why is that?
What will we do here in the states? Pay more for stuff because of round ups in price? I understand the high cost of the penny being made but we could have contracted that work out to china or india and kept the cost down.
kebmo is right.. life without pennies is good. In Canada we round up or down. If it costs 12 cents, you pay a dime, but if it's 13 cents, you pay 15. Besides, it's only when you're dealing in cash.. digital is still to the penny. At a cost of almost 4 cents each to make, the penny coin doesn't really pay for it self anymore..
That's a great idea phart, have your American currency made in China.
End sarcasm.
You said that the cost will round up but you forgot about the round down. It works out in the end and it only applies to cash sales not credit cards or debit cards. They go to the penny.
speak for yourself.
I carry cash and change
I use a card for paying medical bills then pay it off in a few days, using the rewards i earn to help pay my bill lol,use their little system to my advantage.
What this no penny thing is leading to though is the cashless society that the 1 world government-liberal agenda is pushing for. All the transactions would be electronic, thus trackable, thus taxable, thus controllable. Thus eventually no free enterprise system. your kid wants to run a lemonade stand ,but has to pay for a machine to take cards and electronic means of payment, and would have to pay taxes on the small amount of money they make. All in the future, all needing nipped in the bud before it gets to far gone.
In some states and cities, it is illegal to round up a transaction to the nearest nickel or dime because doing so would run afoul of laws that are supposed to place cash customers and debit and credit card customers on an equal playing field when it comes to item costs.
A spokesman for Kwik Trip, the Midwest convenience store chain, says it has been rounding down every cash transaction to the nearest nickel. That's expected to cost the company roughly $3 million this year.
that is 1 company loosing 3 million a year because of this great idea,
I was 1 of 3 children and we were all daughters. The life lessons/skills taught should not be geared toward sons, alone. I wish I would have been taught how to change a tire and prepare my own tax returns….. although I can’t recall any specific occasions, my GUESS is my father did change a flat tire or two. As for tax preparation, that annual obligation was given to a paid accountant. I do wish my mother would have held MANDATORY informal “cooking classes” for my sisters and demand I. Sadly, I DO NOT have the knowledge, skill or raw courage to undertake the cooking of a turkey and traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner!
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!
I avoid going to Walmart as much as possible. I have been to Walmart maybe four times at the most in the past twelve years.
It’s not the store; it’s the people who shop there that's keeping me out. Too many rude, malodorous, entitled, pajama-wearing trash wandering aimlessly around for my comfort.
If I need anything, I shop Walmart online. I just ordered two aloe vera plants from there online and they arrived within a couple of days. No need to go to the brick and mortar, as far as I am concerned.
I go about 3 times a week, pic up what i need and it gives me a chance to walk on a flat surface and have something to hold to, the buggy to help maintain balance. There are some weird o'z in there for sure some times. But if you don't feel safe there, just go to the automotive section first, get a can of brake clean and put it in the baby holder of the buggy and shop away, someone comes up trying some shit, just give em a shot of brake clean, they will leave you alone.
I think you and Lookatmine2 are generalizing too much about Walmart. I would classify Walmart as a “discount” store and a discount store will attract people with “discounted incomes”.
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?

I will talk about her picture being uploaded in the wrong category all day long because it is. Some find her very appealing and I'm not sure why but it is what it is....
She still refers to me as a "cunt" and her lackey calls me a "bitch" but I'll be damned if I will call them anything as vile. Like some members say, appeal is beyond physical beauty it is about the confidence and attitude projected. I dunno, feed me peanuts and call me Dumbo but their damn attitudes scream "gutter rat".
This is not right. I know you and Lix don't like each other. Your post the other day about her photo not qualifying for the main page was ok. But, personal attacks demean you and especially, your lovely wife. Remember, Mrs CC54 competes with Lix. If you bring Lix down then you are saying your wife is in competition with mediocrity and if she wins, it's not much of a win.
You have said a "mouthful". You offer your sincere thoughts to CountryCouple54 and I would like to believe that you have done the same with any other members that demean either him or her.
I did try to make peace with lix a number of years ago and my message to her is still posted on my page. No response and to date, I am still referred to as a "cunt".
I have attempted to be tolerant of hotpussy aka TWOWARMTTS and TWOWARMTTS2. It is super difficult as she often gets "confused" as to what persona she is at any given moment. Quite often she speaks before she thinks and she can't rely upon her go to excuse of "heat of the moment". How many times should members turn their cheek?
I do hope that you continue to gather information, not what you are told but what you observe and form your opinion(s) from that.
Hotpussy was the first person to welcome me to the site. You were the second and Lix was the third. Three ladies with very strong personalities. Imagine my disappointment when I found out you three are in a constant war. What I said to Mr CC54 applies to other members too. As I said Hotpussy is special to me and it pains me that she can be so sweet with one person and so crude with another. That's why I posted, in her forum, how I felt about the way she referred to you. I don't want to know the reasons for either of you to be mad at each other. I am not a peace maker. I just think that civility can be a part of your arguments.
We have no problem competing with lix or any other member. And by the statement you made you act as if lix is the only competition. To say that a contest is mediocre because lix has not entered is asinine. There are plenty of other gorgeous and beautiful women hear that compete in the contests. Ones that bring more to the table then lix. And as far as lix being the first to welcome you to the site. Don't take it personal, she's the first to welcome every new man, every single day. This site is her job. And as far as Bella or any other member, we don't need to explain or justify to you our issues with lix. You're a new member, this feud goes years back. Way before you got here.
I really don't think WetNoodle is saying a competition is "mediocre because lix has entered". On the contrary. In my opinion, what he is saying is that if you refer to lix as "corned beef hash" and your wife competes in a contest with "corned beef hash" and wins, she's ONLY won because all she was ever up against was "corned beef hash". Your missus is MORE THAN THAT and he acknowledges it.
Son, I can see you miss out in a lot of good things in life. You should be on your knees thanking the All Mighty he brought the Mrs to your life. --------------------------------------- added after 22 minutes
One more thing. You say your wife competes fair and square, but, you fail to mention that the photo of this month's POM is a few years old......CountryCouple54 at 30,Sep,14 15:46
Almost 5 yrs old.
CC54, I'm gessing you don't like me. You are wrong but I doubt I'll change your mind. This photo of your wife is very exciting. It's really a perfect photo for a porn site. Others agree as it went straight to third place in one or two days. I really like it although, I'm sure you couldn't care less. In my opinion though, I prefer the other photo. The one you posted on the POM for this month. It's more subtle, much sexier, and doesn't say, "I'm a slut" like this one says to me. --------------------------------------- added after 61 seconds
Not the act. The pose. You want to make it about your wife. Why? Do you think she's a slut? I think she's a lovely woman. I think she's beautiful, gorgeous even, and deserving of all those prices she won. She also POSED IN A PHOTO THAT IN MY OPINION LOOKS LIKE A SLUT HAVING SEX. AND I LIKE IT. Obviously many men like the photo, FOR WHATEVER reason. When women pose nude to show it off in public, they will give the impression of being loose. If that bothers you then you should have a heart to heart talk with her --------------------------------------- added after 5 minutes
So,does this mean you un-blocked me? Is it temporary or permanent. Also, who PM you to do so? Did they say it was bad form to blacklist me? Well, everyone is convinced I'm a fucktard so here goes. After our exchange earlier, I'm with Hotpussy. The lady has the right idea. Take your unblocking and shove it up your ass
You clearly wish to have the word “fucktard” stamped on your forehead. Your opinion and definition of pictures posted here are NOT viewed in that manner, regardless of content.
Hey fucktard. You'll never learn. Jealously will get you know where. You're old and wrinkly twosaggytitties. Fuck off. You will drown in sorrow wishing you and Charlie have what we have. Your words will never and have never meant a fuck to us. You are like lix, you need this site to justify living. I'm sorry Charlie chose Jerome over you. And he would rather have a dick in his ass then his dick in you. No one asked us to unblock you. That was just another wasted chance. Some old bitch that runs around fucking anything and everything is the definition of a slut. My wife and I being loyal to each other for 25 years is what you wish you had. That's why it eats your ass up. So we will continue to do our thing, and you will continue to be pathetic. Remember what I told you the last time. I'll say it again. Eat shit and die you old bitch.
Hey! Don't call Mr Yumm a dorkus (even when he is kinda being a dorkus ). Now I am going to have to start a whole new forum topic in which to call you random, nasty, and completely unjustified names. I think I will call it Are you Ready to Stuff Stuff.
When I was growing up, we had neighbors, who my parents called by the names of Roman and Dorcas. At that time, I had no idea who was who but I had always hoped I would be fast enough to see where my parents were looking when they said whichever name. Parents can be so quick, or kids not fast enough, it took me a long time to figure out who was who.
Candy and I got married in 1971, had our 1st child in 1972, our 2nd in 1975 and the last one in 1981. My granddaughter was born in 1992, then we had 2 more from my daughter. My two sons had 2 daughters and two sons. My last grandson will be 2 on June 14 of this year. I met Candy in 1969 while working at Miami International Airport. We've been together over 48 yrs. Don't mistake the slutty persona she projects as being true. The pervs here seem to like that. What you can't deny is that for a 67 yr old woman she still rocks the pervs rocks. Lets see what your lady will look like when she reaches my Candy's age. BTW, Candy walks/runs 7 miles every Mon, Wed, & Fri. She does cardio biking every Tuesday and Thursday and she hits the Gym every lunch hour. You and your lady don't even have an idea what it is to be obsessed with each other. While she is and does all this, she keeps a clean home and is a fantastic cook. Jealous of you? not hardly. The only thing you've got is a curvy wife. and I have that too. What's more, when my wife was your lady's age she made your lady look like an old rag.
