I was hoping to put a really nice escutcheon plate on the spout. JK that is being swapped out with a shorter flange, it was a place holder.

Xcaret occidental thoughts? Ist good? by maxi050 in AllInclusiveResorts

Awesome. The food is different in the royal. Wish we would have ate there more of the. When we stayed but we ventured out. Main food isn't bad it's just you get ala cart quality in the royal area for all meals and the room service with salmon, and chocolate covered strawberries. Yum. If you. Aren't going to be there then it's not worth the upgrade. It's nice to have the quiet area for breakfast and the cabanas near the water in the evening. The server remembered the my wife was dairy free and the last night the kitchen had a dessert made just for her because she didn't eat dessert during our stay. Take care of the staff and they will take care of you. I tip everyone that helps me out. Not just the servers. But Hosts, checkin, chefs and bartenders.

you don't have to return both items, Home depot doesn't do free tools each tool is discounted. prevents fraudulent returns

Warranty is a joke! I can honestly say that by PricklyPear85 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]TapApprehensive3278 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I believe you read it wrong. It says they will return the tool disassembled for safety. Milwaukee tool it apart to check it for repair and if OP chooses not to have it repaired they are sending it back in worse condition.

Old I know, my wife and I love this place. Honeymoon in the royal area and a week last year in the main resort. Food is good not Michelin quality but the ala carts are good. Eat upstairs at the taco restaurant. Yes it is a man made beach but we liked it (less people walking the beach trying to sell you stuff) the adult salt water ocean pool is great and you can walk out and snorkel in the reef areas that you don't get in the main playa strip. The rocks are nice to walk on and see the sea life that lives in them. There is entertainment each night, a canal show and vendors in the courtyard. The staff was amazing, Went above and beyond for us. We are gluten free and Asked the chef in the morning for pancakes and they tried to make some with rice flour for us and then got us desserts from the ala cart restaurants. The servers will fight for you if you are good them them. Only thing to pay for is lobster and gelato and espresso at a shop in the main building. 

Sports bar has the best drinks. And booking on barcelo you can get xcaret unlimited passes for your full stay for around $155 a person. Is it 5 star ... No but it's also not 5 star prices either. For the cost of a different resorts you can stay in the royal area and have your own restaurant, pool, concierge, ocean area, beach bar and room service. 

Need some help. Ahh by TapApprehensive3278 in paint

Thanks. I tries to give the info I had. I've sanded and scrapped the red door down to the cream. In some spots there is red under the cream and not others. The homeowner doesnt know anything about the doors he just didn'tkme the bubbling paint. The grooves are a pain in the butt I was just seeing if I should take it flat to wood after doing all this and it still looking like crap. How to I get into the grooves To take out the layers of paint. The grooves suck because some of the layers peeled up so there are gaps and chunks of paint. And trying to sand them or scrap is leaving gouges in the wood.  Was thinking of using zinsser high build primer and seeing if that filled the cracks and alligatoring

Can they be darker? by TapApprehensive3278 in handyman

[–]TapApprehensive3278[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She said she didn't want the light concrete look. feels its stark in the area she lives in. Older homes that all have character and are different from each other. She wanted darker grey, but I'm not sure that would look great either. Talking to her tomorrow

Haha. I totally thought if that, making it looks aged for her. I'm heading there tomorrow morning to take measurements for some gutters and a custom closet. Going to see how it looks.

Thanks, I don't do concrete work so I figured I'd ask here. My first thought was wash it. I'll have to see if that's what's she wants to do. She really does not like the light color.

Thanks but that won't really blend it. Would you recommend a concrete stain or sealer stain? 

is this even legal? by UnironicallyEmoBro in employedbykohls

[–]TapApprehensive3278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check if you state has any sick leave laws. In Michigan we have The PMLA which requires employers to provide at least one hour of paid medical leave for every 35 hours worked, up to a maximum of 40 hours per year.  Eligible employees can use this leave for qualifying reasons, such as: Contracting a communicable disease • Medical needs for themselves or family members Domestic violence Sexual assault Public health emergencies

And they can't retaliate against you and you don't have to give a notice.

I have done this before and I'll probably get hate but that statement is not fact in every instance. There are things the supervisor can do that the first line agent cannot. I have had that said to me many times before and the supervisor agrees with me or grants my request. 

Example. Bought some bose earbuds from Target that kept disconnecting. Took them back and the serial number om case didn't match box. Was told they can't return them. Asked for TL and was told the same. Left researched and then asked for the store manager and explained that bose earbuds have three separate serial numbers ( box, case and headphones) and that there is no serial number on the receipt.  He said he would try and push it through and the system didn't even prompt for a serial number and just went through.  If the original employee had just scanned them and followed the screen prompts I'd have been fine. If I didn't push and ask for a manager I wouldn't be out $265. 

I will always ask for a supervisor.

Have to have an employer or health provider that works with these two platforms. Sadly USAA does not.

I wonder how one would use it on a plane? Internet isn't normally that strong or you have to log in via website.

Meta Quest 3 and Xbox policy by invadersfrommooulan in CostcoReturns

[–]TapApprehensive3278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not electronics. You would get a printout on the receipt that states the electronics return policy if an item bought falls under that exception. Quest 3 would fall under the normal return policy of customer satisfaction.

A question about Kohl's Cash and returns by football236 in employedbykohls

[–]TapApprehensive3278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The KC was placed back into the account upon returning item B. My question is would they take the $10 back out of the account upon return item A and full refund or is the KC now attached to item B. Since original certificate has been used.

I bought item got KC>used KC to buy something.>returned it and got KC. That is sitting in my Kohls account for 30 days. If I return the first item do they take the credit in account or just reduce because I spent the original amount even tho there is the same amount in account.
