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?

Looks like lix would have her panties in a bunch, too bad she doesn't wear them.
My guess is that she referred someone to the Evaluation Panel for deletion on the 10th of September. My guess is that the referral was dismissed HOWEVER, the first person voting at 03:40 left a comment that was totally unnecessary. Hey, lix, that referral appeared to be open for at least 20 hours, surely you had time to see who posted that comment, but it wasn't me.
No worries, I reached out to admin hoping he could help, there's no need for Whatsupcocks to keep an "eye" on me. From the for what it's worth department, I wasn't online for 6 or 7 days, this kinda drama was getting to me, so really, it wasn't me. Have make it a good day, you can't help that you're a hater and haters are gonna hate.
Go to Aussieman's thread and you will see it there. She's so hell bent that I posted the comment, she probably can't get her fuck on. And like I said, Whatsupcocks said he would keep his eye (bella) open. Give me a break! Then there's admin, who can not or will not, stay unbiased. When he responded to my private message, he said that I demanded, yes, demanded that the response that the referring member would receive would be from "anonymous" but he neglected to take the link off the response that would jump the member to the Abuse Page and they can view which member voted which way. I didn't want members contacting me about my vote. I am one of few members that provide a reason. Even if I agree, I will always say, "as stated".
I find it difficult to wrap my head around the idea that she was not online within the 20 hour period. Meh, something for her to bitch about and speculate that it was me. She is so fricken blinded by her "hate" toward me. Hey, lix, it wasn't me and contrary to your opinion, I have only one profile and IF someone pretends to be me, my guess it is Skittles or cody8789. Also, like I said, that was within the timeframe of that I was not on the website.
Were you awake and on a Thursday "morning" posting at 3:40? I don't think you were. But if admin finds out that it was you, he will revoke your voting privilege.
admin does not take this lightly, nor do I. Do you realize that every time she is insulted, it flips back on me. Think about it, years ago, when there was a group was formed about her, admin blamed me for that, even though I didn't come up with the concept, I didn't use my points to create and when another member brought the attitude into the forum, I tried to calm it down. The other day she was called a "walrus", i can't remember in what context, but admin pointed fingers at me and said something about "my group". I don't have a fricken group.
You've got to be aware that lix thinks very highly of herself and that if members say negative things about her, she THINKS it's because I fire y'all up and prompt you to say those things. And the same thing goes for Candy. You guys, there's several of you, can treat her like shit and she's okay with it. And then there are the sometimes that "your" actions will cause her to get shitty with me.
You want to call anyone a name here, do me a favor, make sure your name is attached to it. I don't need any of these "shit for brains" women thinking I'm behind anything. I am a MATURE person, I own what I say and I don't hide behind anonymous posts.
Walrus is not one of my trade names for her so being that it was 3:40 am and walrus was the name I would say I’m not the culprit it must be some one else she pissed off --------------------------------------- added after 10 minutes
How would it be even possible to vote on the abuse panel make a comment and not know who posted it I’m not understanding this
I didn't say anything about the voter referring to her as a walrus, the other day someone called her a walrus in the forum. And, of course, that was all "my fault".
Apparently, if a referral is "dismissed", no record is kept. She's so damn angry, and I would be too, she can't think straight. My impression, based on the comments, the member is still here OR it she is unable to find the profile, they voluntarily deleted their profile. The only record admin has and keeps is the record of SUSPICIOUS profiles, that were PREVIOUSLY BANNED. If the member was not banned, he keeps no record of the referral.
IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT'S "FRIENDLY" with lix and could ask her why it took her 3 weeks to ask and be pissed off, I would be interested in knowing.

Here's another point to ponder, why is that even a feature? How did it come about?
Did someone recommend it or is it just part of a package of options? Thanks.
