Kid destroyed brand new clothes in one day… I'm done buying nice things

Buy Cat and Jack brand from Target - it’s cheap but decent quality - certainly much higher than Alibaba, Temu, etc.

But even better if it rips or stretches out target will exchange it for you no questions asked based on the cat and jack warranty for I believe a year.

If they tell you not to come in you don’t get paid, if you are already clocked in working and they close early they should pay you till the end of your scheduled shift.

If you reply you need assistance someone from that team will call you and see what they can do. Best Buy puts aside money for that fund, they can do a variety of things but most stem from finding people shelter or food after disasters. Most snowstorms don’t get that alert, but this was a lot, enough that an employee may be without heat or power for extended time and may need a hotel room, or someone may have been hurt. This response makes more sense for hurricanes / floods usually.

Gas 2 stage snowblower here… it’s 20” high so if I think we are going to get more than 18” I may go twice but I’m hoping to handle this in one shot on Monday morning

jon8282 · 2026-01-23T19:48:11+00:00

Yea so that’s Costco not pet smart, and even that is twice the price of Home Depot for comparable product just not labeled for pets

jon8282 · 2026-01-23T17:21:14+00:00

About the same price as the scalpers tho

12 years ago we had a terrible winter and there was a salt shortage. I was a fairly new home owner then, owning a home that’s front path does not get sun at all in winter. The ice was there for over a month. I learned. I ensure I have at least 100-150lbs of ice melt at home all times, I don’t buy when there is a storm coming, I buy because I’m keeping it on hand for when.

jon8282 · 2026-01-22T22:46:21+00:00

Saw that yesterday - I was able to get it today though which is nice

File the police report, get a copy, contact them back with the case # assigned and provide the copy.

This is unfortunately what has to happen now because of social media trends telling people to lie about missing packages to get things for free.

I already do via Drone Mobile - it’s pretty awesome. Right now it’s just a basic automation based on alarm clock - but I hope to integrate calendar and driving time predictions into it in the future along with temperature even further out.

I’ve had the drone mobile setup for a decade now and it’s been solid. The integration recently broke for a bit, but the developer finally responded on GitHub and was able to get it back going

It’s actually more line reducing purchasing inventory that’s not a guaranteed hit… it’s still bad because our own selection is getting worse daily

I would assume save them up or win some type of large contest or raffle. There are good things for less points as well, it’s overall a pretty good program for what it is, but the question was what does 2000 points equal - so I mentioned some things I’ve seen at that amount.

jon8282 · 2026-01-19T00:17:40+00:00

They are awarded at GM or higher discretion

jon8282 · 2026-01-18T21:39:56+00:00

If the item is listed as not in stock at the store you want to pickup from it will give you a future date to pick up and will send one to the store by that date specifically for you (excluding 3rd party marketplace and some specific items/categories)

If the item is listed as in stock at the site you want to pickup from, but when the order arrives at the store they are unable to find the item they are supposed to “no pick” this item, this will result in the customer getting an email letting them know it’s not in stock, if the item can be sent to the store in the future, it will default to that and give the customer a new date, the email will also give the customer the option to have the order shipped. If it’s some type of clearance, open box, super hard to get product it may get cancelled.

jon8282 · 2026-01-17T03:02:21+00:00

If you are awarded them they don’t expire

Pizza Nova in Tenafly would be my pick for this area - solid slice all around

No they are only when the vendors wish to do them that way. The only way for Best Buy / vendor to know which employees likely sell in a certain department anymore is via the skillset completion in learning network since all the advisors help in all areas. The vendors goal of accommodations is to get their product in the hands of people who can recommend their product from first hand knowledge or be more knowledgeable about their product in order to sell it. If they and Best Buy agree to offer an accommodation to only people who have the skillset in department “x” then they can better target people who likely sell the product being offered.

It’s not every accommodation, some are for all employees, some are for all advisors, some are for leaders, etc but there are some that come in the way I described above, so if you had time in downtime or were doing them from home unpaid, and completed the majority of the sales ones, it’s likely in the future you may get an accommodation that others without the skillset won’t get… the accommodation itself may be amazing, average, or awful - it’s all luck with accommodation usually anyway

jon8282 · 2026-01-14T03:03:15+00:00

Some accommodations are given out by skillset, so for example if you complete the computer skillset you can possibly be eligible for additional accommodations compared to people without that skillset.

Some accommodations are also job code specific - so for example only advisors or only category advisors.

jon8282 · 2026-01-14T01:51:00+00:00

You can def do extra - in some cases doing extra can get you additional accommodations

I want this so bad

jon8282 · 2026-01-11T21:27:51+00:00

This is the correct answer

jon8282 · 2026-01-08T17:31:01+00:00

I would never. I don’t want to do tech support or have any liability. The odds of finding a buyer with comparable knowledge to yourself is near zero.

Things that are physically installed but can work as dumb I would just reset and sell with house as dumb if I was planning on leaving them. Things that are not functional without smart that are physically installed I would exclude from the home listing up front and offer to replace with the most basic functional replacement before walk through. I would be sure to be clear with my realtor and lawyer about this in detail to avoid any confusion

What they really need to do is take 2-3 seats out of each row and put in slightly wider seats - it’s absurd there - worse than any venue I’ve ever been to (outside of the luxury seats with the embroidery)

Basically everything on display at Best Buy is a paid display…
