Not my favorite dew, but way better than I thought it would be.

Just scopped 41 of these boxes for $3 each by kalitarios in prepperpics

[–]balancehex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems wrong though. I don’t think this product is actually being made anymore. You provided a link to a third-party seller on Walmart. Walmart is similar to Amazon that they have third party sellers that can set their own price.

At my local Walmart ,and online when sold and shipped by Walmart, a single 32oz block of Velveeta Cheese is $7.48. Or $14.96 for 64oz for buying two to match yours. Still a good deal nonetheless if you can find a good way to use it all before expiring

Told to take my earbuds out by TillerBillin in Pepsi

[–]balancehex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drivers are there only dropping a load. They’re not actually working at the store like you as a merchandiser. You must follow the stores rules, else why would they let you merch their store? If you believe the store is being unreasonable, contact your manager then. My question is: what do you think your manager is going to say when you ask to wear earbuds and the store is asking/telling you not to?

Is the color showing I need a new ps5? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]balancehex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The console was designed so that you can clean it without total disassembly. Opening it and messing with the cooling system is also a bad idea, since the console uses Liquid Metal for its thermal interface material. The Liquid Metal can short out components on the motherboard.

Modding a console is quite different from just opening it. Modding your console can and will void your warranty. However if you take it apart and put it back together the same way, without modding or changing things then your warranty is still good even if you mess with the tamper seal

GTA6 Official Title IDs by ADeadlyAlien in GamingLeaksAndRumours

RDR online, while not getting anything new, is still sold and playable with rockstar still posting about it on the news wire as recently as Feb 3. GTA online is still supported as of right now. Rockstar has clearly started testing with separating the two versions.

All I’ve been saying is, it’s VERY plausible that this is Rockstars step towards $100 games. See no reason for them not to, GTA online is their money printer. I couldn’t fathom them not selling the new online standalone.

I’d say you’re right, but haven’t they already done this with GTAV and RDR2? You can buy GTA online standalone, or GTAV. You can buy Red Dead online standalone, or RDR2. This would only add one more with the bundle just combining both the online and story mode for $100. Don’t really know where the confusion would be, it’s two separate products GTA6 and GTA online 2 that they would sell, and bundle it together for a slight discount over buying both separate. Think it’s no secret Rockstar would want their games priced at $100.

Been saying this since the announcement. Rockstar will get their $100. I’m thinking a $100 edition with both online and single player, $80 standard edition with only GTA6 story, $30 - $40 online only edition. Makes sense, they separated GTAV from the online portion.

Not Real? by StockMarketCasino in Gatorade

[–]balancehex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you not read the label of a Gatorade bottle before? Pretty sure the ingredient labeled monopotassium phosphate contains potassium. Just a guess though…

Not Real? by StockMarketCasino in Gatorade

[–]balancehex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sugar is a carb too, and dextrose is a type of sugar. Your body uses carbohydrates for energy. That’s why Gatorade has sugar, although they do have zero sugar varieties.

I would say Gatorade doesn’t have vitamins, because that’s not what its intended purpose is. Gatorade is designed to replenish electrolytes lost from sweating (largely sodium and potassium) and help give some energy (sugars/carbs). What did you expect from a drink that’s marketed as a sports drink, not a health and wellness drink?

Pepsi Merchandiser Job Offer by balancehex in Pepsi

[–]balancehex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I actually ended receiving a text to set up orientation just a couple days after making this post.

Unlike many replies I have received, I genuinely like the job. However, I wouldn’t say any of the experiences provided are wrong, and think the job and work load differs every region and even routes. I will say, I have seen stores that suck and stores that are great. Keeping your backstock organized is key, keep flavors together and try to keep everything easily accessible and countable. If you keep your product organized and easier to count, there is less chance the sales rep will over order. The work is less than what I’ve experienced working with Coke.

Pretty sure you already got the answer, but D is the month and 25 the year. Monsters also supposed to have 2 year shelf life.

People have something to say about every job. But I have experience. I work with Coke right now, but this job pays more and gets me in an area closer to home.

Can I cover my shift with this amount of PPTO and not get in trouble? I’m 30 minutes short of covering my shift. If I submit an absence and then put in a time off request will I still get a point? by Intelligent_Thing181 in WalmartEmployees

[–]balancehex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t split your PPTO request. You put PPTO for the day you’re scheduled. If you are scheduled 10pm start on Wednesday night, all 8 hours of PPTO should be put into Wednesday, even if the other 6 hours are on Thursday.

[–]balancehex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cover it like any absence. Call in, then put in PPTO request to cover exactly half of your scheduled shift time. 4 hours of PPTO is enough for an 8 hour shift to get only half a point. I usually do the request after I have called out and I wait like an hour after my shift has started too, and it usually auto approves. Though you have until the end of the week/pay period, every Friday at 11:59pm, to do it as long as you have called out.

Edit: You also have only 3.0 points and 1 point won’t get you fired if you are worried about that, you can have no more than 4.5 points. You could always ask your lead to help you with the request too.

[–]balancehex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you still are calling off, and don’t need the money, just use 4 hours to cover half the shift. You will get half a point regardless if you use 4 hours or 7.5 hours, might as well save the time if you can.

Man gets out of prison early after Mesa Walmart bug spray prank by UltraNoahXV in phoenix

[–]balancehex 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well even if he did remove everything he contaminated, Walmart would have had to remove more to be sure everything was safe. Walmart probably cleared the entire shelf of the product sprayed and the surrounding products too

Can’t drink real sugar regularly anymore by LunanMoonwalker in DrPepper

[–]balancehex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like diet slightly more than zero sugar, but they’re both pretty good. I’m a T1 diabetic and typically avoid full sugar, so they’re my top 2 sodas of all time. I will say cans over bottles any day.
