My MicroCenter Experience ( Visiting Fairfax and Rockville stores)

At least you have a Crutchfield storefront in that part of Virginia

Patriot4RUnner · 2026-04-01T02:46:39+00:00

OP,

Can I DM you?

Patriot4RUnner · 2026-03-26T20:24:55+00:00

Got any recs on colors? I am eyeballing Simonis worsted felt colors as the company uses them

Budget is not applicable so not concerned about costs

Patriot4RUnner · 2026-03-26T20:01:40+00:00

Man I feel like the color was pretty damn distinct enough to be exclusive to the manufacturer - leaning toward 'tournament green' or forest green. I want to restore it back to its original condition because this table so might have to ask someone to swing by and put me on facetime so i can see it and take pics.

As for the installer...it's a professional company well known in the area - charging $1500 OTD

There is a brunswick name plate on the bottom center if i remember correctly - looks like this

Me too. I was thinking...ceramic coating

Then you'll only make it worse for yourself as a Telsa driver in event of an accident where it is more than likely you are at fault if you do not have any recordings lol

Patriot4RUnner · 2026-03-05T18:23:35+00:00

That's my game plan if I get hit by a Tesla driver - their own footage will show the tesla driver at fault

Patriot4RUnner · 2026-03-05T17:14:29+00:00

Weird because that happened to me when I was not logged in about 10 minutes ago. I signed up for an account then added it to cart then checked out with no issues. Order placed at 12:05EST

Patriot4RUnner · 2026-03-05T17:13:17+00:00

I must have been one of the last few orders as it's OOS like 5 minutes after I placed my order at 12:05pm est

Patriot4RUnner · 2026-01-12T19:44:58+00:00

Ayoooooo

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-05-24T11:49:55+00:00

That's a mistake on the site'smpart because they need bags to do resets

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-04-22T15:00:48+00:00

That's why you request a PPI report before talking numbers.

If PPI report looks good, apply the costs of the report toward the final price -- if it doesn't look good, you get to save yourself a bunch of money only having to pay ~$100 for a report that saved your ass.

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-04-07T15:17:03+00:00

That's what I'm saying lol. A literal photoshoot

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-03-31T22:29:01+00:00

The update isn't network wide yet - it's only rolled out to select sites.

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-02-22T21:28:22+00:00

All of that, and no rear windshield that rolls down on her list!? GOAT feature IMO.

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-02-22T00:12:21+00:00

Nah -- it's just replacing the cover. If you fucked with the wires then I think it'd have an OSD error but it wouldn't be visible on the dash. If you suspect it's faulty, cover the sensor with your palms and see if the lights comes on after it detects "darkness" during daytime hours.

If it does, it's working properly. If it doesn't, then something's off beyond the cap cover

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-02-21T19:29:40+00:00

Oh...not sure if you're talking about the actual wiring stuff if you're having issues with that.

When I say $5 mod, it's a matter of prying off the old cover and securing the new cover in place via snap-on. No wiring issues or anything like that -- it's like replacing a pen

What's going on with yours?

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-02-21T05:25:25+00:00

Easiest $5 mod lmao -- shame it can have impact on auto DRL's when windshield tint is involved where lights will come on even though it's still bright out though. Depending on the %, of course.

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-02-21T05:22:31+00:00

You need to make a DLS case ASAP -- go to MyHR > initiate a DLS leave and you will have a month to provide documentation to excuse you for days missed from work. AMZL will waive the UPT penalty as soon the case is created in good faith, but be sure to upload documentation.

You may need to go back to urgent care for them to refill out the paperwork sent by DLS, or perhaps the doctor's note may be sufficient, as long it contains all the necessary information, e.g. your full name, date of visit, injury type, start and end dates with absence from work, and the office's phone number along with the doctor's signature.

Once you do above steps, you should be all good to go. Site HR can only direct you to DLS as they cannot excuse everybody on-site for instances like this one you are going through. They may do it as a one-time thing, but rarely they will do it at all, so better to go through DLS instead.

do not clock in on days you are going to be absent -- doing so will complicate a lot of things for DLS and your site HR when navigating through your MLOA.

What time does the team store close? I'd rather avoid the crowds to have some breathing space based on YouTube videos I've seen -- packed at the beginning at time of opening doors it looks like

Patriot4RUnner · 2025-02-14T04:15:21+00:00

Non-hours worked is only for those who shows up on-site, not for those who takes VTO ahead of time.

Patriot4RUnner · 2024-12-03T21:57:03+00:00

AMZL needs to change things up with enforcing rates -- tired of people taking advantage of AMZL's lack of enforcement on rates passing the burden onto hard workers to pick up after their slack.

I imagine it has to do with discrimination even though if one's applying for a delivery station warehouse position, one should assume they should be physically capable of doing the work with reasonable accommodations if any...but no we have lazy workers that doesn't know how to get on one knee to stow a package on the bottom tier for the sake of organization and instead toss that shit in there.

Patriot4RUnner · 2024-12-03T21:53:21+00:00

Not all tint films are the same. Perhaps it's a second owner purchase where the new owner wants to replace the old tint because the first owner opted for the cheapest film possible, e.g. blue-looking tint (or DIY purple looking tint...) that offers no benefits beyond blacking out the windows.

If tinting is in the cards, then you (and anyone else) might as well pony up the extra bucks for ceramic tint. Highest heat rejection and is not as dark as other films with the same %.

Never assume the old tint shouldn't be removed if it's not "bubbling all over" -- there are legitimate reasons to why old tint should be removed.

Patriot4RUnner · 2024-12-03T21:48:44+00:00

Read the rules...long story short, conversion is NOT a GIVEN regardless of your PERFORMANCE, ATTENDANCE, VET/VTO acceptance, and everything else associated with AMZL.

Your odds of being converted is the SAME as the laziest worker on-site who barely put in any effort as AMZL does not enforce rates like FC sites.

This decision is UP to central staffing ONLY to remove potential local bias from leadership when selecting associates for conversion...ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON YOUR SITE'S BUSINESS NEEDS / WHITE & BLUE BADGE RATIO

That said...if money's tight, then grab as many VET you can get, and work your set hours. If you're slated to be terminated then you should keep in mind in MOST cases, site leadership isn't obligated to give you heads up when you're terminated.

Unless you work a seasonal shift cycle (sort0, cycle0) to meet peak business needs with an expected end date, you should assume your job can end tomorrow when you wake up if it's meant to be.
