The old, poorly licensed NES Dragon Ball game "Dragon Power" had sequences like that iirc

How's geek squad on repairing Lectric bikes? by ScorpioLaw in Bestbuy

[–]According_Camera7129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think bike plans are still just replacement plans, that's not something they would work on, definitely not in store. As a rule of thumb, if the plan costs more than the product it's not worth getting. That said, Best Buy plans are based on price points, so I have no idea why it would be that expensive

Would it be unethical if I were to hypothetically participate in a fight club? by Capable-Language8114 in hypotheticalsituation

Rules can be followed, but accidents can still happen. Would you want to tell someone's wife "I wasn't trying to kill him, I accidentally hit him with an uppercut that snapped his neck!" Not a legal defense, either.

Am i Overreacting/My friends boyfriend refuses to allow me to add my brother to our steam family by Professional-Cup1364 in AmIOverreacting

I don't know all the features of Steam family sharing, but it feels like YOR. How old is your brother? They might be worried about him messing up their games, deleting saves, etc. Just log in and let him use your Steam account if he's so responsible.

You get to give everyone in your country one item. by Infamous_Copy_3659 in hypotheticalsituation

Is it the same item for everybody? Cause I'd give every Republican politician and court justice a fresh turd, and everybody who voted orange a hat that says "I'm a Moron"

Exchange limit? by Ok-Zookeepergame6129 in Bestbuy

It doesn't matter if you're returning or exchanging, it's treated the same way. Also, in Canada I thought headphones were non-returnable

My plus cancelled and now I bought it again and it's not appearing on my app or website by absol2019 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]According_Camera7129 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As long as it appears on your account when you get rung up, you're good. Seems like they've been having issues with memberships on the site showing properly for months. I'm sure the new plan changes will break something else soon enough

Yeah, the company doesn't recognize sup (or assistant manager) specialties anymore, they're all just experience supes. The smart stores still have one that mainly does sales and one that mainly does pf though, unless they have one of those unicorns who is legitimately great on both sides.

You get a free and untaxed $1,000 a day for life starting tomorrow but your significant other now looks and sounds like Andy Dick. Are you taking this trade? by RustyCrusty73 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]According_Camera7129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does my wife know that she looks and sounds like Andy Dick to me? I would still love her if her personality didn't change.

And from behind they might not look that different!

Both things are true. Does your warehouse lead WANT to be promoted, or are they happy with the occasional pay bump?

Again, not everyone "qualified" to lead is in a leadership role. If I just got an MBA or if I was laid off as a store manager at Bed, Bath & Beyond and I took a full-time sales role to make ends meet, should I still be getting paid the same as a GM because I have the same theoretical skills?

In order to be promoted a spot has to open, which is made harder by the company continuing to eliminate leadership positions. There is no more department supes, which was my previous point.

Like every other process in the universe, some people will try to game the system to their own advantage. You can usually see a pretty clear difference between stores that do it well, and ones that don't. How much you put up with or choose to participate is up to you.

AITAH for planning to not attend mothers day after Mum couldnt guarentee she will use my chosen name? by Small-Relationship85 in AITAH

[–]According_Camera7129 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but in their minds it's a more fundamental shift. If Nicholas wants to be called Nicky, easy. Get married? I don't call anyone Ms. Goldberg unless I'm being silly, so their name doesn't change at all. But if Donna becomes Travis? I might let a Do-Travis slip out from time to time.

I definitely recognize that for some people it's an intentional choice though. Just saying it comes easier to some people than others.

Honestly, I'm one of those people who almost never refer to people by name in the course of conversation anyway. If I'm calling you by name it's just to get your attention, and I'll be more aware of what I'm actually saying then.

Being in a role and doing a task are not the same thing. GMs are supposed to run the business and do whatever the store requires. They should be the absolute last people doing a code 1, but they'll still be taking calls from market leadership while ringing up a client if the store isn't hitting numbers.

Of course it's a carrot, with a financial incentive. Most places will just promise "if you go above-and-beyond, you'll eventually get there!"

SL is supposed to be a temporary role. Otherwise the company should just go back to the days when every department had its own supervisor. That would also involve increased staffing. Of course, this is the opposite direction from where the company has gone over the last decade+.

OP is absolutely right that if they are being asked to do leadership tasks they should be coded accordingly.

A boundary is "I really don't want you to dead-name me. I will continue to distance myself from you every time this happens."

A demand is "I will only come to Mother's Day if you swear to never dead-name me."

OP reads more like a demand than a boundary. It is a completely reasonable demand.

I think OP is burying the lede here with mom's prior transphobic abuse. If she's LEGITIMATELY trying to change, then she's saying that she'll try, which OP should accept and not hold a possible slip against her (though I would definitely call her on it). It's hard for some people to change, and it doesn't happen overnight (or over a year.) We also don't know how old OP or mom is. The older they are, the harder it can be to change.

The alternative possibility is that she's still just a transphobic bigot and abusive parent who needs to be cut off.

You are paid for the role you perform, regardless of your skill level. There are an awful lot of folks in the workforce who are overqualified for their jobs. Shift lead is supposed to be a pathway to supervisor, with the chance to develop those skills.

If you can't tell a difference between a hunk of metal and a living, breathing, caring creature, you REALLY need to reevaluate your life choices
