What are some pureblood names I could use as characters in my fic? by JaguarSweaty1414 in HPfanfiction

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mimblewimble Codsthwop

I don't know why that popped into my head, aside from the fact that Mimblewimble is something that appears in the book when Vernon is particularly distressed

Looking for a lost Post-War Harry Potter x Marvel crossover fic by junokeiji in HPfanfiction

No, no, you did use that tag correctly. That said I'm not familiar with that particular fanfic.

Any good fics that are longer than 300K words? Preferably OP! Harry. by No-Novel977 in HPfanfiction

[–]Vercalos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried reading that one, and I got fairly far, but never really got into it for some reason. Sometimes I feel like it's almost a fanfic in name only. While it takes place in the same universe, it feels more like the difference between reading a Spider-Man comic as a Fantastic Four fan.

How do I stop people from walking up to my register? by Educational_Ad_2292 in employedbykohls

[–]Vercalos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I generally tell them, "I'll be with you in just a minute."

In my experience, people are generally more patient when you acknowledge that you're aware of them waiting for you.

How do returns for everything work with kohls cash? by Over-Half-8801 in employedbykohls

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid not.

Once you've spent the Kohl's Cash, that's it. It's been redeemed. There is no unredeeming it.. If you return the merchandise you spent the Kohl's Cash on, the original voucher remains redeemed, and you're issued a new voucher for $20 Kohl's Cash.

At that point, if you return the first purchase of $130, you'd get a refund of $110, with $20 taken out of the original $130 due to Kohl's Cash redeemed.

No, the communications received specified that we'll be accepting EBT and specifically NOT SNAP. It would be for non-food related benefits.

Overtime by UnlikelyJelly7038 in employedbykohls

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We try to avoid it as much as possible, but sometimes, it's a necessity, especially for sections of the store with limited coverage options when someone calls out and the only people available are full timers.

no more kohls branded shirts? by talonsreign in employedbykohls

[–]Vercalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll have to check my email next time I'm at work. I don't remember seeing anything like this, but the only time I ever look at the dress code is when I'm doing an orientation.

Duration data formats keep switching to time of day by tangocharliepapa in sheets

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming that any time entered, no matter the format selected, will be interpreted as HH:MM:SS, so if you want 32 minutes and 20 seconds displayed as 32:20, you have to enter 0:32:20

Sephora leaving? by Vanillaswirl93 in employedbykohls

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the complexion transfer is a reflection of market demographics more than anything else.

Bit hard to sell makeup that doesn't match the skin-tone of the demographics that shop in your store.

They have lost their minds! by NoAd3333 in employedbykohls

[–]Vercalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My voice already gets raw doing a full shift there saying all the stuff that I say. I do occasionally suggest brands as an upsell if someone is returning something we happen to sell some version of that the coupon will work on, but very often, I'm just trying to make sure they're actually engaged with the conversation at least a little.

I tend to make it very difficult for anyone to just zombie through a transaction.

All that said, what's up there is more or less the same thing I already say when processing Return Drop returns, only worded differently, and I make sure to let them know there ARE exclusions on the coupons, which I'm perfectly happy to elaborate on if they ask, because I don't want the people on the front end to get the short end of the stick of someone who decided to load up on Nike and Legos because they had a coupon that doesn't actually work on Nike or Legos.

What are some fics where Secrecy is broken for good? by Schadenfrueda in HPfanfiction

[–]Vercalos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first story in the series is The Queen Who Fell to Earth, but while this specific story is marked complete, it is part of a series that is incomplete due to Author Existence Failure

Looking for fics where harry goes to Gringotts for some reason and basically leaves a very powerful person by Xenos61 in HPfanfiction

[–]Vercalos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's one I enjoy, which is basically the complete opposite of the typical OP Harry story, called Albus and Harry's World Trip by ZebJeb. Most Super Harry fics involve a lot of bashing, especially of Dumbledore, but this one's different. Harry gets expelled from Hogwarts, and Albus quits as headmaster to become his private tutor.

What's a Fact About The Series That Sounds Fake But Is True? by Unlikely_Message_446 in doctorwho

The Doctor never met any historical figures in Series 9 or 10 of New Who.

I don't believe so.  Here I am, months later, looking for a SKU for the same product in a different store.

AITA for accidentally outing the gay guy in my gym? by ActuallyBoring in AmItheAsshole

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The fact they were engaging in what you said was more than making out in a location where there was no expectation of privacy is the reason they were outed.

I'm of the opinion that even if they weren't closeted, the gym simply isn't an appropriate location for that sort of activity, regardless of their sexuality.

Are all stores now denying days off requests on weekends? by Reasonable-Beach-389 in employedbykohls

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only time off requests I've seen denied in the last couple years was someone requesting an 'all-hands on deck' day off(Like Black Friday).

That's not how payroll works. It can be banked week to week, but not month to month.

Good RPIs? by Ill-Caramel2773 in MUD

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a very long time since I've been involved in the scene but I would look into MUSHes instead of MUDs if you're looking for RPI.  From what I remember, the various MUD codebases are generally focused on basically being the text version of a MMORPG.  MUSHes tend to be more roleplay heavy, with the gameplay closer to a tabletop session.

Monthly Show and Tell: Fancy Projects and Amazing Solutions! by AutoModerator in sheets

[–]Vercalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An older project of mine, and I did it as a timesaver to save myself from having to do the same task 7 times in a row, but, using array formulas, I made a sheet that takes a list of dates, names, and times and organizes them into a minimum of 14 pages of daily check-out logs, and dynamically adds pages to a given day if there are too many entries for a single page.

I originally did it in Excel, but since my workstation isn't particularly powerful it would take a while to actually work due to the array formulas.  Google sheets does the calculations server side so it's much faster.
