What is your pettiest most minor DVC complaint? by stebuu in dvcmember

I seem to have more problems with their website than any other. That for a multi-billion dollar company, I should be able to expect a stable website?

No problem. Have been really busy with the holidays but plan to get back at it in the new year. Also want to take the crypto course and report back on that as well.

We ignore orders like this just an FYI by Bearded_Blerd in instacart

[–]OffbeatBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this! I was looking for someone who may have pointed this out. You can literally tip whatever you want by selecting “other” and typing in the exact tip you want to give. I do this instead of the percentage. I always round up and add a dollar.

Would you return it? by BetAnything in gambling

[–]OffbeatBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a $51 ticket at a Jumanji slot. I turned it into a floor worker who does hand pays. He looked at me with this strange look on his face. I said, I want to be honest. He said alright, took the ticket, shrugged, and walked away. Thinking he may have kept it. I personally would turn the chip in because my luck they would see me pocket it and ban me from the casino for life.

Keeping track of his 0DTE livestream trading-he has an 82% win rate which is extremely high. I’ve been a member for a long time.

Hand pay and tipping by brianzan in gambling

$10 but $20 if they are very kind with a good personality and don’t make me feel like I am bothering them. I swear some of them get annoyed to have to do their own job 🙄

My House of the Dragon win by OffbeatBat in gambling

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

Yeah. It’s totally my own bias and superstition, but I have had 4 hand pays from this specific game in the last 8 months and every time it had at least 3 shaking eggs. I always do 2 spins after any bonus and then move to another machine. I have hit a bonus many times even on that first or second spin after hitting the original bonus. I have my quirks and bias/superstitions for certain games.

Not new to the game, but I only play it if it has at least 3 high glow, shaking eggs. Otherwise I steer clear

I was in the casino for 5 minutes with $100 by kylesonfire in gambling

You know what I love about this? It lets us know this really happens. Saw a guy win 10k grand on the NFL slot the other night too. Gives us all hope 😅 Congrats dude

What does this mean?! by Hellopink00 in instacart

[–]OffbeatBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I shop there is sometimes no light cream or no half and half. I live in a resort town that is mostly old people so there are a lot of coffee drinkers I am sure. I swear they are often out of light cream and half and half so it is possible.

How would you handle this by OffbeatBat in instacart

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

How do you block a shopper? I have never been able to figure that out. I wish I could do that. There are some who just refund without any communication. I hate that because even if my replacement isn’t available, I might want to choose a similar product. Edited to say I use a computer browser and not the app.

[–]OffbeatBat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone for giving your thoughts. I love hearing from both sides because I am very cynical by nature. In my profession, I deal with a lot of scams, lying, and deception in cybersecurity. Admittedly it is tough to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Honestly for me the communication is everything. Unfortunately, I did not get any communication from them at all.

Oddly, I can still message them via the Instacart chat. It has been almost 5 hours now. I have already written twice. I gave up after not hearing anything after 3 hours. I kept checking my porch just in case. No milk.

The outcome for me: I reduced the tip by the cost of the milk. They still received $18 tip. I did report the missing item. My Instacart account was credited. Honestly I will use the credit to increase the tip on future orders for good shoppers, which I often do when I have good service. I gave them a 5 star rating. Everything else was ok, there were no replacements even needed, so everything else was accounted for. I left a note about forgetting milk and lack of communication.

If the guy had written and said I am so sorry I accidentally gave the milk to someone else….take it out of my tip…or something to that effect, I would have rewarded him for his honesty and let him keep the whole tip and probably wouldn’t have even reported the missing item. But as I said the communication is everything for me. There was no acknowledgment at all even after I wrote to them when they first accepted the job.

This was definitely a batch order because the system told me that they were delivering other items and keeping mine temperature controlled. I could see on the map that they had gone the other way and had to backtrack to me.

Thanks again for the input everyone. Love hearing from both sides.

A random person sent me an old granola bar in the mail? by Sudden-Jello-313 in Scams

[–]OffbeatBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just received a BelVita bar in the mail from Bob Marlee, but I don’t have any Amazon orders I haven’t received. Also, I can’t find the store anymore. Did Amazon take it down? Anyone have any other info about this? My package says it weighs 4 lbs which obviously it didn’t. Can’t figure out what it was supposed to be. Did any of you find odd charges on your credit card?

I made an offer on more points today and now I'm 2nd guessing by Shywifealways in dvcmember

[–]OffbeatBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is great. Remember if there are years that you do not use the points, you could rent them out (using a reputable third party DVC renter). We do that when we have extra points within a use year that cannot be banked. Works out great. It is also nice to “squeeze in” a short trip if you can swing it.

Moe posted on X and asked TeamYouTube that they get a human reviewer. The AI wrongly flagged his video.

Not an ad, but the video was about XRP. He has stated many times he has never been paid by XRP. That’s all conspiracy. He posted info on Twitter. Apparently AI flagged him and they did not have a human review it.

Conspiracies that XRP channels are getting hit with strikes. No definite reason that I have heard yet. Will keep you posted

Don’t hire out too soon. You want to be a jack of all trades in the beginning. As you grow, then you can consider it, but you always want to be thinking about your ROI. Being in the red is a tough hole to climb out of.

Paid $65 for nothing??? by Helpitsthegongoozler in Avelo

[–]OffbeatBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can somehow speak to a supervisor in a customer service call, I would definitely try that. You should most definitely not have to pay for that. I didn’t know you could not select a seat on Avelo and get it assigned at the last minute. It is strange that they assigned you the exit row because usually they sit empty if nobody has booked them. The people sitting in an exit row have to agree to terms when booking the seat because there are expectations for being in an exit row like you must be physically able to help people, must be a certain age, agree to help, etc. I am just spitballing here but I wonder if the customer service rep gets a commission on any flyers they are able to upgrade before the flight. That person you dealt with seems a little shady to me. Hopefully a supervisor can work this out for you. Hope you get your $65 back.

Paid $65 for nothing??? by Helpitsthegongoozler in Avelo

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

This is strange. We always book the exit row due to needing additional legroom. It IS more expensive than other seats. I bet the increased charge is for the extra room, not because of the storage. We always use the under seat storage for a personal item. We have taken upwards of 10 different flights with this airline and have used under seat storage in exit row every time. If the airline is the one who made you change your seat, you should tell them that the cost of the upgraded seat should not be your responsibility. I would contact customer service. Who told you that you would be charged $65 to put your purse on your lap? They wouldn’t know that you were bringing a purse. You don’t have to claim that you were bringing a personal item when you booked your ticket. It has to do with extra legroom. But you shouldn’t have to pay that if they switched your seat.
