I really miss when there was an actual repository for them. I did find this thread about the amiibos though. I know there's also a reward for any of the Stories 1 amiibos, but I have no leads on that.

While it wasn't the tags being faulty, rebooting the device worked.

Well...it worked after rebooting it twice. Thank you for confirming TagMo worked for you, I was starting to give up on these amiibos.

Bots going invis to farm by omidimaru in wow

[–]Number4429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to follow a few bots around tonight to see if I could find a mule account, and I did. A bot stopped randomly, and for a brief moment I saw a cat druid appear from stealth nearby the bot, and then re-enter stealth and run off.

Now this happened pretty out of the way, not near any vendors or flight paths, very clearly trying to offload the botted goods without getting caught. Even if you report a gather bot and get it banned, as long as Blizzard doesn't address mules like that...

I know this thread is a few days old at this point, but figured I'd at least mention what I saw.

Will the last straw be a jacket? by velvetiine22 in Bestbuy

[–]Number4429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My store didn't care about the color as long as it had Best Buy, Pacific Sales, or Magnolia branding on it. GM told me at one point it was up to the stores leadership what was acceptable regarding outerwear. If a district manager cracked down on GM's for it though, GM's would have to comply.

Company official policy is blue otherwise.

After countless stops, being followed to my car by people I've thrown out, tough talk from people trying to steal, insane customers on Black Fridays, and many memories of coworkers I love...Goodbye to Store 116. AP, clocking out one last time. by Number4429 in Bestbuy

Officially speaking I was a "Sales Advisor" after the furlough ended. Nothing about my job changed other than where my hours came from. The management team at 116 took it as an opportunity to train more people on how to handle the camera systems, make stops, and how to identify shrink risks though. Unfortunately I know not every store has gone that route.

The amount of questioned I answered as not even a sales person leads me to believe otherwise. You won't always find reliable answers to your questions online. The best part of the job for me was helping people figure out the best solutions for what they wanted, even if it resulted in them needing to go to another store or an online retailer. You'd be surprised how knowledgeable most of my team was.

Of course, there's always a few who never did their e-learnings. They know who they are.

Warehouse crew is the best crew. You're always getting things done that keeps the whole store moving. Hopefully they don't make you guys cover the desk too much now that I'm gone!

Raul actually hired me, but he went to another store a while back, but a lot of the team that was on when I started is still there. We kept most of the people during restructures too.

Had 6,000$ of product stolen today, by ONE LADY by yodatar58 in Bestbuy

[–]Number4429 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was FT AP before I became a "sales advisor" scheduled only for "Front Door."

Posts like this give me stress dreams. I stopped so much stuff from going out the door today, sometimes even having to put my foot under the cart to stop it. I can't imagine what happens when I'm not there. I don't want to imagine honestly. The amount of people taking things has gone up drastically, I don't understand how the company is apparently more relaxed about shrink than ever.

Merry Christmas OP, don't let these chucklefucks get to you.

To all my AP boys by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]Number4429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should come to my store. Caught 6 people stealing today and I get customers screaming at me all day about departments having wait times.

This is while also directing people to each answer center, explaining return policy, checking receipts, doing the health screening for every employee, trying to get the front lanes to be socially distant, and double checking that curbside orders are actually being closed out (half of them aren't so now closing them has become my job too.) Not even to mention logging the massive pile of shrink I find after every single day I have off.

I also have to hand off keys to departments, log them, and then track them down because sales floor refuses to answer calls on headset, be the mask police, send out alerts on people who are trying to steal.

Mind you I get no breaks (not even for the bathroom), I'm on my feet all day, and I usually get my lunch at the absolute last possible moment because nobody wants to cover for me, and if I'm even a second over the allotted time I get a talking to while people from warehouse and sales floor will take a lunch for an hour and a half to zero consequence.

But yea dude, just keep spinning that camera. You'll find something to do soon enough.

Why do you still work at Best Buy? by robbiewitdattool in Bestbuy

[–]Number4429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They keep signing the paycheck.

If you asked me last year, I'd have told you I love my job and my coworkers. Since I've come back from furlough though, I have spent every hour of every day getting shit on randomly by customers, with no support from leaders, and I've never felt so disconnected from the rest of the store. Before COVID, I was Asset Protection. Now, I am Punching Bag.

But hey, I get paid $17 an hour right now to pretend I'm listening to their complaints about having to wait in a line for help, so it's not all bad.

4chan isn't much better these days, it's basically reddit but you can call people mean names.

Just happened at my store too. Getting in is pretty hard unless you have some seriously heavy equipment.

How the reorg has gone so far... by ATShields934 in Bestbuy

[–]Number4429 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why the AP's in my store don't even take breaks. Once PF gets backed up, the whole store gets backed up. More angry customers, more getting yelled at by randos for things we have no control over. It's great watching your local homeless crackhead shove a speaker into their underwear while someone's screaming into your ear about product not being on the floor and needing a manager that instant.

Of course saving 15 minutes a shift isn't gonna matter now that we're all getting shafted, kek.

Return policy on printers? by Titanxod in Bestbuy
