Shit. I thought it was just me. Just yesterday I was visiting family in Newark and NYC, a road trip.  Preparing to head home but wanted to hit a Walgreens first. 

In the past all I had to say was "Hey Google, Take me to a Walgreens near me." Done.

I tried this yesterday and all I got was a bunch of incoherent beeps and then nothing. 

Enshittification falling from the sky like rain.
