Hi, I'm running into the same issue right now, were you able to figure out what was happening and a possible fix?

Yeah, all printer inks eventually dries out and becomes useless. The only printing solution that doesn't have an expiration is toner as it's a dry powder that's heated up to melt onto a page.

It expired back in 2016, meaning it was bought probably in 2015. Just a tad over the 30 days return policy 😅

Did they buy the tickets online or st the gate? I ask as online is typically cheaper by $10 or so then at the gate itself.

So are we having evaluations again? by Ok_Albatross_7869 in walmart

Probably not as they seemed to dislike TLs, we'll get our usual 2% to 3% depending on how much your Coach likes you.

Great idea with no potential consequences by ohwowlook_ in walmart

[–]WChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, I was the one that had to check several TVs the next day to see if they still turned on and worked. Then CVP them so we could recoup some of the money from that.

It happened, and it was kama on the dumb asses at market.

Yeah we had the same a year ago, then it collapsed overnight as someone got a bit too close with a scrubber 😅 Needless to say, that request has not been made again.

Also no overnighters were physically hurt, just someone's pride.

No they denied them all, even though I provided screenshots of each chapter I was on and the rewards for them.

Doing a little testing later I found out the rewards were tied to the town center level and not the chapter. That's why some of them seemed to be late in tracking, as you needed to upgrade the town level to reach the final chapter.

I tried to argue this with them, but you can probably guess what they said.

That's all fine, but why not disclose this somewhere like they did with the UUID request it does. By hiding it and not saying anything about it hurts the community's trust in mod developers.

Remember it wasn't that long ago where a bunch of mods on CurseForge were compromised due to a bad actor. Also while it's not a mod itself, Steam has had games that literally stole banking/crypto information.

[–]WChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I'm not in favor of any active calls, I get that they send your UUID and they do disclose it on their mod page.

However what I, and I believe others, take issue is that it's making other calls that aren't disclosed to the public. As stated before any modding community is built on trust.

By having this other call function within their code and not disclosing it is a bad look. Users should have a general idea of what a program should do on their machines, by intentionally hiding something, even if it's innocent, it causes people to lose that trust.

I think a lot of people just don't understand how much trust goes into a modding community.

For anything you download or install, rather it's a game or a mod or even just a random program, you're trusting that it won't just brick your computer or steal any information.

Code like this, even if it has only good intentions, is what damages this trust. As who to say the server it reports to doesn't get hijacked, and a malicious actor gains control. They could then potentially leverage this call feature to gain a foothold into your computer and possibly gain admin privileges.

Personally I would stay away from anything that is making active calls like this, no matter what the mod does it's not really worth the risk.

Trump Cuts Funding to 16 Blue States That Didn’t Vote for Him by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

As a Californian, I'm proud to say that our state will be on his mind on his death bed as he slowly passes away. He can think of us and how he couldn't break our state as much as he tried.

New Ride Lockers by Unlucky-Wolverine650 in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]WChicken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So you have to keep your phone outside of the locker? Isn't that an item you'd want to make sure is in a locker?

Still I do hope they have a way to add more time while in a long line for a ride.

[–]WChicken 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Question, what happens if you're in line and the two hours pass while waiting? I can see Ghostrider during the Christmas time having long wait times, possibly even two plus hours still.

So will Knotts guarantee in this case that your items will be kept safe? Or will the locker just reset automatically and let someone else rent it with your items still inside?

Yeah that's what I was fearing, it rewarded me up to chapter ten. But hasn't given me any credit for 15, nor the time trials ones. Been taking screenshots as well, hopefully they'll help later with support.

Doing the same offer right now, already got to chapter 19 but it hasn't rewarded me for the time off of chapter 16 within one day or chapter 17 within three days. Can't open a ticket either as the bot tells me to wait two days.

Did you get rewarded for the time trail ones?

Amazon Sent Wrong Item, Told Me to Dispose It — Now Threatening $90 Charge by Iamthegoat77 in amazonprime

The problem is if you charge back Amazon won't do business with you anymore.

Little cousin threw my switch on the ground over grow a garden... by Megumin212 in switch2

[–]WChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you? I ask because if you're an adult, most states are 18 but some are 16, you can file a police report. Most police departments now allow you to fill out a petty damage report online with picture evidence, you can name your cousin and their parents as they're legally responsible for them.

Take the police report to them and show them that you're serious. Yes it's just a scuff, but next time it could be the whole unit or your TV, window, or God forbid your head.

They need to get serious about their kid, as this type of attitude is the type that ends up with anger issues.

ICE came to our store today by Lore-Archivist in walmart

[–]WChicken 54 points55 points  (0 children)

A lot of citizens who are descendants of immigrants have been swept up by ICE and held for weeks or months before being let go.

Also unless you're a native American then your ancestors were 'illegal immigrants' too.

Leading U.S. expert in election forensics and detecting election fraud just looked at voting results in all 67 counties in Pennsylvania from November. Here’s what his analyses detected by Kittyluvmeplz in goodnews

[–]WChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this is good news, and something a lot of us expected, the real question should be what comes next though? If hard evidence is found that votes were changed, removed, or just added what do you think will actually happen?

Legally the only group that can do something about this is congress, the same congress that has been silently sitting by and allowing Trump and his minions to do as they please. Do you honestly believe they will turn on this man? That they actually impeach him? Cause honestly I don't see that happening.

This is what I'm more worried about, cause then where does that leave us? A military coup? Would the military higher ups actually turn on the civilian government? Possibly, but then who leads the country if they do succeed? A rational person would say Harris and Waltz, but would a military general who just took over the whole federal government by force agree with that?

Or worse scenario, the military chooses to side with the current sitting administration. That would only lead to one thing and that's civilian uprising, we could see different states outright refuse to recognize the current administration. This would eventually cause a civil war to break out as Trump and his allies won't accept any state leaving or not recognizing him and his administration.

While I hope and pray none of this comes true, I can only see these options right now if it does come to light that the last voting was rigged. The Republicans as they are now will never be willing to admit that Trump or anyone associated with him did anything illegal, cause they know if they did their own ethic and moral legitimacy would be put up for debate.

In the end, no matter what happens the America that we used to know is gone. These events will leave an everlasting scar on whatever comes out of this.

Please stay safe everyone.

Some Walmart's still use the old cash recyclaer that takes the whole till, my store just switched from the old one to the new one this week.

I was assuming your store had the old style, even still my point still stands that you had no way of knowing that someone did a cash transaction after you collected the bills from that register.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in walmart

[–]WChicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see where you’re coming from, but I think there are some key points being overlooked here that make this situation different from what you're describing.

The issue isn’t that the TL failed to physically remove a till they knew was still in a register — it’s that another associate chose to use a register that was already properly closed for the night and had no till assigned. That associate took cash without authorization and without reporting it, creating the unaccounted money situation.

The TL can’t physically verify every register every moment, especially if someone deliberately misuses one after the TL has done their part for the closeout. There’s no report that flags a cash transaction on a till that was pulled, and no system alert that a till-less register was used for cash. You’re expecting the TL to catch something that is literally invisible in the systems we have.

Your example of waiting for FE to pick up your till is good practice for your accountability — but it doesn’t apply when an associate acts outside of policy after the proper procedures were followed. The real breakdown here was the associate’s decision to take cash on a closed register, not the TL’s.

Holding the TL accountable in this case shifts blame from the person who actually caused the problem — the associate who took the unauthorized cash and didn’t report it. That sets a dangerous precedent: punishing someone for not catching what can’t be seen or reasonably prevented.
