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,
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?

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.
Hi admin . Is there some type of SNAFU with regard to the verification tick mark? Some members see it (me) and some members cannot (cody8789 and 63yroldpussy )
Sounds good and perhaps when you've identified all the "kinks in the chain" and your workload eases up, you will roll out and share the changes that you have put in place.
Also, when I download a picture, I have to wait till the picture can be identified by admin before it posts to my page..... Did I do something wrong --------------------------------------- added after 112 seconds
Also, I don't see a verification symbol on anyone's page anymore
Hey, I just received an DM from a member who tried to upload a new picture and he/she received a message like; "new pictures are subject to be verified before posting on your page".
I wonder if that's got anything to do with or conjunction with that warning symbol that admin introduced a few weeks back upon a member's recommendation. The other day, the same member that I'm referring to referred a SYC member for deletion because in her gallery of 22 pictures, Yandex was able to find 6 matches on one picture. Yandex showed that the picture was found on two amateur sites, two adultism.com sites (I consider adultism to be amateur) and there were two other sites. To me, the member's pictures looked consistent and I voted NO ABUSE. The member had a big meltdown.
I try to upload a picture and this show up. Due to the current regulations we are required to view all upload before publishing them. There will be a delay before your upload appear in public areas of the site.. --------------------------------------- added after 6 minutes
It seems like we getting new judges so our pictures can upload.
Current regulations? What "current regulations"? Like I said, I wonder if the hold on uploading pictures has anything to do with the "warning sign" ⚠️ that notynyt advocated to put in place? Too bad the warning sign was not placed on a couple of verified SYD member's profiles, too.
Do you recall the other day when notynyt referred DOUBLE2 for deletion and the Yandex link he used as proof had 6 links and 4 were amateur? Then he added "check properly" because of the NO ABUSE votes? BOOM! And now "regulations require that all uploads are viewed before publishing". Whew! notynyt is going to be busy! --------------------------------------- added after 79 minutes
My sincere apology to notynyt for thinking that he had somehow spearheaded this change. notynyt, I am sorry that I spoke ill about you..
New members verified by admin, VERY COOL! And that process just started today. That will cut back on 99% of the Evaluation Panel referrals....and goodbye 50 points.
Because of a big bust of under@ge porn that happened to sites like pornhub some time ago Mastercard is "fighthing" against under@ge content distribution, so they fucked all sites where users can upload content with new regulations which they imposed very promptly giving only couple of days to react. I don't even know if this site will be approved at all. If it does not I will remove restrictions, since there will be no point in them. But I will probably have to close the site alltogether soon after that due to lack of revenue. It should become clear within several days.
~•~I'm sorry I am having a busy time. Festival season is going on here. I saw that profile on the main page while logging in. I couldn't find much. Otherwise I would try.
~•~ I just saw the verification option. I didn't ask any question to the admin.
~•~ thank you Admin. 🙏
It's all a good thing, pain in the ass for Admin but it's the way things are now. You don't have to search the "Dark Web" to find CP. The clear Web is saturated with this filth. Merchant bankers are under pressure not to facilitate Cp, Be@stiality and many other sordid topics. It's the law.
Make no mistake thinking you are anonymous wether t it be the dark or clear Web. Bitcoin is not anonymous either... Blockchain der. I personally have had malicious links from this site. But I run a VM. Virtual Machine so it don't matter and been playing with the internet since it's conception.
The one good side is less fakes, not foolproof but a step for the fake Hunters. And no CP.
Regardless of the outcome, Revenue is the only way this site will survive. Don't be a cheap, Buy a membership and points, whatever. Just support the site or it will be gone and all will have to go to NN 🤣. Jk we have been here since day dot and love it.
Changes are always going to happen, it's harder to swim against the tide.
Hi Bella, True and just some food for thought. I pay $50 dollars every 3 days for a packet of smokes. Yes I know Membership only costs 34.95 and the site won't kill me. Some simple maths could change the site to the next level. And by the verification from what I see will weed out the majority of idiots 🙂🙃
Hmmmmm.... you say, "Some simple maths could change the site to the next level", what are your thoughts, what could change or be tweaked a bit to get the site to the "next level"?

MY THEORY WHICH IS A GUESS is because they destroy their gifts to convert to additional points!

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.
