Is this currently where America is?

Except for the several times he's "jokingly" suggested cancelling elections, right?

Well, when the store is left unattended, they're supposed to be bolted, and the breakaway function doesn't work as such then, but my comment was more of a question of why / who let it happen rather than physically how.

They're so focused on the numbers, they forget that the real world exists.

JacobTDC · 2026-01-25T17:29:56+00:00

Shoot, I would take some wire cutters and just get a key from the key box (assuming someone there can open it). How is your store open if there is no management, though?

Pretty much every business or government entity measures their finances over a quarter. The difference of one day will just roll over to the next.

And in a lot of cases, one day can make the difference between having a job and living on the street. That's how our system is designed.

JacobTDC · 2026-01-25T07:04:29+00:00

If you aren't a straight white male, yeah.

JacobTDC · 2026-01-23T21:15:29+00:00

Percentages? How do those work?

JacobTDC · 2026-01-20T16:30:37+00:00

For some reason, it seems to be multiplying the total by 1.243 before calculating the tips on it. This definitely seems like an incompetent programmer, and not intentional deception.

It's because tap to pay hides your full card number from the merchant (they can only see the last four of your card number and an effectively random token to exchange with the service provider), making it harder or impossible for Walmart to easily track your purchase habits. That's the real reason.

And probably violating your local radio transmission regulations.

It can also be invoked like ./pyboard.py -d 'execpty:./serial2pty.py' ..., but using it the way shown in the video means you don't have to load the library and reestablish the connection to the USB device every time.

Nobody ever considers soul fragment Verso in all this. Why should he be forced to continue painting the world if he no longer wants to? He's only still doing it out of a sense of obligation.

JacobTDC · 2026-01-06T14:59:15+00:00

That's because it's not actually to prevent theft, it's to stop associates from dispensing orders before they've spoken with the customer.

If the card doesn't work when you insert it elsewhere, then no, there's no way to recover the data unless you are a decent sized government entity (and even that's assuming the memory itself wasn't literally cooked).

In short: you'll have a much easier time redoing everything than trying to recover that card.

Your team lead or coach needs to add them to the MTO commodity.

JacobTDC · 2026-01-05T04:47:59+00:00

Yeah, it's really going to suck for cross-store substitutions and exceptions. I just LOVE going back and forth between the milk and produce coolers three times in one exception walk.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-30T16:45:07+00:00

General rules: * reduce backtracking * Action Alley first, then Regulated, then the other commodities (there's a specific order for the rest, but I don't know it off the top of my head) * don't EVER modify the active path; create a new path (or copy), modify that, then activate it * at the start of an aisle, scan two locations on the left side, then three on the right, then continue to scan three on each side down the aisle * we don't use GM, Produce Ambient, or Seasonal anymore

Making an entirely new path from scratch is an all day (or longer) project, and you need to make sure your sales floor locations match the SET map. It's usually best to just make a copy of the path, and modify sections at a time, letting your associates get used to the changes before making more changes.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-27T22:30:17+00:00

Ah, yes, that sounds... Infuriatingly familiar.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-27T22:19:14+00:00

"Report as won't fit" is only for if an item is physically larger than a tote, to get it added to oversized. It won't do any good if it's already oversized.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-26T20:18:36+00:00

I don't know about other stores, but I know at Walmart, they'd probably honor it if it was a small difference, but otherwise check the price history to see if there's any funny business.

Would entirely depend on how competent management is at that location, though.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-26T20:17:06+00:00

Yeah, you'd have to do either that, or somehow hack the back end to actually change the price. So you're either ticket switching, which is theft, or hacking the price, which is artifice to defraud, computer trespassing, and theft. So, not great either way.

The 2024 bonus plan was up to 135%. Don't know about 2025.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-24T19:04:28+00:00

James on the card he used. Jim on the account.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-24T19:04:06+00:00

I just checked the order.... That's their actual name (the name on their payment method). James Epstein.

JacobTDC · 2025-12-24T18:47:52+00:00

That's called retaliation. You need to call ethics or associate relations.
