That's a great idea but I'm sure their lawyers would tell them that people are assumed innocent until proven guilty.
I worked in a major department store once in one of my coworkers was talking about exactly this idea and we thought it was a great one. I still do.
I enjoy scrolling through YouTube and find many videos that show police slapping handcuffs on folks who are being “detained”. Is it possible that Walmart has the right to detain folks, until police arrive, in locked cages when they/Walmart has video evidence, that the subject was observed and or caught on camera concealing merchandise or skip scanning?
Of course you're probably right but I did pick up on the two words "skip scanning".
Isn't it ironic that someone could be arrested for not doing Walmart's employees jobs properly? 😄
I wonder why they don't have brooms on the bottom of the carts so we could sweep the floors while we're shopping.
Hey, the brooms on the bottom of the shopping carts is a marvelous idea, you should trademark/copyright/patent (whatever the terminology is) your idea!
Self service checkouts, ATM’s, Ticketmaster, as well as the kiosks in McDonald’s were created for folks who want to get in and out and don’t want to wait in long lines and with that implementation, did away with a human being! Oi!
MY THEORY, because a premium paid member inquired about the possibility of that option and admin obliged. Premium paid members can be “invisible”, premium paid members can make their points “invisible” to others and premium paid members can hide their gifts.
I opt to use the invisibility feature for myself and for my points. As a premium paid member, I realty don’t see any perk to hiding my gifts and wondered whether anyone was able offer rationale on why they choose to hide their gifts.
My apologies, the term “hide” was misleading or incorrect.
There is a box at the top of my gift page that I could ✅ and by doing so, would deny other members access to viewing my gifts. In my mind, those gifts are now hidden from view of others.
I thought you meant profile page. That was made so long ago so that not only I do not remember the reason, I forgot it's there altogether. My guess would be someone did not want others to see piles of shit someone sent to them and were too frugal to destroy them. But it's possible I just made it myself same way I made possible to hide friends, favorites and comments. Just as a package of premium options to make premium more attractive.
I used to hide mine because often certain males would get upset or jealous over gifts I received or certain women would visit my page and bitch at someone for sending me a gift. I’m hardly around and points and gifts don’t mean anything to me anymore really so don’t care to hide. I honestly find it weird to looking at what comments a person has received or gifts they get, kinda nosy.
I don’t like to delete decent gifts. Not because I care if they are seen or not. I just don’t want to destroy a gift that a member ponied up points to show me they care. To all of you that did or will do….
I don’t like to delete any gift for any reason however, admittedly I have…. There’s been times that I have been short on points, didn’t want to buy points and decided to destroy a gift, sent from years ago, for the points I “needed” at that time.
As far as hiding my gifts, I have what I have and they were sent by so many different members for so many different reasons. I’m sure I decided to delete some negative gifts but there came a time that I had clarity in my thinking; why delete something that I “earned”?
Although falling thru the floor can happen this is all ai generated.there are no floor joist under the floor once it opens if you notice. I was shown some videos over the weekend of our campers rolling around flipping over and such, all Ai generated, looked real at a glance but as soon as I saw the bottom of what was supposed to be mine, it was obvious it wasn't real. Besides the fact i slept it for 2 nights and brought it home! But it was odd to see my light weight single axle camper push over a diesel pusher motorhome!
I had no idea being a jew was so difficult.
You can't tear toilet paper on certain days or wear a certain watch. sheesh how do they keep up with this stuff?

Yea i was hoping that we could ditch that mess but apparently the Loonies that think you can cut the end off of a blanket and sew it to the top will make the blanket longer.
I want to walk first thing in the morning but have to wait until almost 7:30am for it to be reasonably light. Yep, I don’t want to wander upon a gator or a snake! Oh, hell NO!
We’re off to what I anticipated, the time change is going to screw me up for a few days. Yeah, I woke up shortly after 5a (yesterday it would have been 6a) and I will struggle to stay awake until 11 or 11:30p because my body knows that yesterday it was 12/12:30a.
I had three clocks, a battery operated clock in my family room, a battery operated clock on the kitchen wall and the stupid clock on the stove. I lucked out, there’s no clock on the microwave!
well, it says 8 but it is 7, i have got to change the alarm clock at least because i have a appointment to get die in my viens in the morning to see where the plumbing is clogged up so i have to get up at the right time. If it weren't for that , i wouldn't bother changing the clocks for a while , because our power blinks some times when folks hit power poles or repairs are being made. and there is about 10 clocks to set.
I was chatting with a member and mentioned merchants charging their customers an additional 3% for using their credit card. I can’t imagine the 3% “convenience fee” is a Michigan or Florida thing, do you find that merchants you’re engaging with are passing their fee along to you?
Yes a lot of places here are adding the 3% , it seems to be more restaurants right now adding it to the bill, I’m not sure how regular shops are adding it, because they wouldn’t know how you were going to pay
Wow, just restaurants? When you say “regular shops”, please explain.
Yes, approximately a year+ ago, it was the “mom and pop” restaurants that added 3% to your check if you used your credit card but this year……. I was gobsmacked when I was charged 3% convenience fee at both the Buick and Cadillac dealership when I used my credit card for service related work. Like the average person (me) always carries $500 cash money with them at all times! And both dealerships, which are not related, are part of multi dealership “franchises”.
Regular shops, I mean like department stores, Walmart, grocery stores, there is no actual add on that I can see as of yet. Yes Subaru wanted to charge me 3% if I put a down payment on my credit card to get the reward points, I told them hell no !!!
Thank you, I now understand and agree that the regular shops have not YET added an additional 3% fee if a credit card is used!
Effective November 15, my insurance company is charging the 3% fee. I lucked out because my auto and home owners renewal effective date is November 1, woo hoo! I’m a bit skeptical about giving any company my checking account and routing numbers or allowing the same to store my debit card numbers on file.
Old school, YES, check writing, HECK NO! In most instances, writing a check normally translates to requiring a postage stamp and I am too cheap in that respect! I really only write six checks per year 1) summer property taxes and another check for winter property taxes 2) every 90 days, a check for water/sewerage/refuse. Perhaps there is way to pay those bills without writing a check, I haven’t explored that possibility.
In the past, I’ve charged almost everything and when it’s time to pay, I transfer funds from my checking account to my credit card account. Easy, breezy!
This was my logic from a hundred years ago but apparently I’m going to have to revamp my thinking for the next hundred years. My “motto” was why pay for something now when I can pay for it later. I know that type of thinking gets many people in trouble but it WORKED for me until a year ago. Basically I USE two credit cards and I pay them off every month. And because I have the type of credit cards that I have, every month my credit card(s) give me back up to 3% which translates to $80 + for paying the bill in full. I look at it as being free money.
There are plenty of people who charge, charge, charge and only pay their minimum payment and are being charged 28% interest OR MORE. They are in debt up to their eyeballs and the 3% “convenience fee” is going to hurt even more.
I question whether the majority of the world’s young people have been taught cursive writing skills. What do you think their signature line might look like…….X ?
Excuse me for a moment while I "spew some hatred":
animosity, contempt, disgust, loathing, ill will, malice, acrimony, rancor, detestation, execration.
Now that that is out of my system, I return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
I realise there are some new words out there thanks to new technologys and so forth.But I have yet to hear or read any "new" words to more simply discribe a pain in the ass than to just say, pain in the ass. No matter your education, those words sum up the likes of the "member" that is trying to cause illwill and headaches on the site.
I guess if you were in public or around young 1's ,you could say, a pain in the backside, and be ok.
As for being a "contributor of hatred", if I am not sending messages,and I have blacklisted someone,and 4 weeks later my name gets brought up in regards to something said weeks ago that others have forgotten and got past, I can't see that I have made a further contribution.IT would appear my past contributions have earned "intrest" so to speak as they are being brought up again and again by a "member" that drools over the thoughts of causing trouble.
So to me,that person is "racking muck" or stirring the pot,and is worse than me as I have let the bear go to sleep,they are poking it.
How dare I state something that I KNOW and pass it off as KNOWLEDGE? That's absurd! It's the exact opposite of the definition of KNO...no, wait...that pretty much IS the definition.
The Crone is an idiot.
Uh,my vocabulary is limited but I think the words, delusional,deranged,socialy disfunctional and complete could be placed in front of the word idiot in your last sentance.
I am not sure the word Crone is a good 1 to use.

I was using Crone in its original meaning--an extremely old, withered, and usually disagreeable woman of ill-intent or malicious demeanor. The "wise woman" definition of the Crone as the third aspect of the Triple Goddess figure is more of a Neo-pagan concept.
I could have gone with HAG, but I felt that Crone expressed a more malicious and mentally unbalanced image.
You are correct, though--idiot does feel right.
I am just tickled pink I can't see the "members" typings anymore. You would think me blacklisting the "member" and walking away would be enough to show I don't give a shit and it would just go on to some other adventure instead of bringing me up way later.
Regardless if I spewed hatred,love or puke,I have not spewed it lately and the "Member" bringing it back up only further indicates they or it is the 1 with a problem,not me.
It's about damn time.
The Crone is annoying beyond all reason. I am sure that a majority of the forum's users agree. If all who felt that way just blacklisted it, "Baby Jane" would only have three people to bother.
Of course, that only means that the Crone will blow-up the forum with ranty posts about how evil you are.
Given the fact that there have been some pretty fucking annoying members here over the years, that's saying a lot!--------------------------------------- added after 15 minutes
BTW: I keep voting for your wang, Mr Yumm, but I just can't seem to keep it up there...
Only vote when you receive +3 points, don't spend -20, it's a losing battle. Looks like there's always a couple of SYC members at the top, one promoting his "girlfriend" and the other one just because....
Hey, I've voted for your dingus, too! The only difference is I'm voting for you when I get +3 from the site, JustWill is spending 20 points and if that ain't love......
We must have been voting simultaneously. RedFoxy was at #1, 2nice #2 and licksipsuckit #3. When I voted (14:16), 2nice moved into #1, licksipsuckit #2 and RedFoxy dropped to 84% and into 3rd place.
I'm sure 2nice's first is going to be short lived.
It's a funny thing. Other than referring to her as "vulgar", I don't light into her because I do think she's unbalanced. The other day I did say something about her 60's hairdo and the Baby Jane bow holding the fake ponytail in place. I don't recall what she told me she had HOWEVER it caused her to lose her hair and now it's the length of a man's haircut. How can I go off on a bald headed crazy lady?
My last straw was when she lit into CountryCouple54. She keeps saying she doesn't care "what side of the street people walk on" however I feel she does not care for gay men. After all, didn't she say something about a SYD member must be gay if they didn't find her sexy or desirable. That's like saying being gay is not acceptable. WHATEVER!
Anyway, she said something about CountryCouple54 and I came back saying something about an "Australian member" doing the same and wielding a toy sword. She moved my post, ONLY MY POST, to his thread and of course, it looks bad, he hasn't seen the entire conversation. This was an opportunity for his girlfriend to call me a cunt and the Crone says something about my "shriveled tit". I'm done!
my blacklist has been increased,I am betting it is because the "member" has started a fake profile to further tarnish my profle.SO if you don't see me here,thank the 12th rectum that blacklisted me.
