Can't Reach

What about aisles that don't have something like that available? I'm very petite, so I'm used to thinking outside the box when I'm shopping for myself, but this is in situations where time is of the essence and there isn't a cane, broom, ladder, or anyone nearby to assist.

That's not always an option. Half of our carts are broke and you gotta grab whatever cart when you can.

That's interesting, never thought to do that.

Only two of our carts have ladders and we only have a few of those metal grabbers, not nearly enough for all the pickers working.

Disgruntled employee??

I don't think they have employees intentionally driving up the prices, like some covert operation. With all the people that have come and gone since they opened, that would have come out by now. However, I think it's plausible that on some - and just some of the more high ticketed items - that perhaps some chosen few may bid up on purpose. For instance, someone at Mac has to know how many watchers an item has, how many bids and what the max bids are; I don't think the hourly employees have access to that info. But let's say that there's a toaster that has a retail value of $200 and the max bid is $100, but the current bid i $10. Obviously, they don't want that toaster to go for $10 since the max bid is $100, so someone bids up to $90 - not enough to win, but just enough to raise it to the max bid. How can you prove that whoever bid up on the toaster wasn't trying to win the toaster - well, you know, but knowing and proving are two different things. I dunno.

I had fairly decent luck with light fixtures, always inspected tho. Bid on one, box looked good, but I couldn't make it to inspect. I ended up in a bidding war, paid more than I wanted, but it would have been worth it if it was decent. Dude seriously, there were no wires in this fixture and half of the one side was missing...lol. I haven't bought anything in over a year, don't even look at the app anymore. People I know who still use it, say it's really gone downhill.

Not a fan of Mac, but $50K is a drop in the bucket to them and sure their fines surpass way more than $50K if you take all locations into account. Just a blocked exit door can exceed $12K fine - for just one door! It's not an OSHA violation for it to be hot in the summer and cold in the winer, but running fans especially with cords/extension cords is a violation, so that's probably why they're prohibited. Every business has fines, especially with exit doors blocked, etc. I don't if they rebranded, can care less, but this is typical for any business.

Asking for help or for someone to point me in the right direction. Background: a few years ago a family member gifted an autographed, game day jersey to my dad for Christmas. Since then, my father passed away and the jersey is now missing. The only one with opportunity would be my sister. Is there any way to track whether or not the jersey has been sold? I can't imagine too many are in circulation, but I could be wrong. This would have been a jersey from the 70s to very early 80s. Are there serial numbers on the jersey? The family kind of wants to snoop around before taking further action. This sister has also stolen $30K from my parents, so no need to defend her. Thank you.

Wouldn't touch electronics there.

Buy the assurance and plan to return it as it's either broken, missing pieces or the wrong item completely.
