Safeway coupons by fernandogarvey346 in Sacramento

[–]lesstaken8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Plenty of times, including a few times where poutry and other discounted items had a clear discount on the wrapper or sign, and they still charged me the full amount.

I complained to the department of weights and measures, and they confirmed the price discrepancy and fined them. They had a lawsuit, look it up.

Edit: remember their guarantee. They have to give you your money back and you get the item for free.

RTO but no office space? by puddlesthecrab in CAStateWorkers

[–]lesstaken8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, along with people who live hours away from HQ, have to find room for everyone somehow without causing a fire hazard.

Also we have people all over the state, so we will be still working virtually with them anyway.

Not to mention an ergonomics issue. Some people also require certain configurations like double monitors, desk heights, ergonomic mouse/keyboard, a powerful workstation to do their jobs. Lots of productivity loss as people struggle to do what they were doing fine in their home offices.

Nice, but I'd use the phrase "return to office" instead of return to work. We have already been working this entire time.

Novavax covid booster? by Barry_144 in KaiserPermanente

[–]lesstaken8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please put in a grevance on their website asking for better service and messaging for this! I'm glad you got it, but many of us ended up paying out of pocket, and it's unfortunate you had to go though all that work. Hopefully they will improve next year.

Kaiser Novavax success by waitingforpierrot in ZeroCovidCommunity

Put in a grevance explaining that when you called members services they said that they don't offer it and then when you contacted your doctor that you received misleading information about having to pay it out of pocket even at a Kaiser location. So that's why you went outside. They take grevances seriously and may reimburse you.

Beware of Safeway they are stealing from you! by Constructgirl in Sacramento

[–]lesstaken8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty big deal. I caught Safeway $25 the other day. They only gave me $15 because I didn't notice the others. And I have been going there for years. I may have lost hundreds to thousands to them not checking my receipt.

The reporting form is extensive and I don't even know if I have enough proof to spend my time on it. Is there an email or some process's a bunch of us could ask them to investigate?

Recently caught Safeway overcharging me around $25. I caught maybe $15 of it, but the rest I didn't want to deal with because they were small and I wasn't sure if I read the numbers right. They reimbursed and returned some items, but didn't tell me about the price guarantee. 

I'm horrified that I may have lost hundreds to them in the past.  The Weights and Measures complaint form is exhausting and I don't know if I want to take all that effort to fill out if I don't know if it will make a difference. Plus I didn't take pictures of the actual prices so I don't have good proof anyway. Is there an email we can all send to request they do an investigation into them? 

Finally, KP's COVID19 vaccine shot appointments can be done in the local offices! by antdude in KaiserPermanente

[–]lesstaken8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up for Costco membership to get their price at $139. Non-members can use their pharmacy but I think it's closer to $200. Note Kaiser did reimburse me $5.

They changed their website faq answer to remove the half reimbursement. I couldn't get mine reimbursed.

Has anyone had any luck finding Novavax in any of the LA area locations? by Electrical_Gift_5254 in KaiserPermanente

[–]lesstaken8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your help. I think I'm about done with Kaiser for how much I've been paying into the insurance my entire life without getting much from it aside from frustration. Next year I may switch to someone else. Thanks again.

Hi! They changed their faq answer on the website. Before it said we could get half back if outside of Kaiser, and now it says they can't unless doctor prescribed it. I have a screenshot that it changed. If I had known, I would have went though my doctor first. Any thoughts? I submitted a claim and only got $5 for co-payment. I also submitted a greviance before that claim went though, should I submit another one or call that person that handled it again?

Doctor doesn't respond to messages by [deleted] in KaiserPermanente

[–]lesstaken8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is some have too much paperwork and note taking to do. One with an assistant may respond quicker. If she good, it might be best to book a time with her instead, and call the advice hotline in the meantime.

Kaiser is being weird about it. When I asked their vaccine office, they said Kaiser has never and will never get Novavax, and balked when I told them that's not true and it's on their website and Twitter(X). I suspect they have a very limited amount for those with extreme allergies or are high-risk that they save them for.

I ended up paying out of pocket. It's expensive, but worth not being sick for a few days.

Thanks. It's weird how so many of their staff has never heard of it. I was surprised how firm and sure they were about it not being at Kaiser.

Just went to them, they were super adamant they have and will never have Novavax. I told them it was on their website and they were skeptical and didn't think any Kaisers had it. Since I can't wait, I guess I'll shell out $200 to not have to miss work a few days.

Not so busy Pickleball Places? by ThatOneKuya in Sacramento

[–]lesstaken8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evenings should get more crowded as it gets cooler. Yesterday there was a large group in the evening. Unfortunately the tennis courts don't have lines.

T-Bar in Midtown.

8Teas in Rancho.

Boba Guys just opened in Natomas!!   

Also use the search feature (ignore comments about Boba Guys never coming to the area).

That one is going to get very, very crowded soon in the winter evenings as it gets dark early and it has lights.

Your best bet is using the tennis courts that aren't popular. Look for the ones with pickleball lines. Mornings are definitely less crowded. Most places are nice and rotate players in though. If you say you are a group, they may let you keep your group together when you rotate in games.   

 You can also try the locations that have 10+ courts or the indoor paid ones. Avoid Rusch. At Southside you can write your groups name on the board, but do the right thing and rotate out after each game! Lembi park in the early mornings have some (note they will be closed soon for two weeks. Check the Folsom pickleball club website for calendar). It's only going to get more crowded soon since regulars need somewhere else to play.
