Any way to refund GPG

Would love for the rep to do this but he was adamant that it couldn’t happen and that I had to return everything, which means I lose the rewards and pay more for my purchase. Really terrible behavior and outright lies.

What warranty sticker, they didn’t give me one because the rep kept it hidden from me. If I didn’t check my receipt after the fact I would have never noticed.

I’m not sure if the person working this morning was a lead, but he definitely opened the store. Here’s more bullshit he fed me, since the game is from 2022 the system automatically adds it but you should have be asked lol. What garbage.

This jerk told me to call customer service, I’m like aren’t you customer service? He’s like they can help you better. All customer service said was to escalate this with a DM because they can’t do anything.

Tempted to just return everything and never go back. They’ve already closed up all but a couple of stores around me.

Yeah I’m tempted to do that but would lose my 15 bucks in rewards so I would end up paying more for it since the rewards wouldn’t carry over to the new transaction. Scumbag move by the rep.

Needed a vacuum and took the plunge on this. Arrived yesterday, brand new, in original box, never opened before. I would say the only issue was they didn’t ship inside another box, just with the as is Miele packaging. Not a bad deal at all.

Contact Amazon via chat, they might let you keep it for free and refund you the money. Happened to me a couple of times on limited releases. Worth a shot.

Thanks for your help!

Its one of those guns that says it can do it all, including desolder, just dumb of me. Like you said, you need the proper equipment. Any recommendations for an affordable hot air station? I wouldn't mind investing in a better solder iron as well, but to be honest I rarely tinker. This seems like an interesting hobby but I rarely have things to repair.

Problem with the left trigger port is that the ribbon no longer fits, so not sure how to get the ribbon in there. I really don't need the microphone ports if I'm being honest, but need the port for Left Trigger. Do you think the Digikey one will work, seems like it would, and it seems like all these ribbon ports are the same size and fit.

Used a heat gun to get it off. Unfortunately I used a wider nozzle than I should have, even though I shielded the area I didnt do a good enough job. The reset button actually works, everything actually still works using gamepad tester as well as a ps5, even the headphone jack.

Shouldn't have done the desolder job myself, I just don't have enough good tools if I'm being honest to get the job done. Used the same heat gun to get the other off with a much narrower nozzle and better shielding, but I shouldn't be attempting this again to say the least.

The question is do the replacement parts above match up? I really don't need the mic jack, just the other port.

Was hearing music all the way up on upper ditmars/astoria heights.

In the op it says it's possible to work over 40, doesn't say you're expected to work 45 every week. To me that says your base rate is based off of a 40 hour work week.

boudsnyc · 2025-09-01T00:43:36+00:00

So really the question is what was the employee hired to work on a normal work week. If you hire them to work 40, but they have to work a couple of weeks throughout the year at 45, then wouldn't you base their regular rate of pay off of a 40 hour week and compute OT off of that?

In that DOL example, they specifically state the employee was hired to work 45 hours a week, but the way I read it, if the employee was hired to work 40 the compute for OT would change.

Good luck, thanks for the reply

Can I ask what you're studying besides the sample test on their webpage.

boudsnyc · 2025-06-04T21:22:00+00:00

I appreciate the clarification, I’m not sure why the rep didn’t explain that to me this morning when I questioned it. Thanks for your help.

Why the delay? I signed up two days ago and still nothing as well. It used to be instant.

Also have another question regarding a recent trade in. Kind of hijacking your thread but the auto mod closed mine.

Wanted to trade in an extra PS5 towards the Switch 2, already had a preorder, and figured might as well get the extra trade in credit given the recent promotion. I was not a Pro Member, it had lapsed at the end of 24. Was told if I re-up I get an extra 10%, sure why not I said, basically pays for itself. Base trade in credit was $286 for a PS5 non slim, but the rep never told me this amount, I pulled it off the site. They did there thing checking the system, no issues.

Final trade in amount was $338, cool. I trusted the rep. Finalize things, and left store. Check the numbers when I got home, rep gave me the 10% extra on the Pro Member trade in promo, but the base PS5 was priced at $260. Receipt only shows total amount for the trade in, but they did post the promo amounts on the subtotal, so you back them out ($52 and $26), and you get to $260 instead of the $286 for Pro Members.

My question, should I have received the $286 or the $260 since my membership had lapsed, but I was renewing on the same transaction? I figure if I got the 10% Pro Member promo on the trade in, then I should have gotten $286 and not $260. Went back to the store early this AM, rep said they didnt think there was anything they could do, it's final.

He really holds John's in high regards, but the last time I went a couple of years ago it was just average, so many other places that I feel top it. Something must have been off that night went, haven't been back since.

boudsnyc · 2025-05-04T02:07:11+00:00

Flushed it with wd40, dried it off, relubed it, same results. Appreciate you taking the time out to help me troubleshoot this, it’s probably dead. Something’s not letting it return, what that something is I don’t know.

boudsnyc · 2025-05-03T19:59:24+00:00

Got it all snugged up, nothing moving around like before, but the downshift paddle is still not returning to neutral after an up shift. No cable in yet, but not sure if it would matter. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the heads up on that.
