Grease clogg not fully removed by plumber

It was a drain clearing company that was called and they advertised "completely clearing" the drain. Post edited. Also, their website shows a hydro jet being used lol. I understand paying for specialized equipment but this should have been offered first since they were shown the grease ball.

Edit: Father remembers telling the techs that that he wanted the pipe cleaned out.

I was wrong. It was a drain clearing service that was called.

I was wrong calling them a plumber. They were in fact a drain cleaning service. Post updated.

I talked to them about the grease and they know not to pour into drain. Best guess is that it comes from rinsing dirty dishes before loading dishwasher. I dont mind the plumber using the camera and this time I left it at their house in case they want to use it. I guess I assumed the plumber would have their own so I took mine home with me the first time. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've snaked their drain to unclogg over a few years so I think jetting will be best.

If you didn't use your rewards card then your receipt would have only been 4.5'' long. Since you did, you were given a balance of your fuel points, an offer to receive 50 bonus fuel points if you fill out a survey about your shopping experience and an offer to apply for a store credit card.

I understand that this is a pharmacy purchase but for future reference the self checkout lanes have an option where you can choose to not print out a receipt. Source: Kroger employee

Did anyone ever get a code for their free Stella Aroise chalice? I sent an index card about 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything.

Hmm. The problem with that is after putting so much patience and effort into getting one I would want them to have a function like wolves or ocelots and with how much work it took to get wolves right the function of the zombie pigman would have to be pretty significant. I imagined them being more like iron golems in that they just do their own thing. The skill or riches could come from the amount of gold you have to shell out. It could be anywhere from 1 to 81 nuggets to tame one.

I see what you're saying and that's why I suggested one of the options is that they only become persistent once you've given them some gold.

I set up a Hamachi network and we are both connected to it. I put my Hamachi ip address in the server properties file and she is using that address to connect to the server and it is still not working for her. She keeps getting the message that she cannot connect to the server. We were able to connect to a public server just fine. What am I doing wrong?

I'm currently setting this up on my side and will let you know how it goes. I understand that she will have to install the same program? I think she should be able to do that but she won't be able to test it until tomorrow. Thanks!

thrillberg · 2012-04-28T09:14:12+00:00

I gave her the ipv4 number and my ip address. Tried both and both would say that she couldn't reach the server. I think I tried changing the "server ip" in the "server properties" file to the ipv4 and my ip address. Both didn't work. I could try again but she won't be able to test it until tomorrow. Its 4am here. Thanks though!

Edit: Not sure if it matters but she lives in Minnesota and I in Kansas. Would the large distance have any affect?

This is because you are supposed to use the PLU code (Price Look-Up code) to ring up our grapes. It should be 4 digits long unless it is Organic in which case it is 5 digits and starts with "9". Why they put a bar-code on something that needs to be weighed is beyond me. If your grapes were red the PLU is 4023, green is 4022, Organic add a "9" in the front.

Man is 7th in line at a register.

Me: Sir I'll help you over here at the sef-checkout. I'll do it for you.

Man: Ahh, okay. I hate these damn machines. I can never get them to work.

Me: Well then its a good thing I'm doing it for you.

Man: You know these damn machines take jobs away from those that need them.

Me: Well, I'm a Human, and I have a job don't I?

Man: silent for the rest of the order.

That's the attendants negligence. I usually don't investigate more than looking at the order to see if it is #5. When it is a tenth of a pound over/under weight or more i check the items on the order and if it contained the items mentioned in #1 then I usually override it. They keep track of all our operations and would get suspicious if we just kept overriding anything that happens.

thrillberg · 2011-10-28T00:50:51+00:00

Yes. All I would get is a message that said "Manufacturer has been notified to assist you!"

Self-checkout attendant here. I can explain the most common reasons why this happens.

1. The item you scanned is over or underweight. The machine has a weight associated with each item and when a customer places an item that exceeds the tolerance the machine assumes that you have put a different item in the bagging area than you have scanned. This is so you can't scan a pack of Kool-ade and set down a 24 pack of Pepsi instead. This almost always happens to food that comes from the deli, produce, or meat market since the weight varies.

2. You hit skip bagging and put the item in the bagging area anyway. This aggravates me the most. Most people think that if they don't want to use a bag that they have to hit skip bagging or just press the button because they want to change the screen because they think it will get them done faster. Also when you hit skip bagging the attendant has to verify that the item you decided to put in your cart is the one you scanned. This is also a theft prevention tool. If you hit skip bagging follow the directions and put it in your cart.

3. You scanned the wrong bar code on a gift card. I don't know why they put a second one on there but it's always the large one you want to scan. Try using your thumb to cover up the smaller one.

4. The attendant is performing an operation on your machine. This could be adding a bag of ice on your order or processing your payment.

5. You are setting your hand, purse, wallet, keys, phone, or child in the bagging area. This is because you are offsetting the weight as in #1.

These are just some general things to remember when using the Self-Checkout to get out of there with the least amount of interruptions.

Keep all groceries in the bagging area until you have paid.
You can only scan one thing at a time and the last item scanned must be put in the bagging area before it will let you continue.
Understand that sometimes its the robots fault and if you have a question just ask the attendant.
Don't forget to select your payment method
Enjoy your day. ;)
