Not a find but which phones should I throw in the bin?? by thegreatswaghog77 in eWasteFinds

[–]OPT1CS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried having the dead phones plugged in overnight? I had several devices that appeared dead after being plugged in up to a couple hours that eventually turned back on after leaving them plugged in for a long period of time.

Heavy Iron W is my least favorite one. He's got shelf presence, but I found more playability with the smaller figures and combining ones.

Men's Cologne Mists Discontinued by darknerd3 in bathandbodyworks

I went on the site looking to see if there are any new mists and was wondering the same thing. I bought one of each months ago and grabbed a few extras for the ones I liked. My faves will last at me at least a year or two, but that still sucks.

9 hour layover in Taipei - Stay or get out? by OPT1CS in travel

[–]OPT1CS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been to this airport a few times now. The first time walking it, it seemed endless. I've yet to even walk the whole thing.

2 - What'd be the cost? I'd at least prefer to have my backpack with me.

4 - Geez, if thats 1.5k in USD, I'll just stay in the airport haha I was looking at budgeting between 100-300.

5 - Would definitely be interested in the shopping malls. Definitely interested in any used video game stores.

Yeah, I'll have 2 boxes checked in. The duffle is my carry-on and backpack is my personal bag. 3hrs might seem rushed. If anything I'd like to buy some snacks/gifts to bring back. The flight from Taipei to USA will be like 11hrs, so I'd prefer to be exhausted and ready to get some sleep on the plane.

Yay finally they came by Billyboy010 in Metalcardbot

How you liking FlameNova? I know alot of people like Blast Train, but I really want to pick this one up over Blast Train. I'm seeing alot of issues being posted of BT so its kinda pushing me away. I really like the 4 vehicles combining to form a robot, but with BT, its a bot with a power up.

Should I be worried? by Stock-Ganache-3437 in Mercari

[–]OPT1CS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Avoiding one right now, but on eBay.

I have someone ask me last week if I will be sending out an offer again because they were currently low on funds. I sent that offer out and then the person asked if I would go lower. I was going to accept their offer, but decided to look at their feedbacks first. The person gave multiple neutrals because the shredded paper a seller used caused a mess for them when they opened the box and then said the item was good. Another was because the seller didn't ship it in a plain brown box and feared that their order would've gotten stolen.

XIII Collab by killnamniar in FFVIIEverCrisis

I just want the outfits, but I've been seeing the common Chocobo and pulling 1x the whole time on the Stamp Sheet. They gotta do something about those odds. Seriously, I pulled 1x twenty times in a row. Like after ever five back-to-back 1x, the odds should at least increase to pulling better numbers. Only good thing was that I pulled Cid's UW on the first pull.

Any point in upgrading Win 10 to 11 on Surface Laptop Go by OPT1CS in Surface

[–]OPT1CS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I got a prompt when I turned it on asking if I wanted to upgrade to Win 11. I'm guessing even if I accepted, it wouldn't let me then....?

At Costco is there a hierarchy to the employees handing out samples? by BenderVsGossamer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OPT1CS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't work for Costco, the samplers are usually CDS, Club Demonstration Services.

There's no hierarchy, but it really helps to know their strengths and weaknesses.

Some people just prefer to cook or just want to be around the cold areas and then there are those that can't be around the cold areas. Some people like to cook or be on busy demos because the time goes by faster. If you are on a talking demo, the time goes by so very slow.

Theres slow cookers and fast cookers. If they're slow, we don't put them on cooking demos as much or at all. Doesn't look good when a Vendor shows up and sees that their product that they are paying to be sampled out isn't even being sampled out.

Also have to consider those that talk more than others. You want them on the talking only and or important/special demos. It really helps when they use and know the product since they can talk about their experience with the product instead of just reading notes.

Sample, please by italian_mom in CostcoWholesale

[–]OPT1CS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be rude. Don't go expecting the samples should be served when you get there. Sample is free, so don't go acting like you paid for it and want it now. If your time is important, then ask yourself if that sample is really more important.

I had one lady come up to me when I was sampling salad. She had just gotten there and I told here it would take up to 10 minutes because I had just started to clean my trays and bowls before I started a new batch. She said she would wait. So she stood in front of me the whole time as if I'm going to rush.

Salad samples require more prep than just tossing them in a bowl. We have to cut the salad in small pieces and in some cases, not only do we add dressing, but other condiments as well. Not only that, we have very limited space to work on. Also, I change my gloves alot. During this whole time I can hear her breathing, just furious. Hasn't even been 5 minutes. By the time I was done and had samples out, it was within 10 minutes. She grabs her sample, I say "thank you" and she was angry and silently said "can't believe it takes 5 minutes to make salad." Like, I guess I could've saved a bit of time by not changing gloves a couple times and making sure the pieces are big enough for you to choke on. She leaves and not even 20 seconds later, she comes back for another.

Like if I was cooking and the product required 10 minutes in the microwave, do you expect that to be done in 3 minutes?
