later. Plus the owner showed me how to sort my back issues by event arcs. Has anyone else found a shop that changed how you organize your pulls?

Does your shop do that thing where they alphabetize your pulls by villain name?

Kept my pulls in a comic shop for three years back in 2017. Never went to a single Wednesday release because they shipped everything to my house. Saved me from impulse buys at the register every week. Had to pick up a minimum of five issues per month though. That rule actually helped me drop titles I was only reading out of habit.
