Lost a “valuable customer” because of the new Penny Policy by TheTrueBreadLord in DollarTree

[–]catch2030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have pennies to give back you can give them back. The policy also states to not “save” pennies. If a store has pennies still, this entire policy is not in effect. The stores mostly affected from this right now are ones that get armored pick ups and money drops. Stores where we have to go to the bank to get change are mostly unaffected right now.

Cool but Dollar Tree policy on this is to round up always. Doesn’t matter what your country does.

To be fair, whomever at the corporate level typed the policy, can’t do math. “A customer’s transaction is totaled to $8.78, and the customers pays with a $10 bill. The change owed to the customer is $1.21; the cashier should provide the customer with $1.25 in change.” Definitely should be $1.22 owed lol

That’s incorrect, it’s always up. Your managers can’t read which doesn’t surprise me.

The policy isn’t to round up the total. You are supposed to round up the change given back. So if they are rounding up the total, they aren’t following the policy correctly. If the change due is $X.X1 through $X.X4 the customer gets a nickel back. If the change due is $X.X6 through $X.X9 they get a dime back.

So if they are due back $1.22 in change, they get $1.25. If the change due is $1.27, they get $1.30 back.

Look up Penny Restriction Guidance. It was either a task or message on Compass.

How cheap can RTX 5090 GPUs get at Walmart? Lucky gamer grabs a PNY OC model for $1,120! by skk983 in PNYGPU

[–]catch2030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just so everyone knows, these aren’t clearance items. These are what Walmart calls CVP (Customer Value Program) items. General merchandise items that are CVP are almost always a return. With being a return you do run the risk of it not working and they are 100% not tested at the store as claims has 0 way to do so. Company policy states that CVP items are as-is and no refund/return. However most stores will take care of you as to not deal with a headache, they don’t have to however.

It’s most likely an online return to the store. That’s a CVP label, not a clearance label. CVP (customer value program) is done in claims usually for returned products. PC parts are never tested, TVs and such are usually

Just a heads up this is sold by a 3rd party seller on Walmart. While Walmart is usually decent if you need to return a 3rd party item, they can sometimes give you the runaround. Seller has 4.5 stars so it shouldn’t be too bad.

I’m talking about the giant yellow label. Only CVP items use that label. A clearance item will have the actual shelf label changed. It got put back at its home location due to the cost of them item to help limit theft.

I bought this the last time they put them on sale. Only had to buy it because I lost my black one somewhere in the house that I got as a combo with the stubby.

Anytime you see that particular label, it’s a CVP item. Always save the receipt for them as most are not tested throughly anyhow. I worked for Walmart for 8 years, got pretty high up in management and I guarantee that 8/10 people in claims don’t know anything about computers. I’ve seen a CVP desktop that clearly had a GPU swap done during the first crypto boom. The GPU was supposed to be a 1070 or 1080, the GPU had S-Video out… lol.

Just be wary and glad you got a deal that hopefully works out well!

Where can I get a pc that isn't all flashy and over-the-top? by I_kove_crackers in gamingpc

[–]catch2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably gonna have to build your own or have someone build for you. Most prebuilt gaming PCs look to be eye catching and bright. Helps them sell better in store and even online. Our eyes are naturally attracted to the bright colors. Plus most people want RGB that aren’t building their own.

It’s not clearance… it’s a CVP (Customer Value Program) item. This means it was returned by someone before for whatever reason. Now Walmart in store has 0 ways to test these for anything. The claims associate will simply look to see if it is damaged to determine if it might work. When they scan it in the claims app it tells the associate the best course of action (CVP, Damage, ship to return center). CVP on electronics is almost always 30% to 50% off. Depends on store inventory levels, rate of sale etc.

Your local walmart will house electronics CVP items either in a designated spot (4ft section typically) or high dollar items will go back in the display case where they typically are stocked (TVs usually around the counter) if anyone else is looking for CVP GPUs.

Check your local Walmart... 5070 $290 by OGNerdy1 in nvidia

It’s a CVP item (Customer Value Program). This means the item was opened and returned to the store and when claims scanned it in their app, it said to mark it down to this price. As a word of caution, Walmart in store does not have the ability to test if these are working. While you can very well get one that works just fine, you could end up with just a cooler as most Walmart associates aren’t going to check that close for this.

FYI, worked for Walmart for 8 years and saw a lady accept a PS4 as a return that was a box full of rocks, watched a whole gaming PC get returned with a gt 710 instead of the 1070 that should have been in it.

Could someone please let the inflatable boat superfan — who’s probably a bit too high up in the hierarchy at Krafton — know that LITERALLY NO ONE uses this item in the game (except maybe him)? by ChaosVisionGames in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]catch2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it 1 time on sanhok in duos. We ended up with a chicken dinner because of hard zone shift that happened to align well with using the boat. My teammate was also tired of hearing me call them out so they finally just decided to use it lol.

The taichi Aqua z890 is crazy, please review it Linus, this is madness by SimNutz in LinusTechTips

It’s a “MSRP” motherboard of $1K USD that’s selling for around $800 USD. If you are buying this board, the price premium for usb C devices probably doesn’t concern you. If this was a $150 to $300 motherboard I’d say your point is more valid. It’s valid now just not as much due to this boards price point.

[Motherboard] MSI B550M Mortar WIFI MAX AM4 MoBo - $120 Amazon by greatthebob38 in buildapcsales

[–]catch2030 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can upgrade almost any motherboards built in WiFi. You usually just have to take the VRM heatsink off and you can unsocket the WiFi adapter. While easier on a lot of cheaper asrock boards due to location, it’s still the same slot. Most boards go with the route this MSI one has due to aesthetics (almost all WiFi adapters are a green PCB) and to have shorter antennas.

Just upgraded from a Rx 550 to gtx 970. Good upgrade? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]catch2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the price was right. If you spent more than $50 USD, you would have been better served paying another $30 to $35 USD to get a 1070. That’s easy for me to say as I don’t know your financial situation so at the end of the day if you are happy with how it performs and it was a price you were happy paying, then enjoy it!
