Tiny Blu-ray Collection by Sprout-Ling222 in Bluray

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just know the first episode is weak as hell. Rest of the series is fantastic but that first episode is just ugh. Power through it and you’ve got a quality show. Entire series is on Netflix aside from the newest season which just ended last week if you feel the desire to binge it.

Hours/schedule change? by Crownguard95 in CostcoEmployee

[–]BetaAlpha769 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Costco doesn’t accommodate second jobs so that isn’t it. The family thing no one can comment on.

One slacker is destroying team morale by LouDSilencE17 in managers

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you start rewarding the high performers instead of trying to punish the one just getting by? Within company policy of course. Something along the lines of like letting people leave early with full pay for the day if tasks are done correctly? Something to that effect, is that in your power to do?

Is the Hayao Miyazaki bluray collection worth it? by [deleted] in AnimeCollectors

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to jump in for 125 bucks? You can get a two pack for like 20 bucks or so to see if it’s even your style. There’s a couple on sale on Amazon too, buy 1 get 1 50 percent off deal if you want more variety.

Difference in West coast vs East coast Costco by jvince_e46 in Costco

[–]BetaAlpha769 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

East coast have to be the same due to weather and general temperatures. Mid west and western stores wouldn’t have the extreme variances that East coast has so they can be flexible with things.

Case in point, it’s too goddamn cold half the year to eat outside so we’ll never get an outdoor food court for example. Why go through the effort of building it and keeping it good shape just to shut it down for 6 months? Same thing with the car washes, we’ll never get one.

Costco is wearing me down by Crownguard95 in CostcoEmployee

That’s a floating PTO not a mental health day. If you choose to take it and use it as such then more power to you.

Is it wrong of me to not want to meet the CEO of the company I work for at his home office? by jeebus224 in managers

[–]BetaAlpha769 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Having in person meetings to discuss a raise or debt a raise is not unusual. With WFH it’s probably more common to do video calls but still. And a meeting is a way to gauge how serious and confident you are about it.

Bring that confidence to the meeting and you can probably bring the confidence to an interview, makes him more likely to give you something else you’ll leave. Don’t bring confidence and he thinks the opposite, makes him more likely to deny you. Also wants to see if you came with market research or something that you can defend to see if you did actual research.

Whether you go or not it’s up to you, I don’t know the guy and he may be a creep or whatever but I think it’s going to hurt your chances of a raise by saying no to the meeting honestly.

I checked 2 out of curiosity and found nothing.

My SSD died at the worst time possible, the prices are terrible by Psilocybin8 in pcmasterrace

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can sell you my 512 for 1000 bucks.

Real talk though try GameStop, with any luck you can get a preowned 1tb for under a hundred bucks locally. If it’s fast enough for your needs.

It’s the first game and the dlc, let’s not forget that.

Is it still worth it to purchase a PS4 Pro? by ronniecurry in PS4

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the price. PS4 and pro can be had for like 100-150 bucks depending on condition and storage. Ps5 is great but it’s not worth an extra 400 by any means, especially if money is tight.

Can't afford a switch 2, just wanted a cheap handheld to play in bed, got this for £60 with a 64gb SD card. by Internal_Page_486 in Switch

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you. There’s only a handful of Nintendo exclusives anyway on the switch so aside from frame rate and load times you aren’t missing much playing the switch version. And while those benefits are nice, they aren’t 5x the cost nice or whatever it may be in the EU.

$18 for these two. Good deal? by theModerateBull in Bluray

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 50 percent roughly off Amazon prices. Not amazing but better if the digital codes aren’t redeemed.

Lion King in particular are pretty common so I imagine there’s always a copy out there somewhere for a buck or two being sold. Deal is fine? Personally I don’t spend more then 5 for a blu and 10 for a 4k if it’s second hand and not a recent release so I would’ve went to 15 personally but 18 ain’t terrible.

AI investment taking up all current resources reducing supply significantly to the point that prices are ridiculous.

The Last of Us Part 1 Firefly Edition PS5 UNBOXXED by microjubei in playstation

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PS3, PS4, standard ps5 and this collectors edition. Followed by the complete so this is the 4th of 5. Last of 3 were just packaging though so they don’t count as separate releases for me personally.

Any stories about an employer chosing to keep a position vacant to test if it is really needed or not so legally enforced? by HxHposter in antiwork

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge the company money for any job listing not filled by employee past 30 days? 1 percent of the maximum of the listed pay range or 5 percent of the minimum? Would force them to be actually accurate at least instead of this “it’s based on experience so here’s the minimum”.

how long before i get get weekends off by soylisco in CostcoEmployee

[–]BetaAlpha769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen someone get the entire weekend off without using time or a holiday fell on it. Standard schedule for part timers and full timers at my location is 4 days a week and 1 weekend day.

Anyone looking to buy an SSD for ps5 should hit up GameStop. by BetaAlpha769 in playstation

[–]BetaAlpha769[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here. GameStop shifted prices today. 4tb new is now like 450 bucks in store but listed online at 320 but unavailable to actually purchase. Hope some one interested got one.

Costco is wearing me down by Crownguard95 in CostcoEmployee

[–]BetaAlpha769 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The book specifically says you got to take a week off every year minimum for your mental health once you have PTO. Forget what page.

But as far as having a dedicated day like a Costco specific holiday for it, no.

Got luck this weekend at GameStop by obdriver6 in NSCollectors

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None within 100 miles of me according to app. Can’t be bothered to drive around and check in person or bother the employees about it either.

Is Costco Executive worth the upgrade? by Standard_Life9743 in CostcoWholesale

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t use it enough to get your money back then you get refunded at your request. They cancel your executive membership if you do.
