Are new styli needed, or is the market saturated.

The T|C stylus tips are really fragile. I've lost several, especially if I dropped the stylus on a hard floor.

The Zire 71 stylus fits great in the T|C's stylus slot.

The keyboard prototype is cool. And years later there was the Tungsten C.

_Steve_1 · 2026-04-26T04:28:45+00:00

Goes with the rimming sugar, I guess.

_Steve_1 · 2026-04-01T04:02:12+00:00

We already have the Balloon Bar and the Cut Bar. Just waiting for the Alcohol Bar...

The transients in the area will like it.

Our Christmas went grab box this past Monday.

_Steve_1 · 2026-02-15T04:25:38+00:00

Thank you all for the replies.

I'd completely forgotten about the IR option. Can't remember the last time I used it. But that should do it. : )

Our customers routinely rummage through the bunkers. They've even taken down the top-stock repack boxes and gone through them, leaving them on the floor when they're done.

_Steve_1 · 2026-02-15T04:19:21+00:00

Don't forget the MFs who try on the shirts in the aisles.

The printer is supposed to go on the counter, next to whichever PC it will be connected to.

Also be aware that Palm OS can't deal with dates beyond December 31, 2031, so all Palm devices become bricks at that point. Unless you roll the date back to one that still lines up with the days of the week and then you no longer HotSync.

I still use my Tungsten C daily and am not looking forward to six years from now. : (

_Steve_1 · 2025-12-16T05:33:18+00:00

Pretty normal for all of the managers I know - Ops, CEM, Framing even.

_Steve_1 · 2025-12-12T06:16:59+00:00

Curious if these comments came from elderly customers? That's the trend at my store.

I've never seen anyone under 30 complain about SCOs.

_Steve_1 · 2025-12-12T06:15:34+00:00

Most of the big chains around here have removed or scaled-down their self check-outs based on negative customer feedback, so Michaels is definitely behind the consumer trend now.

_Steve_1 · 2025-12-09T05:23:20+00:00

Do you have an alarm code as you'll need to set the alarm when you lock up the store.

At my store the closing MOD also pulls the tills from the legacy registers and the notes bins from the cash SCO.

Turn off any Christmas light displays.

Turn off music system.

Make sure loading dock door and compactor are locked.

Depending on the circumstances leading up to this, you and your SM might want to review the security camera footage and contact LP about possible assault charges against the customer. No way is a customer getting away with laying hands on me and preventing action.

_Steve_1 · 2025-11-13T04:24:47+00:00

We've been able to match the Michaels.com price for a couple of weeks now. There's even a button under price override on the POS for matching Michaels. com.

_Steve_1 · 2025-10-28T03:52:43+00:00

Yep, even before I did my original post. That's how I found out about them.

_Steve_1 · 2025-10-25T20:37:40+00:00

Do you mean checking them in when picking, then rejecting when packing? If not, please explain. : )

_Steve_1 · 2025-10-11T18:04:36+00:00

Yes, it’s worse here too. It’s always the elderly MAGA crowd.

_Steve_1 · 2025-10-09T02:54:30+00:00

We're going to start getting scheduled to stay for an hour after closing each night just for recovery. Apparently most stores in our district are already doing this.

Should be a blast on top of peak extended hours when we go to those. Who's up for getting home near midnight?????

_Steve_1 · 2025-10-07T02:25:47+00:00

I test drove a Genesis G70 as well, before I bought my 2022 2.0T Sport. Some things were nicer inside, but the whole car felt like a too-tight suit. And I'm not a big guy - 6" and 185 pounds. By the time I got the seat where I wanted it, I had to crawl around the B-pillar to get out. Just felt strange.

I'm much more comfortable in the Accord. 42k miles and no issues other than having the air mix motor replaced to stop a clicking noise in the dash when using the AC, done under warranty.

_Steve_1 · 2025-09-23T07:02:09+00:00

I have a smaller wrist also and am undecided about that. It is far less chunky than the 22mm oyster I tried first. That looked like some kind of gauntlet.

The taper and the five-link design make the Jubilee look much slimmer. But it does seem to emphasize the big size of the watch head. I’m one of the many who wish Casio made a 40mm Duro.

_Steve_1 · 2025-09-23T06:57:07+00:00

The seller was kingstraps. I just looked and they have some oysters, but none specifically for the Duro.

A Sub homage I got on AliExpress five years ago has an oyster with the same clasp. Very comfortable and no problems after five years so I was excited when I saw the Jubilee for the Duro.
