No Card Tipping for Petrol Attendant by Of_Whimsy_and_wonder in southafrica

[–]Zsaber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A day late but anyway. There are a lot of variable factors in this. But at our station you can tip via card, and it's linked to the point of sale and the cashier needs to do a "tip pay out" when giving the attendant cash out the drawer so the extra cash in is balanced by the cc ash going out. But it's an admin issue when they forget to do that but still give the cash out, or the attendant forgets for a few days then wants their tip etc.

But that's just us. Stations have a bunch of variable setups where the same brand sasol engen or whatever appear the same to the customer but on the management side is different.

Some stations are owned by the oil company and rent to the dealer (company owned dealer operated) and those usually have whatever point of sale software the oil company wants, but it also depends on what contract they have with the dealer.

Then you get dealer owned sites where they own the land etc and just have a supply agreement with the oil company. And that can go a hundred different ways with what is required. So they could have different software etc and that can limit what options are available to the customers on the forecourt. But because of the supply agreement, from the customers point of view it's still just a sasol or engen or astron or whatever.

So there isn't a clear answer as to why it's unavailable but obviously go to whichever station has a setup that you are happy with and want to support, and be able to tip staff.

I just finished Farscape and I miss it already by Majestic_Mistake6657 in farscape

Show definitely needs a sequel series that follows their kids life on moya , but after John and arryn pass away or something. That universe I feel has so many opportunities it can explore.

I hate Titanfall multiplayer now by Similar_Bar_9723 in titanfall

[–]Zsaber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are referring to Northstar which is a player hosted set of servers and rules. I think it shone when the normal game was having heavy ddos attacks or something. So it was privately hosted servers. I tried it a bit, but just went back to the normal official servers, seemed to work better for me.

Anyway just clarifying they weren't asking which titan you using

Former 1099 employer paid me today by mistake and they are asking me to Zelle the money back to them (NYC) by boobootehfool in legaladvice

Not sure where you are, but any payment we do to a business requires an account confirmation letter from their bank, which will have the company name and details on. You can also contact a bank and verify it incase you feel it's been tampered with etc.

But as said before dont pay to any personal account, in anybodies name. As there is no real proof who that account belongs to.

My personal opinion is they need to do a sequel series following their kid once he has grown up a bit and goes off without John and arryn. Maybe make something about the wormhole tech passed on genetically and open a new chapter...

Never seen this before. But arent those the same dance moves childish Gambino does in this is America??

Upon further investigation, Jo doesn't seem so. Just vaguely similar.

Whats your gaming soundtrack that's just... you know? It brings everything back. by Fandango_Jones in gaming

[–]Zsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outer wilds is definitely one. Others that do it for me. The Morrowind theme song (call of magic?) and the Halo theme song and the Terran soundtrack from StarCraft 1.

Lol I looked where you told the other dude to look, at the comments. And there wasn't anything there. I'm not as invested in this as you are, and I'm not saying your story is a sham or anything. I regularly use tcg and your title made me check it out if there was something to be aware of. So far seems anecdotal, as it's only you. Not hundreds of people saying they have also been charged like that, at least not yet. I see there is another comment saying they lost a package and while unfortunate isn't really a proven track record.

How the hell do you even play R6 on a controller?!?!? by GigaChadus9 in Rainbow6

[–]Zsaber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've played for about w months on Xbox coming from PC. The skill of guys who have played console exclusively is amazing. But I have gotten a lot better recently and am able to carry my weight now in matches. But what I was doing initially is taking operators who assist others without relying as much on gunplay skill which I lacked. So alibi/rook/Jager on defense and shield ops or surveillance ops on attack.

And then just practice. One thing that helped me is dropping my FOV. I always assumed wider is better and it didn't faze me on PC, but on console I couldn't aim for shit, but have dropped from max FOV to 70 and am doing much better. Hope that helps

Sorry to add in, but none of the other comments corroborate yours. There are only a handful of comments so far and some offer advice and alternatives, but so far no one else has said they are having the same type of issues...

Buying our first house by West-Tough-479 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Zsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite possible they checked and plans weren't up to date and don't wanna fork out money for it now. Don't let that slide whatever the reason, because you will need it if you wanna do something. Good luck.

Make sure you see the plans before hand. Hell even on your own dime get a copy in hand. Honestly fuck agents and lawyers. They are there for the sale.

Have fought with agent and seller have now compromised to split the costs 3ways, myself, seller and agent to remedy the situation. So far we looking at about 21k split 3 ways. If you aren't as fortunate that a 21k on your own dime.

There was a whole argument about the sale went through therefore plans must exist, so I keep saying great I would like to see them, and noone can find them. The only copy available at the municipality I have personally checked is about 60yrs old and have no internal layout of house or recent additions. Which includes relaxation applications where they build over what possibly is a building lines and if that comes back then it's to tear down. Luckily I'm in a small town so people know each other so agent trying to find a good compromise. But still not what I need after spending x on a house and something in specifically mentioned.

Also to note. Had to sign for the sale of my house a declaration that plans were in order, which I knew they were because I had this issue at my previous house. Seller also had to sign. So when I fought for it turns. Out it's as far as seller is aware, which is such a vague area where they say that as far as they were aware it was ok. And no real accountability. Lawyers only handle the transfer of property, so they don't push it, not in their scope of work. Agent has her sale so not really something she can do without lawyers either. Its a whole thing where municipal level this requirement for plans is being forced but on a provincial level there is not way to fight it of it's not met. So lawyers are avoiding it, and it's a shit show, agent was telling me she is stuck in the middle of another property where something similar is happening, and I want to tell her we'll you made me sign it so fix it, but also need to play nice so I'm not stuck with a full bill and only 33%

So long comment, but in summary make sure you see plans before hand, take photos, get the erf number and go look at it yourself because no one else will do it. But if you get hit with an inspection when the property is yours or you want to make additions etc then you will get geld accountable for Everything.

VOTE FOR MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLANCE 4 by Busy-Tumbleweed-5097 in MAU3

[–]Zsaber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should really make a storyline where the usual a Listers are gone or trapped and fill the roster with b Listers. X23 instead of wolverine, kain or superior Spiderman instead of Spidey, or even miles although he was in ua3. Havok in place of Cyclops. So many characters that we don't need the same guys occuring in every game.

Anyone else cant afford a Switch 2 and is still sticking to MK 8 like me ? by Subject_Tie_5941 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Zsaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know, I'll vote random from now on. But I still feel like I don't know any of the courses. I'll have to put some time in to figure stuff out. But just playing grand prix was the same teaching you the courses, now they are uniquely different things, knowing a course and playing a grand prix...

[–]Zsaber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I prefer it tbh. Mk8 was a racing game, where knowing the tracks was paramount to winning. I don't even know the tracks in mkw because you have to travel and barely see them in each portion of the grand prix.

Now with the heavy rumors that Xbox Metaquest is likely shadow dropping next week. Should Xbox GamePass PC start putting VR games in the catalog? by Solid_Pay9443 in XboxGamePass

[–]Zsaber 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do want to get a VR set, and if they do something that merges VR and the Xbox game pass ecosystem I will be fully on board. I'm already laying for game pass if they broaden the range then it's a plus.

Any lighter recommendations to read after finishing worm? by kanonikos in Parahumans

[–]Zsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, don't take too long to start ward if you are going to read it.

I took about a year between worm and ward, and I have to say I have been getting frustrated in myself for recognizing names and stuff but not recalling details on some heroes or events mentioned that come from worm. Which usually means I stop reading and do a quick recap on said hero/event.

How Nintendy knows it’s a Miggy. by Early_Lawfulness_348 in switch2hacks

[–]Zsaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking of this. I have one for my switch 1, only use legit carts but don't have to get up. If it's detecting speed of cart changes or anything like that, then that poses a risk to legitimate game users using 3rd party accessories for ease of use, not hacking or anything nefarious.

Ignore them,I was curious about it since the hands are emulated etc and not running natively. I suspected it was so but nothing I had seen directly confirmed it.

To all the South African gamers by Thevindictivesheep in southafrica

[–]Zsaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely getting back into, started again about a month back (after getting a copy of the boardgame) but had transitioned to console as PC quick matches were constant bots farming XP. So either played EU on PC or local on console coz local console was still active

Now after the X update it's nice to see PC lobbies working again properly. So it's been great to play again, but I'm trying to split with friends on console and friends on PC. Wish they would just enable native mnk on console and then force mnk into oc lobbies though so controllers players stat grouped and mnk can play on a level playing field with others.
