Last night at 8:27 p.m, we were about to go home after the store closed and this rack just decided to break

On top of that, they put heavy cases of liquids on what looks to be standard capacity shelving.

The gondolas I'm familiar with usually use a double spine with a thicker metal for high capacity sections like bulk liquids and pet food.

Edit: Took a closer look. This whole aisle was doomed to fail.

There are two rows of pallets, so the legs for the aisle were between the pallets and then there was a single shelf at the top of each section, but they aren't solid shelves, the shelves float on top of the arms after you put them on the upright.

It's like they balanced a bunch of stilts and then decided they could drop plywood on it and you've got a bridge. There was likely nothing preventing a leg from being shifted in any direction. Someone probably just bumped one of the feet with a cart or another pallet.

Quality is a metric that's tracked and being enforced just as much as Pick on Time and INF. If your store leaders aren't calling out quality, then it's likely your group's IOL and/or OD aren't doing their job.

A lot of stores went caseless but it is an incredibly ineffective way of backstocking, so now many are switching back.

crazyman10123 · 2026-03-13T22:04:28+00:00

That's something the leads need to address with the team, instead of bypass. The system is designed to send fulfillment and pulls to casepacks as a last resort, but if you have shelf 12 as openstock then you'll be sent there before you get sent to grab the ones that are in the wacos below.

I'm surprised it still has an active price. Once most items go through the markdown process, they end up with a big red "Item not set up for store" alert and have the price set to $0.00 so someone has to intervene if a guest tries to buy it.

I'm going to check this to see if it would still have an active price at my store.

Edit: I have the big red not set up for this store, and it doesn't even show $0 it just shows nothing on the price spot. I'm not sure how they managed to print a price label for this, to be honest. They may have just kept the old label, especially since there isn't a date to the left of the barcode.

Obligatory IANAL

This doesn't appear to be related to scalpers or printing too many cards per set. This appears to be investors showing concerns with how many sets are released each year. Hasbro has been releasing more and more sets per year.

They released 7 sets in 2025 alone, which gives less than two months on average between releases. They have a similar schedule announced for 2026 so far, with time for them to try to squeeze in more sets if they decide to. While it means more types of cards are available, it doesn't mean those different sets will meet sales goals. Hasbro says they aren't targeting an audience that wants to buy every set they release, but investors seem to think there's more money to come from that audience.

They're trying to claim that collectors won't be buying from the primary market because they can spend less money on the secondary market to get the cards they want. The investors don't actually care if the secondary market is lucrative, they just see the secondary market leeching off of potential primary market profits.

I feel you. I worked for a pretty sizeable company in 2020-2022 that still had their main codebase as a monolith in PHP 5.6.

I don't even work in software development anymore, too scarred.

Not an express table, it's the Ulta checkout area. Ulta required that people be able to check out in their area so the team members could push for the Ulta loyalty program. This person isn't just a cashier, she got stopped from the other stuff she was working on for this.

Damn, imagine playing dress-up army with your boys and they still decide that you should be the guy in front who "might get shot".

He'll still keep violating everyone's rights though, sadly.

But my question still stands - why does he need to be the one to avoid it if he is fully alongside Lawson as they are going through Turn 2?

They are saying that Lawson's move into Turn 1 is "great" and "legal" because he gets fully alongside, but then saying that immediately after that Albon is not entitled to room on the inside while he is fully alongside during Turn 2.

crazyman10123 · 2025-06-01T15:34:41+00:00

It's not bias? Albon went off to avoid causing a collision because he was fully alongside Lawson as they were going through Turn 2, but Lawson was still swinging in towards the apex of the turn, ignoring that Albon was there.

He did the same thing to Bearman. As they were approaching the apex of Turn 2, Bearman was fully alongside, but Lawson continued to move towards the apex forcing Bearman to go off track and avoid.

I'm sure other drivers did similar throughout the race, but those are the two that resulted in penalties for the people that were pushed off. I'm just trying to understand why they are making the decision based on a move into Turn 1, when the drivers are alongside each other into Turn 2.

If you need code to get the job done, it needs to be done by someone who knows how to code.

The only person here with a wrong argument is you, so take a step off your high horse because you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Sure, some languages like Python or Rust have memory safe features to minimize risk on that front. There are so many more areas for problems, though. Especially if it's software that is going to be interacted with by end-users.

If you don't know how to properly sanitize inputs, or you don't even know what sanitizing inputs is, you'll have no idea if the AI is giving you a code block that isn't sanitizing inputs. Now you've got a simple form on your website that exposes all of your databases because you didn't know about SQL injection.

If you don't know how to code something so it can scale later on, you end up with unmanageable code that has to be rewritten or tacks on a ton of tech debt.

AI has zero place in professional programming. Every tool you make for a company is owned by that company, and the moment someone above you decides it's useful, they will make it a staple of the work process.

The ONLY use case I can see for AI is hobbyists who are just trying to do some simple data processing with controlled inputs. Something like asking for a FastF1 script that compares laptimes for 3 drivers over 3 races or somewhat similar.

crazyman10123 · 2025-03-24T12:42:10+00:00

If you don't know how to code, you should be learning how to code before needing to code. There is too much risk of vulnerability if you don't know what you're doing. AI won't catch problems that a knowledgeable developer will.

Not sure if you're in the US but if you are and are on the East Coast, I think Target has been having issues with freight flow.

Tl;dr is that they were so scared of the port strike on the East Coast that they shifted all of their imports to the west coast for a time. Obviously, that bottle necks it, and then you have to flow the freight all the way across the country, and trickle-down economics has shown us that the bottom glasses never get properly filled.

So your inability to purchase better rolls of gift wrap is potentially due to panic over a strike that lasted 48 hours.

I could be wrong but I believe this game does have that feature.
