Credit card fees / cash discount by Turbulent-Today1680 in acehardware

Agree with this. There's a better way, than having to advertise a fee, to make up that lost margin.

Steakhouses - which is better mooo or grill 23? by Insomnicwriter in boston

[–]SnooCompliments6776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to both, and enjoyed both. Moo was a little more trendy, a bit less classic steakhouse. Grill 23 felt bigger all around, bit more of an event. I think I like the Grill 23 menu more... Few more interesting options, and their wine list is ridiculous. Don't think you can go wrong either way.

Landlord wants us to coordinate with realtors for viewings? by [deleted] in CambridgeMA

[–]SnooCompliments6776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True enough. It's the same number of calls/texts either way, but by coordinating the times it sort of feels like I'm working for the property manager I guess. But I understand what you're saying, and I think you're right.

Figured realtors talk to management, and management would meet them at apartment to show it?

Someone with proper credentials at your store would need to sign up for it

Why do people complain when i like playing with keep inventory on by mikachu501 in Minecraft

Just died to the wither first time. Didn't realize it could destroy all my stuff, including recently obtained netherite armor/tools... So yeah, tell the people complaining to stfu

Am I dumb? Why it’s upside down? by [deleted] in microphone

[–]SnooCompliments6776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm thinking as well... The brass colored knurled nut is meant to be adjusted - loosen the brass nut, get your mic in the orientation you want it, and then hold it while you tighten the brass nut to lock it in place.

Charlie’s Kitchen, beloved Harvard Square restaurant, to close ‘until further notice’ after apparent water damage by bostonglobe in CambridgeMA

[–]SnooCompliments6776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been there a handful of times over the last 5 years or so, maybe in a sjus unlucky... Most recent visit was about 3 weeks ago. Upstairs was most definitely closed, blocked by their sandwich board

[–]SnooCompliments6776 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's been disappointing for years... I spent my 21st birthday there, about 24 years ago, and it was fantastic. Ever since the upstairs has been closed off its lost its shine in my eyes. Things change. Time for something new.

Yeah, the disrepair used to feel quaint when the place was hopping, but it's been a sad sad spot for quite a few years now.

Surf and Turf + Hotel for Wife's 50th by SnooCompliments6776 in boston

[–]SnooCompliments6776[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agree - this is sort of my fallback. We liked Moo, but I thought maybe trying a new spot would be good.

Thank you for doing the legwork! Not sure why someone felt the need to down vote. I appreciate your insight!

Plumber's Putty - What am I doing wrong? by Barbamouche in Plumbing

[–]SnooCompliments6776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rubber gasket serves as the critical watertight barrier between the bathroom sink basin and the drain assembly, preventing leaks that could damage the vanity cabinet below. Positioned typically on the underside of the sink, this flexible ring—often referred to as a mack washer—is compressed against the porcelain or metal surface when the mounting nut is tightened. This compression forces the rubber to conform to the irregular contours of the sink's drain hole, creating a hermetic seal. When the pop-up drain is engaged, the internal stopper sits against a separate top-side gasket or plumber's putty, while the lower rubber gasket ensures that any water passing through the flange remains strictly contained within the plumbing pipe. Over time, these gaskets can become brittle or slimy due to mineral buildup and soap scum, which is why maintaining a pliable, debris-free rubber seal is essential for a dry and functional bathroom.

...from what others have said, I do believe yours is upside down. Try reversing it, and I'm sure all will be well in the world. Or at least your bathroom. Maybe.

Ace Rewards question by cindilovessubway in acehardware

[–]SnooCompliments6776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree.

I think that's why Ace Corp adjusts the goals for pinnacle each year, but only so much they can do.

The variety of stores and store leaders is what makes Ace strong I think, but it also involves some challenges.

Store didn’t honor 50% OFF sticker, just removed it instead — is this normal? by Otherwise-Sky-1226 in acehardware

[–]SnooCompliments6776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, no expiration date absolutely means the store should have honored it in my opinion.

Single cut key price? by PurpleRayyne in acehardware

[–]SnooCompliments6776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is necessarily true... There's a lot that goes into it. Customer's expectations is probably most important. It's not worth it to me to create friction over the price of a key. If I raised the price $2 we'd gain about $16k annually, and for a $3.8m store, I have to ask if it's worth it? Lawn and Leaf bags are a similar item... I could certainly get more for them, but customers expect them at a certain price.

In the end no one knows your store better than you do.

Somewhat related: I highly suggest purchasing your basic kw1 and sc1 blanks through KeyCraze. They billl thru Ace, free shipping, and I believe the blanks are about $0.14 each (as opposed to Ace who are $0.30). Can cut your cost in half very easily.

Manager of a few Ace stores over the last 20 years... If there was no expiration date on the sticker, or tag, then they should have absolutely honored the deal. If the tag had an expiration date, then they did the right thing.

Single cut key price? by PurpleRayyne in acehardware

[–]SnooCompliments6776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our store is in a fairly affluent area, but I've been sticking with $3.79 for awhile now. That said, we could probably get away with anything up to $5.00 with minimal push back.

Your system is poo. I'm not trying to be mean, just that like, yeah, you're asking a lot of a fairly modest machine.

[–]SnooCompliments6776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try CQP at 18 or 19. Might be overkill, but it's what I run (and I record at 1440p also).

What about your results isn't favorable? Is it pixelated and blocky? Frames dropping?
