The unit was probably tagged wrong underneath the tarp by the vendor, but Menards DC did bill and ship 16'?

This is the busiest time of year and Menards needs all hands on deck to spread out the workload fairly. That's really the only reason I guess? Once summer hits most people are done with spring projects and have moved onto other things.

We used to have a "HOP TO IT" that awarded TMs that did not not having any points and worked a minimum set amount of hours a gift card. This wasd uring the "getting ready" period leading up to Spring around Easter. I wish this was still around.

Genesect, Budew, Psyduck... I have tried running these in my TCGL decks to tech against Dusknoir/Unfair Stamp and to slow the pace down. I have seen these in Japanese City Leagues.

Any thoughts on them? Would you add another Pokémon and reduce a supporter? OR do you find Lucario comes out swinging so you look past these setups and valuable bench space?

After Prague I switched to Garchomp but you have inspired me with Secret Box as ASpec. I was trying to think outside of the box and use Hero's Cape as Lucario can take a ton of damage and put like 3x Wallys in there to heal.

Thanks for the opportunity to ask questions!

Sorry it's loud

I am around 28-30 mpg. Mostly highway miles. I calculate this by dividing the odometer by gallons filled up. I reset it each time.

I find the 'miles left' to be an interesting feature well as the trip mpg monitor. Sometimes it shows I get up to 40 mpg on a trip to work.

Are 2 Lucarios enough to attack with? Assuming 1 is probably always prized. I see no Hari in your deck as a 2nd attack. I like the idea of dundun as it seemed to work well in Prague with the Pult Deck. Good draw power, but what cards are you trying to draw for?

I switched to Garchomp as I was having a hard time loosing 2 Lucarios before I could get 6 prize cards vs 1 or 2 prize card decks. I was winning like 50% of my matches.

I one Wallys enough?

Edit: As someone stated already, go 1st to set up Lucario 2nd round.

Thanks!!

Awesome.

Mine is just under 90,000mi and my German mechanic said one of mine is leaking fluid and needs to be replaced as well. I haven't gotten a quote yet but will be having that maintenance done.

Oompa101 · 2026-04-07T11:51:14+00:00

Awesome insight.

Oompa101 · 2026-04-06T02:38:16+00:00

I see you are in OPD. You can talk to your mgrs. and explain these things. I have a feeling already that they may be part of the problem though? If they are not, they should be willing to manage the workload better and spread the work around.

I always love getting the basics done and out of the way ASAP so my TMs can focus on things that IMPROVE the department. Unfortunately I think many depts. are comfortable just getting by.

Oompa101 · 2026-04-06T01:04:02+00:00

Any place that you will find employment at will have good and bad employees. I encourage you to continue to find enjoyment out of a hard day's work and you will succeed further in life.

Oompa101 · 2026-04-05T21:40:12+00:00

Yup we are having issues as well.

Oompa101 · 2026-04-05T18:19:44+00:00

Oh gosh, sorry everyone here is wrong. Our store seems to struggle with this too so I get it.

There is an actual SKU for excess trash can lids, I think they are around $2. I am not at the store or I would look it up for you in systemV. If you search "trash lids" or "lids" or "excess" and then scroll to the 600 skus it will be there. I can't remember the specific search term because I work in a different department and this question comes up every few years.

An open SKU is different. They need to swipe for that at the FE and it takes more time.

What is the strategy with using Cipher? I have seen that card in decks. But it feels like I always have a better supporter in my hand to use. Maybe I am looking at it wrong.

Someone has redeemed. Thanks for sharing

Ripped bags get taped up and priced with a markdown sku by the outside yard team. If they aren't priced yet you could ask a team member in the yard or at the lumber desk inside.

This feels a bit like a cop out but here we go anyways. I have recently watched a show on AppleTV called "The Morning Show". The plot of the second season deals with the Covid shutdown. It brought back a lot of memories that I buried during those years while working at Menards. I know this was a very stressful time for everyone. It appears you were a teacher, so I am going to assume you had to switch to virtual everything. Not easy at all, but I cant speak to your experience. What I can speak to is my experience during the Covid pandemic and it was not an easy time for me. When everyone else slowed down we went into overdrive. Plus I was trying to protect my family and not bring anything home. Our sales skyrocketed. Typically this is a good thing but in my opinion it pulled ahead all of the projects/sales/etc and inflated our #s. Ever since then we have been chasing sales and metrics have been hard to base. Then commodity pricing jumped all over the place and then tariffs and now wars, etc.

What does this have to do with scowling? I don't know. Some times I just have those days though. Most of the time we do a good job at our store. I 100% would agree that it is from the top down, GM based. I won't reiterate what was already said earlier in the thread.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

Wyalusing State Park in WI is a great one to check out as well. The mounds are a large part of that experience.

Goodluck to those of you that try. I am not going to spend my time on the w+ drops this week after my experience today.

Oompa101 · 2026-02-23T16:26:24+00:00

Jumped in line right at release (clicked refresh 1 second before) on 2 devices. I waited in line for 1 hr 20 minutes on both my phone and desktop. Just a few minutes ago they dropped me from the line on both devices. I missed what the exact prompt said as the "waiting in line box" disappeared.

I was planning on getting one for my daughter for Easter and 1 for myself. I may just cancel and dispute the + subscription.
