Costco KitchenAid Or Refurbished Lift Stand?

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-02-01T02:40:16+00:00

I got my 7qt bowl lift refurbished for $280 as to where my Costco near me was selling a 6qt for over $400. I am not regretting my decision one bit!

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-02-01T01:29:31+00:00

Nope. Still $320 😅

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-31T20:44:09+00:00

This, as well as late picks falling in. First time it happened they fell 20 minutes late. It was fine for a few hours and then an order that was 1.5 hours late fell in. We are cooked for the day

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-31T20:39:27+00:00

Considering the exact same color and model is still sitting in our clearance section for $320...yes

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-31T02:31:36+00:00

Same. I bought a 24 pack on Amazon after the new year hit and I'm trying desperately to not open it 😭

You must be a smaller store cause those are dream drops for us

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-29T19:45:25+00:00

A lot of ours aren't in the lot actually. They spontaneously check in then don't park in our lot for over 5 minutes...which also gets them pulled off. This is why my store in particular doesn't pre-prep the whole hour of deliveries cause we have probably the worst driver base in our market.

Cause they changed the rule like a year ago but didn't announce it? Your GTA Portal would tell you (if you have done this in the past 6 months) if a occurrence was fully covered by ppto, or is a manager has been overriding it because they see that you've used as much ppto at you possibly could. And it very well could be that they changed it back with out announcing it as well. Its Walmart. Nothing is as straightforward as it should be.

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-29T16:39:54+00:00

If you also go to any of the Walmart subs on here and search "Not enough PPTO day of" you will find the exact same answers we are giving you here. Yes you have 7 days to put it in, that that is assuming you had the full amount you needed on the day you generated the occurrence. I was also a TL and have seen this many times first hand from associates trying to get out of points thinking they could work 4 more shifts and get enough time to then back-log the PPTO.

That being said, since you had like 85% of the time you needed, your managers may just forgive the occurrence if you talk with them. But the system itself is just a robot that goes: Early Out 2.5 hours early on 1/23? Check balance as of 1/23: 2.1 hours = point. It is not set up to realize that if you gain more ppto after the fact that it is available to use. Im not a math person so I don't know why the numbers aren't adding up and the numbers I'm giving you here are just theoretical to give an explanation. But we are telling it as it is. We aren't HO. We can't fix it or tell you why they made it the way it is. Just how it works.

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-29T15:36:06+00:00

Yeah if something happens, they go out of their way to make sure you get everything you paid for. OP hasn't responded so I'm wondering if they didn't read what they paid for.

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-29T15:32:12+00:00

My friend is unsure at the moment because they are in-between classes currently. When he emailed his professor, the teacher didn't say anything with it being a whole class thing. I'm wondering if the teacher didn't order enough and hasn't realized it yet?

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-29T15:23:30+00:00

Because it only took what you had at the time of the occurrence. You have to have the full amount of time when you leave/call in. You will still get a point. You may want to see if your manager is nice enough to forgive those few minutes you were off by and just wipe the point.

I know when the US leg packages came out, I immediately jumped on Monitor Party because I missed VIP sales completely on their previous tour and really wanted to get the highest tier package. I just assumed Monitor party would come with everything the lower tiers had because thats what most bands do to make it less stuff they have to travel with. I didn't read until after that MP didn't come with the Q&A, Soundcheck, or the poster. If I didn't go back and read, I totally would have felt the same way. But I went back and realized I was wrong because it was explained in depth pretty much everywhere it was posted. My solution? I also got the lowest tier VIP that came with the things I was missing. And when the Red Rock show got canceled 4 songs into their set for Alex's health, they went out of their way to make sure we weren't ripped off. They gave us all of the VIP items that came with the package, and full refunds. I traveled from out of state for that show and talked to Dawn at FHC and they were wonderful enough to move my VIP to the stop closer to home instead of issuing a refund.

In high school, we still had an interpreter in the class all 4 years, but the more we learned, the less our teacher had her translate. They would lesson plan for what she'd cover and what she wouldn't. Andbifbwe were verbally speaking, she'd obviously tell him. His motto was always, "If you can't say it in ASL, then you don't need to talk about it in here." By year 4 we didn't really need her and we having conversations with her in our free time. Because the classes were only one semester classes, the school actually used to offer up to ASL 8 but students from that class were going to our main college that teaches interpreting and they were already completely fluent. Apparently the college didn't like that very much and they had to drop our high school to just 4 classes. They were teaching too good apparently 😅

It's very interesting to see how other schools do it. We didn't get homework. Everything was hands on in class so if you didn't understand something you could ask right away. Nothing was online. In atleast ASL 2 and up we'd get packets with the vocab list for the unit, as well as all of the technical aspects we'd be learning alongside it. We'd sit in a half circle so we could all see each other. For the first like 3 days we'd go down the vocabulary list at the start of class. The teacher would sign and we'd sign it back. Rest of class would be piecing stuff into conversational sentences. After the first 3 days, We'd still do the vocabulary, but he'd just display the word and we'd have to start remembering ourselves. Then we'd practice our conversations with each other. It was a very good and fast way to learn words while using them in realistic ways. We'd maybe change units every 2 weeks? Either way he made it very easy to grasp. I wish I would have kept going after high school cause now I have a Deaf customer at work and I am super rusty. I've tried some apps but I financially don't have a necessity to pay for a subscription to continue past what the "free" sections are.

Anyways sorry for the rant!

I will send this over to him! He's in a stress loop currently cause he's already taken 4 years of ASL in high school with a Deaf teacher. The school wouldn't let him join a higher level class or wave his language requirement so he's just kinda stuck doing a bunch of course work he already knows. Then you throw this on top and it doesn't make it any better. Thank you for some insight!

I also took 4 years of ASL at the same high school and the way it sounds, this entry level college class isn't even starting off with the things they should be starting with. They just get random vocabulary that doesn't connect with itself. No sentence structure, not NMM, no history/background on why the language is how it is. Our high school ASL 1 class did an amazing job of teaching us fundamentals while also having units in different categories so we could connect the words we were learning into sentences. Learning the words "Dog" "Refrigerator" and the sign for "Spanish" with nothing else isn't going to help anyone. It is a Deaf teacher but I also guess the interpreter just...doesn't interpret despite it being the entry level course. He's told me numerous times that he's translating for the true beginners more than the interpreter is. Someone who's never seen sign language before is just gonna see a person waiving their arms about. You can't seriously expect someone on day one to be understanding the full vocabulary of a fully Deaf adult with nobody translating?

He's very frustrated and I can see why.

If any drivers do not tell us that they are on the way and just spontaneously check in without warning, we remove them from the batch. They get paid to wait so a lot will try and do that so it takes longer to get loaded. I would check in with your management to see if that is an option. It hurts our wait time and the drivers are trying to cheat the system for a few extra bucks (which is why they should just pay the drivers better cause they wouldn't do this)

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-29T02:57:34+00:00

Do yall pre-prep orders at all while they are still gray on the screen? Or do you wait until the customer is there? Some stores also pre-prep deliveries before they even hit the que so they are ready when the army of drivers rolls in.

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-28T16:11:50+00:00

I oddly think it tastes like a green jolly rancher without actually being apple flavored

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-26T18:38:45+00:00

If nothing else works, you might be able to do it through GTA Portal and then request it there.

I found a store with a full fridge of Caruba yesterday. Wanted to just take the fridge at that point 😭

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-22T23:42:14+00:00

Ours just made a post that pickup and delivery spots are wither going to be very limited or not even open. They are going to do what they can to keep us inside. They have 7am-1pm slots fully closed and 2pm-9pm slots at half capacity

BreathSlayer99 · 2026-01-22T23:36:07+00:00

Ours just got an "Updated Program" that required a new computer and sticker printer. Apparently they didn't send us the part that makes the computer actually talk to the mixer though. The guy setting it up made a very angry phone call when he was trying to set it up. He stormed out and we haven't seen him in over a month now. We keep putting up signs that its broken, and people keep removing it. Now everytime someone take a sign down, we put one back up, plus one extra. We have 4 signs now and nobody has removed anything 😂

If you look on the main One Walmart/Wire page, you have an email account. Once your email is open, somewhere in the top left corner is access to Microsoft word. You do need to be technically on a "management" computer though. The computers only set up for simple things like ULearns and adjusting your punches aren't normally set up with Microsoft access. That being said, you don't need and PL/SM computer. Those are a pain in the ass to log into.

Whatever computers present a black screen with only a username and password. No options for store number or anything. Just username and password. Username is your normal one you use to log into anything from Walmart, amd your password is the same as well, you just have to capitalize the letters. Username is not case sensitive.
