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 just posted this on a new thread and, in the sake of transparency I'm copy/pasting my comment here.
licksipsuckit.....Lix...you, like Bella, Dgraff, Phart and several others, got it wrong. I don't choose to "suck up your arses now and feed off the dags you feed her". I choose to visit Bella's forum site because her site is usually the only site that has some interesting topics. The forums are full of innate threads that belong in the heads of overheated male brains. You, on the other hand, seldom participate in the forums and never under your account name. For a long time I was a champion of the people that got trashed by Bella's crowd and you was a big recipient of my effort to fight trashing of my friends. It turns out it was for nothing. Lix, you've got your opinions on what I'm doing now. Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what they are and that is the same about anyone else. Bella, Dgraff, Phart, Jamie, or all the other members that may or may not want to be friendly, they can all kiss my ass. I'm doing AND ENJOYING, my time on the site. Just an aside......Phart, who almost always has opinions totally opposite to mine, is usually the nicest to me.
As far as needing someone to defend me for some of the shit posted about or against me, I think the site knows that when my ire is molested, I don't take prisoners. So, in honor of what I considered a friendship, you, and Dgraff can keep out of my existence on site.
I would PREFER that you would not discuss me publicly with your friend. What you say to her in a private conversation is between just the two of you, unless either or both of you decide to make it public.
Phart, Dgraff, or Lix? FYI Bella!, you were mentioned in my post but I did not discuss you publicly, privately, or otherwise. All I did was tell about this site thread and some of it's forum topics. My post was not directed to a friend or enemy. It was done to explain myself and my recent actions to ignore you or anybody else for what you perceive as a general truth. You and Lix are in an open war. No, I don't give a flying fuck who is right or who is wrong. Like I've said, if I visit this site it's because of the content matter.
Then I will kindly ask you to not "mention" me in your public posts directed to your friend. Perhaps you and maybe she feels that we are in an "open war" but I can assure you, I really don't give her any thought.
Just so you understand, I do NOT have influence over what members post here and/or what they say about others. I would prefer that members don't take pot shots at her in this thread and I've gone as far as asking members to be nice. For you to address her post in another thread and toss my name into the mix only opens the door for her to use me as target practice and there was no need for that.
I don't feel like I've come at you with an attitude and I can hope that we can keep the non combatative momentum going.
Ah! Just as I anticipated! I logged out to see for myself in what context to were discussing me, aka "mention" me to your friend.
Surely, you are not that foggy minded or clueless about your friend's response to you, are you? It might be tricky but I'm sure you can sort it out. She wrote;
"hey, don't explain anything to me, Im not the self appointed site police and I really cant bothered to read what you've written after the word CUNT AND DIRTBAG on the first line, theyre only worth pissing on in my opinion *lix*"
This is where it gets tricky because she made reference to your "first line". No worries, I will simplify it for you. You wrote;
"Lix...you, like Bella (referred to as CUNT), Dgraff (referred to as DIRTBAG), Phart and several others, blah, blah, blah....
AGAIN, I will kindly request that you do not publicly discuss me or mention me to your friend. Thank you.
bella! surely, if you saw the first line, I said no such thing. I think all of you have taken too many sips of the cool aid. No matter. From now on, if I have to refer to you, I will identify you as “ Lix’s war sparring partner” --------------------------------------- added after 13 minutes
And yes, I am that foggy. I choose to be that way. You and Lix are two sides of the same coin. I don’t care if you can or can not control the other members. What ever those dip shits have to say is for me to deal with. I have tried to stay out of your way and to be honest, I like how things are working out. As far as Lix, well, she’s as good or bad as you and your bunch. Leave me out of your petty squabbles
What is so difficult for you to understand? KINDLY DO NOT DISCUSS ME OR MENTION ME TO YOUR FRIEND IN THE PUBLIC FORUM. I DON'T GIVE A FLYING CRAP WHAT MONIKER YOU THINK THAT YOU WANT TO ASSIGN ME, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR ***YOU*** TO DISCUSS ME/MENTION ME AT ALL OR TO HER. IS THAT CLEAR? THANK YOU.
Bella! why can you mention or discuss me any time you like but I can't pay you back in kind? I don't have private conversations with anyone except for sex. Yes, once in a while I do have a one on one with someone, but, public conversations are proof of what I've said. In this whole exchange on who said what to whom, I did not have a private conversation with Lix, you, @Degraff@ or anyone else. At the same time I've had some private conversations with some male friends about their ability to "FUCK ME SILLY".........oh....and I did not mention you.......even as a possible ménage ŕ trois
being mean to you would fix nothing.The whole idea of discussing opposing ideas and such is to try to fix the other persons mistakes and miss interpretations so they can make better desicions regarding their lives in general.Being mean is like beating a wild animal to domesticate it,futile.You treat the wild animal as you want it to treat you.and eventually,just as with the latest stray cat that I tried to help along in life,sometimes you fail. I had to scoop his dumbass out of the road monday morning.
I had named him Dingus because all he did was hang around and meow and eat.
But he had several places he checked for table scraps and he was on his way over here when he got the sqaush.
poor things aint got any sense.I mean,I almost hit the dumbass with the golf cart!
Well Lixy pixy spoiled meat pie I didn’t lie I’ve read your posts before and you care about no one but your self and the one woman that stuck up for you you kicked to the curb that one woman was candy or were you to stupid to realize that
Make what you will with it. As I said before, I don't give a rat's ass what ANYBODY thinks about me anymore on site. I will try to ignore innuendos, half truths and bitchy members.
And how is what I said derogatory in anyway to you I was letting the the walrus know that you were the best and only friend she had that would stick up for her and she turned around and shit on you
It’s not. You go from tone side of the line to the other. All you have to remember is that I don’t give a fuck, one way or another, about what you feel or do
Hahaha look at it this way as long as I’m deviling lix I’m leaving every one else alone and on weekends I devil the hell out of my baby brother or Markis then even lix gets a break
Do you understand what I'm saying, what my point is?
I do not understand what TWOWARM feels she has to say to that woman that concerns me. Each and everytime my name is dropped in any of her posts, her friend uses it as an opportunity to call me a cunt.
There also seems to be a correlation to the prominent member slamming me when dgraff starts in on the prominent member, too.
I hear you loud and clear but as I heard you say 100 times you have no control over what myself or any other members say I to have no control over what they say I’m a prankster I’m not happy unless I’m deviling some one weather it be on line or at home --------------------------------------- added after 4 minutes
Right now it’s just me and muggsy watching tv so I’m deviling muggsy but he loves it
Do you see how things unfolded? You taunt the prominent member because you feel she has wronged her longtime friend and personal cheerleader. You were told to stay out of TWOWARM's "existence" by TWOWARM, herself. You were also told, by TWOWARM that she "don’t give a fuck, one way or another, about what you feel or do." Why expend any energy on someone who feels that strongly?
Your post struck a nerve with the prominent member and she referred to as a DIRTBAG but not before she took a swing at me.
