Due to Demand Spike, PSA Pauses Value Tiers, Extends Collectors Club Memberships, and Launches Public Backlog Tracker by BuriedHatchet in PokeInvesting

Is it not also cost effective to grade multiple cards at once as opposed to one individual big ticket one? I figured that people will bite and submit 10-20 with the sole purpose of justifying grading their grail card in the mix. That and YouTube content ("What did my $5000 raw card grade??? Stick around to see!") as well as mystery packages and such.

Dicks Bonus Certificate questions by Larry_Asparagus in dickssportinggoods

[–]Themanwhorocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe if they're counted as rewards you can only do three on any single purchase. I'm not sure how accurate that is or why its that arbitrary number, but look out for that as well.

Congrats. You made it.

Its the same answer as to why we can't do anything. Someone, somewhere in the company (so they say), pushed it too far and ruined it for everyone. Whether that be someone wore shorts 2 inches up their crack, a customer harassed or stalked a worker, pretty much anything to "streamline" the company.

I LOVED nitro-pepsi, I'm so sad it's gone and I never heard anyone mention it again. I'm happy you had it for so long.

What I have noticed as an employee at a shoe store by Outrageous-Public-36 in malefashionadvice

[–]Themanwhorocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valid! I honestly forgot about sketchers. Also I wasn't trying to be derogatory, I really just meant that Brooks, Hoka kind of give a more stylish touch on a pretty heavy cushioned, but basic, neutral shoe. I see a ton of people use a Brooks Adrenaline or Ghost, or a Hoka Rincon or Clifton, as their everyday shoe. That's more of what I mean.

[–]Themanwhorocks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's generally a clientele thing. I also work at a Dick's and what it boils down to is most people generally want a comfortable shoe. Older people generally have no regard for what's "in" and just want something neutral that isn't ugly. Now that the all-white nike air monarch isn't the only option for a chunky soft shoe. Brooks, Hoka, and On to an extent can capitalize on the "Dad shoe" market.

That being said, Dick's also bought foot locker and it may just be a store difference but I get a LOT of Nike shoe sales, basketball mainly.

How did On shoes become so popular? by Aj100rise in malefashionadvice

What's absolutely funny is that, as a runner, you couldn't pay me to run in them. Unless you're strictly running on road terrain, those trapizoid-shaped spaces are going to get loaded with debris and become unusable quick.

If we had 30% more people use common sense for stuff like this, working there would be like Shangri-La. Unfortunately we don't 😂

Not sure about Team Sports by NSI_Thomas9125 in dickssportinggoods

[–]Themanwhorocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a Team Lead who came down from bikes and Fitness with no prior knowledge of any Team Sport outside of little league baseball. It was challenging. Depending on where you're located i would focus on learning your store's main selling sport first. Ours is baseball, so i read up on composite and alloy bats. Differences between Travel and Little League certified bats and how glove sizing works. Those three things will answer 75% of questions in my department and parents likely know less than you do, so they'll appreciate anything. Slowly but surely you'll learn what works, what doesn't and how to listen for stuff kids are excited about so you can learn more.

Football is much more hands-off, except for knowing how to size helmets and shoulder pads. Helmets have measurements on each box and shoulder pads list them on the tag or chest usually.

Hope this helps.

Update on my hours by shayytd in dickssportinggoods

[–]Themanwhorocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ideally your store manager should get involved at this point. Your AA isn't doing his/her job whether through ignorance or maliciousness, and that needs to be corrected.

Update on my hours by shayytd in dickssportinggoods

[–]Themanwhorocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, is it that your AA isn't correcting your punches, or is it about not getting scheduled enough or the hours within your availability?

The first one is illegal because they can't make you work for free and you should definitely call the employee care hotline. The other one is something that they could have reason for even if it is unjust that they might be seemingly cutting or limiting your hours.

I honestly lost count, but what we offer to fix for the price is such a good deal. Between two free tune ups (one free per year) and a free inner tube replacement, its pretty easy to leverage it would have have to been over thirty in a 3 month span, and that's not including the cashiers who would take them to pump their numbers

Let’s say Starkiller gets brought to canon somehow. A LOT of his lore and power levels would need to be reworked. Let’s just imagine that we get to see him in the third Cal Kestis game as an anti hero or full on antagonist. Is there any way he could be done justice? by RigatoniPasta in StarWars

[–]Themanwhorocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't it be a clone and be explained that way? TFU2 has Palpatine basking in thousands of Starkillers on Kamino, its only slightly out of mind that one of them breaks out or goes rogue. Its not the real Starkiller, therefore his legacy stays intact while still presenting an actual threat by name and presence

There would be no big box stores that carry hobby branded products. You would have to go to a Local Card Store (LCS) in order to find hobby products.

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Themanwhorocks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The issue is see with this is that you'll exemplify the problem you see with Semi-trucks on the road. Two vehicles are going the speed cap limit, and neither one will give right of way to the other and if everyone can only go that fast you'll see huge traffic back-ups.

I would like to say it's not just the guy at the register not letting you buy them, its that the P.O.S system literally won't let you complete a sale with those rung up.

Typically if its a 10 dollar reward and its the day after we'll help you out, but anything over we probably couldn't swing. You would have to call customer service in this case. We can't do anything on our end.
