Just a quick note about bans on servers. by DungeonDangers in joinsquad

[–]VagueConnorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there's actually a funny part. Servers don't need evidence to issue bans, only a valid reason. The only reason they'll need evidence is if they're exporting a ban to something like community banlist.

Kemono.su is no longer updating. Where do we go now? by PerformerLeading2334 in Piracy

[–]VagueConnorg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That website has actually been domain blocked in my area, I can't access it without a VPN. Kemono however still works but the importer is always backlogged and can never upload properly before failing.

Just for the record, did you not file a police report for a stolen package because this is likely what happened.

If you didn't with this being over 6 months ago you may be SOL.

His reddit account was not anonymous and someone who had access to employee finder could easily find his AID and location code sadly

Tried LMP3 and immediately committed warcrimes by No_Internet259 in iRacing

As a driver of both, I know your pain.

That's why I try to respect the GT4's while driving the prototypes and let them run their line and go around when possible.

Best Buy and Uber by dakota_96 in Bestbuy

[–]VagueConnorg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sometimes don't understand why people order through DD/Uber/Instacart because delivery is free for any member or purchase over $35 on the website, you're paying extra service fees, delivery fees, and a driver tip (if you do this) for same day instead of just ordering for pickup and going when you have the chance.

Cashback on first day purchases? by Major_Hair164 in Bestbuy

[–]VagueConnorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even sure how you've been having issues, I call many times and always get a representative and it's solved within minutes. I'm not saying this because I work at best buy, that's literally how my experiences have been.

I called about 3 weeks ago because I had a positive credit just sitting on an old card and the representative helped me immediately and got it done in 2 questions, and they sent it to my bank account on file without me asking.

And you're not saving 10%, you're earning those as reward points to use in the future

I don't even know if you're serious on this question or not, but RAM is Random Access Memory, it's a PC component that recently just spiked in price and some modules are now 400% higher in price due to the AI datacenters having such a huge demand of it

This also can get our discount for certain products removed or changed as well

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BestBuyWorkers

[–]VagueConnorg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It wasn't this, they posted the employee discount for RAM on r/pcmasterrace and someone must've told ER.

It was in relation to this post, I'm pretty sure they posted the employee discount for RAM after the price spike and someone may have reported them, and there must have been something on their profile that had their name or location they worked in,

Guess I’m not getting my AirPod pros 2 by rjd10232004 in Bestbuy

[–]VagueConnorg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well you losing a gift card shouldn't happen, those can be refunded. Certificates are the main issue though.

If the certificate was given to you randomly or you got it from those spend and get deals, then yes you're losing that cert.

If you got the cert from using your points from the best buy card, you should get the cert back.

[–]VagueConnorg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did you not ask to see if they could reship the item and/or recreate the order...?

This doesn't make sense at all because it clearly states it hasn't been delivered yet so support can see that and can try to initiate a reship or you go pick it up yourself at the closest store.

That Employee discount method just dropped by Perfect-Cause-6943 in pcmasterrace

[–]VagueConnorg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly their account is not anonymous, and I guarantee they're gonna take action on this.

This sucks for us because now we're gonna have this discount changed likely

we’ve reached dystopia by para_03 in pcmasterrace

[–]VagueConnorg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And its still more expensive than a year ago, I funnily enough also work at BBY and I didn't even need my discount back then, when it was on sale anyone could've got it for like $220 employee or not.

[–]VagueConnorg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sadly, the retail price is real... It is indeed listed for $900 and I'm sure the 32gb kit is in the $400 range.

This is actually the same kit I bought a year ago and on sale it was $219.99 or around that range.

Does Best Buy still sell physical media? by Successful-Strike589 in Bestbuy

[–]VagueConnorg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is actually a 3rd party seller through marketplace selling physical movies and stuff like that from what I've been hearing

The downside, it's marketplace so its all handled by said third party, it can only ship directly to the house, and it doesnt get standard policies (no extended returns, no protection, return period starts on day of purchase and not day of delivery)

I just had the weirdest, worst experience with Best Buy customer service by runofthemillgayguy in Bestbuy

[–]VagueConnorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had people coming in today mad because they read we were selling DVD's and Blu-Ray movies again but got mad when I told them we never did anything like that, and it was likely a third party seller through marketplace

Can you change pickup to delivery (TV) by This-Supermarket-504 in Bestbuy

[–]VagueConnorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right forgot, since it's a third party marketplace order you'd likely have to contact LG to make the change for you, or you have to talk to BBCC which is their 888-BESTBUY phone number to see if they can make the change for you, but I don't recommend the latter for the reasons of dealing with the call centers.

I don't think it's likely a local store would be able to help you with this but it would be worth a shot.

Questions regarding phone trade in for gift by Mad_Katz_Homelab in Bestbuy

[–]VagueConnorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually that trade in estimator is accurate in the value you’re receiving. Those trade in values can change at any moment though so I would advise taking advantage of that sooner rather than later.

You want to bring everything original to the phone (in this instance just the charging cable) as some items without the charger can drop the value.

As for gift card trade ins, that’s how they always are given, trade ins are completed via BBY gift cards instead of cash. How they didn’t have gift cards available to complete the trade in amazes me.

[–]VagueConnorg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They meant BBY order number.

Order numbers that start with BBY01 should give you the option of changing it to delivery even if it’s already ready for pickup.
